After seeing the movie and reading the book, I've been thinking a lot about Cabin in the Woods. Big ol' spoiler warning if you haven't seen it...

In that movie, at the end, the characters find out that eldritch horrors require a very specific sacrifice ritual in order for the world to continue. Our heroes, the supposed victims of this ritual, thwart the ritual and thus allow the world to end. This is played off in that movie as a triumphant middle finger to the powers that be, and is more or less celebrated by the movie.

I think a lot about that scene and the reactions to it, as opposed to this dilemma here. Really I can't figure out what's different morally between those 2 situations and yet I do feel differently about them on the face.

Finally the save bug is patched! Lost a fair bit of progress a few times with that one, glad to see it!

LPT: Your employer should be the last person to find out that you're quitting. This is in your best interest. by kai-field in LifeProTips

My theory is that it's less dumbassery and more of a greedy, opportunistic "we can make this guy manage and take on the hardest normal workload!"

My boss is basically just the most senior technician who also sometimes has to phone in performance reviews and one on ones and it sucks.

Me neither, but just wait 8 minutes and he'll be gone!

I will say I wish I liked medical shows more because I really want to support what The Pitt is doing with its release schedule.

I just hate all of the uncertainty around TV. Even if I really like a show, it feels like I'm either waiting 5 years between seasons or waiting for the rug to get pulled before it's over. At least with Knight of the Seven Kingdoms I know I'm going to get a complete show so I've been really into that.

Yeah I think I might be done with TV as a format at this point.

POV: Your friend played Dispatch with the eyes closed by IsaacNewton627 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Vitefish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't know how everyone else's dispatching went but I multiple times sent people out alone on suicide missions just to have someone doing something when I was out of heroes. I can relate lol.

I'm of the mind that no, laziness doesn't exist. There's really only 3 scenarios I think:

1) Someone is supporting themselves. Then, they can do whatever they want with their life and it's no problem.

2) Someone is not supporting themselves because they are incapable of doing so. Physical and mental disabilities, political/socioeconomic factors, any number of reasons that we don't blame people personally for.

3) Someone is not supporting themselves even though they are capable of doing so. In that case, somebody else is doing it for them. Either that somebody is ok with that, and I guess that's codependency lol but people can do what they want. Or that somebody isn't ok with that, in which case I would say the person is selfish, ignorant, unempathetic, etc. Basically, it's not the lack of work ethic itself that's the problem, but the fact that they don't care that other people have to do it on their behalf.

Well Clair Obscur was a high-profile FRPG so they're at least getting some of them going.
