The main argument is that we are in a system of people who are way more powerful than us, and have largely taken away our options until we agree. We’re facing widespread protests and international strikes right now because we don’t like the options they’ve given us, and we’re trying to change the system.
Just because somebody takes away your options until you agree, doesn’t mean they aren’t forcing you. Just because you happen to be satisfied with what you have, doesn’t mean that something better is not being denied from you, even though it is possible for you to have it.
Then you are extremely lucky, as am I. I have enough money saved up that I took a break.
However, something like 40% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and just don’t have that option. The threat of poverty is constantly chasing them. When you’re in that situation, you will take the best option available even if it’s garbage or next to garbage.
I know my enemies
They’re the teachers who taught me to fight me:

✔ Conformity
✔ Assimilation
✔ Submission
✔ Ignorance
✔ Hypocrisy
✔ Brutality
✔ The elite
I will tell you, it’s the most delicious pie ever, but you can’t eat more than 1/8th at a time without feeling blah. The good part is that it can be frozen and it’s BETTER after freezing. Like a pie made of resees ice cream.
I don’t think it was intentional, the dev seemed to be struggling with health-related problems and possibly burnout. But yeah, definitely a depressing moment for an otherwise really cool project.
From the article it sounds like her health took a huge downward turn. Hope she is okay, and even if the project is dead Id like confirmation at some point that she isnt.
The project is cool but her health is more important
Thanks, fixed. Posting was a little broken earlier, and I made some incorrect assumptions about manually entering in metadata for the link (Kbin lets you upload the thumbnail manually).
Running it in a test environment and then not having users test (vendor upgrade, in-house internal-facing app, or integration), and then being ordered to put it in prod, then people start mentioning the things they should’ve been mentioning all along. Can’t blame them, as our timelines are short and every department is overworked and varying degrees of being understaffed.
