Businesses are making more money, they are accumulating cash and so are their employees.

This seems… dubious. Where is the money coming from? Is it a closed system? My understanding is the government typically is putting money into the system through various mechanisms, much of which is giving money to rich people and their businesses.

Is the problem that the businesses have too much money? Because taxing them seems like a better solution.

Yeah. I wouldn’t bring it up as a non sequitur but it’s pretty important.

Why don’t we use this surveillance to nail the big companies that are polluting to the wall? (Because we are ruled by the worst among us.)

Republicans are stupid, shitty, worthless people.

They’re like children who don’t understand cause and effect. Or like a dog that eats a bunch of grass and then is utterly surprised when it throws up later.

I’m always like what did you expect to happen.

Sadly, no. Two ancient laptops (circa 2004, 2008) and a 20-something inch crt with no HDMI.

I have several old but working electronics and I literally haven’t been able to give them away for free. They’re probably going to end up in the eWaste trash. I don’t know if that leads to anything being reclaimed, but probably not.

What kind of jerks would just steal a cat?

If you use hyperbolic language when discussing the war crimes that American troops committed in East Asia and explain how that comes back to hurt people in the US. Well, that’s just supporting terrorism.

What portion of US adults are familiar with the My Lai Massacre, would you guess?

I remember a lot of conversations that went like

“Why did they do 9/11”

“They hate our freedom!”

“That’s… it? There’s got to be more to it than that”

“Shut up it’s too soon to talk about that stuff”

If we can get the tech bros and the anti-vaxxers to destroy each other , that might be a big win

They should be stopped.

I’ve dated a couple defense attorneys and they all had horror stories. Our legal system is a cruel joke.

We’re a stupid country rules by assholes and morons.

You just know if someone tried to make a serious push for it, all the fox news types would go into a frenzy. It’d be an easy way to whip up their idiot base.

It’s been a while but from what I remember every character woman is either an idiot or a manipulator.

They took the witch from the first game and made her a conniving lying betrayer.

The way Leah was written is… Not good. Weird purity issues. And she dies horribly.

The female follower NPC is… A scantily clad enchantress.

You start to see a theme and wonder about what the author thinks.

These so called conservatives really have the worst stance on like every issue.

I’m more of a case by case basis for mapping. Most of the time, I’m not running a maze where mapping will reveal interesting information (eg: these lengths don’t add up - maybe there’s a secret passage).

One time in recent memory where I did run something like that, I had the players map it and it was super effective.

My impression is a lot of the people in the hiring pipeline are bad at this job. Maybe they’re good at other parts of their job, but not hiring. Especially not the recruiters who aren’t themselves technical

I remember back in like 2012 I had a white woman coworker with one. A native speaker in the office quietly told her it translated to like “old hag”, and a week later she had it redone to be a rose instead of a language she couldn’t read.

I feel like stupid is consistent. Someone who is stupid will wear these glasses, and also act like the manager in this story.

Because they’re blood soaked assholes who would be facing very uncomfortable consequences if there was justice in the world.
