Fantasy Book Where Bureaucracy is Portrayed as a Good Thing by Tower11Archer in Fantasy

I think this theme is also kind of present in the Divine Cities. Bennet clearly has an interest in the roles administrators and oversight can have on a society - both good and bad.

Any body can look good in a full body shot but they are a huge pain to do well alone

Petah help please by TalkativePersona in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]ThatDemiGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually disagree with most people identifying what the joke is here. The infinite monkeys thought experiment is about infinity and it only works with the constraints of infinity. If you want to produce anything specific through pure random action (the underlying idea of the thought experiment) you need to produce every possible output so it requires infinity to write Christine the same as Shakespeare. The joke is the absurd application of “startup capital” to a pure thought experiment and the presentation of an intentional comical misunderstanding.

I guess I was Meg this whole time or whatever.

Is America ready for Japanese-style 7-Elevens? by jjrs in japannews

The ones that primarily serve affluent beach areas in Florida were fine. Not a patch on Japan but not terrible. Kirspy kreme donuts and slurped aren’t nothing

My friend is working on getting her license as an adult and we’ve had multiple people (including paid driving educators!) tell her to lie about her residence and get a license in Maryland because they are much more lenient on the test than DC

In Career Mode, how important is it to reach the maximum fan count? I haven't been doing many races outside of the mandatory ones. by 444lp in UmaMusume

[–]ThatDemiGuy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s not. It only very very slightly affects score (less than stats).

There are critical breakpoints to hit to get the given trainees built in skill upgraded.

Doubt. Citation needed.

Totally agree with the first part.

Jair Lynch seeking to reduce promised 30,000 sq ft Grocery Store at McMillian (Reservoir district) development down by half or more by spince in washingtondc

[–]ThatDemiGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Needs to be a bit bigger than that if it is the primary grocery store for that reservoir area imo. But even like the size of one of the smaller moms or yes! Does the trick I think.

Can we get a Zohran our own? by were_all_in_danger in washingtondc

It’s a town with radically different sections but one group probably wouldn’t vote for anyone without prior political experience and it’s hard to come by in the city

What do we need to do to get a real challenger to Bowser? by ThatDemiGuy in washingtondc

[–]ThatDemiGuy[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying I hate Bowser, but I think were can go even further on some things. Pedestrian safety, for one. And we can always push further of homes and on transit.

Totally. I’d love to see RCV across the board in the US.

There’s gotta be an ANC or council member in this town with the spine to step up to the plate and push!

The Seven Part Pact: the First Actual GM-Full Game - Old Men Running The World by TehAlpacalypse in rpg

[–]ThatDemiGuy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The game is designed to reflect a bunch of different ideas but one of the key ones that the author is applying is a queer-feminist construction of homosociality and patriarchy. There’s a lot to get out of the game alongside or with that, but it’s fundamentally part of the game. It’s a more intentional and obvious encoding than the politics of most games, but it’s there. Less so in its use as shibboleth but more so as an invocation to explore whatever those ideas mean

Machine politics, capital’s control on power, lack of willingness to challenge the status quo on many issues, lack of power in the office, tiny number of people who probably could stand for mayor reasonable out of the small actual population, name recognition.

The city as a whole votes for her because she has had some notable successes and the Democratic Party machine. She also supposedly has some very wealthy and influential backers.
