We live within systems specifically created to market unneeded “wants”

Isn’t it interesting that it’s taught as supply and demand, and not demand and supply?

Another place I frequent got rid of the downvote so if people actually disagree with you they have to use words to make their point. Kinda funny how that solves a lot of issues.

You start a list however you need given the context. It’s arbitrary.

As an example when doing time calculations in programming, UNIX time is the number of seconds that have passed since January 1st, 1970. If you needed a list ordered most recent to oldest, the highest number would be first.

To bring it back to you, a 100 is a better numerical grade than a 1. The alphabetical identifiers attached to grades are in reverse order to their numerical counterparts, which is even more fun because the person with the highest number and the earliest letter are considered “best.” However, in some card games (Uno for example) having the lowest number is best when determining score.

Wait, you mean you don’t like how algorithms and ads have evolved to almost be content at this point. You don’t want a bunch of for-profit ads suggesting you buy things you don’t need? Lol, you’re not in it for the cash grab? :OOOOO WHAT!?!?!?!?!

I was a fan too, but lost the portable version I was using when my usb died. The version I pulled off git now freezes every 10 seconds and closes itself down a lot. Not sure how they made it worse but it’s worse now.

Why I haven’t delved back into any persistent self-hosting yet.

Inverting the adverse condition from having no control over when it activates to include conditions about it only activating in a specific place seems to solve a lot of the malicious compliance type side effects. Given that it seems to be a malicious compliance type scenario, it can’t be ruled out that that the final ace-up-the-sleeve would be that it never activates.

With those axioms, I’d probably go with something like: “activate ‘creative mode’ while sitting at my computer in my place of residence”

That way whether or not it actually engages, it’s in a favorable location where my body is occupied and generally no harm comes to it beyond sitting in one place too long. If it never activates, who cares? If it does, yay! :3

This one dockers.

it was making me hate my own friends

Yep. Other games it’s easy to brush off a mistake and laugh about it. Just something about this one (probably the massive time investment and amount of attention required for every game) had us seething at each other… I played for 10 years and probably played less in those 10 years than most of my friends I played with did in their first 2… Lol. I liked team fight tactics, but blizzard did it better in my opinion. And they removed Dominion. Was the only game type that was worth playing. >.>

I’m so rich, I can afford to maybe shop at mid-tier grocery stores comfortably like once every two months. :D

That’s been the meta for awhile. Anyone with a stake in something vehemently tries to discredit anyone’s skepticism by calling them a conspiracy theorist. Manipulating high-traffic social media with bots likely pays well.

“And the companies creating these vaccines have a history of covering up bad effects”

Just wanted to highlight this. Astroturfing happens. It’s even more effective when you’ve been in the market a long while and have friends in high places in other organizations.

It could suck someday, but it doesn’t suffer from the same things that made myspace -> facebook -> reddit suck. No money hungry executives profiting off underpaying employees to implement features no one asked for and selling astroturfing as a service. At least it doesn’t seem that there’s astroturfing as a service here yet.
