**Reading All-Star**

Systemic failure we’re all dealing with. You did all you were told to do, you went to school, you sat down, you listened and you got the degree. Then maybe you got the job, maybe you just now lost the job, and the wages didn’t keep up with inflation, so you can’t get the house and you can’t get the family, too expensive.

Everything got expensive, then the world complains why you aren’t having any children, why you’re not consuming. You turn on the tv or your podcasts and you see illiterate people get platformed spouting nonsense about conspiracy theories and to do your research.

Then you see this comic and you see the connection. You see that a promise was broken. You did your part but the system ripped you off. You’re angry or depressed. It’s time to take action. Vote for Count Binface.

Palworld is now the second ever game to hit 2 million concurrent players on Steam

It’s a very fun, silly, well-made game with a very addictive loop where you’re given a lot of small, easily achievable tasks that have you going: “one more and I’m done”.

On Sunday I played for 13 hours. I don’t know if they have a team of psychologists that found out how to make the game addictive, but the results speak for themselves.

It’s a fun and beautiful place to explore, full of vibrant colors and cute pals. Your base building is not boring because the boring resource gathering is automated by your pal slaves. It scratches optimization itches, and you also get raided which can result in hilarious outcomes that give you an opportunity to rebuild and organize your base more efficiently.

Engineers wanted: Mexico looks to join the global semiconductor race

They’ve had decades of brain drain because of all the insecurity and corruption. Currently I don’t see that reversing, it’s very ingrained. I hope they find a way of providing better opportunities, demographically it’s a young country so maybe they can make something work for them.

But oof is it gonna be an uphill battle when your government works against you by not supporting education, security, infrastructure.

Scientists detect a sharp acceleration in global warming

Reply in thread

I’ve read that the models used to predict the rate of change were too optimistic or an assumption about them was too conservative and thus not very realistic. Now we have data showing the models under-predicted the rate of change, so one argument is that we were already on this path since decades ago, we just didn’t model it right.

In any case, we’re all fucked so who gives a shit anyway no?

Is there a name for when we know what the right thing to do is but we keep not doing it?
