me, surprised that my technique was poor during my first judo tournament after a couple months

me annoyed that when I won a match I used my decade of jiu jitsu experience

me when all my friends still like me anyway

Xi, will you please bail us out of national-scale tragedy, please? I’ll give you back every single Xi buck you’ve given me for posting and 5% interest.

Have opinions about my life but luckily it’s after 9:30. You’re trying to get ahold of the other consciousness comrade, unfortunately you dumbass thoughts have to deal with me and I’m not the listening type.

I always think of this clip with Henry Cavil (first 40 seconds) for when Nobunaga finally accepts that Yasuke’s skin is actually black. Either that or he soyfaces and goes “😲 you’re the coolest guy ever!! You gotta try this! hands him a sword” Either way I like to imagine it like dudes rock.

I hate the adults in the room making the tough decisions as much as I hate @[email protected]

I cannot possibly comprehend someone who thinks I’m a bad guy

You’d quickly find yourself arguing a weird and difficult position if your defense of capitalism is the quality of the pre-packaged foods. I’m sure a manifold of packagers can take tomatoes and make a version of pasta sauce you don’t think is yucky. You would also be equipped with the time, energy, and purchasing power to make your own pasta sauce if you’re so particular. You would also be part of a superstructure that doesn’t have basic life skills locked behind some sort of gender role.

I have never felt relief while checking the nutrition info, price/oz, and ingredient list of the 6 pasta sauces for 5 minutes to see which brand is cheap but not a slurry of corn syrup. If I felt confident that the pasta sauce was basically good, it came in mild, regular, spicy, and two avant garde versions I’m sure I’d be spoiled for choice. Even better if the pasta sauce union had a forum where they would take into account what sauce heads think about the state of pasta sauce. This, of course, would be instead of the board of Kellogs and Hersheys (who are probably the same people) that control all food in the US unilaterally deciding that working class families need a subscription to saw dust laden pasta sauce on the Kellogs app in order to summon a muzzled grocery store worker to unlock the locked cabinets for a tip.

“he accepted over $200,000 in bribes when the local college gave him an honorary degree in law”

“he proceeded to accept another 6 figure bribe after a bout of food poisoning brought him to a hospital where he stayed overnight free of charge”

I don’t know my point but I’m smiling at the idea that the mayor is a cheap date.

oh, looks like your Nazi friend is injured in the snow. you better go help

1/12? Dogshit jungler

At the time I didn’t think I could even tolerate the job. Got some space to think properly and I just don’t think that’s true any more.

This jumped out to me as typical of decision making in general. I think of investors as only having two moods “oh I’m an idiot, why did I even waste a cent on that stock? I knew it was cratering.” and “oh I’m an idiot, why didn’t I take a loan on the house and bet that too? I knew it was going to the moon.” There’s never a satisfaction or some sort of emotional clicking-into-place that lets you know you chose right of two uncertain calls. If you do get that click DM me, tell me your secrets, and save me from myself.

I remember this audiobook (which, I’m told, probably has a regular book form too) called Algorithms to Live By. It talked about how computer/software engineers need to think about computational limitations where time is finite. There are things like the Secretary Problem and Optimal Stopping Problems. It really stood out to me that, given best strategy, you had a 1/3 chance of actually getting the best secretary (interview -> thumbs up or thumbs down (optionally: -> changing your mind).

I think you made a valid decision insofar that its internal logic was consistent. I have faith you made a grounded decision insofar that you took into account your material conditions. If a choice has both of these, I count it among your rational decisions. I think you simply wait and see whether that glorified rougelike-on-rails we call life gives you good RNG. I think giving into second guessing your decision undermines your ability to make your next rational decision. I don’t think you can do much better than following what excites you, making rational decisions, and not attaching your worth to the outcome.

TL;DR: You probably made the right call.

0.6% of players have that achievement currently. That’s a real “oh” moment for me. I went really, really hard with the analysis and optimization.

In my experience you could say the same about every little activity but the amalgam ends up giving you moments of respite. Do baby steps of things that you feel like 1) you ought to do and then 2) will hit the spot. Be gentle and remember how the world is silently mourning all the most vulnerable among us who have been/are being fed to the magic money line god.

I finished phase 4. Everything was hanging on by a thread. Everything is short on everything. Phase 5 it even more complicated. I need to take a break. Like multiple days.

sock puppet and silly voice for some people, hope looks like the cessation of genocide

RIP I hope somehow somewhere you are feeling the presence of justice denied to you in life.

I enjoy seeing other peoples’ vision of satisfactory so much because it reminds me how we all think and play differently. That’s a beautiful aesthetic having a train go to the factory within the desert. It appeals to me much more than a sterile platform where all the action happens.

Maybe I’m underestimating the complexity of making the aesthetics, but I bet that wouldn’t take you more than a couple hours to make the smelter. In my mind all the difficulty would come from making it look good because smelting iron is super simple stuff. I took your idea for the tile [1] and then made a shitton of them [2] and it’s as much as the miners can handle. They sit down very quickly as blueprints (with a bit of spaghetti hell in the background).

In my headcanon the Elite 4 in the original pokemon was a pokemon tournament but they lacked the memory space and the graphical quality to express it so they just made a couple cool rooms. But everybody loved it that way so they just kept it like that.

That’s the neat part. I originally had this plan where I’d have the iron works, the copper corner, and the steel mill on a floating platform. But then life happened and they needed motors, computers, and more plastic. Then all my refineries were smack dab in the middle and they we’re horribly mismanaged. So sometimes raw quartz would run clear across the base alongside the caterium thread into the manufacturer’s paradise. But the manufacturer’s paradise makes a triangle with the caterium & other curious resource ranch and the space elevator (which overlaps with the now defunct first rendition of the steel mill that still makes beams and rods for my void storage).

I am not proud of how many hours I am managing to squeeze out of my day to play this game. I wish something more productive could be so enchanting to me. Hell, I’ve never had another video game be this captivating.

@[email protected] I finally got uranium into my base for processing into nuclear power. It was only after I made 3x as much tubing constructor tiles that I remembered I could use power crystals to do the same job. I also never ended up building a train and at this point my base is a writhing mass of spaghetti and unsaturated fatty acid chains of building tiles. The only person who could possibly understand it is me unless I stop playing for a week.

But everything

is so

FAAAAAAAST

also lmk if you don’t want to be pinged or if I should DM you or something pls
