Even if they all stupided themselves to death today, it would take years to repair the damage. Some of the damage can't be repaired. And we'd still be behind where we could have been if we had had competent leadership to begin with. Or even just less bad leadership.

We should never forgive the Republicans. Every one of them should be a pariah.

All the people who were mad about Clinton's email that aren't furious about this are hypocrits that should never be taken seriously again.

If you think 'voluntary' is acceptable for anything important you want corporations to do, you have no business making decisions about real life. If it's voluntary, they'll only do it if it benefits them.

You'd revive that program over the bloody corpses of many conservatives. Which, actually, yeah let's do that. A lot of other problems go away if the right wing bleeds out.

Labor hasn't organized enough to say "Fuck this shit" and demand a livable wage in exchange for their labor.

Meanwhile, management is salivating at the idea of firing most people and replacing them with AI.

The ownership class needs to go. Workers need to at the very least unionize, but should also take things further and seize control of what they've built.

I was just saying the other day that shit might escalate to car bombs. I don't really want to live in a world where I have to worry about that, but I do want musk and friends to explosively die.

If those Internet duds that get mad about black people in video games spent like half that energy being mad about, like, wage theft, we'd be so much better off.

And is it logical for that to change based on whether it’s a protest or advocacy?

...yes? Context matters. My go to example is "cutting someone open and taking out an organ is fucked up and a crime, unless you're like a doctor doing surgery in a hospital"

I feel like sometimes people try to handle human situations like they need to write a perfect algorithm that can run in BASIC.

If they thought about things and came to good conclusions afterwards, they probably wouldn't be driving this kind of car to begin with. The people who are driving it are probably not good thinkers.

I think we should organize and go demand everyone working for DOGE... stop. And not demand like with funny signs and chants, but like with 2nd amendment arms.

That's really bad. You might get other people sick with what you have, but if they're immune compromised or otherwise vulnerable they could have a really bad, possibly fatal, time.

Apply it to healthcare, science, finances, and the world will become a better place, especially in healthcare.

That's all kind of moot if we continue down the capitalist hellscape express. What good is an AI that can diagnose cancer if most people can't afford access? What good is AI writing novels if our homes are destroyed by climate change induced disasters?

Those problems are mostly political, and AI isn't going to fix them. The people that probably could be replaced with AI, the shitty "leaders" and such, are not going to voluntarily step down.

 

I tried it a bit with my reaper in pve and it seemed okay, but I wasn't doing anything challenging that really put it to the test. I haven't tried the others classes yet.

 

I'm looking for players for a weekly game of Fate. I'm thinking something like a mix of Shadowrun and World of Darkness, where the players are vigilantes looking to make the world better. It would start (and maybe stay) at the street level, rather than global or cosmic.

I've been playing and running games for 20+ years.

LGBT friendly. New players okay. Unreliable players less so.

Message me if you're interested. Include a blurb about yourself, your experience with games, with fate specifically, and a joke of your choosing.

 

Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
