The first XKCD that comes to mind

Ellision sounds like the kind of guy that wants an unstoppable army of robot swarms.

Representative Jamie Raskin recently brought up the term neo-monarchy.

At this point, skip asking for a raise and go straight to forming a union. It saves time. It implies they should have been taking care of the workforce in the first place. And your colleagues likely need raises too.

Then over demand, because they'll try to offer less. If they try any technical or procedual shenanigans, show they've been caught and double your demands.

Remind them that unions and strikes are the peaceful alternative to violent retribution, and by trying to block unionization they are admitting they'd rather a class war.

If law enforcement gets involved, tell the state that siding with the owners will only escalate thr conflict, and extend the precarity out to the rest of the economy. Stock values will totally tank, and legislators and gubernators will be held personally responsible by their shareholding plutocratic masters.

I only got good at Jetty Boot specifically to unlock the jet boots. And it's the one mini-game I kinda resent.

Setrik's soiled loincloth!

The candidate for rich people who resent poor people.

We the public have to keep making better ad blockers that better detect ads and prevent them from being displayed (or in some cases, activating their malware payload).

YouTube is trying to either detect ad blockers and deny service, or change the insertion paradigm so that ads cannot be blocked. We cannot let them succeed doing either.

There are some Deep Rock Galactic gun builds (color and framework) that look like this.

This presents a good demonstration of what we can expect Alphabet / Google / Youtube to do if ever it should win its war on adblockers, or convince people to watch YouTube without vetting. Any time it promises to compromise and make a tolerable user experience, it will ratchet up advertisement plugs until it becomes intolerable.

This is why we can't relent, ever.

The save the world plot is new.

I appreciated the capitalist / industrialist commentary that this is what Ficsit does: Drop a few pioneers onto a planet and turn it into a giant self-consuming manufacturing plant, like a bacterium infecting a cell, that feeds some remote market with hyper-processed goods.

Oh well. I expect it still to be amazing.

Can confirm Satisfactory_ has eaten 3000+ hours of my life.

I'm curious if the hypertube physics is still the same, since lobbing myself between sites, or into the sky to do surveys or climb tall hills smacks of Portal and_ The Matrix._

I hope it all still works.

The new Bacon Agaric looks nice.

Oh wow, this is such a relief. Yes, I just restarted and was dreading the pinch while transitioning from bio to coal.

It still may mean regular leaf-gathering sweeps just dumping them in the intake bin rather than feeding each generator individually, but even that is an improvement.

Well, you know, that's life.

These are the words of a man that totally deserves to be gunned down by a malfunctioning ED-209 prototype.

Sound like you've never gone hungry, or even suffered from precarity.

We are all monsters once we are desperate enough. Even you.

But then we, as a species, careen towards multiple great filters we are ill-prepared to navigate. We may be too savage to survive after all.
