il pleut. j’aime le son. je suis en train de lire sur le canapé avec mon chat. (il dor)

Seems reasonable. As prices rise, more people will see it as a bad deal.

It is a little disheartening that the right will riot and everyone else is just like "I guess we lost. We don’t need to double check "

As I said at the root of this thread, my ire is mostly reserved for rich people who refuse to tip. If you’re struggling, you have to make your own decisions and compromises to get by. But the guy who makes more money from interest than the bartender makes all night, when they don’t tip they’re an asshole.

The problem you’re describing, that people aren’t paid enough and CEOs are too rich, is a very real problem.

No one should rely on tips, but they do. Refusing to tip now just hurts people , real people, immediately. You have to live in the world as it is while trying to improve it.

The bartender can’t eat your idealism nor find shelter from the elements in it.

Your experiences are different. My friends who work for tips tell me they rely on that money. Losing those tips would have an immediate and real adverse impact on their health and safety.

Have you ever worked for tips or been a close friend of someone who did?

People who make more in daily interest than the worker does from the shift , I don’t think have the moral high ground on tipping.

Guy taking home $250k salary with health care griping about $10 extra. Really.

Sure, income and the economy should be different. The worker can’t pay for housing with idealism.

Meanwhile Canada is removing bike lanes for more car support, and the US elected a deeply anti-environment party.

Their first pathfinder game was so excruciatingly guide dang it I never finished it, and never even considered this game. I kind of assumed it was the same way, where there’s stuff like “Ah, you didn’t return to this unmarked forest on day 7, so now you never get a wizard”

Oh, now I remember having an argument on here with some asshole who insisted I just have “fomo” over this. Sign posting and foreshadowing are only to appease fomo, I guess.

It runs without a problem via steam for me on Linux mint. I don’t know how to do whatever setup steam does manually, but you can just launch it through steam and sign in with your anet account. (There’s a config option to open the login window instead of using your steam account for login)

“I will not trust any vaccine made by a capitalist” sounds like a satire of a left wing person. I can’t tell if you were making a joke or really hold an absurd position.

I see poe’s law is alive and well.

I knew a journalist who said she used it for work. Apparently that’s just where a critical mass of people refuse to leave.

But also she’d send me stupid memes from Twitter.

I switched to mint because ms won’t even let me upgrade to 11 if I wanted to. Other than some initial hurdles installing it, and losing some hd space because I kept windows on the other partition, it’s been fine. Proton and Wine are pretty low maintenance

One of the reasons I enjoy games with metagame currencies like Fate points or Willpower. I just don’t find it fun or interesting to lose due to bad dice most of the time. Especially if the bad dice just delay things instead of resolving them, like one time a D&D fight against some ghouls took like 45 minutes because no one rolled well. No tension or stakes. Just dice for an extra ten rounds. Absolutely flubbing a roll can be interesting, but I like when there’s more choice involved.

“I rolled a 0 to grab the thief? No, that’s stupid. I’m a Royal Bodyguard I’m used to acting fast. I spend a fate point and bump that up”

More generally “succeed at a cost” is just missing from D&D as a concept.

There are too many idiots and bootlickers in the US for progress to be easy.

This is very plausible. And an argument for why we shouldn’t have the ultra rich. No one should be able to do such a thing.

People are going to get sick and die. Some of them voted for this and deserve it.

I recently got scolded for saying we shouldn’t work nights and weekends for free at work. (Everyone is salary).

The boss was telling me it demoralizes my coworkers to say that. And it “doesn’t hurt me if they decide to put in extra time”.

The most naive theory of labor, or just lying?
