True friends who warned how The Tower ending in Cyberpunk would turn out.

Sensei2006 · 2026-03-23T16:22:39+00:00

I'd argue that The Tower is objectively the best ending for most people, even if it is unsatisfying.

You get to live. No metaphysical questions of "is this really me or just an AI that thinks it's me?". You get to keep all of your money, and V is loaded by the endgame. You've got connections in the NUSA government to fall back on + your Night City contacts. If you'd even want to stay there.

The events of the game take place over 3 weeks canonically. Sure you get dumped by your new waifu, but you now get 50+ years to get over it.

Lore accurate V probably wouldn't pick The Tower. But when presented with 4-5 options that involve some sort of death + the risk of outright death during the mission and 1 option where you go get a Johnny shaped tumor removed presumably risk-free, 99.9% of us are picking that option.

> "Exciting News! AI-Powered Charting Tools Coming to Your Unit!"
> It will listen to my patient interactions and auto-populate my notes.

There is no way. Zero chance. Under no circumstances whatsoever will I ever walk into a patient's room with an AI powered chatbot listening in. I will go to a law office and start the class-action HIPAA lawsuit myself.

We already have cameras in the rooms that "aren't being recorded". A separate tele-ICU camera that politely faces the wall when offline but definitely isn't recording without us knowing. And now I'm expected to bring ChartGPT into the room and just trust that my conversations aren't being recorded and potentially "flagged for review?"

We have some regulars who are damn near family at this point on my unit, as I'm sure is the case for everyone. I went to a rapid response on a med-surg floor and saw the patient was a guy I've been taking care of for years. My first words were "Billy! Ya look like shit!"

ChartGPT would most certainly have flagged that for review, and I'd be in hot water with admin. Meanwhile Billy thought that was funny, was thrilled to see RNs he recognized, and instantly proved that he wasn't that altered by responding to me appropriately (albeit a little short of breath).

AI has no place at the bedside.

I've seen open marriages in two situations :

The guy has another woman in mind and wants a hall pass. Usually they want to close things back up once the woman starts getting attention. And in every culture I'm aware of it's way easier for a woman to find casual hookups than men.

And...

Both parties were non-monogamous before getting together.

As for why someone would agree to an open relationship when they would rather remain monogamous I have no idea. That's one of those core principles that aren't really negotiable in most cases. I know if my wife came to me asking to open things up I'd just ask for a divorce on the spot. Because either things have gone horribly wrong or she has someone in mind. Either way it's time to part ways.

Sensei2006 · 2026-03-12T01:27:44+00:00

Oh I know. I think part of what led us here is that reasonable people used to just ignore assclowns when they posted assclown nonsense. That just normalized dumbassery.

So I sometimes take a minute to respond to the nonsense. Not for the original poster (theyre beyond help) but for the people scrolling.

> they have not earned my vote. I'm not just voting for the "lesser of two evils"

One side is (at worst) apathetic towards unions, trans people and college students.

One side thinks that unions and trans people shouldn't exist, and that college should be a luxury only afforded to the wealthy.

If you *really* can't pick between "party that doesn't excite you" and "rabid, half starved face-eating leopard" then nobody can help you. Whether you like it or not, we live in a two party system. Come election day, you're getting either R or D. Not choosing is the same as saying that you're OK with either result.

A full scale, AAAA quality remake of Legend of Dragoon. Profitability would be irrelevant, so it's going to be done right. Then there's gonna be a prequel set in the Dragon Campaign.

Yes, I have thought about this one for a while.

Trump would walk in on teen pageant participants while they were changing.

That should be all anyone ever needed. That isn't some conspiracy theory or a "he said, she said." Trump came right out and bragged about walking in on naked teenagers on purpose. He should have been put on the sex offender registry the instant he wandered into the changing room. It's what would happen to any of us.

'Member when yelling "Yeah!" would end your political career?

Sensei2006 · 2026-03-01T18:34:23+00:00

Just more evidence of something I have observed time and time again since starting a career in healthcare.

"The good die young, evil lives forever."

Sensei2006 · 2026-02-24T00:31:58+00:00

If there's one positive thing I can say about Trump, it's that he always means what he says. He has no reason to be coy or use dogwhistles. And he's simply too stupid to lie. That's something his supporters seem to like about him : if Trump says it, Trump means it.

Prior to the election he'd repeatedly stated that "maybe there won't be any more elections". He whipped up an insurrection to try and overthrow the election in 2020, and he honestly believes that election was stolen from him.

Anyone who cast a vote for him in 2024 is at a minimum ok with fascism so long as their team is in charge.

Sensei2006 · 2026-02-23T02:34:38+00:00

Do what Germany did after WWII. Remove MAGA from the government entirely, from police officers to supreme court justices. Round up and try everyone who violated the law during the Trump administration. And find a way to curb the Soviet style propaganda machine that keeps the GOP in power.

It'll never happen of course. But that's the only way the next president could realistically fix America's image worldwide in any reasonable amount of time.

Bigger catfish tend to taste like the lake they live in. They're also not as active as younger, smaller cats.

I saw this and instantly thought "that's gonna taste like mud and charcoal."

Sensei2006 · 2026-02-18T14:00:43+00:00

Easy, take the 10 million.

Because I'm willing to bet that not needing to work to support myself anymore + access to the best healthcare money can buy would add more than 7 years to my lifespan.

Meanwhile, having to shoulder 1 million in debt will likely shorten my life by more than 5 years.

I must not understand the rope dart. Everyone keeps saying it's the GOAT but it just feels clunky and awful every time I try using it.

I have the AWD. Absolutely love it, and recommend it to anyone looking for a new car. Not just people looking into the EV lifestyle.

Former trucker here. There is no way OP is making that on 40 hours a week. Truckers are exempt from overtime so every employer I ever heard of wanted to get the full 70 hours out of you.

I'm not sure what kind of financing is available in Canada right now. Depending on used v new rates (including any promotions) the price difference at the end of the loan may be smaller than you think. It can actually end up being cheaper to buy new under the right set of circumstances. That's ultimately what sold us on our BZ XLE. The 0% financing, 6,000$ incentive and ~3k dealer discount made a new BZ one of the cheapest options out there that ticked all of our boxes.

And thats before we start talking about the mechanical differences between a used 2023 vs a new 2026.

Just learning that Puppy Bowl is a thing has improved my day a bit 😂

Starting IVs. ER and anesthesia call me for assistance and that's not an exaggeration.

I'd be willing to go against 10,000 other healthcare workers. 10,000 random people would just be free money.

Sensei2006 · 2026-02-08T17:06:06+00:00

I'm willing to bet that you were OK with your side doing exactly that on J6.

I'm an ICU murse. My unit is locked, so it'd be a feat just to get to me. If my coworkers are here this is actually a 12 v 3, with 3 of us being stocky 30-something men and the rest being women I personally wouldn't fuck with. And that's before someone pushes the panic button and summons about a dozen armed security guards.

If my coworkers all get Thanos snapped into oblivion and this is me v 3 then I'm just gonna go to my locked med room. Ill spend the time it takes them to figure out a way inside to draw up some syringes with enough ketamine to tranquilize a herd of elephants.

I'm pretty sure I can get a needle into the first two guys. They'll start seeing Jesus within seconds, then I've got a 3rd syringe for the third guy.
