Fun sentiment but there's no way to exist without participating in capitalism. My smart phone may be made with slave labor but it's not like there are alternatives. Even if there were they'd be unaffordable.

If you can't see the massive difference between a handful of billionaires causing the suffering in the world to become richer, and the hundreds of millions of people who are just participating in capitalism because there's no other choice, then there's no point in talking to you.

That was when I wasn't working at any of the other jobs I listed.

Things seemed pretty good in the pre-agricultural age of hunting and gathering.

Even going by Dick would be a better option.

Give it a few years. Maybe announce the developer, then go silent for years (not two decades though) while they work on it quietly. Don't hype it up, don't ask the devs for press updates. Let the massive success of BG3 fade a little from recent memory so the new developers can do their own thing with it without having to deal with the pressure of following BG3.

The worst thing they could do is push for BG4 too quickly.

The idea (or my opinion at least) is we start at the top, working our way down the high score list. After the first few, hopefully the rest come to their senses and voluntarily stop being scum.

Only if you can prove it!

You don't even need grenades for that, just pour gasoline down the foxhole and toss in a lit match.

I'm finally taking meds for my ADHD and while I don't feel like I can control what I focus on, it does seem to help in my ability to suppress distracting thoughts, especially when around others. I still have to put myself in situations where distractions are less likely to happen in order to get stuff done, but it does feel easier.

So like everything else, not a silver bullet but it does help. However I skipped a day and felt like shit; is withdrawal a thing?

It's not a waste if you have unusuals, stranges, or the hallowed australium frying pan!

Left for Firefox when they announced this update. I still have to use Chrome when I work in Google drive since basic functions like copy/paste don't work in non-chrome browsers, but even without this update the minute+ time it takes for chrome to open reminds me I made the right decision.

The Onion got less funny when the real world became crazier than their satire. Not their fault; it's hard to be more insane than reality.
