  • Trump pardon helps child sex offender avoid prison despite guilty plea

  • Conservatism is a bad world view. Rigid patriarchal authority will lead to abuse.

  • U.S. Tech Layoffs Hit Two-Decade High in October

  • I think a lot about the guy I worked with that said he was going to Palantir. We were like "but what if they have you doing awful things?" He was like, big shrug. He was always friendly to people in the office, but I guess that's as far as it went.

  • Have you talked to a lot of tech workers? I feel like there's a set of left wing ones, a larger set of libertarian types, and an even larger set of people who are shockingly ignorant of politics and history.

  • If your lifes goal was to make life better for as many people as possible how would you go about achieving it, assuming you could get start-up capital for your project?

  • Probably get as many conservatives out of power as possible. Once they're gone we can work on climate change, better electoral systems, removing the evils of capitalism, and so on.

  • It's wild to me how some places I've worked are like locked down, all the infrastructure is in terraform or whatever and can be deployed immediately... and other places are like "ssh into prod with the credentials from confluence, edit the config in vim, and paste the new code into a new file"

  • I literally describe breathtakingly good pizza as "cartoon pizza"

    Jump

  • One time in a game of DND the players were exploring a strange cave system, and found a strange thick goo collecting in a pool. Players being players, one of them decided to eat some.

    It was, in my notes, some sort of celestial honey made by these extra planar insects that were causing some of the region's problems. It was supposed to taste amazing, but with some drawbacks. I started to blank when trying to describe how good it was, and the phrase that came out was "it's like... It's like .. it's like seven pizzas!"

    The player eating it, his eyes lit up and was like "AMAZING"

    The other players were like "wat"

    I think that adequately captured how delicious it is but also maybe you shouldn't be eating it.

  • TIL - FBI recommends using an adblocker for security

  • Several of my friends are non technical and just put up with the ads. I guess they never thought there was another way

  • Whats your hot take on something that doesnt matter at all?

    Jump

  • I could accept it matters more than 0, but it is pretty far down the list of issues given the state of the world.

    I occasionally become insufferable and recommend people play other games, but people don't really care. It's like getting people off twitter.

  • Transitive reasoning

    Jump

  • Oh that's a good pun on transitive reasoning

  • Whats your hot take on something that doesnt matter at all?

    Jump

  • This is broadly true, but given the low level of rules mastery I've seen I say "shared understanding of the rules" is a generous description.

    Still, like a national fast food chain sometimes you just want something familiar even if it's not as good as other options. You know it's not likely to be worse than your expectations

  • DOJ tells Republicans that Epstein files even worse for Trump than they thought: report

    Jump

  • The only thing that matters to them is in-group solidarity. They are bad people. That is a bad person world view.

  • Whats your hot take on something that doesnt matter at all?

    Jump

  • Everything is an option according to them but it’s ultimately isn’t.

    It really is a more restrictive system than people think. If you have a concept that's like "psychic batman" you can't really make that concept go in DND. Trivial to make in the other games I play the most (fate, CofD).

    Jump

  • D&D is not as good as it is popular. It's a very idiosyncratic game that's mostly focused on a particular kind of play, but people treat it like it's a general purpose tool.

    Clearly people can have fun with it, and that's what really matters. I'm still convinced many of them would have more, easier, cheaper, fun if they picked up a different game.

  • The Billionaires Who Tried—and Failed—to Stop Zohran Mamdani

  • That's so much money that could have been better spent

  • Anti-AI people, did you ever like AI? If so, when did you stop?

    Jump

  • I briefly toyed with some of the early image generation stuff. It was a fun toy for making NPCs for RPGs.

    But now it's everywhere and being used as an excuse to squeeze labor harder and deliver dubious value. If it just stayed as a toy I wouldn't mind it much. I get annoyed at the aggressive "do you want me to rewrite that for you??" shit that pops up now.

  • LinkedIn is so blandly bad. There's a lot of formulaic slop, but apparently it's effective enough that people don't stop posting it.

    Also I thought all reasonable people agreed that unconscious bias is bad and we should minimize it in the job process, but then LinkedIn goes and says "Everyone have a profile picture! This definitely won't unfairly benefit some kinds of people!"

    Also people who try to use it as a dating service need to be banished from the land.

  • Then do universal basic income. Now people are free to spend a couple hours scooping ice cream without risking their safety. Assuming your basic income is enough to cover a dignified life

  • I mean, kind of, but the robber is the root cause. They have agency and choose to rob. If it was flood protection, yeah, can't blame the water.

    The Republicans deserve the bulk of the blame
