Automation should be a good thing. If we can have things that need to happen be done more efficiently with less work we absolutely should. But we should distribute the results of those efficiency gains fairly, which is where the current system fails.

That does not particularly clear anything up

If you time it right you can take it off them and get a few hits in while they're still stuck in slomo

I'm confident that the "I want to suck your blood" line there is a reference. It's an old misattributed quote from Bela Lugosi's appearance as Dracula.

I saw this earlier and thought it was just a niche joke about people not considering dot to dots puzzles... Took seeing it a second time to get the pun ffs

I'm afraid you might be because I have no idea what that is :D

I think there's been a shift in media here over the years. Older vampires, the formalwear "I vant to suck your blaaaad" types, often have very long teeth and leave only a couple of punctures after biting someone. It's pretty reasonable to assume these are actually drawing the blood through their teeth like little syringes.

Then as time goes on, vampires have gotten grittier and gorier. We've gone from beautiful damsels with tiny pinpricks on their necks, to staight up cannibalism. Vampires now just fuckin eat people sometimes. Somewhere in between, we did get a phase of vampires biting open the neck with a big gush of blood, and the now classic image of a vampire with blood all over their lower face. At this point it's clear they're just drinking it normally.

Maybe a lizard

I hope it has 2 pads and 2 sticks, like the deck! The only think I didn't like about the original was having to use the right pad instead of a stick.

Games should have friendly fire more often to remind everyone not to fire into a melee

I know how to write a tree traversal, but I don't need to because there's a python module that does it. This was already the case before LLMs. Now, I hardly ever need to do a tree traversal, honestly, and I don't particularly want to go to the trouble of learning how this particular python module needs me to format the input or whatever for the one time this year I've needed to do one. I'd rather just have something made for me so I can move on to my primary focus, which is not tree traversals. It's not about avoiding understanding, it's about avoiding unnecessary extra work. And I'm not talking about saving the years of work it takes to learn how to code, I'm talking about the 30 minutes of work it would take for me to learn how to use a module I might never use again. If I do, or if there's a problem I'll probably do it properly the second time, but why do it now if there's a tool that can do it for me with minimum fuss?
