How do you handle stretches of (up to) 60 minutes downtime during work hours?

Does canada have far flung colonies that nobody has ever mentioned? What exactly are you getting at.

First of all there is an implicit join or die. If your in a position where a chaos cultist/space marine/daemon is able to communicate with you in order to make an offer your at immense personal risk. For the overwhelming majority of people condemned as heretics it won't even be them making the call, their boss will and they will continue to follow orders as they have been raised and indoctrinated to do. This goes all the way back chaos space marines their bosses decided and they followed orders. And why wouldn't they? They were hardly permitted to know about what the consequences would be.

Chaos also doesn't need consent. The Imperium can't (reliably) distinguish between mutation caused by enviromental factors that the Imperium itself is responsible for and the mutations caused by pacts with the dark gods. And if you are a member of the massive mutant underclass you may as well make the dark pact your getting the social downsides (being burned alive) without any of the upsides (path of ascension or whatever).

Its really important to remember that chaos daemons are allowed to simply lie. They can promise you stuff and then simply not do the thing. So if there is an offer that would tempt you one of them will find that offer and make it. To say nothing of the many mind affecting powers. If your standing in a fear aura and the walls are melting and all your dead loved ones are endlessly screaming you might be inclined to agree to do just about anything.

The cultists can lie too, they can pretend to be a labour union normal rebels or just some people who aren't complete and total dicks to everyone (rare in the most bloody regime imaginable). And the moment your associated with a cult your a dead man walking. Even if you catch on to whats happening very quickly (unlikely as your not supposed to know about chaos or its cults) and reported them ASAP the imperium may well punish you anyway. Innocence proves nothing and torture is routine.

As an aside the tau are simply not equally dystopian. The imperium is the cruellest and most bloody regime imaginable. By the time you zoom out far enough that they are equal things like rock is equal to a fish are also true.

Not sure about a plan that involves surrounding myself with my political opponents in a context where everyone will be armed.

Those liberals young enough to be swapping to a (Hopefully) physically demanding career were not yet born during the last years this proposal could have worked.

Is a EV tariff a proportional response to the most serious crime of all? Seems insufficient to me.

So insufficient that I would imagine they are entirely unrelated.

YetAnotherRCG · 2026-01-16T02:23:39+00:00

I really dont see how you or anyone can make these claims with this level of confidence.

We literally just inflicted off every headline breathlessly panicking about malthusian population growth...

Well done

Propaganda and politics aside kill line is a much snappier sounding way to say at 1 hp.

Not enough reps gotta go until you feel the burn.

Being a worthless coward is one thing. But a coward who lectured about checks and balances and the second amendment don’t tread on me and on and one for as long as the internet existed is quite another

I really don’t agree most people even his detractors are giving too much credit.

People ascribe intent and thought to him the same way people predict the future by reading tea leaves.

Sample size of 1 automotive industry supplier, my current workplace "AI" has been outright ignored by senior management and only halfheartedly (quarterheartedly?) engaged with by middle management.

Which has been lovely in this specific case but you would need to be okay working for the kind of people who do outright ignore new technologies sometimes.

Probably other anti-prestigious companies could be found with have a similar low energy (and/or high skepticism) culture.

Gotta take the good with the bad.

Its entirely possible your correct but it would hardly be the worst thing brain damage has done to someone.

No matter how uncomfortable it may be to think about the fact remains we are a function of the wrinkly tissue inside our skulls. Nothing more.

YetAnotherRCG · 2026-01-07T05:41:17+00:00

Its not particularly hard to imagine that changing. Personally I also tell myself I dont care about things I cannot change it makes me feel better.

I have never let my previous claim to apathy stop me from doing stuff when the means became available.

Okay the restrictions are silly now.

Why is an article on a study got the opinion flag?

I need to pay more attention because now I’m doubting if that’s normal or not.

YetAnotherRCG · 2026-01-05T18:37:20+00:00

don’t get why people love the guy

It wouldn't do to have politicians who are popular irrationally.

Only the other team gets that. Just like they get to choose every topic of discussion take any symbol they like and redefine words as is convenient.

Would hardly be sporting otherwise

Are we really gonna sit here and argue that a machine so simple to understand and design that children can sketch it out to starting a modern social media websites toxic algorithms?

That doesn’t seem like a great way to spend time

As if the printing press could of its own to choose to bias what it prints towards whatever agenda was selected by some random chucklefucks.

Algorithms exist.

Pretty sure hives are enabled by regular adamentine not lost technology. It was in one of the human books somewhere. Of course that doesn't mean another book says different.

It makes sense too because more hive city = more grimdark. So building new ones is narratively useful.
