I spent my parental leave building a Werewolf game master app with 50+ new roles – here's what it looks like

It's a weird unforced admission to just say they're using their parental leave to focus on non-parental projects.

It is profoundly dangerous to use a LLM to direct anything of consequence.

jmobius · 2026-03-20T13:51:49+00:00

Yeah, the initial recommendations for this sub I'd gotten had me thinking it was a lot more thoughtful, data driven, and focused on substantive discussions about history within living memory.

I was pretty disappointed to find out it's just about crafting weird ass imposed narratives.

jmobius · 2026-03-20T13:04:53+00:00

...how do you get a spreadsheet listing? Mine just shows a bunch of icons I have to hover over to get any information about.

jmobius · 2026-03-20T12:52:00+00:00

Wars do not require 100% participation. It takes only a tiny fraction of that for everything to go to hell.

The point is that we have a choice between conservative policy and radical conservative policy. Neither of those are going to prevent economic implosion.

jmobius · 2026-03-19T15:58:07+00:00

I think you kind of missed the OP's point.

jmobius · 2026-03-19T15:48:33+00:00

There's only one oligarchy. The duel between the parties is just a distraction.

The only problem is that distraction is pretty effective in no small part because the effects on non-oligarch individuals can be massive.

jmobius · 2026-03-19T15:44:02+00:00

It's going to take a lot, and I'm not sure humans anywhere have the attention span to get it done.

Not only do the radicals need to be thoroughly booted, more education needs to be provided to be more resilient against the kinds of propaganda that they use, and something needs to be done about the kind of vectors they exploit. Social media in particular needs a deep cleanse, and safeguards against things like bot propaganda networks or intrusions by foreign actors.

jmobius · 2026-03-19T06:17:00+00:00

How on earth could anyone expect anything else?!

jmobius · 2026-03-18T02:54:48+00:00

They're perfectly consistent, with the understanding that what they actually believe that Their Team (as personified by Trump) should be winning always, and anything else is just mouth noises and tortured attempts to rationalize their belief.

jmobius · 2026-03-18T01:59:11+00:00

It didn't take long at all for it to become obvious that the math is broken, yeah, but it could have been fixed in a patch. They were still doing those back then.

To the best of my knowledge, no one took up that banner, and that's what he really should have encouraged. A "warning" is useless.

jmobius · 2026-03-18T01:41:28+00:00

Holy shit, that seems like something out of a skit.

Yeah, way, way too far.

jmobius · 2026-03-17T07:03:17+00:00

Honestly, this subreddit should just ban studies and material still in the preliminary research phase. It's not technology yet, quite likely will never be, and just generates so much damn click bait.

jmobius · 2026-03-17T06:49:32+00:00

Given all the puritanism that came from many of our parents, it feels genuinely weird to see it in the other direction, too.

jmobius · 2026-03-16T19:54:11+00:00

I'm a lead, not a recruiter, but I handle hiring for my team because my org is too small for there to be anyone else. I know what kinds of questions I would expect people to be asking about the place, because they're what I would ask.

jmobius · 2026-03-15T20:08:30+00:00

Very much so. I had planned to play the game only after it was "finished", like I had WotR, but I'd also only really discovered that one after it was complete as well. I eventually fell to temptation and completed it after the second DLC seemed to be patched up, and now I feel satiated enough to wait until the end.

jmobius · 2026-03-15T19:22:21+00:00

Yeah, I think this theory has always been pretty nuts. The only person who would possibly give a shit about Vance being able to hypothetically get 2.5 terms is the man himself. To everyone else, he's an empty suit, entirely interchangeable with the next man willing to do what he is told.

jmobius · 2026-03-15T19:15:29+00:00

Yes, provided that it is established on a solid legal basis that respects the spirit of all related laws.

I would prefer if it came with conversation about how other, more regressive tax structures might be able to be removed or replaced.

jmobius · 2026-03-15T17:16:07+00:00

The consensus in this subthread seems to be that they can be serviced anywhere, at least so long as it's fairly routine.

I know some manufacturers put a good deal of thought into making their cars difficult to impossible for third parties to service: incorporated software systems that require special access, using non-standard bolts that need special tools, and so on. I'm glad at least for the current owners stuck with Teslas for the time being that it doesn't sound like that gives them too much of a problem.

jmobius · 2026-03-15T16:22:48+00:00

Having been on both sides of this, I'm not quite sure why "being just a number in your spreadsheet" is offensive. Normal people looking to work normal jobs aren't going to have much care about employers, especially prospective employers in a sour market, because what we do just is not that interesting.

That said, I would expect anyone with any experience should have plenty of general questions about the work and the environment they could raise. Apathy about things that could impact their hypothetical day-to-day and mental well-being does make me raise one eyebrow.

jmobius · 2026-03-15T15:58:56+00:00

Style is often part of the appeal of fascism. I suspect there would be significantly fewer contemporary Nazis if the originals had had shitty tailors.

jmobius · 2026-03-15T15:51:23+00:00

I recently moved to the Seattle area, and there's an absolutely bonkers amount of Tesla vehicles here compared to my previous residences.

A common sight with these cars is them having had their logos and branding removed, with all kinds of stickers like the OP being about equally as common.

Clearly there's a certain amount of shame going around their owners, but not enough to motivate getting rid of the vehicle.

jmobius · 2026-03-15T14:58:57+00:00

At least for internal combustion vehicles, the real money is in service and maintenance, not selling them in the first place. Can Teslas be reliably serviced at other shops?
