I’ve seen assignments due at 23:59:59 to account for this. Different CMSes make different decisions about the way times work.

Either way it’s better than 0:00 IMO because that messes up people who look at due dates at a glance.

I only really have a problem with it when it’s in a post like this where there’s no reference in text, so filters/blocks can’t pick it up. 196 seems to have this issue most frequently due to the way people write titles here.

I like Cyberpunk 2077 but I honestly somewhat agree. It’s fundamentally the same game it was at launch, and the same people who were hating on it for not living up to their expectations turned around and started glazing it after CDPR fixed a few bugs and adjusted the balance.

There’s definitely a bit more polish than there was before, but I have no idea how all these people claim to have hated it on launch but like it now. I liked it on day one, and I like it today, but it’s really kind of a mid game. It feels like there’s potential for it to build up to something incredible in a second or third game, but as it is it could stand to be a lot better and I get a lot of your criticism and why you still dislike it.

Spore my beloved

Downvotes are only disabled locally, but that also disables downvote federation for our communities. Basically the downvotes you see were from people on your instance, and to everyone on other instances they can’t see the downvotes so it seems like you’re complaining about nothing.

I feel like people are way too eager to playact racism. Why did we need an N-word for AI?

It is explicitly a slur. That’s the whole joke. People use it in analogy to the n-word all the time.

Wanting to own billions isn’t necessarily evil. I’d say it’s actually pretty common to want to be a billionaire in our society; the desire to gain wealth is core to capitalism. They may not understand the consequences of it or be able to conceptualize of the people they’d hurt.

Hypothetically, if we treated it as an illness (or rather a symptom) we could shift societal norms and rehabilitate people who express signs of trying to hoard wealth.

Why would you not want to mute fast? I feel like muting fast is even better than blocking fast.

I agree that chaotic characters would be more inclined to break laws. But I suppose to circle back, I don’t see why that makes them any less Good.

Even your description of “law is an impediment to justice” sounds like a CG character would just do whatever they want without letting laws stop them, while NG might be more likely to consider whether or not to follow the law in any given circumstance and perhaps adjust their plan to be slightly more lawful, while CG might not respect the rule of law at all and just break into the prison and free the slaves or whatever.

Neutral Good (NG). Neutral Good creatures do the best they can, working within rules but not feeling bound by them. A kindly person who helps others according to their needs is probably Neutral Good.

Chaotic Good (CG). Chaotic Good creatures act as their conscience directs with little regard for what others expect. A rebel who waylays a cruel baron’s tax collectors and uses the stolen money to help the poor is probably Chaotic Good.

Side note: I agree that law and freedom aren’t necessarily in opposition as pure concepts. But part of my argument is that CG characters wouldn’t innately hate objectively good laws like “don’t keep slaves”. The laws they’d take issue with are ones that limit freedom, like “don’t steal”. Most probably wouldn’t be ideologues campaigning for the destruction of the government but they might just steal to fund their Good.

Maybe I’m confused what you mean. Being opposed to the concept of laws doesn’t mean you need to break them; you can still think “people shouldn’t murder” or “slavery is bad”. I don’t think incidentally following laws makes you not Chaotic. You just don’t care what the law is; you’d be doing the same thing regardless of whether it was the law or not.

Besides, I’m not sure “opposed to the concept of laws” is really true for all but the most extreme examples of CG. It seems like its more about wanting freedom than just hating laws themselves.

The chaotic good alignment isn’t any less good because they can simply follow the just laws and break the unjust laws. They might resent the institution of law, but they aren’t obliged to do the opposite of the law, they just will do it for their own reasons instead of the legality. They’re still fundamentally good.

A lawful good character would probably prefer legal methods to fight legal injustice, while a chaotic good character might prefer to break the law as they don’t see legal methods as worth anything/don’t recognize its authority. Both are Good, but they might use different methods when confronted with the same problem.

as long as it’s about a month per area

Seems pretty arbitrary. Why confine Pride events to a single month?

That’s configurable since Git 2.28. You can change init.defaultBranch to main or trunk or whatever you want.

Years ago my ex was trying to get me into anime and they decided to show me Made in Abyss and it put me off anime for years

I feel kinda like an outlier in that I never used dude/man/bro pre-transition, but now that I’m openly enby and on E I use them reflexively with my friends. For some reason it feels like an expression of my queerness now. I also have friends who call everyone “girl/sis” and that rocks too, but I don’t tend to use those words myself. My sister calls people “girliepop” and I find it delightful. I tend to wait to use any of the words with new friends before figuring out if they’re cool with it though.

I also tend to call everyone they/them unless someone tells me what their pronouns are explicitly (or via button or something), I don’t really like gendered pronouns. It makes for a funny situation where I use they/them for basically everyone except trans people.

Hey smorty, we’ve never talked before but I wanna say I love your posts and your writing style. Always makes me happy to see you when I’m browsing local. I hope you don’t change too much for the lemmy worlders, they’re exaggerating their discomfort when they say they’re “having strokes” or whatever. I hope you do whatever makes you happiest!

Don’t see too many leftists defending military contractors…

What’s the point of a discussion thread if you’re deleting all the discussion? Seems silly to even make one at that point.
