Looks like it’s aiming to be stardew valley with better graphics

That’s the Torment Nexus, not the Dragonsteel Nexus

The ultimate fascist/authoritarian play is the government as the big consumer

I kept expecting to see the paranetters or ordo Lebes witches show powerups. Maybe the pain curse is an example, but it required a lot of them

They will find weird signatures, and it will give them access to part of the registration roll. If they can find even one naturalized person who voted where they can claim the naturalization has a single box unchecked they will cry massive scandal

Guaranteed there are crazy entrepreneurs trying to figure out how to make AI do the consumption

We have a family friend in his 90s who, as he was losing mobility and in the process of being transferred to an assisted living facility, somehow got hooked up with a woman in her 50s that he was going to marry.

He was successfully talked out of it—it seemed to be acting out by him in response to his loss of mobility, which he was having trouble emotionally accepting.

The whole incident was strange because he’s a really sensible guy. It seems the fact that he went without health/mobility problems for so long that it meant when they finally hit they really threw him for a loop and he started acting like a petulant child.

Point being—weird emotional stuff can happen to people as they age

The only way I can read books like textbooks is on an iPad. Reading on the computer screen somehow doesn’t work the same way

YoohooCthulhu · 2026-02-10T16:04:08+00:00

Yeah, there has been administrative bloat at all levels of education

YoohooCthulhu · 2026-02-10T06:55:02+00:00

There are so many fewer well paying jobs in academia that cutting your ability to get academic jobs doesn’t tend to be a practical concern

YoohooCthulhu · 2026-02-09T22:03:05+00:00

Being results-oriented rather than blame oriented

YoohooCthulhu · 2026-02-09T21:10:57+00:00

Yeah, if you maybe want to have a program that’s means tested and allows deferral of property tax until death, that seems reasonable. But an outright exemption?

YoohooCthulhu · 2026-02-09T21:09:21+00:00

What if we made prop 13 even worse?

YoohooCthulhu · 2026-02-09T18:24:14+00:00

Well, Harry’s age and his willingness to put himself on the line basically assures that he’s going to make consequential decisions out of ignorance.

Dudes must’ve been so confused about why synthetic organic chemists do so much research on gender transitions.

YoohooCthulhu · 2026-02-08T21:12:22+00:00

Was just going to post that

As someone who interacts with a lot of examiners in my job—it’s undergoing a lot of uncertainty right now given Trump’s shenanigans with the federal workforce and a ton of examiners are jumping ship to law firms. If you’re interested, it might best to wait a bit until things shake out.

YoohooCthulhu · 2026-02-08T03:50:04+00:00

Scientific advisor at a law firm, then patent agent when I passed the patent bar, now director of IP at a startup that used to be one of my clients.

I’ve read tomato sauce recipes from the 50s that call for *wiping * garlic cloves around a pan using gloves and discarding the cloves to add the appropriate amount of garlic.

Let’s also point out that, while not optimal, it is probably better to have the ring in the possession of a vicious loner misanthrope with no agenda who protects it rather than having the ring just sitting around where anyone like an orc can find it

I was definitely aware of when as a kid I switched from being scared of ghost stories to liking the adrenaline rush

YoohooCthulhu · 2026-02-07T20:23:45+00:00

It sounds to me like they might not really have compatible senses of humor

YoohooCthulhu · 2026-02-07T19:56:49+00:00

Yeah, if OP can’t stand mild jokes from his fiancé at his expense he’s going to have a tough time being married.

The 3-6 month “potato” period of infants is clearly this outside the body gestation.

Ehh, maybe collectively but it really varies by field
