Rich people

You know that shit’s gonna peel like a boiled egg

Underlegislation leads to a bloated, extortionate upper crust that weilds disproportionate power over those who rely on said financial system. There is a balance, and the problem you outline is the lesser of the two extremes.

That’s what you’re hung up on? There’s a whole subgenre of sharks with tits.

Let’s take a page from Helldivers and call it “Managed Capitalism.” Surely far better than rootstock /s

Maybe publishing houses will never get the memo, but the Helldivers team knew to make a fun game first, and THEN added amazing graphics. If the market prooves they prefer that dev cycle ethos, it will bring change.

It’s more to the point that tasks are easier for neurotypical people to accomplish because the world was built for their minds. Neurodivergent people have to build up skills and workarounds for functions that seem to come naturally to NTs, eventually creating a mosaic of little crutches and scripts to follow in order to fit in or even function at all in modern society.

NDs don’t have “the box.” NTs are born with “the box.” Society says you must stand on the box (that it’s assumed everyone has inherently) in order to participate. So the ND makes their box out of the many tiny tools and workarounds they build to “stand on the box” that they don’t have.

Human fiction itself may become self-fulfilling prophesy…

Hey OP, that site has enough trackers on it to give me cancer. Can you link an alt from a more consumer friendly source?

Clippy never had a voice and tbh the one that comes to mind for him is not very easy on the ears. Like downpitched spongebob.

Yeah… I wouldn’t enjoy it as much if it was “honey I shrunk my little bro.”

Yet language and abstraction are the core of intelligence. You cannot have intelligence without 2 way communication, and if anything, your brain contains exactly that dictionary you describe. Ask any verbal autistic person, and 90% of their conversations are scripted to a fault. However, there’s another component to intelligence that the Turing Test just scrapes against. I’m not philosophical enough to identify it, but it seems like the turing test is looking for lightning by listening for rumbling that might mean thunder.

Thw books, obviously! Been decades tho

Su Cuy’Gar, Mando’an!

That’s Ruth, the HoA Fish

“Surely the weight of a few more gallons will push it th-- ah, fuck!”

Look at Battletech. It’s an established IP, sure, but very niche compared to Warhammer, and those sales estimates were blown out of the water. I think it’s more to do with the fact that this game is so much more different in genre and tone than other HBS titles like BT and Shadowrun. They had few of their core fans who were looking for a game like Lamplighters and therefore were basically relying on new fans.

Is this a joke or the craziest thing I’ve never heard. Is that like the brown note or something?

The purpose of life (imo) is to discover humanity in yourself and what “the best human” means to you. People get their ideas on “the best human” from many inspired examples. The Buddha, Mohammed the Prophet, Jesus of Nazareth, Julius Caesar, or Jimmy Buffet. Some people need no such idols and can form their own understanding of what it means to be human, but all of these scale.

Your humanity plays into the identity of your family, plays into the identity of your city/town, plays into the identity of your region, plays into the identity of your nation, and at the top is the true meaning of life: the culmination of every dream and desire, the moral fabric of our species, and the embodiment of the only such entity in existence to our knowledge. The purpose of life is to find that, reconcile with it, and use the wisdom you gain in doing so to help shape our species into a happy, healthy, and mature civilization, or die trying.

Piiiitchforks! Getcher pitchforks heeeere!
