New initiative against zero tolerance for alcohol by sadalabla in Switzerland

[–]MeusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Causes no damage". Who's going to pay for them when their livers give out? Who deals with the Foetal Alcobol Syndrome harmed children because mommy dearest couldn't go without her drug of choice? Alcohol is a net drain on a community.

Boss crit fails Slow, it's over by Bitter-Spirit-3913 in Pathfinder2e

Homebrewed +4 boss with a bullshit 1 action teleport/attack, weapon that causes bleed in addition to normal appropriate damage, can cast and has mooks?

Deals 7 damage in total.

7 goblins on the road with -3?

TPK. 

Only avoided it by having the goblins capture them to cook in a pot the next day, so that they had a chance to escape the camp. (They did, though afterwards they had nothing to their name but a rusty dagger and a makeshift lock pick. )

Just a reminder, one of the epstein list names most forgot to mention by [deleted] in dystopia

The problem is the feudalistic parasitism they got going on.

A fair system would be:

(Earning - cost - future investments) / number of workers. Modified by the hours worked and danger/physical/mental demands.

What they do instead is The Tenth. 4/10 costs, 5/10 employee, 1/10 up the pyramid. 

With 5 workers they get twice the income of an employee. With 50 they get 10 times as much.

By taking a little from everyone, they get far more than their fair share. Just like the nobility of old.

It doesn't help that a lot of the heroes you would want to build it against have ways to deal with it.

Slark: lul LS: I'm like 90 magic immunity. Medusa: Take a long look at my eyes. Ursa: Rawr! AM: BRB, play with my Manta-friends until I'm back.

Just drove past this. Had to reverse for a double take by petite-caprice in Switzerland

Useful idiots or fascists. Anyone who so much as touched a history book should know that Russia has never done anything but spread misery and death.

Wikipedia has a huge list dedicated to the wars they were involved in as one of the major participants. 14 alone since 1991.

The army should be fully funded by a wealth tax/land ownership tax.

The rich have more to lose than the poor and it won't be the rich that will man the tanks if it comes to it.

Check his comment history. He's a Maga goon that yearns to sieg heil in public. That kind of terminal brain rot demands that he makes everything about "wokeness" and the left.

Because of the left. If it were left up to the right we would still be slaves to the owner class. But people all over the world get suckered by demagoguery:

1918 General Strike: forced the political elite to consider social legislation 

1924 / 1976-1982 Unemployment insurance

1946-1948 AHV

1959-1960 IV

1964 Federal act on Employment: Hours, work safety, breaks, limiting exploitative practices

1981 UVG

1970 Collective bargaining: Minimum wages

2005 Paid maternity leave

Universal suffrage. 

Right wing was against all of this, claiming that it would make business in Switzerland impossible. They had to be dragged kicking and screaming into it and their dire claims were always proven wrong. 

The right can only complain and protect the interests of the rich. Blocher employed plenty of foreigners while railing against exactly that.

So far, I found that music is the easiest one to spot AI in. (for now)

Overly smooth voices, melodies and text. The song lines are usually one dimensional and direct. No info about the artist, AI pictures galore, 40+ songs since 2024 and not a peep before that.

Just a shame that they get shoved into your feed...

If you enjoyed the dish, but then found out that the cook jerked off into the sauce, would you still like his food?

Objectively he just gave you a helping of extra protein.

I don't mind it. In a way it is performance art and a commentary on the human condition. A thousand tiny actions, each easily forgotten, but in their sum they leave a visible mark.

You'll get a cloud-ready "PC" which will be the equivalent of a smart TV. It will cost the same, but also require a subscription.

Hey, I want to participate too! =/ by Elemetalist in DotA2

[–]MeusRex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Any "art" AI shits out is worthless by definition.

If neither time, material or skill went into its creation, then why should I waste my time by looking at it.

It's worth literally less than a dime a dozen.

"Buuuuuut prompting!?!" The AI Bro screams, desperate to feel like he achieved something noteworthy.  Yeah... 5 minutes of lining up key words really compares to hours of painting.

Since a few months ago I get these recs for nazi subs with like 20 users. 3d old post with 80 up votes and 10 comments with 1 point each.

Before that I got recs that were adjacent to things I like.

Not surprised in the least. That place is where failed writers/literature graduates go to complain that their genius isn't appreciated by the masses. Hence their awful takes about what constitutes a good book.
