What Clive Barker movie do you live in?

And in strange memory caches, even death may die.

Time for testing then 😊

Is there an option for being Evil Overlord List compliant?

Let’s not put Descartes before the horse.

Ohhh, that touched a deep well of hatred. My first engineering job was full stack and we had a highly modified Bootstrap front end. I’d build the thing they wanted, and the designers would get looped in for QA and insist that various pieces had to look like their little wireframe down to the pixel. I mean look, it’s easy right?

I asked why they are insisting on constantly going against the standards that had been adopted company-wide. Did it stop? Why no! Did I get a suit down with my boss? Why yes!

He is/was a cool guy and saw my perspective but also gave me precious advice on how to survive.

Pfft 😂

Roko’s basilisk is The Game for futurists.

Here you go, enjoy. You win!

Insert joker eating popcorn gif here.

Here’s one: Trading cards are something you own. Skins are limited to a game you’re licensing.

Here’s another: trading cards are portable; they can be put in a collection for display, put in a safety deposit box, etc. When CS goes, all the skins go with it.

Another minor one: baseball cards are informational, the skins are cosmetic only.

Yes it was. I think you’re getting down voted because people are considering private property with personal property.

Your stuff that’s there so you can live your life? Personal property.

Stuff that’s held from the common but isn’t for the purpose of someone living their life? That’s private property.

That’s an ableist statement. Uncool.

Might. Possibly. Maybe.

Five gets you ten that Reddit will purge the moderators, get lackeys into the mod positions, do a content prune to get rid of NSFW-ish posts and comments, then try to bring it back as “business as usual”.

Reddit has already demonstrated that they have no problem breaking their own rules.

Uh, no. The phone was made by workers. Workers laid the infrastructure and maintain the networks. Workers run the power plant and maintain that infrastructure as well.

Profit happens when the business takes more money than is needed to Do The Thing. That money is then given to people who (generally) have nothing to do with Doing The Thing. These people then take their extracted value profits, and increase their holdings so they can get more.
