It is inevitable that an opposition would form against you. You either let the movement continue to gain traction and risk unseating you or you use your power in a corrupt manner to silence them.

Clarification for green. Does it require physical contact or is it like a Death Note situation? If it’s the former, don’t we already have that ability? What about non-bio-based materials? If you eat a rock and poop out a rock, does it also now qualify as poo?

It’s disturbing how normalized speeding is. It goes beyond normalization. I’ve had people get furious with me, flip me off, tailgate me aggressively and literally try to run me off the road for driving the speed limit.

It’s especially stupid in the city. People get all pissed at me for driving the speed limit and maneuver recklessly around me before speeding off, only to get stuck at the red light a block ahead. I could feel smug as I pulled up beside them a moment later, that is if it weren’t for the disappointment and frustration I feel with how stupid people are behind the wheel of these speeding death machines.

I can’t think of any other law we have where a significant proportion of society seems to be actively hostile towards those who care to abide. Why do we accept this as a society?

I’d wager a lot more than some need a Callum to explain what they should think about anything, given the state of things.

Personally, no. You’re barely an adult at that point. If you have the privilege of a disposable income at thirty, splurge and enjoy yourself. Treat yourself to new experiences.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Technically, only a small section of California is part of the Cascadian region. But so is most of Idaho… And I think just about everybody would be happier if we made that trade.

We’re investigating private companies for bias now? Are Truth Social and Fox News next??

Won’t anybody stand up for the leeches landlords??

I find you get much better results if you talk to the LLM like you were instructing a robot, not a human. That means being very specific about everything.

It’s the difference between, “I would like water” and, “I would like a glass filled with drinking water and a few cubes of ice mixed in”.

How bread is made

First, people need to accept that we exist within a culture of overconsumption that directly contributes to climate change. Sacrifices to common conveniences will need to be made before we can make any meaningful change.

I’m not saying this is all on the individual. Corporations contribute tremendous waste. But they do so in service to society’s demand for convenience and instant gratification. We all need to learn to live with less.

Sometimes, as I approach middle-age, a desire to have kids creeps into my fantasies. And then something like this comes along and snuffs that desire out.

On a separate note, that batman suit is dope.

Notice your default behaviors and take a moment to consider whether they serve you. They might, they might not. You may want to change them, you may not. Just be intentional about how you conduct yourself.

Sounds to me like we need another room.

I feel like I’ve got whiplash over the general public’s perception of Snoop over the last decade or so

Third one in a little over two years. They say it’s to keep up with inflation as if they’re a retail store operating on razor thin margins and people accept that. Meanwhile, they’re donating to fascist political parties and shafting artists by leveraging loopholes to pay out fewer royalties.

Or the basketball-sized spiders

So many. To list some that aren’t in the top comments:

Foxhole - This one gets to a point where it becomes an obligation. It feels like work that I’m not getting paid for. And still I’ll easily get sucked into defending a town or advancing a front for days on end between periods of burnout, checking statuses at work and staying up way past my bedtime, decimating my sleep schedule and productivity in the process.

Don’t Starve Together - My partner and I took a week off and were supposed to go camping but we ended up playing this too late the night before we were supposed to leave. We woke up really early to pack the car and it took about five minutes for us to go, “nope, this ain’t happening”. So instead we spent the entire week locked in our apartment playing DST from the moment we woke up to the early hours of the morning and living off of our camping provisions.

League of Legends - I played a lot of LoL back in its early days. My dorm had awful internet so when I came home for the summer it was pretty much all I would do all day every day. It brought out a bad side of me. Losing felt awful and winning was never satisfying enough. I’ve been clean from LoL for over 10 years now. Sometimes I still think about downloading it but I’ve so far kept the strength.
