Sync is everything is my fav. But switch the colors between the main healing and the subtitle sync, so that the main one is red and the kitchen sync is blue.

Edit: maybe even say “Even the kitchen Sync.”

That… Is so incredibly disruptive mentally and emotionally. It’s like being slapped in the face with a fish the size of a truck.

I can’t believe that actually helped at all. Holy shit.

Yeah, absolutely!

Yeah you gotta at least give them an out. Always.

I AM :) actually aware of the tragedy of the Commons, and I think the prisoners dilemma is a lot closer to what I was thinking of initially than the dictator game.

Total sidenote, I actually just went to Reddit again for the first time in several days to check on the status of baconreader, the app I used for a very long time, since the app devs only post info there, on their subreddit for some reason. They’re shuttering on the 30th, removing the app from all the stores, and not currently planning a lemmy/kbin app, which is super sad because I love their ux design. It’s so strange seeing all the posts saying goodbye and thanks with all the champagne emojis and tears.

The problem is only a problem because the vast majority of normal people believe it’s helpless.

If all workers, say, organized, grew a pair, became French suddenly, or just decided ‘fuck it’ and immediately started fighting for any little thing, workers would suddenly be in power, much like how tech was a couple years ago when there was a huge quitting spree.

Scarcity, wether it be artificial or real, is the reason we’re all scared. And the reason we have artificial scarcity (in tech) right now is because there’s no coordination and scared or hungry people are willing to do that bidding for less and less.

It’s the classic test of social cooperation. I think one of the Green brothers just talked about it in the past week or so somewhere? I can’t remember how it goes, so I’ll try to make it make sense:

You have four people playing a game together. They have a sheet of paper and a pencil, the paper is not see through and until they reveal the paper, nobody can see what anybody else has written.
The players can all write “trust” or “take” on their papers.
After they decide what to write, all papers are revealed.
Everybody starts at 0 points.
If everybody writes trust, everybody gets 2 points.
If two people write take, they each get 2 points and the two people that wrote trust get 0.
If only one person writes take, they get 4 points and everybody else gets 0.
If three people write take and one writes trust, the three people each get 1 point and the trust gets 0.

So that’s really not at all how that goes i think, but you get the gist: if everybody stands up and doesn’t coward out and chooses to trust everybody, the net take home is literally double. But if the more people that greed, the less available.

The gist is just that the system is only shitty because of selfish greed and fear and cowardice.

I looked it up, i guess there’s a bunch of variants but the core game is called the dictator game?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictator_game

Which is a derivative of the “ultimatum game”?

They’re all interesting and slightly different versions of the same game to see how shitty or good people are and what causes it. It’s all psychology and economics. Highly suggest reading the dictator game’s “variants” section, as it’s pretty fascinating.

“Betrayal aversion” is a neat new term.

Yeah, but one option perpetuates the problem by living on your knees and you acting out of complacent consent of the actions that LITERALLY YOU ARE DOING

Can somebody explain to me why you don’t want to push the employee to push his boss? Like, I know it won’t go anywhere because hoff has his head hup his hass, but so often it becomes a proxy war anyway and people down below refuse to push back because they wanna lick the boot that the enemy hides behind. We’re not mad at anybody but spez, but if we can get people to quit supporting him, that’s just an unfortunate place to be in for that employee to be in, but they’re still representing and serving and acting on direction from that fucking wreck of a human hoffman.

I see both sides of it. It’s like the guards that protect and serve the tyrant king. You let them hurt you or you motivate people to never serve the bastard again.

The guard may not be an evil person like the tyrant king, BUT THEY’RE STILL DOING HIS BIDDING. Give the guard the option to step aside, and if they choose not to, then they, too, are a bad cop nazi, and need to be taken out. I hate it, and normally things aren’t actual dichotomies, but in this case, it’s 100% “us vs them”.

Nobody does what spez does without help and compliance. Force the workers out and you starve the company.

Am I wrong here? Am I off the mark? Is this just really old/conservative thinking? Has nobody read the art of war? I have sympathy for those without choice, but these admins are people too, and have brains and freedom of choice and they’re choosing to continue. Stop making excuses for people to be shitty in society.

I’m sick and tired of people living in fear and cowardly going along with shit we all know is wrong. I’m absolutely sick of it.

I know it would absolutely suck to be in that position, I would hate it, and probably eventually get fired or leave. But at least I’d know I did the best I could do. But you cant tell me nobody there saw any of this coming. Nobody spoke up? Nobody said, “spez you’re a fucking idiot and you’re going to ruin us all”? There’s got to be at least one person like this, as the leaked message came from somewhere. One person with a semblance of a spine.

How much more will the 1% take from us before we realize how to stop it? Will it be too late? Will we ever realize it? How bad will it get?

I think this place and the fediverse we’re in now is supposed to be based in anti censorship? So you should theoretically be able to just outright say you hope he dies? I’m not actually sure on that though. Any mods or admins here if you want to correct me, please do. Because, I do hope abbott chokes on a brussel sprout and dies. Him, desantis, trump, and carlson can all join limbaugh in the forever nothing with the rest of the fucking nazis. They can all fight strokes and lose. Again, mods, let me know if this isn’t okay, I’ll gladly check myself hahaha. (I’m not used to being able to say stuff like this and it feels… dirty or wrong to just say)
