I keep seeing job posts that have requirements like "must be excited about AI tools". If the shit was good people would be excited on their own.

It's all slop from the worst, soulless, people.

If I'd made 500k for a couple years I'd be happily retired at like 40. Buy a home for less than $1mm, then live off the interest and safe investments

Rich people are bad at money.

Sometimes the manual steps grow like weeds. Where I'm at now, they haven't invested in automation much at all. Now deploys take all day. Making a code change is a sweaty manual regression search process. It's bad.

It's a post-truth world for many people and maybe always has been. Feelings are the only things that matter. The "facts don't care about your feelings" line was, as always, projection.

I think few people think they're reasonable and not extremist, even when they are relative to the Overton window.

Like, the guy who wants to deport all immigrants thinks he's a centrist because he doesn't want to kill them.

Some combination of literal child and troll, I expect.

Broader experience will help you make more informed decisions about the world.

Also when you say something like "I've never met an atheist who didn't celebrate Christmas" you sound extremely, let's say, provincial, and that may have adverse consequences for you in some social contexts.

Hello.

Also meet more people of various backgrounds.

I have met many people who are at least that stupid. Gullible people with limited ability to imagine future consequences.

New players really should be told to play Pathfinder 2e at this point, not D&D5e

It's unfortunate that DND 5e is the sole mega popular game.

People who want fantasy tactical combat would probably do well with Pathfinder 2e. But people who just want to tell a fun story would probably have a lot more fun with something lighter, like Fate.

There's so many games out there and most don't get the love they deserve

That sounds like most big corporations. Humans don't like being told no, so people with power will consciously or not surround themselves with people who don't do so.

Why would you expect them to be immune to stupidity?
