The worst person you know is still just a meatbag, same as anyone else. Jeff Amazon himself has no power but what others, operating within one weird system, grant him.

Problem is we let the pricks run things, or we become the pricks ourselves.

Trick is figuring out how to stop both those things from happening. Must be tricky, given how it keeps happening. But we're a clever species. We landed on the moon, took pictures of the backside of our star, spilt the atom, etc. We can figure out good economics and governance.

I like some of it, but not everything. Customizable is good, but if it's all preloaded and unmodifiable then it's more a mockery of self-expression, isn't it?

Move fast and break things, but it's a passenger vehicle on a public road.

There's no reason he couldn't have it go co-op. But what could happen vs what will, we just won't know.

Oh it's Towers of Hanoi. I have a screensaver that does this.

Once again trying to do a good redstone in Minecraft. But mostly just mine and chill.

‘I can’t explain [why we think you shouldn't include these characters in your one-woman play]. And frankly, I’m quite baffled that you don’t understand.'

Okay but if you can't explain your position, why would you assume others can understand your position?

They're probably already in the data set of whichever LLM they use to write their policy documents anyway, so sure, fine. 🙄

I mean, you do, but... Often you just attest citizenship. Not sure if it's checked on the backend or not. And illegal immigrants often have SSNs, just not their own. That's how they can work much of the time.

Not that I expect many non-citizens are voting. The risk to reward ratio makes it really unattractive. Even citizens struggle to bother.

Without seeing the studies, it's hard to know if they were good studies that support her position or not.

Solidly built games, but they lack the player-characters at the center.

They're great games, pinnacles of the form, but I don't think they hit the same as Planescape: Torment.

 

Hey folks. I was wanting to get a new set of keycaps for my work computer's keyboard, but I'm having a little trouble finding a set that seems like a good fit. I'm fishing for suggestions here.

I'm looking for a set with XDA profile and a darker color scheme (the base is black). Most XDA profile caps I've seen on AliExpress seem to be on the lighter side, and most darker caps aren't XDA profile.

And ideas?
