Many such cases.

Right, so there’s very few middle management or C Suite jobs, got it.

What argument? The article appears to claim that the reason there’s more bad CGI now is studio leadership changing stuff in post and failing to plan.

Nope, they really don’t. You may have to engineer a cooling station.

Wew lad but can you ever tell this is .ml.

So, thought experiment for you. What do you need to overthrow a government and oust a bunch of rich assholes from power? Well, you need power of your own, right? You need loyal comrades.

And say you actually manage it. Chances are it was tough. Some didn’t make it. But now you’re sitting on all this wealth and power. Are you just going to give it back? To who? What if someone abuses it?

You’re the one who did the work. You’re the one with a vision for the future. And now you have these loyal comrades and surely they deserve something for their sacrifices and hard work?

And so it goes.

Anyway, it’s less about Communism as a set of ideas and more about what power does to revolutionaries and how that mixes with the local culture.

Or the CIA made it all up because Mao and Stalin et al did nothing wrong. 🙄

And nothing of value was lost.

Are you ok? Because I wouldn’t be mainlining that much doom.

God I hate “screen time” discourse. Not all activity that happens on a screen is of equivalent value.

Depending on your perspective of time, none of them did. All of them happened and are as much a part of reality as any other moment. We may have moved past those moments, but that’s only an artifact of our relative position in the timeline.

I think it’s a form of clout seeking behavior. When a community is against something, extreme stands against that thing garner approval from within the community. This creates a reinforcement cycle so people keep doing it, doubling down in the sentiment. Simply defederating doesn’t elicit approval the same way talking about it does.

Proton has done wonders I hear. Wonder how bad it’ll be dealing with my 3080.

There’s nothing untoward about pooping but I don’t want people to watch me do it.

Yes, it has nothing to do with their inability to follow other instances’ rules and constant need to “dunk” on “shit libs” mostly by posting the same image of a pig pooping on itself. /S

Such discourse. Much Praxis. So brave.

Yep, got one. They’re lovely and read in one second and are extremely accurate, but a simple 4 or 5 second reader will do the job just fine for most applications. Those can be had for around 25 USD.

Kitchen scale. Baking is much better with weight measurements instead of volume. Also useful for calculating calories.

Headlamp. Having light where you don’t need to hold a phone or a flashlight is great.

Digital meat thermometer. No more guessing.

USB charging hub. Charge many devices at once.

Ugh, so much freemiun trash.

We always said Santa was a fun make believe activity, but then our house has a lot of fantasy media so what’s one more myth?

The Lies of Locke Lamora is a fun fantasy heist book

The Book of Three is the first in a classic high fantasy series. It’s a lovely comfort read, but definitely targeted at younger readers.

You might consider Nix’s Abhorsen series for a unique take on Necromancers.

Foundryside is wild and fun if not a hugely traditional fantasy. Imagine if you could carve sigils on objects to make them ignore reality in very specific ways.

Might as well mention Week’s Lightbringer series too .
