  • Landlords Demand Tenants’ Workplace Logins to Scrape Their Paystubs

  • It doesn't feel like there's any class solidarity in the US except between the very rich.

  • This is too real

  • Find people that want to play, there’s more than you can think.

    Something I learned a long time ago is it's easier to find people who want to play D&D (or whatever game) and make friends with them than it is to make your friends play D&D.

    There's probably a nicer way to put this, but frankly most people are a fucking mess. And who can blame them? This is a capitalist hellscape. But that means if you're semi randomly selecting people, you're going to get a lot of people who are barely holding on, and won't make fantasy elf time a priority.. Some of them might sincerely want to play, and overestimate their energy levels. Other people are terrified of confrontation, and will say yes even when they absolutely do not want to do that.

    But if you go the other way around, and find folks that seem friendly at a meetup or whatever for RPGs, they're more likely to show up. They already put in effort and showed up somewhere.

  • The god of guns demands sacrifices.

  • I don't think "mental healthcare" is a silver bullet (pun intended) to fix the problems. That's not going to fix the consolidation of power and wealth. That's not going to get people shorter work weeks, and more quality time with friends and family. That's not going to break up the media megaliths that profit from anger inducing feeds.

    Health care will help, but the problem is conservatism and it's shitty brother capitalism.

  • whatever happened to in-store coffee grinders?

    Jump

  • I think two of the somewhat fancier grocery stores I go to have grinders there. The more basic one I usually go to I don't think does. I don't drink coffee myself, so I'm not 100% certain.

  • Stars protest after AI actress gets agency interest: ‘What about living young women?’

    Jump

  • This doesn't seem like something that benefits the majority of people.

    If it was like "here's free (or at least legitimately cheap) access to some virtual actors. Go make the movie of your dreams, kids!" maybe that would be cool. Maybe there are people out there with brilliant ideas that are blocked by not having real actors to act for them. Maybe.

    But this just seems like another way for the rich to keep more wealth for themselves.

  • Is "hetero" a slur or something?

    Jump

  • No. Person sounds like an idiot

  • Meat is a leading emissions source – but few outlets report on it, analysis finds

    Jump

  • People are emotionally invested in meat and that often shuts down any conversation

  • Aaaaaaaand fight

  • The fighter in my story is the rogue in your story? That makes sense.

  • Eric Adams drops out of New York City mayoral race

    Jump

  • On the one hand, fuck adams. On the other, I appreciated him splitting the idiot and asshole votes between him and cuomo.

  • Aaaaaaaand fight

    Jump

  • That doesn't seem like the same thing at all. Can you elaborate?

  • Aaaaaaaand fight

    Jump

  • Hah, I should have. I do remember letting him search first once and being petty about it. "Oh, you got a 12? A whole twelve? Woowwwww. I'm going to take 10 and get a, let's see- twenty-two. Would be a 27 if only I had some sort of magical equipment boost"

    (For those of you who don't remember, "take 10" was a 3e rule where you can opt to treat the roll as if you'd rolled a 10, so long as you're not in immediate danger. https://www.d20srd.org/srd/skills/usingSkills.htm )

    edit: fixed typo that reversed meaning

  • Aaaaaaaand fight

    Jump

  • Years ago I kept having this argument with the party fighter. I was playing a rogue. He had some sort of magical lens with a bonus to find traps. I was like, "let me use that so I can find traps better. You can't even find traps with a DC above 20, rules as written. That's a rogue class feature. With the lens I'd be getting like 27 if I take 10."

    He was like "no. It's mine. I found it."

    Like, my guy. We're all in danger if we don't find the traps. You don't see me holding onto armor I can't use.

  • Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies

    Jump

  • If AI is a bubble that pops, all the big talking heads that went on about how it's the future and we all need to embrace it won't lose credibility. They'll mostly just keep their jobs. Not fair. I can be pig headed and wrong and I'll do it for less than their seven figure compensation

  • Teams

    Jump

  • Do you actually do work or are you one of those middle-men that add dubious value?

    And, like, do you think I can read my coworker's screen from across the room and be like "Ah yes, that is TransferProjectView.py. I should tell him that I am also planning on touching that file"?

    And adults can learn to explicitly communicate. It's not impossible. You just type into the box.

  • Teams

    Jump

  • I don't think microsoft understands shit. I think their leaders are out of touch, lying, idiots. They continue to exist based on inertia and past success.

  • Teams

    Jump

  • It's frustrating because management are so colossally, transparently, stupid but they get the big paychecks and the workers get fucked. And then like half the workers sit there going "Well this is just and fair. this is a good world. If the people actually doing the work had more of a say, that's communism and thus axiomatically bad"

  • Regulating AI hastens the Antichrist, says Palantir’s Peter Thiel

    Jump

  • Peter Thiel is a monster whose opinions should be discarded.

  • What's your favourite menu music in a game?

    Jump

  • Without thinking about it too hard, the binding of Isaac. I like how when you unlock the tainted characters, when you flip to that menu the song changes to a different version. It's the same song, but creepier.

  • Ah that's whats going on

    Jump

  • In the same sense of wanting to go to the gym can be solved by watching videos of working out, or wanting to take up weaving can be satisfied by watching other people weaving. It may be enough for some people but it's not really the same thing.
