I’m being like Charlie Kirk with my empathy for Charlie Kirk.

If you can’t tell the difference between someone who says “empathy is bad and no one should have it” and someone who says “I don’t have empathy for this specific person due to their specific actions” then you should not be trying to argue nuance of definitions with anyone.

It would appear that English speaking really want to shift what nazi means, rather than have zionism be its own term with similar meaning.
It would appear that you really want to shift the conversation to the exact definition of the word “Nazi”, rather than have people talk about facists and the problems there of.

it’s not a limited resource that needs to be spend sparcely.
People’s empathy absolutely can get exhausted.
That’s why, for example, I am pissed about the situation in Gaza but I am capable of going to work instead of spending every day sobbing on my couch.

He made it very clear he excluded himself from that collective.

while the progressives and liberals are supposed to care about all people supposedly.
This is like saying “so much for tolerance” when progressives don’t tolerate intolerance. It’s a social contract: if you are intolerant of others you don’t get the benefit of tolerance extended to you.
If you are unsympathetic towards others then you don’t get the benefit of sympathy.

Apparently I shouldn’t. But if there’s a list of soulslike games that do it, and a list of soulslike games that don’t, then it is not in fact true for the genre and is instead true for specific games.

Also, “hive”.

I loved Ender’s Lilies and it had save points outside the boss rooms. I do not believe the game would have been more iconic if I had to run through several rooms of enemies before fighting a boss again.
The joy of victory came from overcoming a difficult fight, not from avoiding a tedious repeat. - Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 1 week ago:
You’re pointing a finger at the Soulslike genre here, not only HK
I played some Elden Ring and as I recall there were check points next to the bosses.
Ender’s Lilies is a metroidvania listed as a soulslike and always has a check point next to the boss room (highly recommend it btw).

If they want a fancy casket and a large service maybe. It is rare to have a contract that large. Usually it’s in the $3000 - $5000 range, but anything covered by the government is less than $1500. (We also don’t have the cheapest prices in town)

Not everyone is eligible, but if the family has no money to pay for it the government pays for basic services. If the family has funds available they have to pay but I believe they get reimbursed for some amount.

Anyone using a phone hates clankers.
There’s one automated system I need to call regularly at work that does not give me the option of dialing numbers and forces me to speak to it. It lists the options it can understand, but I can’t just press a number to move on. Then it asks me to say and spell my first name, then say my last name (which it guesses the spelling of incorrectly) and pretends to type while it’s processing. Why are we doing this?

Funeral Homes hate the Government.
They are incredibly rude to the families receiving financial assistance, it takes 3 months for them to pay us, and did you know that if you don’t have a will they cut your step-children out of the process entirely?
We had one gentleman in our care whose only living family was his step-daughter. Because there were no blood relatives and no will the Public Guardian took control of his disposition and the step-daughter had no say in anything that happened with him. Wasn’t allowed to keep a portion of the ashes, the Funeral Director had to fight just to allow the step-daughter a brief final visitation.
This is also true for children under 18. Your 17 year old child has no say in your disposition if you have no other living relatives.
Have a will people, if for no other reason than to allow your loved ones to decide how they will grieve rather than some indifferent bureaucrat.

Todays computer illiterate workforce is doomed to be incompetent because they don’t understand how their main tool works. Nobody bothered to train them.
There also so many things restricting the usage of the tool. Every week my scanner tells me it has a new software update and I cannot install a simple update without admin access, so I have to call help desk and have them remote into my computer so they can click the “ok” botton.
Everything is so walled off there’s no reason to learn how any of it works because you have no access. When the security bios update (forget what it was called) fucked everyone’s computers last year I found a fix online and could have easily went to several locations and got them up and running, but no one on site has the access to boot into safe mode and instead we all just sat on hold with help desk for 2 days waiting for IT to do the thing I already knew how to do.

The company that I work for has an employee only website that posts about changes to our software and employee engagement stuff. Employees can post comments on things but it’s always just a handful of pointless platitudes (“Thanks for the information!”)
