Market based Socialism would be the next logical step and it doesn't require any murder. We should absolutely eat the rich though. I'm also keenly aware that the likelihood of any of this happening in my lifetime is extremely slim.

TopicTurn based JRPGs that aren't just "use your best attack"?
Jaded_Dragon
05/13/21 1:09:21 PM
#67
I want to say The Legend of Dragoon, as the timing based button presses for attacks is a fun way to keep you involved in what is going on in the game, but I'm also hesitant to mention it because I feel like every boss fight kinda plays out the same. They're damage sponges, so even your best attacks barely hurt them, they hit like trains, and it ultimately comes down to if you have enough healing potions in your very limited inventory.

Other than that, I thought Dragon Quest XI was quite good. Status changing magic actually serves a purpose and simply wailing on your enemies will often lead to a game over.

IDK, for me I haven't been excited about a launch since PS2. I think going through 2 PS2's within the first 2 years due to the dreaded 'disc read error' issue put a bad taste in my mouth (the 3rd is still kicking tho!), which was further compounded by the RROD issues with the 360.... I went through 2 of those as well.

I wasn't excited for PS3 really at all, as I felt that the PS2 had more to give, devs were really just figuring out how to get the most out of the system before the push to PS3. I also didn't really care about any of the exclusives other than MGS4. I ended up not getting a PS3 until about 2010, and I didn't get a PS4 until 2015. I have no plans to get the PS5 anytime soon.

TopicDOJ threatened MIT researchers with subpoena in collaboration with Bolivian coup
Jaded_Dragon
05/04/21 3:44:51 PM

The short-lived coup regime reached power following a clear script: In the weeks leading up to the Bolivian presidential election in October 2019, the opposition pumped endless propaganda through social media and television networks, warning that incumbent President Evo Morales would exploit widespread fraud to win reelection. Morales had become the first Indigenous president elected in Bolivia in 2005, at the head of his party Movement Toward Socialism, or MAS, and by 2019, he was running for his fourth term. He faced intense opposition, often framed in explicitly racist terms, from a Frankenstein coalition of right-wing Bolivians of European descent and supporters of former President Carlos Mesa, once a member of Bolivias left revolutionary party who had become hostile to Moraless social democratic government.

As the votes were counted on election night, Morales was ahead as expected. The question was whether he would win by enough to avoid a runoff, which in Bolivia is triggered when a candidate wins by a margin of fewer than 10 points. In an unofficial tally, Morales led Mesa by 7.9 points, giving the opposition hope for a second round. But when the official count was released, Morales had won by 10.6 points. There would be no runoff.

Without evidence, the opposition immediately leveled fraud charges. It was backed up the next day by the Organization of American States, the powerful hemispheric cooperation organization based in Washington, D.C.

The OAS Mission expresses its deep concern and surprise at the drastic and hard-to-explain change in the trend of the preliminary results revealed after the closing of the polls, read the OASs incendiary statement. Protesters took to the streets; the military called for Morales to step down; and the opposition installed a new leader, Jeanine ez, after three weeks of unrest. Far to Mesas right, ez assumed office and swiftly attempted to eliminate the sense of enfranchisement for Indigenous people that the Morales government had brought. While 14 out of 16 members of Morales first Cabinet were Indigenous, ez did not appoint a single Indigenous person to her first Cabinet. In the two months before assuming office, she had tweeted that Morales was a poor Indian and implied that Indigenous people cannot wear shoes. When she reached the presidency, she declared that the Bible has returned to the palace.

The story beats sound very similar. Almost like there's a right wing fascist playbook that continuously gets used over and over again.

Almost.

With my company we do it so in case anyone has to leave early or has to miss a day for whatever reason the manager is aware of what's going on and if they need to step in and help, they can. For us at least its not about keeping tabs on people, but keeping tabs on projects and everyone being aware of what's going on. We're a relatively small company and if someone has to be out for an extended period of time, it can really throw a wrench into things, so it's best that everyone stay on the same page.

That doesn't sound like your situation though and I can understand why it would be annoying lol.

Ah man, I have 2 slipped discs in my back, L4 & L5. On a good day the pain stays between my lower back and my hip. On a bad day it runs down my legs to my knees. I have one disc going left and one going right, so I get pain on both sides.

Good times.

I'm on daily low dose pain meds, I take THC/CBD at night, and I get injections in my back every 6 weeks or so. The shots help for about 4 weeks on average. The initial injury happened about 9 years ago and it's just getting worse and worse with each passing year. I'm probably going to be looking at surgery within the next 2 years or so.

Yay me!
