And while you can shape the direction of travel genetically and socially, you can't fully control it as you're only playing as the head of your dynasty (until they die, and then you play as their heir etc. etc.)

So sometimes you die, and then have to play as your own idiot nepo baby son.

Yesterday on @ck-game.bsky.social I stuck my 2 year old son in the dungeon until he expired. Just because I wanted his smarter 15yo sister to inherit the throne.

Now she's using murder and mayhem to keep the Abbasids at bay.

I'm with Richard. Sometimes you need to use the "downstairs nursery".

A normal person would see a big chunk of money and think about what they could get with it. The goods and services they can exchange.

Perhaps, they'll wonder if there's a way to make that money grow over time at a good rate.

They probably *won't* think to immediately light it on fire.

One way of thinking about finance is:

You have $10 in your pocket. You ask someone for a $100 loan, pointing to the money you have. They give you the loan.

You go up to another person and point to the $110 you have and ask them for a $1,000 loan. They give it to you.

That works short-term, but as an idealist, I'd like to think a better, more durable structure that works better in the long term for more people is possible!

I will always respect any group that does shit like this. I once pissed off a guy who played the tuba on Twitter and I don’t know where he got this backup or how he signaled them but there were so many guys in bowties on my ass immediately.

My dream is a truly democratic social network, one that doesn't just respond to user complaints and backlash after the fact, but that has a built-in mechanism to allow users true input and empowerment in its governance. And also, per Cory Doctorow, true interoperability.

Hey everyone, just wanted to say nice to see everyone here—the vibes are infinitely better at Bluesky than just about anywhere else (at least for me)

I do think we will need to press leadership here for clarity on governance and interoperability issues. How do we ensure this doesn't turn into X?

Omigod this. I know it’s a twice-told tale at this point, but the way they use “elite” is completely divorced from reality.
Remember, the “elites” like Cardi B and Eminem are behind Harris while Trump relies on salt-of-the-earth working-class Regular Americans like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel.

Cool so you want the guy who will finish that genocide off immediately and imprison anyone who disagrees, or you want the woman who you can at least protest and put pressure on to end it? Always a guy like you in every reply section acting like you’re the first person to discover that shit sucks

Like the oracle at Delphi, I would argue that Moo Deng’s prophecies are more open to interpretation.

My house has a switch in the living room that controls the fan in an upstairs bathroom?!!! It's a small fan you would only use when taking a shower/bath so I don't know why you would need to control it from downstairs.
