You’ll stop using corporate social media now, right?

A big chunk of that is capitalism. People who aren’t doing work make decisions and keep profits. A self directed team might blow their budget on famous voice actors, 8k graphics, and executive retreats, but probably not.

Misread as 71% of Americans want [Taylor] Swift to end Trump’s Iran war. I was like I didn’t know she was in politics, or had that power.

Piracy and open source projects are the best way to weaken the tech oligarchy.

I can think of some other ways. Some of them don’t even involve plumbing!

A member of the general public can’t issue a citation.

My lawyer tells me it’s a “crime” to smash the windows of an illegally parked car. Even if they’re double parked in the bike lane.

Awakening 2nd edition is pretty sweet, but it’s not exactly speedy. I do enjoy the mini game of figuring out exactly how many dice I feel comfortable giving up for my bonuses, though.

But yeah, my most recent game is a purely street level situation. Recent events include

• killing an AI music CEO because fuck that noise
• killing a nimby lady, a dirty lawyer, and dirty assemblyman as part of a favor exchange
• agreeing to help a spooky but friendly old lady try to get her church back from a grifter (this will probably involve murder)
• agreed to supply a “maybe a mad scientist?” guy that’s been working on animating the dead with bodies. (They provided two deceased dead cops)

There sure is a lot of murder in this game, though.

Once again, when the legal system descends into farce, vigilantism becomes more appealing. The rich can twist the law as much as they want, but they’re rolling the dice that they’ll have a surprise plumber visit.

This month management started quietly asking us to “write more of it ourselves” again.

I think… I think there’s a chance that if I was in-person, and this happened, there would be violence.

And the people who run this shit need to go to jail. I’m sure a lot of them would rat out their corrupt buddies for a reduced sentence.

Poster makes a meme about Mage, a decidedly non-dnd game. Replies are all DND anyway. The RPG hobby, everyone.

Anyway, my current game has a similar problem. Blowing up a data center with a car bomb, killing a dozen construction workers and cops: sleep.

Letting a video of the PCs shrugging off multiple close range gunshots go online: real shit

So, maybe that’s everyone else.

Most people are pretty helpless. They just take what comes out of the box.

There’s that political cartoon that’s like two people on bikes through a beautiful downtown, and one says to the other “If anyone tried to add bike lanes like this back home, I’d murder them”

Good. I look forward to a future where people who fought transit have their lives improved by it, even if they’re too small minded and foolish to recognize it.

I went back to windows for a little bit a couple years ago because when I tried to install mint on the new desktop, Ethernet WiFi and HDMI didn’t work. I tried some fixes but it was a real shit show.

After a little while on windows, I went with pop!_os , which worked out of the box

They’re not smart or visionary. They’re just rich. They sell us a myth that they’re titans but it’s a lie.

It’s all projection. They have poor empathy and poor critical thinking, so they think everyone is basically like them. That wouldn’t necessarily be a problem, except they’re also a bunch of toxic submissive types that will always yield to perceived authority.

They’re shit people. Failures to live up to human potential.

As the spokesperson put it, the robot’s actions may legally constitute fleeing the scene of a traffic incident, meaning Starship Technologies could very well be on the hook for the incident.

Good. Nail them to the wall.

Yes, because they are incompetent. They are not fit to be decision makers. Fucking get rid of them.

I’m so tired of work being a fucking nightmare because the people in charge are high on their own farts.

It would be cruel to make this a gif that every few seconds changes the text to clown goths only

I don’t think so. I think it looked like a normal rectangle flash drive, but with some buttons on one side.

Oh! It was the creative nomad muvo, the model without the screen. Looking online it was actually two pieces- the flash drive part slid onto the audio part? Man, it’s been a while.
