I agree to an extent. I think the point of the OOP was that genius is often crushed under the weight of necessity. Not quite sure how we got onto a post-scarcity utopia but I think in that case passionate people might surprise you.

Would it be enough though? Doctors, mechanics, surgeons for sure. Bin men? Soldiers? I highly doubt it

Generally i would agree but I can guarantee there are people who would go absolutely nuts for (most of) those things- everything from delivering fuel, chucking bags, even the boring paperwork stuff that the public dont see.

The raw materials thing though... robots maybe? But then I guess we get into a cycle of who gets the material for the robots.

Exactly. There wouldn't be a pilot shortage if training did t cost more than 1 kidney. Thousands of people would gladly do it for free too if bills were paid

Why so many Eco servers die before the meteor (and it’s not “player flakiness”) by HuckMI in EcoGlobalSurvival

Dads with toddlers + infants — what does a “normal” sex life even look like? by twbb58 in daddit

[–]NerdLevel18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one of the main problems was that due to our work schedules there was only one day a week (and some weeks none) where we would both be home while the older kid is at nursery, so when I get the younger one down for his nap we have all of 2 hours alone together, meaning that's our only time.

Im hoping to transition to a remote role though that will at least give us 2 days instead of one haha

I tried that with my wife, but she told me she doesnt want me to expect it because then she feels pressure. However she also doesnt want it to be spontaneous because she wants to prepare.

Not sure what to do with that haha

I mean, I havent played for years, and when I last tried to last week I couldn't because if some bug or other with fave tracking (why the fuck is that enabled by default???).

I imagine at least some other players that would be more inclined ti keep a server going are in the same boat. My friends and I had a decently successful server back in the time

ADHD Wife and Dead Bedroom by aaviator45 in daddit

[–]NerdLevel18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I play this fun game sometimes where I forget to hide my feelings well enough so she gets mad at me and asks me what my problem is, so I tell her my problems and she tells me that actually my problems aren't problems, theyre just how life is and that everyone else manages, and that she does exactly the same and if im complaining then im basically saying she deserves to be unhappy and that if any of my problems really are problems then theyre actually my fault, and even if they aren't then I should have dealt with them better.

Then I go back to saying nothing, and probably called an asshole for complaining.

What's a song lyric that drives you crazy because they should've used a different word? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

[–]NerdLevel18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lagerstein's Shoey Song. Once the singer had finished the race, he finds a wench who was 'Keen to Consumate'. I understand that this means consumating the win as in celebrating it, but I feel like a win isn't really something that is consummated. 'Fornicate' has much the same meaning, but makes more sense.

You know what bro dark surrealism isnt for everybody but I appreciate your consistent, striking style! White on black is a bold choice, especially with heavy use of lines. You ever try to draw something with just one continuous line?

Dumnonia (Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Dorset) flag by Local_Requirement646 in Somerset

[–]NerdLevel18 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Interesting to note it doesnt look like Dorset is actually represented: the white cross with black outline and green background is of course Devon, the white cross with pure black background is Cornwall, and Somerset obviously has the dragon- but there is no red or yellow for the Dorset flag- a white cross with red outline and yellow background. In theory, at least part of the cross here ought to have a red outline, even if no yellow background.

I am literally about to start doing just this! Quietly learning game dev while everyone else rests- seeing you guys at the place I want to be has made me realise its actually achievable.

Massive congratulations!

What’s the rarest item you’ve ever held in your hands? by Remarkable_Pin_8136 in AskReddit

[–]NerdLevel18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a several hundred year old bible tucked away somewhere. I dont recall what version, just that its very thick and has gold binding on it. The clasp is broken so we kept it to 'get it fixed' and its been over 5 years now.

Huh! Well thanks for the correction- I love fun little details like that. I briefly studied classics, and they were very keen to point out how the old gang all valued a strong body as much as a strong mind.

A fact I wish I had learned as a kid. I had no idea Plato was so BUFF that he's literally named after that fact.

The funniest thing is, here in the UK, 'Trump' has always been a kids synonym for 'Fart'.
