*knocking on it*

“Yup. It’s wood aright”

Since it can’t be LG anymore - what’s a good TV screen for gaming?

You don’t use it. It uses you.

You don’t need the $in | in that last command. each { str upcase } will already pipe each item to the str upcase command.

So… drows?

Probably, but only because at this point I’m fairly certain reality itself must be a parody of something.

“Doctor! I’m bleeding right here and now!”

*writing down* “last period: today”

With a little effort, one can write bad code in any language.

Not really. If that service costs x2 in compute, it also means it causes x2 pollution.

I see you purchased a washing machine. May I assume you are collecting washing machines? Of course I may. Let me offer you these excellent deals for washing machines!

Maybe the real wasted time is the friends we made along the way?

Most jobs are a pointless waste of time

His journey, on the other hand, is a pointful waste of time.

Science is totally right here, I have no doubt. It’s just… that I have zero regard for my own health.

Wouldn’t they still be disappointed that you are an engineer and not a doctor?

First, that is not your child. It is a fucking elephant.

Finally someone addresses the elephant in the room!

Overworked peasants have neither the time nor the energy to revolt.

If this ever happens, the manufacturer will remotely brick it. Not because they are afraid of AI taking over - they just want to force you to buy a new one from them.

a fridge to me is a cool place

Yes, that is indeed its primary function.

I would want to make sure that everyone has to go through with it, regardless of financial or social status. No “senator’s son” deferments, ya know?

That’s the most delusional idea I’ve seen in this post - and that’s a very high bar to cross. Even if you disregard the fact that said senators are going to be the one fine-tuning the rules (and other rich and powerful people “assisting” them) - keep in mind that the people of the Elite class:

• Have access to lawyers and consultants that can find ways to game the system.
• Have connections with the people in charge inside the system’s hierarchy, allowing them to arrange better treatment for their children.
• Have connections with the people supervising the system.

Their children’s conclusionary service will be more pleasant then your children’s. Trying to make them suffer won’t really work, and you’ll only end up making an already atrocious ordeal worse for everyone else.

Regarding the complaints, I hope you understand that:

• Darker skinned people will get disproportionately more complains. The darker the skin, the more complains you get. You said “verified” complains - but the managers in charge of “verifying” the complains will be more inclined to approving complaints against them.
• Neurodivergent people - depending on the way their neuro diverges - will also get more complains. In this case this increase in complains may even be justified, but… congratulation - you are now punishing them for being neurodivergent. This means, of course, you’ll want a to give them accommodations. Good thing neurodivergent people are all the same, and that the managers in this system will be understanding, so these accommodations will go to who they need to go to and won’t be taken advantage of.
• The people of the Elite class have connections with the people in charge of verifying complaints. Disproportionate amount of the complaints against Elites will be rejected.

This will be good for the ruling class. Rebellious individuals from the lower classes will be punished, shaping them into easier-to-rule-over subjects.

1. What would happen if you reach 25 without hitting the quota of compulsory service hours?
2. What would happen if you get too many “verified complaints”?
