The best satire reframes real life in a way that you suddenly see just how insane reality is. The Barbie movie does this very well and it presents real things that still happen every day all over the world in the course of the movie

I came here to say “none of them” because they all suck gigantic balls and I just use a NUC instead. I also just use unified remote on my phone to control it with a track pad keyboard as a back up.

Unregulated capitalism places all of the power in the hands of the wealthy. Even with the amount of regulation in place, the last 4 decades has irrefutably proven that. The transfer of wealth from the bottom 95% to the top 5% has has been insane.

The only reason we need so much regulation is because people are garbage and if they can gain something for nothing, they will. You cannot consider the pure idea of capitalism without also considering the reality of human nature, that it is inherently going to create a pyramid scheme like situation where the top transfer power and wealth to themselves in the largest quantities they can, in spite of pesky things like laws and taxes.

And if my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike.

I think it’s very tricky to assign this level of real world specific equivalence, because the making you hit/wound/save as a sequence is mostly there to let you roll more dice and interact with more mechanics.

They could replace everything with a formula that results in a single number you need to beat on a single dice fairly easily, and go even more in depth with it, but that’s not very interesting.

Having the roll sequence allows for a lot more “oooooooohhhhhhh” moments without up setting the rhythm of the game and means that each player gets more interaction with abilities and leader buffs etc. And it’s fun to roll lots of dice.

IMO it would make more sense to say that the combination of stats represents the general resilience and armour of a model, but that assigning each step of the sequence this level of specific equivalence is reading to much into it.

Albon crossed the line directly behind Perez and was 0.5 seconds faster, you can’t blame the conditions.

Lemmy will need to hit a critical mass of regular users before all the niche non-Programmer orientated communities will start to properly populate, hopefully it doesn’t drop off before then
