Certain hobbies set off warning bells

  • I've had to stop watching/reading a load of programming stuff because numerous times I've found out the creator was just horrifically racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic or transphobic. It got too tiring having to investigate every author (not that it was difficult, they're usually VERY open about being bigots).

    • If your username would predict the way you die, how will it happen?

    Jump

  • Very quickly but likely quite painful

    • Surprising Share Of Canadians Support EU Membership

    Jump

  • What if we just take Canada and move it over a little?

    • Rebellion CEO seems kind of awed by major studios making massive videogames: 'How do you organize a game that has 2,000 people working on it?'

    Jump

  • Used to work at Rebellion on their IT team. Genuinely a fantastic place to work and the owners seemed to always be super chill. Had a full suit of armour in one of their offices and so many weapons lying around (likely blunt replicas but still really cool).

    I wasn't on the game dev team so can't speak for them but I was personally never pushed to work harder and often explicitly told to take breaks.

    We also used to have large Unreal Tournament matches at lunch.

    • My music tastes are spread wide [Rule]

    Jump

  • Huh, two to my favourite bands as well

    • Riddled rule

    Jump

  • I have some amazing news in that case!

    • It's Thursday 03/06/2025. Hey, What's Going On!

    Jump

  • I was so sure this was made out of cheese at first and was very confused but impressed.

    • After twenty-odd years, Transmetropolitan has become highly relevant again

    Jump

  • Never heard of Transmetropolitan but this looks amazing!

    • AuDHD assessment suggestion

    Jump

  • I just joined a Discord server of mostly AuDHD people. Much easier.

    • UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer writes op-ed against net zero

    Jump

  • I don't think I've ever thought of chicken that way... Questioning if I even understand it at all 😂

    But yes, you're right, the whole thing requires everyone to contribute equally for it all to work properly but, since everyone can momentarily benefit more by not, and politics is painfully shortsighted, they won't do the right thing.

    • UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer writes op-ed against net zero

    Jump

  • Isn't it less of a game of a chicken and closer to a global Prisoners Dilemma? The best option for everyone is for everyone to do the thing, the best option for individuals is to not do the thing but the worst thing for everyone is to not do the thing?

    • UK Labour to commit almost £22bn to fund carbon capture and storage projects

    Jump

  • I love how part of their reasoning is to somehow help with our dependence on the whims of the international oil and gas markets, as if this in any way addresses that. Unlike, you know, £22bn worth of wind, solar, tidal or nuclear energy might?

    • Massive E-Learning Platform Udemy Gave Teachers a Gen AI 'Opt-Out Window'. It's Already Over.

    Jump

  • Thank you for the reminder to delete my Udemy account!

    Gen-AI has 0 place being used in a learning setting, especially one people are explicitly paying for themselves. Sure, let's all learn from the Bullshit Machine.
