Yet the Tengwar have more users in 2024 than Linear A. UTF isn’t a museum.

Linear A before the Tengwar. It’s a crime.

Tbf that’s a literal translation of Belarus. It means ‘white Russia’.

You know what it doesn’t offer? Dex save bonuses. 🔥

If you ask Maya (mouse defender), Meti (teacher) only had one student. Incubus (mouse killer) was with them to be her counterexample.

It’s great, yeah. I have all the prints.

Oh wow just switch employers, is that all

Beyond that, you missed my point. Even if I were being paid more, I still wouldn’t have any incentive to make myself dispensable. Unless I’m vested in the company profits, then the profits don’t matter to me.

Lmao fuck integrity I’m trying to make rent

It’s not like the company has any integrity in their dealings, like when they lay off entire departments with no notice. One of my current coworkers worked for Dell for 17 years before being laid off. According to you, if she were confident in her abilities, she shouldn’t have worried.

Companies don’t care about integrity. They don’t care about people. All companies would replace you with someone cheaper if they could. Why should we care about them?

Then they should pay me based on that—giving me partial ownership, for example, would incentivize me to do better for the company. As it stands, I get paid the same no matter how the company is doing. I only have an incentive not to get fired… which is easier if I’m indispensable.

Capitalism offers a perverse incentive in this regard. I have no motive to keep the company healthy, only to get paid. Ensuring I can be replaced benefits the company while harming me.

Literally all technology is a progression of already existing technology. I feel like you’re being kind of persnickety.

If the AI were better at using blackmail in 3, it might still be smart to legalize things, because you can use hooks to force fellow vassals to join factions. If you had a player vassal, for example, you might want to legalize a lot of stuff to remove their leverage.

Don’t be silly. All moral considerations are logic problems. Theory without praxis is immaterial at best and concern trolling at worst.

And ecosystems are made up of a sum of lives, animal and otherwise. Their collapse inherently kills animals. There is no moral superiority in allowing deaths by inaction.

I admit I’m having trouble finding any transcript of the primary source. It’s supposedly an answer she gave during a local convention and it’s been repeated by enough websites citing each other that I don’t know which one was the original.

I’ll keep trying to find it, though.

According to his wife Majel, yes.

Gene Roddenberry was a Maoist. Pretty sure this was a studio thing, not a Gene thing.

Software engineering as a discipline is pretty much a series of trick questions.

Every tenth line, this would evaluate to False, while on lines that aren’t multiples of ten, it would evaluate to True.

My cat would die in seconds if I let him outside. He’s too dumb to live.
