- Comment on I'm pretty sure all of us have given up on any boomer giving us anything anyway 18 hours ago:
But I’m with you. I absolutely never understood why people ever feel like they are entitled to their parents money. Your parents earned that, not you.
I think the biggest implication here is that they didn’t earn it entirely. That they at least inherited something from their parents. Which would have given them a leg up and they refuse to pay it forward.
Obviously that’s not the case for everyone. For instance, my entire family was poor as far back as I am aware of. None of them had shit or got shit or were able to have a good retirement. So obviously I don’t expect anything from them.

I feel like this is bait. There’s no way this isn’t nasty.
- Comment on What do people (as in, IRL) actually think of the [alleged] perpetrator involved in the NYC shooting? 1 week ago:
A coworker mentioned it would’ve been better if that CEO was put on trial for his bullshit as so many were being fucked over by callous capitalist choices.
That’s the thing, the law is on the CEOs side. Almost everyone thinks his behavior should be illegal except the politicians won’t do shit about it. That’s what should really be going on now. Congress should be addressing health care in some fashion. Even if that only means limited action like cracking down on predatory insurance companies. Fat chance though.
So without a legal path of fixing the issue, that only leaves illegal means.
- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 1 week ago:
True, but if it’s not a traditional business but a coop, you’d probably prefer to have the original investors bee the members. Guess it really depends on if they can scratch up enough to cover startup costs.

I had no idea her name was Nana Visitor, so the title made no sense. What a name.
- Comment on What do you create? 4 weeks ago:
I like to create software tools for people smarter than me to create bigger and better things.
- Comment on What do you create? 4 weeks ago:
Disagree. Or at least, that’s just a side effect. I like talking to people about their expertise.

Looks like AI nonsense. The more I look at details, the less it makes sense.
- Comment on if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you? 1 month ago:
Agree with everything else but maybe not this:
You can choose to quit and be gone if you absolutely need to and you’re not going to be homeless. Now you work the toxic job not for them, but for yourself. You use that job, as toxic as it is, to get what you need out of it to raise yourself to the next level of what you need to go elsewhere.
The stress of losing the job is gone from having the money, but the stress of having that job has not gone away. If it is ruining all your free time it’s often good to just GTFO as soon as is reasonable.

Bad advice for a toxic workplace. That’s just going to ruin your mental health.
- Comment on Why did it take so damn long for humanity to "learn" how to draw/paint realistic images? 1 month ago:
Art and science were largely the domain of the rich and bored for a long time. This wasn’t really conducive of attracting those with talent, just those with the means.
- Comment on Why is the vision correction in VR headsets only an afterthought? 2 months ago:
That’s weird. I haven’t had much of an issue. Though my experience is with the OG Vive so that display is kind of rough to begin with.
- Comment on Why is the vision correction in VR headsets only an afterthought? 2 months ago:
Does that even help nearsighted people? The screen is literally an inch or two away from your eyes. There’s nothing to focus on.
I’ve never noticed much of an issue seeing in VR games, though I’m not uberblind either.
- Comment on My Arms Are Longer Now is a thievery game where the thief is a stretchy boneless flesh tube 2 months ago:
Hope it’ll support the Steam Deck. Looks like a great couch game.
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 2 months ago:
The science is largely figured out. Takes engineering and refinement, sure. But we know how to do these things.
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 2 months ago:
It would allow NASA to focus on science and not trivialities of moving things into orbit. Thought that was well implied.
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 2 months ago:
eh, it will probably be good thing to just commercialize space buses and leave NASA to the science.

- Comment on Eve Frontier is a survival game spin-off of Eve Online and, yup, it's full of blockchain bullshit 3 months ago:
Hard to get too much detail on it yet. But looks like you’ll be able to build market tools (probably smart contracts) and other functionality.
If any game can leverage a public blockchain properly, it’s EVE. They’ve already got market driven economies and an in-game currency. Both historically annoyingly locked behind a TOS, limited APIs, and heavy-handed control of CCP.
Their community marketing system to unlock the closed beta looks like some bullshit though. I gotta perform actions like tweeting their trailer to get tickets to get access to the beta. I’ll pass.
