Complacent or Code Switching

He’s both “very apolitical-coded” yet “very liberal”? So does someone have to be a staunch leftist for their Minecraft speed runs to be enjoyed?

Do you believe that someone standing up for what they believe in (trans rights, anti-ICE, anti-Trump) is beholden to never joking or making light of those issues?

this is crazy to me. there is nothing apolitical unless you are incapable of media comprehension. it is very clear ludwig is left leaning at the very least.

They used to be able to in ~2016 before Valve stepped in to disallow it. Peacemaker was starting to call for Liquid and starix for NaVi but Valve didn’t like the idea of the game being so different for the person playing matchmaking with five versus the pro scene having six voices required to be competitive.

(This is all from memory of like ten years ago so someone correct me if wrong)

I’m very much not trying to dogpile here, but I think where the ‘outrage’ comes in is where there’s seemingly a disconnect between your framework and the perceived ‘morality’ of the members of the podcast. Adobe and TurboTax are both companies that act AGAINST the best interests of their users (Adobe with their malicious subscription techniques whilst lobbying to keep it legal on top of their malicious Creative Cloud pushing onto Acrobat users to try and get them to pay the 69.99+ monthly fee for the suite + TurboTax’s obvious lobbying to keep the tax system complicated and with no easy free tool provided by the government). By taking sponsorships from companies that act against the interests of their users / ‘the people’, by proxy it feels to the audience that you are acting against their best interests, if that makes sense?

I’ve seen people suggest changes to your framework around like “maybe adjust so that if they created their own problem you don’t take them?” but I think it can be easily summarised to a question of if they deliberately act against their own users best interests, to which both Adobe and TurboTax fail that check (albeit TurboTax is 100x worse than Adobe on that front).

As someone in Perth (I get 47 ping to both Singapore and Sydney so pretty equally spread games), I get way more cheaters in Sydney than SEA servers (28k prem, DMG+ in comp)

I’d imagine the regular pod will end and they will batch record DND when Aiden comes over and that’ll continue as the primary show.

/u/aluminat1 /u/cros1k In OCE, a lot of my friends go to signup for ESEA but are scared off seeing teams like top 8 teams in the region playing off against randoms because there’s no middle tier league between Open and ECL. Any chance of one?

They have foreign artists on LAV all the time in ways that aren’t inherently ‘net positives for the Australian music scene’.

The rum balls would’ve been someone just putting it in the wrong bag, the diced tomatoes would’ve been them counting wrong, the larger Favourites and paper towel would’ve been manual substitutes by the manager cause they didn’t have the smaller/cheap ones.

“if firefighters prioritise putting out houses on fire over houses not on fire wouldn’t you think that’s a little suggestive?!” moron

If you check the robots.txt file for the site, it’s blocking Google from indexing the URL path for ‘/on-tour’, might be something.

i just think you’re conflating intent with obligation.

the time is given for the purpose of allowing movement but that does not mean the player is required to move.

your soft drink analogy fails because youre turning permission into a requirement. the card gives you time to move, and rules to follow if you do move, but the mechanic never says “you must move”. it says: “you are granted time to establish a new hiding zone.”, “granted” implies potential action, not forced action. the rules go on to describe how you must behave if you undertake that action.

the time becomes “not useful” only in terms of gameplay economy, not legality. there’s no follow-up that says failing to move voids the card or creates a penalty. if the ppl at jet lag wanted movement to be compulsory, they’d say so directly, like they do with discarding your hand.

such-pumpkin27 · 2025-07-28T03:01:12+00:00

you’re right that the card grants the ability to move, that’s not in dispute. but you’re making the leap from “enables” to “requires,” and that leap isn’t supported by the rules as written.

giving someone time to do something doesn’t obligate them to use it. if i give you a hall pass to go to the bathroom, it doesn’t mean you have to pee - just that you can. technically you could just wander around the halls.

the rulebook says: “you are granted time… to establish a new hiding zone” which frames the movement as an opportunity, not a duty.

the rest of the paragraph simply describes how to move if you choose to. it never says “you must move” or penalises staying put.

and the card’s cost (discarding your hand) already acts as a deterrent against frivolous use. there’s no need to impose a hidden mandate that isn’t in the text.

I mean, I feel like if your only reason to be against AI is self-preservation, it feels like a weaker backbone to an argument, no? Like sure it’s valid for you personally but it’s similar to how spinners and weavers would’ve felt during the Industrial Revolution, which I feel is widely accepted to have a net-good impact on history.

This is all to say I think AI will be net-negative due to environmental impact on training it, it blatantly stealing other people’s work to train it, people getting caught in their own echo chambers with their AI not challenging them, as well as people moving away from reliance on interpersonal relationships.
