I played when it first came out, then again around 2018. Felt like a huge waste of potential to me. Unless there's some legal reason, I absolutely cannot comprehend why a normal pokemon battling system wasn't included.

Unless doing something besides just reskinning their other game (Ingress?) was too much work.

Ignoring the literal-ness of "all human lives have value", equating billionaires to an ethic group enduring apartheid and genocide is a hell of a take...

I'm listening to a 4 part Behind the Bastards on Steve Jobs right now, and Woz is presented like a pretty good dude, all things considered

Remembering this made me turn to dust and blow away

Do not buy random TV boxes off AliExpress, like 80% of them are malware

"It's like relying on unpaid labor when the company has nearly a billion dollars in revenue," he added. Reddit reported revenue of $804 million in 2023, according to an earlier filing.

It's not like that, it is that.

This but unironically lol

Getting high and watching anime really

Doodles from a very long time ago too lol

I do miss reddit a reasonable amount, especially for niche subs. I do definitely appreciate Lemmy though, and often it feels like I'm actually having conversations instead of screaming into the void like on other platforms.

the whole point is that the most resonating choice for ruler becomes the ruler...

Do you actually believe that the political establishment/ruling class of this country has ever "resonated" with the majority of people?

At least in recent times, there is much more evidence to the contrary.

What the OP's question is referring to is whether or not there is an organized political movement of any real size or structure that represents leftist ideology (which at minimum I describe as anti capitalist). In the 2 major parties, there is not. Full stop. Of the lesser parties which have a snowballs chance in hell of actually getting real power? Probably not. Greens bad Dem Soc are not explicitly anti capitalist as far as I'm aware.

As if EMS is stable lol

How do you handle discovering new music? That's a big sticking point for me

Not so much refuse, but I don't currently pirate games or music. The systems available to me are too convenient for me to waste time fucking around with piracy.

The right is already working hard on that

As long as the AI has access and can accurately interpret your medical history

This is the crux of the issue imo. Interpreting real peoples' medical situations is HARD. So the patient has a history of COPD in the chart. Who entered it? Did they have the right testing done to confirm it? Have they been taking their inhalers and prophylactic antibiotics? The patient says yes but their outpatient pharmacy fill history says otherwise (or even the opposite lol) Who do we believe, how do we find out what most likely happened? Also their home bipap machine is missing a part so better find somebody to fix that, or get a new machine.

Everyone wants to believe that medicine is as simple as "patient has x y z symptom, so statistics say they've got x y z condition," when in reality everything is intense shades of grey and difficult to parse, overlapping problems.

Do you have any relevant healthcare experience which informs this opinion?

¯(ツ)_/¯ eye of the beholder I suppose

Not completely but I'm still worried. For example, a lot of inpatient places now have telemedicine capability, where a camera turns on in patient rooms and someone remotely can talk to people, observe what's going on, put in orders, etc. Some places are using this to reduce the amount of actual on-site people, leading to worse nurse to patient ratios, or (imo) unsafe coverage models for patients who need hands-on care or monitoring. They added on a tele role like this onto my job description over a year ago, and I objected on moral grounds.

If this tech gets off the ground, I can easily imagine the telemedicine human beings being replaced by AI.
