Sometimes people wear things for themselves.

Yes, that’s what I said. I’m not defending capitalism.

Socialism and communism, in theory, are structured to prioritize the needs of the people over profit or power. That slogan captures that ideal beautifully. However, history shows that the implementation of these systems falls short of their ideals. Issues like bureaucratic inefficiency, corruption, or the consolidation of power within ruling parties have led to systems that still reward the powerful or productive, just in different ways. I’d argue that the challenge isn’t the system itself but the difficulty of designing any system that fully aligns with such principles while addressing the complexities of human behavior and societal needs. Capitalism embraces it while socialism and communism pay lip service to ideals while also committing the same sins in practice. My point that it’s not exclusive to capitalism remains.

within a capitalist society

Besides slavery, I cannot think of any successful societal system to date that did not prioritize rewarding the productive and/or powerful. Not saying that you’re wrong, just that it’s far from exclusive to capitalism. (The bar for “success” here being a society that exists over many generations)

This ain’t the war thunder forums, pal

Oh, look, a post on Lemmy about Windows. I’m excited to engage in a unique, nuanced discussion about the topic of the post!

So glad I’m not on Reddit where people just repeat the same predictable thing over and over then jerk each other off.

(I use Linux too. But I hate seeing copy+paste Linux shilling on every Windows post. It’s preaching to the choir and uninspired.)

We’ve had thousands of troops stationed in the tel-aviv base for decades… This isn’t anything new. That’s why it’s a click bait headline

Human: rearranges words and phrases they have learned over the course of their existence 😙👌 masterpiece

Computer: rearranges words and phrases they have learned over the course of their existence 😡 plagiarism

Exactly! Back in my day, people used to fill up my gas for me and carry my things up to my hotel room. Young people are getting lazy and entitled! Corporations need to make them work harder. Makes it hard to humiliate the poors if they make ME do the work.

Better to have ads pushed down our collective throats than let collectivists have us by the throat. An ‘unregulated’ market lets us choose whether or not to use them, instead of justifying their necessity to avoid censorship.

Thank God for cars. Imagine riding public transport and getting felt up/robbed/harassed. Glad we can all agree on this Lemmy 👍

Obviously this is the worst of both worlds, but it’s a weird flex to support cars.

Zomboid was originally inspired by CDDA. Much of the game flow and ideas are 1 to 1 copies. The biggest difference is that CDDA is a turn based game that is played on tiles (think rogue or nethack). From the inventory system to crafting to base construction to reading books, it’s all there.

Oh. Except bites aren’t instant death. There’s no zombie virus. Dead bodies rise up (including yours!). You can still get infections and die from them, but you can also just clean your wounds. 1v1-ing a zombie is suicide though unless you have a decent weapon.

Also, zombies evolve… So they scale well into the late game. Having a zombie hulk throw you through a concrete wall and breaking every bone in your body is usually lethal.

this is a comic man, you might be reading into it more than the artist intended… I was bullied in high school by a single, lone dude lots of times.

lol whoops. I do like the idea of that tho.

If you’re enjoying Project Zomboid, you might want to check out Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead (CDDA). It’s a fantastic open-world survival game with a similar vibe, but it offers a lot more depth and complexity in its gameplay mechanics. Best part? CDDA is free and open-source.

Partners are the stupidest fuckers on the planet. I won’t name names, but I have sicced my governance team on fucking http (NO S) websites, usage of certificate pinning, public-facing databases! (Protected by a shitty 2000’s-era username+password login interface) transferring credit card numbers in CLEAR TEXT. I swear I’ve seen every possible idiotic move from partners.

Banking network engineer here: Never give out your login details. Not to your mom. Not to your brother. Not to me. Not to a company. Not to a random guy in India. Don’t do it.

So what’s out there then?

GM dependent, of course,

Prestidigitation RAR can’t change your clothes. That’s the level 1 spell disguise self. It could change the color, but it should still be fairly obvious that you’re the same person. Personally If I did allow it, I would require a very hard bluff check to convince them that you aren’t the same person. Not even a disguise check. If you used a disguise kit though, I would probably let it slide depending on how many people the guards have interacted with since.

Are you enjoying cotct? Ive ran it twice and it’s one of my favorite campaigns of all time.
