The point of 5e is to sell as many books as possible with nothing in them while convincing the customer that they're game designers.

It's really, really difficult to get small business owners to see how they personally benefit from social goods. They spend too much time grinding and struggling during the establishment phase. I think it's something of a traumatizing experience.

Like, trying to get those who primarily sell to working class folks to see how raising the minimum wage actually benefits them, because it means that all of their customers have more money to spend is nigh impossible. All they see is that they'll have to raise prices, and it makes them even more hostile toward their employees.

And the kicker is, they have no reason to trust in any of the social benefits, because we've lived in a society that bas spent the last 45 years dismantling them. And one of our two parties that actually makes government now explicitly runs on destroying social services of every kind.

There's no way it's not a pricing error. Likely supposed to be $80.

I wonder if they'll notice and cancel orders

The term that's causing my alarm bells to ring here is "Canadian interests". The interests of the state often do not align with the interests of the people, and it's not terribly difficult to tie behaviour that interferes with the state's interests to the benefit of foreign entities that may oppose the state.

Well, that's my new favurite description of that scene.

"Roll acrobatics, I guess."

"Natural 20!"

"Ok... You contort your body in ways that no humanoid creature should be able to, and successfully fit inside the jar.

"Can I get everyone else to make a Wisdom saving throw, please?

"Uh huh. Uh huh. Uh huh.

"Ok, everybody else now thinks you're a djinni."

This is saying good morning to everyone at midnight levels of pedantic. Astronomers need a common reference frame for discussing timing, and the reference frame they use is "when it's observed at Earth".

Because nothing else allows for coherent organization, discussion, or education.

A nuclear fusion event occurred in the accretion disk of a stellar remnant 2600 years ago or so. An astronomical event known as a nova will occur in the sky sometime this summer.

Ad soon as they go public, their product is their share price. And even before then, since most growing private companies seek out private investment long before going public.

Yeah, there's plenty about how Mastodon frames itself and its features that are frustrating. That "easy mobility" requiring an 80 step process that involves downloading and re-uploading a bunch of files kind of anchors you for seeing how disconnected some developers are from the user expectations they set.

But does there?

This comes back to what federation and "the fediverse" is, and why trying to hide its nature is harming it.

No one expects their Facebook post history to follow them to Reddit, or to a forum, or to Lemmy, because they're different websites. Just as no one expected their Twitter history to come with them to Mastodon.

But because it's framed as "Mastodon" and not "social.website.com" the expectations are different.

Oh fun! Another website for me to blacklist.

Yaaaaas! This is what the Fediverse is all about! Niche websites that broadcast to the whole web, not big central hubs that don't need to broadcast at all.
