Return to office mandates should be climate crimes and the people responsible should be punished appropriately. I want to see these CEO ghouls and souless VPs on the side of the road picking up trash for the rest of their damned lives.
They just want their team to win, even if it means they personally suffer.
Have you considered a book club? Locally or on Lemmy. That might be nice, though I’m not sure how to level it up from “we’re reading this” to include “and we did some critical analysis”. Also online is more vulnerable to slop, even though I don’t understand why someone would use AI to think for them in an exercise that’s entirely about thinking.
A friend of mine had a book club and was reading a book a month, but then the ring leader had a kid and it’s on hiatus.
It’s just a tribal thing for a lot of people. They’d die personally if it means the out-group suffers more.
In a 2019 interview, Goodman responded to criticisms of three cueing, saying that “word recognition is a preoccupation” and emphasizing that he places greater value on making sense of language as a whole than understanding specific words. In response to the example of children failing to distinguish between “pony” and “horse”, Goodman argued that it was irrelevant whether children understood the specific word, as “pony” and “horse” are similar concepts, and a reader failing to distinguish between them would still understand the meaning of the story as a whole.
Absolute nightmare
Some sort of online community for people to practice reading, especially critically so they practice skills like recognizing subtext, irony, themes, etc, could probably be cool
Unfortunately, the people on a text based platform like Lemmy probably have better than average reading skills. The people who need more help probably stick to video.
Also there’s a surprising amount of anti-intellectualism, sometimes, where people say things like “it’s just a story it doesn’t have any deeper meaning!”. Fundamental misunderstanding of how meaning works. (You don’t find the correct answer. You make up an answer and justify it with the text.)
Conservatives tend to be some mix of stupid, cruel, and willfully ignorant. You have to be or the worldview falls apart.
Glad I upgraded mine before all this shit started. Barring disaster it should play games for years. I don’t need all the bells and whistles.
That was what the AI lovers promised. Use AI to hire fewer people. This is not surprising, except in that maybe it’s unexpected the companies using AI didn’t fail yet.
This is an important point. There’s a big difference between guys with guns telling you what you can say, and a local get-together. Sometimes people act like they should be able to say whatever they want wherever they want, even if they’re like standing in someone else’s house
They have poor media literacy and reasoning skills. If they were smart and empathetic, they probably wouldn’t be hateful.
I really would like people to think more about that.
If you produce more valuable stuff and get paid the same, you’re getting a bad deal. It’s delusional to think the owners are going to pass those profits on to the workers in any meaningful way.
First, the security concerns here are massive.
Second, they really think we’re stupid. That we’re all so incompetent that we can’t manage our finances or write an email without help. That really says a lot about CEOs and the other people pushing for this slop.
I use keepassxc. It does the job.
Probably get more return on resources investing in therapy to address phobias, in that case.
That doesn’t sound much different than a traditional vaccine, unless you can self administer it
Oh, hard to pick! Maria was a good fight. I finished it by parrying her with the pistol, and then missed the critical attack so I just bonked her and she fell over. Still counts!
Moon presence was also pretty cool, and felt like it was a few tweaks from being Really Hard. It does that move where your health goes down to 1 and you have to rally it all back! Luckily for me the axe is good for rallying, and the boss is very generous about waiting for you. Elden Ring feels like it wouldn’t have given such a long recovery opening!
I finished it and the dlc! The orphan was tricky. I don’t think anything took more than five tries though. Hunter’s axe is MVP.
Definitely a good game. Interesting setting.
Tried a bit of a new game with the cane sword and it’s way less solid.
Unfortunately there is a large contingent of people who would literally rather die than have their out-group have something nice like public transit. (It’s conservative whites)
I started reading “dying of whiteness” and it’s infuriating
