I don’t like real time because then I panic. Turn based is my kind of combat!

You got a lot of shit just laying around on your floor?

if it’s small and you pickle it, I’m down.

Sorry but you are a big fan of cucumber.

Why not turn based games?

Don’t you have to wait 30+ days between tests to do the deed and avoid STDs?

They have pills now that will keep you “ready” for 30+ days

I have one that just sits on top of my coffee cup.

The pour over press is the best coffee flavor I’ve ever had. And so inconvenient.

Burn it all down

at least large enough for the corpse and me

It doesn’t look like anything. It’s an invisibility umbrella.

It also lets you walk through walls.

Now I’m more confused. Why is it scrambled? To keep people from copying it? Were they doing this before MS bought it?

I was hoping you’d say “Microsoft decided to rewrite the whole game in C++” but I guess that’s not the case (although I think the AMAZING Minetest game is written in C++ and I actually like it more).

I thought it was all done in Java.

amazing

I keep hearing about infected monkeys. Did something happen in the news?

Is it possible to use deterministic automation for some boilerplate instead of LLMs?

I’ve never had those problems. I’m especially surprised by the boot script issue. Mint and Ubuntu are the main “beginners” distros. You’d probably be fine if you went with mint again. Pop_os is supposed to be good. I use EndeavourOS with kde plasma desktop and it’s fantastic. But you have to run the update script weekly to be safe.

I’m so glad we have smart cars.

There’s no utility in defining it the way

I ready described such utility in how it opposes our shallow images of “cApiTaLisM” (and meritocracy etc). Capitalism as instantiated doesn’t match our descriptions of it. Human greed is the constant engine. Liberalism emerged from that emergent environment, and in some ways helps maintain aspects of those systems. But corporations will never actually support any ideology, whether that ideology supports or opposes “capitalism.” Corporations (or rather the humans whose greed is their engine) will, at best, stab us in the eyes and ears with ANY fractured ideological images that gets them some near-term increase in power or profits.

It isn’t socialist in any way

Doesn’t matter. All my descriptions match reality. And these are the terms we use to refer to these aspects of reality. Corporate socialism is very real, even if it isn’t socialism. Get used to it because it’s a fixture of our society.

If corporations trampled on capitalism, they would erase themselves.

Nobody in any board room will ever care about that large-scale erasure. They will each act in support of their career and their shareholders’ profits. Destroying the environment may ultimately erase all corporations. They don’t care. They cannot care. They are an algorithm for increasing profits. Larger ideological values are irrelevant. So-called capitalism (to the extent that it even exists) is a product of all this high-concept greedy animal behavior, not the cause.

That’s not what socialism is to begin with

But that’s what corporate socialism is

“Liberalism” has always generally been that which affirms capitalism

That’s one function of it (in context) but that’s not the definition. That’s not “what it is.” Also, these corporations would trample capitalism itself to gain more power.

socialism is a mode of production where public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy.

I’m not talking about socialism, I’m talking about corporate socialism, which is not a form of socialism. It’s a term which demonstrates how anti-liberal and anti-meritocratic and even anti-capitalist the top-down government-corporate control network is.
