Wish we didn't have to roll the dice for access to decent mental healthcare. Glad you managed to luck out!

Should we say 'India' or 'Bharat'? in c/askchapo@hexbear.net
[–] LarsAdultsen@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago

AFAIK, the use of Bharat is considered to be a form linguistic imperialism foisted by the plains-dwellers upon the rest of the country.

It's Philosophy Tube! Rather, a bit about a snooty brit being condescending towards Chinese philosophy in Philosophy Tube's video about Confucius.

Whatever happened to the Google union? in c/askchapo@hexbear.net
[–] LarsAdultsen@hexbear.net 10 points 7 months ago

Can't say I'm surprised. Just a horde of cut-throat individualists in tech, it's a miracle they even reached 1400 members.

There was this huge hullabaloo about Google employees forming a union, but I'm assuming that went nowhere considering how ruthless the company was with it's layoffs. Anyone got the full scoop?

Why did the US bother sending troops to Europe during the Second World War? in c/askchapo@hexbear.net
[–] LarsAdultsen@hexbear.net 3 points 7 months ago (4 children)

That sounds plausible but I’m not entirely convinced that the Soviets in the 40s could spook the US into mobilising at such scale.

AFAIK, their war lay primarily in the Pacific, and beyond supporting the Brits and Russians materially, I’m not really sure why the US would want to involve themselves physically in the European theatre. I do feel fear of Germans beating them to the bomb might have something to do with it, but that’s just conjecture.

Anybody try DMing to a posse of players controlled by ChatGPT (hexbear.net)
 

I like solo play, was wondering if I can spice things up by throwing an LLM in the mix. The way I tried currently becomes messy real soon, so I was wondering if someone who's successfully tried something like this could give me some pointers
