I see where you're coming from. But for Westworld the gratuity is sort of fundamental to the theme and plot of the show.

I have literally built a dungeons and dragons campaign to learn statistics, and had some students on their phones. I'm not a dancing bear, and having a dopamine panic-button makes it near impossible to engage with anything challenging (I struggle with it too and know it's an anxiety crutch, but it's super maladaptive).

There's quite a bit about American law (at least in practice if not theory) that's essentially "we all know he did it." Civil asset forfeiture, releasing mugshots to publicly shame people that haven't been convicted, etc. It's wrong but taking the high road doesn't work against fascism and doesn't stop those things from happening to the poor.

This is the hidden most based take in the thread.

Came here to say exactly this.

Most people are not armed in the US. And cop isn't even in the top ten most dangerous job. They act like everyone is armed because they're indoctrinated to see everyone as an enemy (and get off on violence).

It's an issue of time and scalability. Going from 100 employees to 200 employees wont make the game in half the time. And corporate accounting would rather have 2 mediocre games per year than 1 extremely good game every 2 years, even if it sold 4 times as well since revenue is analyzed within fiscal years and financing isn't free. Capitalism sucks.

Trying to repair a spice grinder. After swearing a bunch and cutting up my fingers I gave up putting the original switch and safety lock and decided to cannibalize a new switch from a space heater that isn't a POS.

Just a random cis-hetero dude scrolling through /all, but I think you totally pass. body dysphoria is a hell of a drug, even for cis folk. And it's hard as hell to take a photo of yourself that looks good. I've never succeeded in 3 decades. Sending love.

Can't really say it's not that bad so I'll just say that I hope that your tomorrow is slightly better than your today. Also there are a lot of people that value you as a human and want you in their community. Fascists are just louder (and more dangerous). Sending you love.

This song's going somewhere, baby. Somewhere with an accordion and a perm.

The concept is hilarious and really presses the spite dopamine button in my brain.
