Is the lesson that conservatives are idiots and scum, and under no circumstances should they be allowed to make decisions of import?

People aren't paid enough. The rich have too large a portion of the resources.

Eat the rich. Bury their collaborators.

Don't want "ai" here.

I also wouldn't really want fake shirts made with Photoshop by hand. AI is worse though.

They're stupid and corrupt.

Google still has a chat embedded in Gmail, but because Google is grotesquely incompetent they've never succeeded in making a good messaging service. I think they've had like 15, but they are too fucked up to just make one work.

One of the things I bring up if someone says "we should run the government like a business"

Running games has definitely helped me run meetings.

  • Establish turn order.
  • let people finish their thought instead of immediately following some dumbass tangent
  • take notes

I mean, that's kind of been the case for like all of recorded history

Many people don't want to date someone destitute or with poor financial prospects. That's just going to be hardship, and there are many other people that are probably just as good a fit without that problem.

Similarly, someone who makes way more money than you can add tension. They might be like "oh let's go out for dinner!" to someplace expensive, and you don't have the budget for it. Are they going to pay for it? Are they going to resent that? Are they going to pressure you into paying? Their expectations and standards may not align.

Also, if the relationship is going to be long term most people assume there will be some merging of finances.

Some jobs are also just gross. I wouldn't date someone who worked at Facebook. I wouldn't date someone who worked for Fox News. Your job 100% can reflect your values and personality.

Americans are just stupid, and it’s easy to whip us into a moral panic.

I'm having a thought. It's easy to write them off as stupid, and they may be, but there's also like... If they have really bad information, the decisions they make given that info as true make more sense. If you really believed that Harris was eating babies, or "she's a communist that's going to put the christians in a labor camp", it would make sense to vote for the "lesser" evil.

Just need to figure out why they believe such falsehoods. it's probably fox news et al.

Step 1: Acknowledge the problem.

Just getting the bulk of people to acknowledge, out loud, that the current capitalist structures are creating many unacceptably bad outcomes would be a start. People often leap to "well anarchy is bad too!" without spending enough time on how big the current state is.

 

I tried it a bit with my reaper in pve and it seemed okay, but I wasn't doing anything challenging that really put it to the test. I haven't tried the others classes yet.

 

Currently, I'm polite to friendly with all of them. No outstanding conflicts. It's sometimes literal kitchen table poly with one, and the others I only see at like parties and such.

Some years ago I had two partners that absolutely did not get along with each other, and that was rough. Recently I was able to do a dinner with 3 partners and everyone had a good time.

I try not to make a big deal about folks meeting. I try to model after meeting your friend's friends.

 

For me there's a bit of a network effect where the polycule sprawls out into the distance. Partners have partners who have partners.

But for disconnected folks, it's mostly been tinder (yuck), and a local meetup.

(Also this might be the first post? That or nothing federated yet)

 

Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
