@lain @Moon
more related to cyberpunk stories: I think the cyberpunk aesthetic is too good for its own good. As in it's able to be used as a crutch for paper-thin everything-else. As a result it attracts lazy content that would not be able to stand on it's own without cyberpunk tacked on, especially when it becomes trendy. Similar to zombie theme; there's good zombie-theme stuff, but so much bad stuff just leans on zombies to stand.

This word needs to be used more often.
"[thing] is good, but it'd be better if [current year political issue or short-lived meme] was shoehorned in." -

"[...] will be cool if everybody makes up new slurs"
There's a lot of this from the politically correct crowd lately. Like inventing new slurs is progress. Then in a decade or two, they'll pretend it wasn't them, like they currently do about slurs they used a decade or two ago. -

@Moon >I want you to make a country that I can comfortably live in without me having to worry about it, and if you fuck it up I cut off your fucking head.
That's how it works with monarchy with "divine right of kings" and "mandate of heaven".
If the country gets so horrible enough, a coup or revolution occurs, and with lots of death and fucking head cutting off, the dynasty is replaced with a new one.
Voting is a way to simulate this without the death part, with increased frequency so things can change course before they get too horrible.
>I don't want to vote either
I don't want to refill my car's gas tank, but doing so is better than letting it run out and buying a new car with a full tank. (car analogy for the steep cost of cutting off the fucking head of the guy tasked with making a country) -

Isn't the optimal "15-minute City" just a single enormous building that takes 15 minutes to walk from one end to the other of?
That people would just live out their entire lives in a single giant building, never going outside unless they receive a permit and pay for all the "carbon" that going outside "makes"? -

@lain a symptom of both scientism and authoritarianism is that "we don't know" isn't an option.
An honest "I don't know" is so much better than made up stuff. -

The absolute ghoulish glee from both left-socialists and right-socialists about the CEO murdered in Baltimore turns my stomach.
What the fuck is wrong with people to be so happy about a woman being raped (possibly?) and murdered. The right socialists love it because she was woke and therefore "the enemy", and the left socialists love it because she was a CEO.
Evil, miserable, ghoulish, psychopathic people. I *don't* hope it happens to them, but I'm sure they'd laugh if it happened to me.
I live not far from Baltimore, so frankly the story doesn't surprise me, but the frenetic jizzing of terminally online morons and glowie shills over it bothers me more.

@lain I haven't played BG3, but I've heard that. I remember when I played BG2 I was bothered by how sex was the apex of relationships, and iirc some non-sex-related character subplots were locked behind sex.
I was miffed because there's more to people than sex. I understand I'm in the minority in this opinion. -

@john @lain this video provided a fair skepticism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz1LM9kwRLY
It only 3d prints the walls, which are far less than 95% of the house. The walls are concrete, which cannot be smoothed or nailed into or have cabinets hung on without significant human labor. Cracking and weather sealing is a big problem. It's not even cheaper.
The big examples that people have done are frequently not even real (prefabricated elsewhere or touched up by hand), and never include a 3d-printed 2nd floor, because that's not possible to do. -

@lain 3d-printing for building construction makes me cringe so hard. It's like the mis-application of blockchain.
On another note, Islam is catching up to Christianity with ugly soulless brutalist postmodern architecture.
And Dubai is being Dubai. -

@thendrix @lain
How do we pay for our bourgeois luxuries and feel-good policies and programs?
Tax the poor.
Inflation is (among other things) a very regressive tax on the poor.
If progressives realized this, you'd think they'd care about inflation.
But there's this notion that inflation is caused by all the greedy companies colluding to raise their prices, rather than money-printing. -

@thendrix @lain also tbh one of my first thoughts was
"you bought the small rice bag and the small dried beans bag?? Buy the biggest size, it stays for years and is 4x as cost-efficient"
Seriously, it's like 8x as much for 2x the price.
Rice and beans are fucking great. Add a little cheese and/or taco seasoning, and it's still probably cheaper than instant ramen. -

@rdr @ridge CC0 is a better license than the one in OP or public domain, because many places actually do not have proper methods or make it difficult to submit to the public domain.
I could even imagine a judge saying "this contract is a joke and not valid, so this work is implicitly copyrighted, as otherwise un-indicated works are".
>Dedicating works to the public domain is difficult if not impossible for those wanting to contribute their works for public use before applicable copyright or database protection terms expire. Few if any jurisdictions have a process for doing so easily and reliably. Laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction as to what rights are automatically granted and how and when they expire or may be voluntarily relinquished. More challenging yet, many legal systems effectively prohibit any attempt by these owners to surrender rights automatically conferred by law, particularly moral rights, even when the author wishing to do so is well informed and resolute about doing so and contributing their work to the public domain.

So does this make Zelensky less worthy of his Socialist Great Leader Castro-Style Outfit, or more worthy of it? -

@lain I'm not familiar with the particular thing you're talking about, but the desire to not "look poor" can be very strong for some poor people. imo it's a form of bad culture because it actually traps people in poverty, spending on luxuries instead of being frugal and saving.
Wait, do you mean roaches *inside* the console? Like did cheeto dust and soda drippings got in? -

@lain Bernie Sanders couldn't make Bernie Sanders work. In the face of an obviously rigged primary election, he conceded and endorsed his cheating abuser, in a huge betrayal.
Then he did it again in 2020.
At this point he's just Lucy holding the football in Peanuts. And in that sense, he did work: he got the progressives to vote blue no matter who, and give their money to Bernie, who then gives it to those he claims to oppose.
People like Bernie are there to keep the populist left a captive voting block for democrats, who will be promised things, but like Lucy and the football, never get them.
In this case it's good they don't get what they want, because of the labor camps you mention, which would be where all the "free stuff" would come from. -

@Moon it would be funny (and fucked up) if Reddit became a case study in Dead Internet Theory: bots talking to bots for the purpose of manipulating not-logged-in humans who observe them like they're in Plato's Cave. -
