- Comment on Yeah, let's stop with this "don't judge people for their poiltics" bullshit 1 week ago:
I was frustrated and angry at my government, you know what I did?
I cast a protest vote for the PSL. A lot of people Lemmy are going to be mad about that because they’re Dem partisans, but many people cast protest votes or stayed home. People who refused to vote for Harris I can understand.
To actually vote for Trump you have to be extremely confused. Fortunately, when prices don’t go down, everyone will realize he isn’t helping either. Then things get spicy!
- Comment on Yeah, let's stop with this "don't judge people for their poiltics" bullshit 1 week ago:
Don’t assume someone who voted for Trump lacks morals or is racist etc.
They could just be really stupid. Did you think of that?
- Comment on What job do you need this hard hat for? 1 week ago:
That was my first thought. The only way this could be somewhat safe is if the hat aesthetic was a facade and would crumple at the slightest pressure, and underneath the facade was an actual hard hat.

Interesting that people believe we’re still gonna have elections where Dems can win.

White conspiracy theorists know they stole this land and are terrified that what goes around, comes around.

- Comment on Why does it seem like every TV series I've ever watched gets cancelled/rushed/incomplete ending, while movies (even those in a film series/trilogy) rarely face the same problem? 4 weeks ago:
Is it? Wikipedia says “From the late 1960s until the mid 2010s, a season commonly included between 20 and 26 episodes” and “A “full season” of a show usually runs from September through May for at least 22 episodes”
But uh. The mid 2010s were like ten years ago. I guess I have no idea how long a season is now 🤷♀️
- Comment on Why does it seem like every TV series I've ever watched gets cancelled/rushed/incomplete ending, while movies (even those in a film series/trilogy) rarely face the same problem? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, a movie is 2-ish hours. A season of a show runs for at least 22 episodes or 200-ish hours.

Not just admitting they under-deliver.
They’re admitting to market collusion and lashing out at the companies that betray class solidarity.

We are products of our material conditions, yeah, there’s no inherent evilness - it’s a learned behavior.
- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 1 month ago:
Oh I’m not saying they’re like, a different species of human or anything. This is just what being rich does to people. It’s like you said, they never experience that period where they have to settle for less. They always get more, and so they always want more. It’s the way their brains have been trained to expect rewards. Someone like me, who is happy using older stuff and waiting for the prices to come down, has been trained to live this way. Someone like them, who always wants the best and most expensive, was also trained to live that way. They become hungry ghosts because of their lifestyles.
- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 1 month ago:
Normal people don’t desire more at all times. They’ll be happy for a while before setting their eyes on the next goal.
These hungry ghosts, though, never experience that period of contentment. That moment of happiness where they achieve what they want and can rest never comes, not even for a second. As soon as they get what they want they already want more.
It’s different.
- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 1 month ago:
No, actually, normal people can settle. That doesn’t mean they don’t treat themselves “once in a while” or sometimes crave something special, but they don’t need more more more all the time.
But there are some people who always want more. They never are satisfied, not even for a second. As soon as they get something they want they’re already bored with it and want the next best thing. It’s a hedonic treadmill that gets faster and faster, they’re never happy.
- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 1 month ago:
There is no end game. They’re hungry ghosts.
They just want an ever increasing “more”

- Comment on Dungeons & Dragons Rolls the Dice With New Rules About Identity 1 month ago:
They didn’t just “come across” as racist. Racial traits were racist in previous editions, by definition, because it was about the differences between races. Tying differences to race is always racist, that’s literally what racism is. I like the change to “species.”
But if they’re different species, I don’t really think those differences are racist anymore? I don’t really see how “elves have more magic than mountain dwarves” is still racist when they’re entirely different species. I guess it can be problematic for there to be one species that specializes in Int, Wis, and Cha since they’d just be inherently smarter and more beautiful? There’s probably no way to make that work. But why shouldn’t the elvish species be better at magic? It’s just an odd choice.
- Comment on Dungeons & Dragons Rolls the Dice With New Rules About Identity 1 month ago:
Okay, then the article is unclear, because:
“Races” are now “species.” Some character traits have been divorced from biological identity; a mountain dwarf is no longer inherently brawny and durable, a high elf no longer intelligent and dexterous by definition.
…
“People really wanted to be able to mix and match their species choice with their character-class choice,” Crawford said, adding, “They didn’t want choosing a dwarf to make them a lesser wizard.”It sounds like the goal was to decrease the differences between the species. Looking at the pages you posted, it sure doesn’t seem like elves are actually any better at magic. They get a few spells from their heritage, more proficiencies, but a human spell caster and an elven spell caster would basically be the same. It looks like the changes are intended to make playstyles interchangeable between the different species - no species is a greater or lesser wizard than any other species.
I guess I don’t dislike it? It just seems odd to make species less different.
- Comment on Dungeons & Dragons Rolls the Dice With New Rules About Identity 1 month ago:
They either needed to replace “race” with “species” or divorce traits from racial identity.
Instead they did both and I’m not sure it works? If a human is a different species from an elf, why shouldn’t elves be inherently better at magic?
