Nah… take the Iranian government, then take the Israel government… and throw them both into the Thunderdome!

Pay-per-view that shit! (And use the proceeds to help innocent rebuild their lives)

Yet they didn’t know about preparation for the October 7th attack?

Tinfoil hat mode: they let it happen to have a reason to raze Gaza to the ground.

(Sorry, that’s my “Bush did 9/11” moment)

Everybody who was passionate about games have left and been replaced by money-grabbing opportunists who only want to inflate the stock value, bail out and get their severance pay.

I don’t have links to it at the moment (I’m prepping dinner… so excuse the laziness 😅) but if you search “D&D controversy” or “OGL” you’ll find plenty of discussions and analysis.

In short: they tried (but are still attempting to) bring micro-transactions and loot box mechanics to tabletop games.

Television has taught me it’s usually resolved within 30-45 minutes of hijinxs and adventures … or two episodes if it’s something really major

I remember when the internet was only for nerds… before it was ruined by the high school cool kids and the jocks

Lesson learned: wait till someone is dead to name drop them in your sci-fi 🤣

Or as my kids started calling it “Daddy is allergic to the sun”

The joy of slowly advancing position… preparing the covert mission objectives… hours of careful planning and precise movements… only to hear « Alarm!! Alarm!!! »

I agree! I have found a career that puts me right in the middle of IT, film-making and design.

All Areas where I started but never went the full mile…. Well turns out they’re all critical skills to take care of digital signage and hybrid events 😅

Yellow and blue splotches of sparkly paint everywhere 😆

And then they feed the documents to a LLM and iterate over it

I seem to recall a way to run the browser as a background service so it’s essentially always running. You just “File > New Window” when you start it.

It’s hazy though… been a while and it was when I was using SwayWM

I understand the sentiment, but it’s a very surface level reasoning.

The deeper issue is that as soon as you decide one group can’t vote, then the can has been opened and now it’s easier to add more groups to it. And one day a political party gets to power that decides YOU are in a group it doesn’t like.

Like in certain countries: you CAN present your candidacy for elections…. BUT… it makes you an enemy of the president, and enemies get thrown in jail.

Ah! I loved using Doom EMacs for a while!

… but alas I came back to my initial love with Neovim 😜

Exactly!

My answer to everyone saying “but Linux is hard…!”

No, it’s DIFFERENT!!

If using Cinnamon was your first learning experience on a computer, you’d think Windows is the worst user experience in the world!

“…but sir, we only know Node.js…”

Cool…cool… but what about game consoles?

“On this trade war that HE started…”

Ok… but then it’d be truth for once 😅

Yet when they surrender they get gunned down execution style… so… no thanks?
