Is it an old person thing that I listen to entire albums instead of shuffling tracks?

Is the driver going to go away for attempted murder? Lose their license? Anything?

Not sure what the clichés about Fate are. I think it's a fun light system.

Also there are dozens of us who prefer vampire: the requiem over masquerade. Dozens! I recently started a game of it. So far they killed 3 CEOs and blew up a data center (in the game).

It's been fun seeing the DND player adapt to "wait I can just do my cool thing as much as I want?". Like he was going to punch a dude and I was like "are you sure you don't want to just Mesmerize him? It's free and more likely to work, given your stats"

People making the decisions are removed from how work gets done, how users engage with the product, and any real consequences. But they keep most the profits despite contributing minimally.

Capitalism. The people calling the shots and keeping the profits are not the people doing the work.

It's bad and will continue to be bad for everyone except the top layer of rich people.

When I was in elementary school, a teacher said like "I haven't had a drink in 5 years" and I said "Wouldn't you, like, die?"

I don't know if he thought I was fucking with him, or my parents told me not drinking booze was lethal, or what, but he didn't like laugh and clarify what he meant.

I think most people are so disorganized in their thinking, they can't "prompt" well. There's a lot of unclarified assumptions and leaps in how many people communicate

I have a game of ttrpg Vampire the requiem and one of the guys insists on saying variations of "I'm going to suck that guy" straight faced (heh).

One time I couldn't figure out how to do something in this old game I was replaying. Typed in the problem, and found an old forum post of mine where I explained what to do in that section. At least I didn't do a classic "nevermind - solved it" post back then.

Legitimately aggravating. Well done.

This one maybe ? https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/

Right? But it was so ... Short sighted, to think it would last forever and you'd never need to organize.
