OP scores a critical hit

skipping to end conclusion of bad faith poll



yeah. gotcha



there exists the unmovable object (individual awareness) and the unstoppable force (ethical consumption of large group projects). troublingly true



the core naïveté in condemning large group projects when it becomes widely known that 1 apple from the forest is Really Shitty (vs. the constellation of all the shitty apples never known). yeah



the Circus of Effort that becomes of the finding-out



so some systems say: save that effort, spend more impactfully, on like charities

Oh boy. Nep's going to have a thing or two to say about this when she finishes her shift at the carrot yard

I can't imagine continuing to do this shit until I'm 65. I've been doing this for 18 years straight, and it's really began to mentally wear on me. Only have two off days in a week is a cruel fucking joke. Usually those two days are just spent trying to rest and recharge, when you want to accomplish other things in your life outside of work. They're also usually spread several days apart to avoid further burnout from working five or more days straight for two off.

Era, we aren't made for sacrificing so much time from our lives just to afford to survive.

Can we perhaps not compare modern working conditions in the west with actual fucking slavery? If you think they’re comparable, please educate yourself.

Very basic thing, statistically speaking, every Swedish organisation has someone that has voted for the racist party. Every American studio has a good % of republican voters. Do I just not play games because I disagree with some employees?

There are crap people everywhere. And sometimes good people make crap decisions for various reasons, whether intentionally or otherwise.

Believe people when they tell you they are evil, nobody is pretend evil

They never told you they were evil. A lot of people are pretend being “evil”, is called edgelord.

You lost in 2024 because your only argument is wow just wowing like this. How does it feel knowing that your only recourse to what I have to say is to ban me on an obscure, transgender Mahjong Forum?

Must have been real bad stuff for the mods to wipe them out like that.

It was straight up just 4chan-tier, including an n-word, so yeah.

[Uncle]

you mean the word that's just fine to say on the forum if you claim you're black

If he sends in a photo of his picture ID and his arm I’m sure the mods will apologize and reinstate his account. Totally honest mistake

I don't think we would have gotten one because she would need to twist herself into a pretzel trying to reconcile that:
1)Yes, obviously the capitalist 40-hour week is modern slavery.
2)How dare whites are comparing their 40-hour desk job to the cotton fields?

I guess that settles it, I'm taking a break from this place for a little while until I stop feeling that sense of tightness and dread in my chest.

Thanks for the responses. I appreciate everyone who gave really kind advice

The loss of my constant chest-tightening sense of dread and anxiety

The good news gave me hope they were using renewables for most of these data centers at the very least. I guess that's not even true for the USA though since President Clean Coal came around. China's exponential rise in renewables and the idea of Trump's heart exploding are the only things that give me hope anymore. If I lose that I'm probably jumping off a bridge

https://www.resetera.com/threads/2025s-ai-boom-has-caused-equivalent-co2-emissions-as-new-york-city-the-guardian.1387465/#post-149087869

There's a reason even Trump is pushing for nuclear. Everyone knows the situation is untenable. Even ignoring emissions, there is no solution to provide power to the growing number for data centers. It simply does not exist on our grid.

I wish someone would just bomb them. Blow those fucking things up.
I don't care if I get arrested for typing this anymore. Fuck everything

I've got some bad news for you.

Everyone does, all the time. Every day I feel miserable at where the world is heading. I just want one bit of hope. I don't ask for a lot. Just some small hopes to keep me from falling into a death doom spiral. I dunno why I even tried to come back here

If you apply existentialism to the future of humanity it works just as well as when you apply it for ones individual finitude/ death / meaninglessness. The world has always been a beautiful horrifying nightmare since it's inception. Additionally, you will always have something to live for: your kid. It really is hard but try to hang in there my friend...

I appreciate it. I just can't cope with it all. I'm pretty alone but I'm genuinely glad you have someone to live for. Treasure that.

Oh no, I thought you had a child. That's my bad. I have absolutely no one to live for, I'm totally alone too. I'm just kicking the can down the road for as long as life lets me. it sucks but I'm fighting for myself.

I guess that's all we can do

I'm just so horribly tired

I am not sure what gives you the idea that I am inconsistent about things like this, but you're quite wrong.

I'm speaking in general and trying to say that's how it goes.

If I wanted to target you specifically, I'd point out that you were pretty condescending toward people who expressed concerns about this game in the preview threads. But that's barely relevant.

This wasn't a gotcha.

Oh man, getting into a death doom spiral is awesome. So much good music...My Dying Bride, Anathema, Paradise Lost. One of my favourite metal subgenres.

on posting strike until jeff marvel's personal post is revealed, but at this point it will never be revealed, I think if he even ever posted it he deleted it and it's gone now
