If it truly ever got to that point, then yes, things like spot check audits to act as a deterrent could make sense. But when our current system penalizes a community for abusing a privilege they don't even have, it's hard to look at the huge and unnecessary costs and say "we're making the most out of our tax dollars."

UNDERSTAND.

UNDERSTAND.

Cute twink who makes thirsty songs. Peep the video for "Rush" by him if you want to get an idea for how his vision of this show would go.

The more time that passes between each repost is more time for the premise to be less "2005 dude-bros can't fathom being unmasculine for a second" and more "when did Troye Sivan write this?"

Gonna wait for performance info at launch, and grab if it runs well. There's basically no point waiting for professional reviews, since it's such a love-it-or-hate-it gameplay loop. I really liked the first one (doing a replay now), so unless it comes to light that it's now a MG:Survive clone or something, I should be alright 🤷

I'd argue that ignoring that any forced, unpaid labor under threat of violence is slavery is worse than "minimizing chattel slavery," full stop.

This is unintentionally drinking the corporate prison Kool Aid at best, and actively sanitizing our prison's cruel labor system at worst.

Accurately calling prison labor slavery isn't a knock on chattel slavery, it's an acknowledgement that it's changed. Say it's not as bad all you want, but it's still the same forces at work.

I'm even more infuriated that AI as a term is being thrown into every single product or service released in the past few months as a marketing buzzword. It's so overused that formerly fun conversations about chess engines and video game enemy behavior have been put on the same pedestal as CyberDook™, the toilet that "uses AI" (just send pics of your ass to an insecure server in Indiana).

I already have tech tips, thanks tho

Just had to open a link in Teams and it ignored that Chrome was my default to launch Edge, then tried to set itself as the default for anything clicked in Teams.

I can easily see Microsoft doing something comparably shitty for people opening links in Word or PowerPoint. If not for Apple's even more egregious ecosystem practices (among other things) I'd be very tempted to switch.

Washing clothes by hand is so ass that some Amish communities allow machines lmao

It's environmental geopolitics 🤷 seeing widespread adoption of a policy that the US (Reagan) ignored get traction in Ireland helps highlight how shortsighted that view was. Considering the US has had a small hand in building the world's energy supply, it seems at least tangential to remind people why such policies have existed.
