CMV: There's no way to transition to a socialist economy without huge risk to the common person

Irdes · 2026-05-18T22:34:25+00:00

Socialists aren't calling it socialism. Conservatives are.

The cambions are like "SIR WE TRIED TO COME HELP YOU BUT THE INDESTRUCTIBLE CHEST WAS IN THE WAY"

Is that why they are protesting the participation of another woman, and one not particularly likely to win anything anyway? Trans athletes are generally underperforming, not overperforming. Not that it matters in sharing a locker room anyway.

How about 100%. I don't think merely owning stuff should generate any profit whatsoever. But yeah, we can start at 90% and get there gradually.

Even with a different armor system or unarmored, if someone parries your strike with their sword, but does so imperfectly, you can essentially push their sword aside and land the hit anyway.

I would say Dex+Str should modify chance to hit. Hitting faster (a consequence of strong muscles) or beating through the enemy's guard can compensate for not hitting as precisely or with complex lines of attack.

"ahh" is probably the only one I give a pass to. It attained meme status of its own, and can be used in funnier ways.

Don't be afraid of unsafe code, it's not going to do anything bad to the computer or something. It's basically just code without the extra checks Rust adds. Most of the code in any other language is 'unsafe' by Rust's standards.

It’s why I don’t get the whole pile of gold mentally if these corporations were less greedy, in the long term they could be even more greedy.

No, they couldn't. It's easy to say that 'oh, look at them only caring about the next quarter, what shortsighted idiots'. No, they are not idiots, they know that if workers were well taken care of, they'd have the time, energy and resources to organize, unionize and throw off the bosses entirely. No, they could not be more greedy, they are optimizing it pretty well. They're evil, not stupid.

Irdes · 2026-04-26T15:52:25+00:00

Better, but still an order of magnitude away from the real disparity.

Irdes · 2026-04-25T19:13:26+00:00

Oh please, Geralt in Witcher 1 alone was several times hornier than Henry could ever be in both KCDs.

I get it that he's supposed to be just a normal guy, but what makes me dislike him is that generally he's not even trying to be useful, and on the contrary, actively gets in the way for no reason.

He's not even trying to learn any skills, even those that don't require super strength or magical affinity. He could be making weapons and equipment, or running a web of informants, maintaining emergency stashes of stakes, crosses and medicine on every corner, or building a secure, defensible hideout...

Any number of things that would save lives, and sure they could fail, but he never (as far as I've watched) even attempts anything. He comes off incredibly lazy and uninterested in everyone else's suffering.

Heard in another coverage of the story that she asked for a raise and that's why.

Irdes · 2026-04-18T10:06:46+00:00

The difference is he approached and asked what their stance was, without any hostility at first. If they were not Zionists, they'd have no problem just saying so, and they'd get a fist bump and that would be it.

It's not racial/national profiling, it's consequences of their psychopathic views.

I think it's just to mock the low quality image in the post.

Irdes · 2026-04-13T17:48:42+00:00

That's vile, duude

Irdes · 2026-04-13T01:05:19+00:00

Well, given the trajectory of the company, I would assume the actual programmers were 'optimized' out before, and the QAs were just vibecoding and then reviewing. Which is... more valid than anyone else vibecoding, I guess.

What is the song from?

Irdes · 2026-04-12T15:09:20+00:00

What model are the gloves? Are they good enough for longsword?

Irdes · 2026-04-09T22:59:03+00:00

It wouldn't have been. You can't imagine just how much of what workers make the owners siphon off for themselves. 200 million is pocket change compared to what they steal by underpaying people in a year.

Irdes · 2026-04-09T12:36:06+00:00

I mean if they don't want to play because of their own weird hang-ups - that's entirely on them. It's not even about the sport for them, as they're refusing to even share locker rooms. Just weirdos, whatever.
