…so hierarchy ensures abuse of [its] power.

Very well put.

I have a discussion with my wife every so often about what our own little utopian island would be like, like how the government would be, how roads would be managed, what homes would be like, etc. I brought up the other day this exact point about how if there’s a position of wealth and power at the top controlling too much, then sociopths would gravitate towards that for the same of having power and wealth, which ruins the government system. It would have to be a heavily distributed system of government, but too distributed where it would make it difficult to implement standardizations, get stuff done, etc.

Idk how that would work exactly, because then you’d also have to make sure no greedy, power hungry Trump-likes get into a position with too much power. There has to be a way, though.

ITT: A lot of people who have no clue what ODD is.

Yeah, I would not be surprised if they tried to escalate “Trump Derangement Syndrome” to this level.

Yes, indeed - it encompasses parantheses, brackets, and braces.

What website would we mail order it from?

What an enterprise to join!

No longer a teen, but I remember liking the information laid out by https://www.bls.gov/ooh/

It broke down stats around career prospects, the education requirements to get into that career, the outlook of future job prospects in that career, etc. I didn’t really care too much about what job I worked, just that I had one, and then I could at least enjoy my life outside of it comfortably. I found a few that seemed interesting to me and worked to those. I think having it all laid out for them would be helpful for them to make their own informed decisions.

Same, I was incredibly impressed that installing Linux ended up getting them a masters degree in business admin, and then realized they meant Macbook Air. I was let down a little, but still happy to see life of technology extended further.

That is a dream for me. Thowe pads are the best from what I hear, but they’re so expensive! I haven’t tried itgmania, just mainly stepmania. Tried outfox a long time ago, though it might be different now and I should probably give that another shot.

Do you have any customization on your StepManiaX pads? You can do stuff with the patterns it shows when pressing a panel, yeah?

ITT: One half providing helpful insight into healthy physical activities, the other half total assholes ripping into this person for not being a jock.

Some people have been living sedantary life styles, the reasons for such can range from lack of interest to mental illness. Some people get a good dopamine hit from exercise. For others, exercise is a pretty miserable experience.

If someone is reaching out to seek advice on how to improve their lives, lend a helping hand. Please don’t be an asshole.

DDR, Stepmania X, and Pump It Up are awesome and I very highly recommend! If you don’t have easy access to an arcade near you, you can download Stepmania and play on the PC. If you don’t have a pad to hook up to the PC, you can turn on Autoplay and just pretend that there’s a pad under you. You can also just pretend there’s a pad under you while you watch a youtube video (or whatever other platform if they’re there).

Right? What the fuck is with the comments in this.

The fact that fear exists is a reason to stand up against the government.

Found the middle management testing out their interview question about creativity.

That diagram isn’t making sense. The tube goes directly from the stomach to the anus? Everything else is just ignored? Either I’m missing something or this is AI slop.

Exactly. The post calls them being cheap a good thing, but when you know about the slave wages, idk if them being this cheap is that much of a positive.

A lot of people just know that one song from the Beetlejuice movie, but it’s about the workers in banana plantations:
“Come Mr. tally man! Tally me banana.
Daylight come and me wanna go home.”

TIL Lemmings are an actual creature and not just from the PC game Lemmings! I’m guessing that’s why it’s named “Lemmy” and then has a logo of a rodent. I just thought it was a random name and a drawing of a mouse this whole time.
