  • My office used to do this, until upper management caught wind and threw an absolute fit over it. Then they paid the building manager to come in and remove the lightswitches so we couldn’t turn the lights off ever again, there’s literally an alarm that goes off if the circuit is broken.

    Yay for having a mild headache every single day!





  • I personally had a lot of luck save-scumming by savequitting the game and copying the files elsewhere at every holy mountain. (there are scripts floating around that make this easier) Then when I died, I could revisit that area without risking much progress, and it made the game much more fun while I tried to scale the truly formidable learning curve.

    Nowadays I feel much more comfortable just doing normal runs, so I guess I ‘graduated’ lol, some understanding of the wand-building goes wayyyyy further than I expected.

    I use Kagi too - they have a feature I haven’t seen before where you can basically optimize your own SEO. You can uprank or downrank any given website to varying degrees based on how much of that site you want to see in your future search results (I use this a lot for game wikis that have since migrated off of Fandom etc, but the stale Fandom page always shows up first in google search).

    They’re also working on a feature to warn you which articles are paywalled directly from the search result, which I will use the hell out of.

    They also have something they call Lenses, which are essentially search profiles that emphasize certain types of results (programming lens upranks stackoverflow, github, and API docs for instance).

    All in all I’ve been extremely pleased with the quality of the product and the directions they’re exploring in. And being able to easily chat up the devs in discord doesn’t hurt either.

    The slippery slope argument is not always a fallacy. The strength of a slippery slope argument relies on the ability to show that the initial action will actually lead to the predicted outcome. The fallacy comes in when connections are drawn between unrelated concepts - an easy example of this is the argument that legalizing abortion will lead to the legalization of murder. In this case, I think it’s pretty likely that making a certain item legal to steal will pave the way for more items to be legal to steal in the future. After all, who decides which items should fall under that law? I’m sure there will be plenty of people with very strong, differing opinions on the topic.
