If you ask pro-capitalist people why a job like, say, sanitation work has such an abysmal wage even though the job is necessary, they’ll tell you that it is an unskilled occupation. We could contest that, but for the sake of argument, let’s concede. By this logic, value is derived from how much labor is required to accomplish something—in this case, the labor of learning the skill in addition to the labor of completing the task at hand. A doctor, then, would earn a much higher wage because of the labor required to obtain the necessary degrees to practice. Okay. But then, if you ask a pro-capitalist people again why the price of a pair of glasses, a mattress, or even a bottle of water is so expensive, despite these things being cheap and easy to make, they’ll tell you that value is not determined by the labor that goes into producing something, but by need and demand. This inconsistency reveals how neoliberal economics functions: the value of something means whatever is most convenient for the ruling class.
If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon.
Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.
It leaves our workers unprotected and our streets less safe. It's time for a change.
I'm proud to support the Delivery Protection Act to crack down on exploitative subcontracting and build an economy that works for everyone.
whales never use generative AI, but they do make poop from a butt, which is similar except that whale poop is essential to the health of our oceans and generative AI is essential to being a fucking loser
Exactly this. Gen AI is trained on actual art made by actual artists. Unfortunately, it can and will occasionally produce good looking images because it's stealing from the best of the best, so you've gotta hate it for its moral failings.
your critique of ai cannot be entrenched in aesthetics because there will be a time when you see an ai image or hear an ai song and think "that looks/sounds good". your critique of ai must always be entrenched in the poisonous effect it has on people's brains and the planet.

Since PS6 is going all digital, just get a PC.
Both will be expensive af but you don't need to pay to play online on PC, games discounts are WAY better, far more options and can run even better if you've got the hardware.
Let Playstation have a Wii U generation.
This can happen to literally any American, at any time, and there are no consequences for the executor and no Justice for the Victim. If one of us is at risk, we are ALL at risk.
Idk why anyone even cares about wf raiders at this point tbh. I feel like every ultimate, they just prove themselves to be one of the lamest parts of the community.
22 yrs ago today, after a long zoning dispute with local officials that ruined his business, welder Marvin Heemeyer had enough & created the Killdozer.
He destroyed the mayor’s house, the judge’s house, town hall, the police station, & the bank - while avoiding hurting civilians or their property.
Happy Killdozer Day to those who celebrate 🎊
So many of these replies lack imagination, this would actually be awesome as side content. Like, set up a phased fight with a custom queue system where you predetermine which jobs people switch to in certain phases, and make the phases have different party comp requirements.
I think a cool mechanic that FFXIV misses out on is job changing during encounters to do mechanics.
Seems like a unique tool they could use for the system that already exists.
Like having one or two players have to swap to fishing during a boss phase to prevent big AOE.
