Tekken 8 has done a good enough job with their game and character customization system that I wouldn't mind spending some extra money for cosmetics I enjoy.

It's not bad to have the conversational option, but at a certain point in a project's life cycle it probably shouldn't be the only option.

A complex project like a government would have a hard time throwing out all their knowledge infrastructure and relying purely on Discord.

Yeah, you're right. I don't think what he did was right. Then he lied and lost his job because of it. I don't think public office is the place for a person like that.

I think the inner anxiety I have is the fact that I've never asked for IDs from anyone, although I've never had reason to believe I was ever doing anything illegal. But I didn't even know asking for ID was a thing, but it makes sense.

So I guess I feel a bit of sympathy towards him at that moment because I could see myself potentially making the same mistake, not out of malice but out of stupidity?

No disagreement from me though, you are right. Just trying to figure out if my sympathy is misplaced or if I'm just too naive.

Fucked up that she lied about her age. Fucked up that he cheated on his wife.

Decent rotation. Hydra is always good for farming king salmonids.

No. Peace of mind comes from trusting, not from knowing.

Yeah for sure. You can't logically prove that world view one way or the other, but it's something worth thinking about and meditating on imo.

I broadly interpret "form relationships with people that make your life better and avoid shitty people" as "Do what makes you happy with the assumption that everyone is doing the same thing, and that the choice to pursue happiness is correct."

I definitely get the sentiment of "avoiding shitty people", but I do think that there is a time and place for it. I have some family members with some really hurtful world views and I still choose to engage with them when I know it will bring happiness for both of us.

But yeah, I don't think my philosophy is logically perfect by any means. It is admittedly irrational, but it's the best thing I've found for being able to live my life the way I feel like I should be living.

Unless you think that everyone is the same person and humanity is just a distributed consciousness. In which case anyone you end up with at any time is the person you're supposed to be with. At which point the key to moving forward is trusting and forgiving "yourself".

Exactly! I think one of the fun things about growing up is realizing that your personal experience isn't completely unique, and that other people have shared similar experiences. I also don't think it's weird to have the idea that many of the things we enjoy and find funny (like puns and silly sounds) would cross language and cultural boundaries.

That feels intuitively correct to me, but I'm not sure if I'd say any language is particularly "easy". Language is complex, complicated and only makes sense in the context of understanding human communication. Although language is also more intuitive than we give it credit for.

I think spoken Japanese is possibly "easier" than spoken English, but written Japanese (outside of digital media) is essentially impossible for me because I don't have Kanji memorized.

I haven't seen the security footage myself, but the article indicates he had an opportunity to tell uniformed officers that he accidentally pulled the alarm but chose not to. It seems like something he did out of frustration, not incompetence. Of course it's impossible to prove intent, but the choice to not report it or explain the situation can't be overlooked. "It's not the crime, it's the cover up."

In a charging affidavit released Wednesday, an investigator said he had reviewed security camera footage and that Bowman can be seen pushing multiple doors that would not open before he looked at the emergency fire alarm pull station "and upon seeing it, he reached out and pulled the fire alarm down."

Bowman can also be seen "jogging" as he exits the building and does not stop to say anything to uniformed officers he passes as he enters the Capitol minutes later, according to the affidavit. It also said the building was evacuated for about 90 minutes before it was reopened after no threat was identified.

Good bot

For sure! Cory is much more articulate than me. If you have 45 minutes I recommend watching his Defcon keynote

If you're using "enshittification" the same way Cory Doctorow does, then the key is reducing the cost of moving to alternatives. Once a platform has a captive market then they can start taking advantage of consumers and advertisers.

It's entirely possible that the Lemmy and Mastadon instances you join will become awful, but because anyone can host an instance and consume content from whichever instances they want the switching costs are essentially 0.

Support for ActivityPub is, in my opinion, an important component because it allows for a standardized way to consume content from social media networks. Imagine being able to leave Twitter, but you're able to bring everyone you want to follow with you because their posts can be consumed using a standardized interface.

Really surprised we didn't side with Hamas this time.

Really uncool move. It's crazy how people pull stunts like this. It also frustrates me seeing this type of behavior from people in positions of authority.

I'd be interested in evidence that supports either claim.

I'd think this type of behavior is more about social anxiety than introversion.

Yeah. I think there is a pretty big difference in the dynamic between a person who owns and directly manages rental properties and a corporate land lord that exists purely to extract as much money as possible from a tenant.
