Right? It's so coarse. You can't take wild shape without also getting full spell casting. The game is full of stuff like that. No fine control. Also huge opportunity costs. Dip into another class? Enjoy not getting your second attack for weeks of real life time.

The coarse bundling probably good for some kinds of beginner players, but it's really restrictive.

Or just... Email.

My parents just email me pictures of stuff. It's fine.

I would guess that many people have never lived in a good, dense, location. My parents would vote for farther apart, but when they think of the city they think of The Warriors

It'd be interesting to poll only people who have lived in a variety of places.

I grew up in a car-focused suburb and never want to go back.

Being able to admit fault, admit being wrong, updating their worldview, emotional regulation.

You've probably all encountered the kind of person who when challenged has a whole melt down. You say something like "I'm not eating meat today because it's bad for the environment and animals" and they have a whole name-calling meltdown. Too stupid to handle their sense of being good person threatened.

The rich are famously bad at money. "It's one banana Michael" resonates for reasons.

Someone who's low on money is going to look at the unit price of paper towels. A rich person probably isn't going to think about it at all.

One of my old bosses complained I asked too many questions about requirements. They'd give me poorly defined tasks and I'd be like "what do you want it to do when the user has no name in the system?". Then they'd get annoyed.

But if I just made a decision, like sorting my ID, they'd be like "that's stupid why didn't you sort by sign up date?"

It won't make things better all on its own. The things that enable and create him are still around. I mean, unless there was like a plane with a whole lot of republicans and billionaires all together and it went down in a fiery crash with no survivors. That might make a big enough vacuum for change.

Republicans are villains

Most of the people don’t want to be convinced. They come adamant that they won’t change their opinion

I link this comic a lot but I think it's often relevant: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/believe

Basically, people don't believe things or accept facts that conflict with their emotions.

I don't know. A coworker years ago said to me "you have to make what you want people to do the easy thing", and I think he was right. But someone still has to do work. Back then, it was me changing the deploy script to automatically run tests and open the report so people had to go out of their way to skip all that.

I'm not sure what that looks like for the fediverse. Linking them directly? Some sort of "sign up with Google" SSO mechanism? Just make the account for your friend and give it to them?

Ideally we'd go up one level and address why people are so mentally depleted they can't handle a sign up form.

I've been using Linux with Nvidia for a few years now without any problems. I don't play the most cutting edge stuff at high resolution, but like path of exile 2, elden ring, expedition 33 all ran just fine.

Yeah, that could be some of it. We can't all be perfect all the time. It's impossible.

I'd appreciate more honest appraisals, though. "I know Twitter is garbage run by a Nazi, but I got linked to it and scrolled a bit" is far better than "well other people are worse so who cares". There's this childish whataboutism that a lot of people bring out to justify their poor behavior.
