Taking the blame for capitalists, huh. We didn't export shit, it was the greedy companies chasing profit.

Why do you think they are talking about you? Projecting insecurities? That's what your reply seems like

And yes, "male" is still the preferred way to refer to.. people who identify as men.

Please show me on the map where I can take my future family and farm the land on my theoretical meager wealth.

There is none.

We don't live in a world where the average human can farm their own food meaningfully anymore. Not at scale at least. The lands been bought, built on, or industrialized for large scale crop harvest.

What you are proposing doesn't work in most places on this planet anymore.

Definitely agree about harvest crafting and ritual league being peak Poe gameplay, but I'd argue we are at a great point now where we have some of the power of harvest without the complete crafting meta warping capabilities.

There's a reasonable path forward, across multiple crafting currencies, for most pre- mirror tier crafts these days that anyone could follow. I know that I've done more than a handful the last few leagues.

The build meta was definitely a little stale from mid 2022-mid 2023, but this league there is great diversity. Suggesting that the meta is still seismic trap heavy tells to me you havent really checked in recently - no one's using that anymore.

I've got 6k hours in and felt really bad during kalandra, archnem, and similar recent leagues but I think the game is fun right now :)

Eh path of exile is in the best state it's been for a while. Game is really fun at the moment.

It's certainly had other times when it was really good and a lot of times when it was less good, but now is great.

Get some more iron in your diet. If you feel compelled to chew ice, you may have anemia

So you are suggesting that a student looking up information on Wikipedia is the same level of academic dishonesty as someone turning in a paper written by chatgpt?

What the fuck?

I don't believe the world is as zero sum as you are postulating. I truly don't believe if ai were to be objectively better at creative pursuits that humans wouldn't do them.

I think you are removing the agency that people have because you are associating it to economic output. I disagree with that premise and I don't think that it's rational to suggest that humans only pursue things because it produces value.

Pretty sure the person who said they are getting 2fa emails was meaning that they are getting email alerts from Microsoft that says "we blocked these logins. Were they you?"

Some service providers do this when they see large attempts to access accounts fail due to 2fa blocks.

By homepage I was referring to the main screen that Spotify loads into, the default view of all your playlists, recommended lists, etc.

And I expect all the same things you expect for my regular browsing behavior. But on the music discovery and listening platform I don't get pissy when new music is shown to me, even if it's unrelated to my tastes.

[–] beetus 6 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I expect "ads" for new music on the music listening and discovery platform.

Y'all are making it seem like these are nordvpn ads on your homepage. Fuck off with this disingenuous comparison

Here's a version of it from Andy Weir. I don't know if he is the progenitor of this idea but his take is great
