I don't think it was a slog, but I do find DND 5e an unsatisfying system. You spend a long time waiting to get to the cool parts of your character, and unlimited resting breaks dnd's already dubious balance.

I think there's a scene in a TV show recently where the modern day Nazi says something like "They like what I say. They just don't like the word Nazi"

Many people have a, let's say, shallow understanding of history. They believe Nazis are bad but just like axiomatically. They don't have a good definition of why, and so they don't really see it when their in-group behaves the same.

Drivers get so mad about having to wait an extra 5-10 seconds for a pedestrian. Seconds. I'm like just calm down dude.

(from the US, but it's probably universal)

There was a job interview once where the candidate was presented with a form that had 3 entry fields. They started as like [2, 4, 8]. The candidate was tasked with figuring out what made the form submit and what generated an error.

People would build all sorts of bizarre hypothesis and fail to test them. Good candidates would have an idea, then try to invalidate it.

It was for a QA role, where the ideal candidate would have good debugging skills instead of running with the first thing that came to mind.

Edit: oh, it was basically this guy: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/07/03/upshot/a-quick-puzzle-to-test-your-problem-solving.html

NYC $2000/mo for a one bedroom is a pretty average deal.

At least you don't need a car here

Played for a while, a few times, but there's not much challenge so I don't stick around that long. Got strong enough to kill all the sentinels easily. Got a freighter and billions of credits. Lots of resources.

I can imagine deeper stuff they could do, and maybe they will one day.

Samantha Fulnecky is a bag of trash and her last name really invites jokes about Charlie Kirk's ending.

Conservatives having bad ideas seems to be a universal truth

Are .gov sources still legitimate? Are we sure this wasn't written by rfk's brain worm?

As a kid it was mixed. My parents would bicker sometimes. Seeing extended family was pretty nice. Getting gifts was nice. But it never was a magical fun time.

As an adult it's hard not to see... How to say. People call themselves Christian. They buy nice toys for themselves and their close ones. They do nothing for the poor, hungry, and vulnerable among them.

It's hard to feel good about a Switch2 when there's hunger and concentration camps.

And then that's extremely alienating when most people don't care. They don't care about anything. They just want their cool toy and can't you just stop talking about all these upsetting things? They don't want to fix anything they just don't want to feel bad.

For work, a Mac and vscode. I don't love vscode but it's what everyone uses.

Well, some of them develop on windows with like notepad++ and it's kind of a nightmare. There's no ci/cd, linting, or testing, so whenever I check out someone else's branch it's full of red squiggles.

My personal is pop!_os Linux where I'm also using vscode because I'm too cheap to pay for pycharm.

It kind of reminds me of some kinds of Christians that believe people will convert if they just tell people about Jesus. As if we've never heard of Jesus and the Bible before. We know. We just don't believe.

Meh. Need more details but I don't feel that excited about this.

Yarvin is trash and I hope he suffers some lonely, embarrassing, fate.

That makes sense.

I personally think unequal enforcement of traffic laws is fundamentally unjust, anyway. If it's really only safe to drive 25mph, enforce that equally. Don't let it be a vector for harassing minorities.

It's funny because the US says it's all about freedom and democracy, but it's not. You go to work and you do what the boss says. That is the day to day for most people. That's not freedom. That's petty tyranny.

Shit more than ~14 years old should be public domain.

J'ai acheté Splendor (sans DRM) sur "Humble Bundle". J'ai le ".apk" (Android), mais je crois que ils ne le vendent pas maintenant.

En anglais, où ils disent pourquoi : https://asmodee.helpshift.com/hc/en/6-splendor/faq/945-end-of-google-play-and-itunes-support/?s=specific-questions&f=end-of-google-play-and-itunes-support

Il y a Splendor pour Steam. Le "steam deck" (je ne sais pas le nom français) est plus grand que le portable, malheureusement.

You're not listening to me and I don't think you're worth listening to. Go away. Goodbye.

In my imagination, some sort of referral/voucher system might work. A invites B, B invites C. C turns out to suck. Ban C, discredit B heavily and discredit A lightly. Enough discredit and you get banned or can't invite more people.
