@__drewface I think it's very easy to read X and get the worst impression of people you disagree with. I find myself fearing how many tech folks see normal people as disposable biomass even though I know that's unreasonable
@__drewface I would point out that not taking advantage of a good thing is not equivalent to not doing okay. I'm sure as the internet was emerging old folks were happy even if they weren't with the times
@__drewface Why, given the fact that this tweet already identifies the real, material solution to anti-AI reaction, would you EVER frame the issue as a stubborn lack of gratitude on the part of the anti-AI people?
@real_122109 @sbodrojan Seems to be evening out at about 25k. I'm having fun playing it, which seems better than checking SteamDB daily and touching myself to thoughts of Bungie dying
@okaythenfuture Isn't charity a Christian value? And by that I mean, give away what wealth you possess until it hurts? Camels through needle eyes, and all that.
@Lightenerrthang I actually wonder if it's a little more complicated than that. Yes, it shows respect, but also perhaps a need to never owe anyone anything. Which may be a sign of his own pre-joining rejection of human connection.
@pleometric Unfortunately in my case many of the sleep postures in this paper require a maximal bend of the elbow which compresses my ulnar nerve enough to cause problems. Still, super informative and I think of it regularly!
@realcloverchan@_eyedit@silvqcre What peace of mind can they give, if they (for their various personal reasons) are convinced at the moment the Joining is okay and Carol has declared herself its sworn enemy? If the only time they interacted with her it resulted in the deaths of 100M people?
@realcloverchan@_eyedit@silvqcre It adds a further dimension to Carol grieving Helen - Carol treated the rest of the world like the Joined BEFORE the Joining, Helen just had saint-like patience putting up with Carol's shit and Carol knows that
@realcloverchan@_eyedit@silvqcre Carol's a stranger to these people, and unfortunately what you're expecting requires genuine personal connection. Same way Carol didn't care about the fan crocheting hats for her until she was forced by Zosia to learn the fan's story
