The voting with your feet only works if people know there is another (viable) option, which is what I was getting at with the forking idea.

Idk much about the mod or really the op in the referenced post, I was taking more generally; I've seen a few small communities turn into little fiefdoms.

Liberals are bad
But the conservatives are even worse and that says a lot.

God I wish JT actually followed through on his original campaign promise of election reform.

I actually kinda like that, because when the VAs are being cringy and shitty, I can't tell. All I get is the emotion of the delivery.

And in the past, very passionate or emotional performances were really cringy in English, so I would prefer listening to the original VAs for the delivery of emotion and tone, and read the subs for the meaning.

It took me a long time to actually come up with a decent submission. I wasn't super clear what the theme is, and then once I came up with ideas I had a hard time actually generating what I wanted lol.

Here I was going for both the literal "upside down" aspect, and also Stranger Things "upside down" vibes.

I was really hoping that I could get the dude in the reflection to be removed or be different, but I couldn't seem to get both that and everything else I wanted in the same image

MS copilot designer prompta man in a hazmat suit falls through a puddle into a spooky alternate reality. in contrast, the reflection in the puddle shows a cheerful metropolis. the man is still falling through the air. the scene is very surreal.

I mean, it's pronounced like it's spelled except for the Z.

Language snobs will be snobby.

Meanwhile sublinks will enjoy a much much larger potential developer pool; how many people are actually proficient in Rust? It's an awesome language and it's getting more popular, but it's nowhere near the experience base of java.

I think the concern being solved is: In capitalism AI makes owners lives better and workers lose jobs. In communism AI makes workers lives better because they're all the owners.

Certainly not all the issues. And in theory.

Capitalism is about taking everything you can, to act as a balance against everyone else doing the same, because the fundamental assumption is that greed is the natural state for people and we shouldn't try to fight it. Under capitalism, competition doesn't just apply to businesses in markets, it extends to everything: people must compete with those around them for resources (be it jobs, or food, or retirement investments), making human connection a primarily adversarial relationship.

Now nothing says that you must apply capitalist principals to every aspect of your life if you live in a capitalist society, but it slowly becomes the norm. Eventually, the reason people take care of eachother because is indirectly benefits themselves, rather than because its a good thing to do... And when that's your justification, it's easy to stop doing it.

It's all about establishing norms about how people should treat eachother. Under capitalism the norm is adviseraial by design, but under communist it was supposed to be cooperative. It didn't even up working that way, but that is the ideal we should strive towards.
