@suzannealdrich @DaveMWilburn thats the "sunk cost" fallacy. the hope that things will go your way just because you put so much time and effort into it

[suzannealdrich@hachyderm.io]

@Viss
That’s because they used to feel some kind of shame. At least for a few decades, we’d been able to normalize being a decent human being instead of a bigot or misogynist. That got rolled back by the anti woke brigade.

@Viss @suzannealdrich

Yeah, but the "things" that you hope to get your way in this case are people and your relationships with them, and arguably that's worth a bit more. I have respect for the folks that put their effort into this. I just don't think that's my vocation. I don't have the patience or inclination for it.

@da_667 @Viss thought I got to the point of reference while watching. Then I got to the point of reference 🤣

@Viss @da_667

omg... this is like flashing back to my D&D character when I was 14.

[undead@masto.hackers.town]

@Viss @da_667

When we retired the character, he became a demigod weaponsmith. Mostly because all of the other dieties, infernal and celestial, just wanted to keep him really busy and out of their way.

@undead @da_667 haha like being promoted to get you the hell out with less struggle

[undead@masto.hackers.town]

@Viss @da_667

He knew that was going on, so he made weapons for both sides (chaotic neutral), perfectly usable, but with subtle curses like "gotta take that extra swing" or "this girdle of strength will let me carry a little more through this swamp". Eventually the gods got wise, and gave them away.

Seeded them throughout various campaigns. Hilarious results!

@Viss LOL I bet that cost $45 a can.

[thejikz@infosec.exchange]

@Viss Open Sourca-Cola!

[viss@mastodon.social]

@ai6yr probably more!

[hawaii@mastodon.world]

@Viss This is a bigger problem than we realize. I've been putting off upgrading my phone, and am seriously considering getting a Boox Palma and a landline instead.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@Hawaii get a non carrier phone. perhaps the nothing phone or a oneplus15. theres also a linux phone out there now

[paco@infosec.exchange]

@Viss Remember that everyone who said this would happen was overreacting.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@paco sssshhhh you'll spook the investors!

[duplexmismatch@infosec.exchange]

@Viss This sounds like the time I wasted 4 hours following Terraform documentation and ended up basically hand-rolling the exact wrong kind of VM in a scratch Azure instance because it was the only thing that actually worked.

Once it was up and running I deleted the instance (through the web interface, obvs) , shut my computer all the way down, and took a walk to think about my life.
