I'm definitely one of the ones alienated by the OGL shit. However, since I haven't had a group since and my hyperfocus on TTRPGs/DnD ended, I don't actually have any idea what people moved to, and this article talks abstractly but doesn't mention any examples.

What are some actual systems that encourage ease of DMing, that this article would call "fifth generation TTRPG"?

Doom doom doom, doom do doom, doom do doom

So you're saying that full-time jobs are the problem, not AI?

What if AI took over everything and provided everything for you, so you could focus on doing whatever you want, including art, not needing a full time job anymore?

It's just much more profitable for record labels to have a few superstars than thousands of mini-stars. A usual person won't follow and buy from 100 music artists. They'll buy from 1 to 10 or whatever. Having large fandoms allows you to sell more tertiary things like plush toys and shit like that, it wouldn't be feasible to do that for thousands of artists.

Large fandoms also make people feel like they belong, when there's a Swiftie fanclub in any small town with dozens of people there's a community, if only 1 person in a town were a fan of a specific artist, even if there's 1 in every town, the networking effect would just be basically nonexistent.

And in general there's just too many amazing musicians. People love making music and as such there's an oversupply. In addition to the above points that's just capitalist supply and demand in play.

But is he stopping her from growing, having dreams, goals, excitement? He just said so far that he doesn't want to earn more money. That has literally nothing to do with what you just said.

I think expecting to get these things from your partner instead of working towards them yourself is very toxic.

I would indeed say nobody is the asshole here, but your girlfriend is very immature and lacks self-awareness.

People in general want status and wealth. Both are useful things to have in life, status gives you people to help you do what you want and wealth gives you resources to do what you want.

Your girlfriend wants those things and she doesn't feel like she got them, even though objectively, if you can sustain yourself without working, you're very wealthy. But it doesn't feel like that because you can probably barely sustain yourself, i.e. you can't go on cruises every 2 months and buy sports cars.

This is obviously a very materialistic and imo toxic worldview/desire, even though it's very pervasive throughout our society.

But the more specific thing imo here is how women's attraction works. This is not a universal thing, but most women are very attracted by ambition or drive, because it is a signal that you will be able to provide for a family. This is not a rational attraction, i.e. it doesn't matter if you're already rich and could potentially provide, the attraction for even more ambition as a character trait is still there.

Then what many women also want is a man to "follow". Maybe daddy issues. They want a man to look up to, one that is strong, smart, good, confident, ambitious, a leader. Most often more than themselves. That's why she says she can't work when you don't work. She wants you to remain in this "superior" attractive position, which wouldn't be the case if she worked and you didn't.

So in my opinion, she's essentially trying to make you more attractive to her so she can stay with you, because she likes you and how her life is set up. But she's unaware how toxic that is. She's unaware how her attraction works. She's extremely materialistic. She seems very entitled imo. I would say she's the asshole, but at the same time I can't quite blame her either, because all these things are very often what society tells you is good or happen very naturally, and you have to be exposed to certain ideas and do a lot of self-reflection to get away from this thinking.

It's up to you to figure out what to do here. I probably would tell her all these things and see how she reacts. I certainly wouldn't change anything I'm doing if I was in your position.

Because this is not log or debug data as OP said. In any case, what do you think would happen with this data? It will be analyzed by some sort of tool because no one could manually look at this much text data. In text, this can be like 1MB of data per second. So in a normal eye tracking session, probably hundreds of MB. The problem isn't the storage space, but the time it will take to read that in and analyze it each time, forcing you to wait for processing or use lots of memory while reading it. And anyway, in most languages, it's actually much easier to store the number values directly (in 8 bytes not the 30something this text representation uses) than to convert them to JSON, all languages have some built-in way to do that. And even if not, sqlite is piss-easy and does everything for you, being as simple as JSON.

There is just no reason to do it like that unless you just don't think about what you're doing or have no clue.

It may not be using androids URL opening functionality but directly opening the app itself, which is possible. Would be good to know the apps involved.

For me it's when I think about whether it's time to end a relationship

If I buy a bunch of apples and one is bad, then I simply don't eat the one apple and throw it away. Similarly, if there's one bad cop I just imprison it based on their illegal actions.

The thing with the US police force is that enough of them are bastards, and nothing is done against their behavior, that you always have to assume that any one of them is a bastard. If it was only rare single bad cops and they would be immediately removed on first infraction, I'm sure there would not be a problem with the police.

This is the rational truth and I think it was very simply expressed, without needing to say "All cops" nor "one bad cop makes everything terrible". There is theoretically no need for generalizations in intelligent discussion. The problem is that many people are too stupid or not interested in intelligent discussion, at which point these generalizations might become necessary simply because of practical limitations. But we should strive to use the more accurate statement if possible.

The last time I remember stuff like this happened, it was because of addon conflicts, fresh Firefox with only ublock origin "fixed it" for many people, indicating some other addon was the problem.
