The rpg munchkin in me hopes polyglot misleading includes computer languages.

These are so good, thanks for making them!

How so?

I think the logic is that a low birth rate is bad for the state. To harm the state makes one an anti-socialist.

I think the holidays are like most things, for better or worse they mostly enhance whatever mindset you’re in. (With exceptions etc)

Unhappy about life? Holidays probably not awesome in general.

Happy about it? Absolute blast.

That being said, if you want to work towards making things better, the holidays do offer a lot of opportunities!

I thought the game awards were like the Oscars in that they are supposed to ignore the commercial success of the nominations? (Never follow that stuff so I could be completely wrong.)

Yup! Because even on short term trend lines, most of us in the first world are doing fine relative to the world, which I find incredibly short sighted. Would you trade places with the children who make your clothes?

Amazing reference, I love smbc.

But, here’s how I imagine our complaints sound to oh, most of the world today:

Jesus, I hope that didn’t happen to you!

Oh the fulfilling bit, hard to argue one way or the other. Might be a grass is greener sort of scenario. Like, as a dev who works from home, spending a few days doing hard, long hours of manual labour on my buddy’s cabin was fun but holy damn, not sure I could dig that every day for years. Especially without physiotherapy and modern medicine (I play soccer a few times a week and without physio, I’d be a broken husk of a man.)

I imagine the protagonist might have looked at us sitting in the warm with all the free time, multimedia beyond his comprehension, literally every book written at our fingertips and he would’ve been fair to wonder something like “in such luxury, how could anyone not find their own meaning? With the freedom to learn almost anything imaginable, with food and a warm bed being all but guaranteed, what person could blame the world instead of themselves for not finding purpose or passion?”

I love all of this, thank you.

Though, there is now a part of me that wants to mass produce etched stone tablets bitching about the dishes just to give some future alien archeolgist an interesting PhD subject.

I think they mean in a boilerplate joke sense.

Making a meme is like making a joke where the punchline is basically worked out for you, you just need to figure out ingredients.

I’m not great with meme templates but take the Drake ugh/yay one. You just need something we dislike and a related thing we like. The punch line is Drake’s expression etc.

There’s more to a good meme but…

This is simultaneously horrible and amazing.

Those Native Americans were working within a society.

To be unencumbered by society also means to work without its aids. Even with advances in tech, you should read about how much crazy work was involved in setting up your own homestead or kind of anything. (I strongly recommend Crusoe of Lonesome Lake.)

Ahaha, definitely had “royal court” and OG bourgeoisie problems.

“Oh no, my servant lost her leg to an infected toenail and now I hear her peg clomping everytime she walks near!”

Oh yeah, it’s a pure function of tech and numbers. I just find it incredibly ironic.

Oh absolutely. It’s just compared to thr vast majority of humans who have ever lived, our complaints are sort of like when billionaires nowadays complain about being taxed.

Our lives are almost unimaginably better, somehow doubly so if you are a woman or minority, than most of the entirety of human history. So I find it ironic that there’ll be such a more a significant record about the most relatively pampered people in human history complaining.

Have you been recruited to go die in a trench? Or seriously worry about starving to death? Or watched a child die of measles, smallpox or whooping cough? Been a literal slave who could be whipped?

Hell, would you even trade places with the children who made your shirt?

Probably the coolest looking group of non ninja/mutant/teenage animals I’ve ever seen.

A lot of folks are overlooking one of the largest factors, unlimited student loans for whatever.

As long as people have access to an ever increasing amount of money to use for tuition, it is in those institutions’ interests to rise their prices to extract as much as possible.

Whereas other countries tend to subsidize their education at source, that is to say, by funding the schools directly which somehwat obviates the price gouging aspect.
