  • 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.

  • 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"

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • That's not really small town though, in my mind. I was thinking of like suburbs where people drive everywhere.

  • People in walkable cities tend to be hottest. Daily exercise does a lot of good for bodies.

  • I don't think markdown wraps codeblocks by default, since code can be whitespace sensitive.

  • when I used to commute, before the pandemic, I read so many books and finished so many games during those two hours a day of transit on the train. Doing that by car would have been so much worse.

  • Off topic nitpick: If you use > for quotes instead of triple backticks, it wraps the text better (at least in firefox)

     
        
    Yes. Driving too slow on a highway can be dangerous. This graphic is not suggesting you drive 50% of the speed limit. It’s advocating for not speeding.

    > is typically for quotes, and the backticks for code, too.

  • I feel like a common problem is people say they want to play D&D, but in the same way that people say they want to go to the gym, or take up weaving, or whatever. A lot of people are really bad at honestly, accurately, evaluating their future self's energy level and interest.

    There's also people who say they'd totally like to join their D&D game, but they don't really. They're just afraid of conflict or hurting your feelings. There's this thing some people do where they try to spare someone's feelings by being a little dishonest, and end up causing a lot more problems. I would so much rather someone just say to my face "I don't want to play D&D" than "oh yeah that sounds fun" and then they keep having scheduling conflicts or flake or ghost.

    So yeah, I don't know. Some people are just a mess.

  • Foreshadowing is a pretty effective tool, yeah.

    Ideally when the thing happens, whatever it is, the players go "oh that makes sense."

  • It's a pun and one of the prominent meanings is "old people like boomers like them", while the other is "rockets go boom". You know this.

  • I think some people are bad at reading through no real fault of their own. Then they feel, consciously or subconsciously, embarrassed and angry when they try.

    I also think a lot about a woman I knew that was like "analysis is stupid. Sometimes a story is just a story!", and that was very strange to me. I asked some more questions, and she said she hated how in school they were always reading and being told to find the secret meaning. I was like, your education failed you. The game isn't find the meaning. The game is finding a meaning you can support in the text.

    Like, Dracula can just be a book about a dude that bites people. But you can also look at it and be like "hmm so these women abandon their 'motherly' duties of raising children and staying in the home, and the only way to 'fix' them is for some men to hold her down and penetrate her with a big piece of wood? Hmmm"

    But, also, you don't have to think hard about everything you read. You don't analyze every TV show, even though you could.

  • That's a terrible way to get news.

  • Some people need an out-group to hate. That's it. Everything else is a justification for the good chemical feels they get for subjugating the outsiders.

  • It's nice not having to ever worry about car stuff. I just have to worry about this high horse instead.

  • 88 is an unfortunate score.

    Anyway. I haven't played the full release, but it's been good in early access. I think it's a little harder than the first one

  • Other people already gave most of the answers, but

    Parks. Go for a walk. Play a game with folks (Frisbee, soccer, whatever). Ride a bike. Read.

    Meetups. I go to a tabletop RPG one. That's not unique to cities, but I can walk to this one and there are probably more people attending than you'd find in a less populous area. I also used to go to a basic neighborhood hangout one. There are many others.

    The library is free. Many books and other media to enjoy.

    This city has beaches. It's $3 for the subway ride there , or if I was really broke I could ride a bike.

    There are free museums. I don't go that often but they're interesting.

    But also

    And to make it worse many of them probably have a 1 bedroom apartment so its not like you can sit in there all day long (at least i cant).

    I realize im still spending money by being in my house out of town, but still, at least things I buy are owned by me, and im not paying someone else every time I want to do anything. If I want to stay at home all day I have tons of stuff to occupy my mind without going nuts.

    I don't think I accept this premise. I stay home in my one bedroom without any more trouble than when I lived in the suburbs. A computer full of games doesn't need a lot of rooms. I have plenty of entertainment here. I don't see what's stifling about a one bedroom. Maybe a tiny studio I could see. But even so, when I lived in a whole house it's not like I went skipping from room to room.
