Poor Colorado being left behind with the ingrates T_T

I so badly want to see her wipe the floor with him, but now sadly the popcorn I bought in anticipation will have to settle for a movie.

As I already said, we’re not going to be able to get rid of the sociopaths. It’s a mental disorder, by chance and or trauma. They’ll always be with us, barring some genetic engineering that borders on eugenics. That’s not the point.

The point is to make them the minority, and have a system where everyone isn’t forced to act like them in order to succeed.

I’ve already stated a potential option. Capitalism on its own is technically a purely neutral economic system, provided it’s ONLY the economic system. We have expanded that system into our society as well, and that’s when it becomes toxic.

Use a capitalist economy, but strapped and locked down by socialist (true socialist, not the USSR or communist) principles and systems. Ensure that if capitalism has social effects, they’re extremely minor, and elevate the good of people above that of capital. Socialism Strapped Capitalism.

Good inroads to this are things like UBI, a maximum income, and ensuring social and environmental effects are included in corporate financial calculations.

Thank you for being my first block here, you galactic brain simpleton, you ;)

It’s worse. Certain economic and social systems are designed to make the only viable, or most viable, survival strategy to be a sociopath or worse. Most people are forced to cosplay that at some level in these systems, whether they have those traits naturally or not, in order to survive. And despite human nature being communal, it’s more powerful in survival adaptation.

I’m morbidly curious as to when you think capitalism started, considering your take here :V

Hint: it was fire

That’s not the problem. The problem isn’t the people willing to exploit the system. They’re the sociopaths in question that capitalism is designed to help succeed.

The problem is, everyone else has to cosplay them in order to survive. And human nature, despite being communal, is more powerful than that in only one way; survival adaptation.

Our species will adapt as hard as it has to in order to survive, no matter what.

In a capitalist system (mind you, societal as well as economic, socialism strapped capitalism might actually work very well), because the best survival strategy is to be a sociopath or worse, most people will be forced to do so to at least some level.

Change the system, change the outcome.

It’s almost like capitalism is designed to make sociopathy the more successful survival strategy

About fuckin time, Joe!

As The Crazy Game Master, I’m not the one dying.

Everybody else? Roll for Initiative.

Anybody got a TL:DR?

Huh, TIL.

Still, without knowing that, it looked exactly like the kind of collective meme the table would come up with and beg the DM to add.

The fat dragon is what really landed the movie for me. That? That was a DM decision, based on the players and the DM being memelords. Straight from the tabletop.

It really just demonstrated that the whole movie is a DnD campaign (agglomerate homebrew) with extremely high production value, and I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT.

What really hurts so much about this is that Reddit is effectively a modern Alexandrian Library, and it’s burning. There’s so much content there that’s vitally important and it could all go up in smoke. Anybody know any full archival projects?

I’d be able to bury Bezos in nickels, on his back preferably

Ah, yep, left the debug on. An understandable oversight, if I had a nickel for how many times I’ve forgotten that…

Please note it’s not a default community VIEW I propose. Just an initial set of subscriptions. Everything else should still be visible.

Quit trying to fit Lemmy into a Reddit box

Good idea!
