I have a split 40% because I type for a living and normie keyboards destroy my wrists.
I DMed a lot of shadowrun, and I really do love both of them equally. RP makes the world fun and meaningful, while combat gives it physicality, makes it real.
I miss it, if only I could afford to spend 10 hours on prep every week :<
So I heard a bunch of sexist shit (about men and women simultaneously which is very impressive) that aligns perfectly with my biases, but I wasn't aware it's ok to say out loud? Chat is this real?
I think you're spot on with "young people dumb". Takes a while to figure out.. like, everything.
Generations will have different strong and\or weak areas because their environment changes, but our sum total of "competence" will stay the same IMHO.
It will be a big fucking fight, simply because that same ecosystem wasn't built with power transition in mind. There's no successor, no committee strong enough to fallback to, no independent power brokers.
The result is pretty much a coin toss, but I wouldn't hold my breath for a better outcome.
Let me just pack my programming socks
This is "proud boys"-level OPSEC 🙄
The real brain melter was the societal culture shift.
I grew up witnessing "the end of history" with my own eyes. People were getting wiser and kinder year after year, decade after decade. It was like a feedback loop of positive changes, the only way was up.
Then 2010s hit and I'm still processing the 180 degrees shift. I read dozens of books about nazis, authoritarianism, societal memory, cults, fucking roman empire. But I still have cognitive dissonance every time I open news feed.
Im in my 30s and often wonder, has the world always been this infuriating? Were we going apeshit watching representatives openly steal our future in 2005? 1995?
Were dudes in 1955 Paris tearing their hair our how the president's third cousin is getting a contract to rebuild the entire railway system on the merit of fuck all?
The republic is so unbelievably done.
Next mid terms the right will sweep the elections with Belarus-levels of fraud, in 4 years there'll be an amendment to officiate the thousand-years reich.
In 10 years -- world war 3.
If you take him at face value, he's a:
developer -- no way a PM can deal with AI code directly
senior/mid level -- since he was a team lead at some point
reviews and revises AI code all day
Leave him alone, the man is already in a hell of his own creation
Its 2025 you don't need to lie to make republicans look stupid, just read the news smh
