It’s satire yeah.
And they don’t! But they’ll put up with it if whoever the horse in charge is says it’s ok.
To note, the horse in charge is very likely the guy on the horse’s back. The horse does not seem to be confused by this arrangement.

Horses do not get used to unfamiliar environments. They have an environment they like and anything else kinda stresses them out. They’re big dumb skittish animals that long for quiet open fields of grass with nice firm rocky soil.
So yeah, taking a horse and throwing it on an aircraft would spook the bajesus out of it. Throwing it off again would probably scare it to death, if the landing, however gentle, doesn’t kill it

I think our mistake is assuming that our ancestors wouldn’t have also asked if your parents were related and farted as a hilarious insult over a stupid disagreement.
People have always been people. We just do it faster now. And probably quite a bit less violently.

Weeeellll classic memes are often celebrated for their excellence but there is a new meme featuring Orson Welles inspired by that same classic excellence. It is written in his voice and like the most choice classic memes, is fresh and OC so Orson Welles…

- Comment on Anyone here afraid of Mannequins? 1 week ago:
I once talked to a former military police officer and current cop about the only time he’d discharged a weapon outside of a training scenario ever.
He was walking through a department store looking for some individual, the details of who and why weren’t important to him and so weren’t shared. Anyway, somebody bumped in to a mannequin next to him and he discharged his entire clip in to it before he realized it wasn’t a person.

Reason 475 to stop using those apps. Even if your driver doesn’t pick up multiple orders from the restaurant you ordered from, which was rare the last time I used them, they may still be doing multiple orders. Your food will be cold and smell weird.

V has as much money as you have at the end of the game, they’ve got properties and cars, whatever cash… But your connections are just whatever fixers are still alive when you get back. But now that you’re kinda useless to them now they won’t be very eager to help you.

I played it twice when it came out, and several times since then, once or twice with every major update. Don’t judge me I love cyberpunk settings.
It’s a completely different game now. A much better experience. It’s still quite possible to make the game ridiculously easy for yourself. Hackers will have an easier time than a street samurai, and if you put the time in to do all of the side quests you’ll quickly level to the point of unstoppable brute force merc anyway. But, the core experience is good, the expansion adds a lot, and is worth playing through even if you don’t do the rest of the game.
I say this as someone who, in spite of how good I wanted the game to be, could recognize that the released product, and even the game several updates in, was deeply flawed. I didn’t have the issue with bugs many people were having, but still it felt unfinished and unrefined. As of 2.1 I can confidently say it’s a good game, even if you’re not a freak for a criminal underserved cyberpunk setting.

Holy shit that ending hits hard.
spoiler
You’re abandoned by everyone you cared about, the few that remain are so changed they’re hardly recognizable, and you’re alone in a city that eats people alive. I think I had a few million eddies and literally every apartment in town, V could survive by never going outside. But with nothing left to live for what’s the point?
- Comment on AI hallucinations are getting worse – and they're here to stay 2 weeks ago:
Absolutely.
AI generated content was always going to leak in to the training models unless they literally stopped training as soon as it started being used to generate content, around 2022.
And once it’s in, it’s like cancer. There’s no getting it out without completely wiping the training data and starting over. And it’s a feedback loop. It will only get worse with time.
The models could have been great, but they rushed release and made it available too early.
If 60% of the posts on Reddit are bots, which may be a number I made up but I feel like I read that somewhere, then we can safely assume that roughly half the data these models are being trained on is now AI generated.
Rejoice friends, soon the slop will render them useless.

Got lots of 65 year old factory or construction workers, do ya? And I’m talking about laborers, not supervisors etc.
Yes.
The oldest guy on our seniority list has had one job his entire life, he’s 72. He refuses to retire. The entire first page of seniority is guys in their 60’s. To be clear, if they’re on the seniority list, they’re not supervisors, they’re machine operators, welders, paint line guys, and tradesmen.
I, at 40, am one of the younger people in the building.
We recently started sucking up as many students as we could for the trades jobs because of how dangerously close to retirement most of the workforce is.
These jobs are not nearly as bad as people think. It’s not construction, which absolutely can and does destroy bodies. Factory work is engineered around being ergonomic and safe. If for no other reason than there simply isn’t the workforce available to replace people that leave young. But there’s actually lots of reasons. It’s legally required, it’s watched closelt by more than one federal agency (at least it WAS…). The factory literally can’t make money if these guys are getting injured all the time, and it’s way easier to make something safe to do than deal with constant injuries.

You’d be surprised. Most industrial jobs are not all that physical anymore. I felt the same as you did at your age and I spent 20 years grinding jobs I absolutely hated because I too had no ambition coming out of high school. I ended up bouncing around call centers while trying to find something I enjoyed at college enough to be successful at, all the while being passed over by people who actually enjoyed what they were doing.
I’m a tool maker now, I do a little troubleshooting, a little machining, and my job is immensely satisfying. It’s not for everyone but that’s every job.
Honestly even if you’re opposed to industry, I wouldn’t bother with an expensive education until you have some idea of what you want to do. Find some place that’ll give you an entry level job and provide tuition reimbursement, get your core studies out of the way while you figure stuff out.

The best times I had with any PVP shooter were always in the middle of the day on weekdays. It was always a bunch of working age guys like myself and that was the only time they had to play. Dudes were always friendly, games were always fun. 3pm Eastern hit and the fun was over, if it was Friday you were done playing for the weekendb unless you stayed up really late, even then, it was never as good.

The man loves 3 things. Beer, himself, and trucks. He’s clearly drinking the first and fucking the other two, hard to judge a man who’s obtained the kind of success in live that allows him to indulge in his hobbies.

Since monkeys tend to hit the same keys repeatedly, rather than trying them all out at random, I’d say your second order monkey business is actually more likely to succeed than the first set of monkeys ever typing out Shakespeare is.
