I expect the great leap forward in LLMs and AI art to dramatically change this at some point. They can already write pretty interesting plot with OK prompting, surely only a matter of time before someone is able to wrap that in a game.

We all just read an article about it, so this is obviously the most impactful and public place these people could have possibly gone to protest…

And most often high costs mean higher ROI. The wind farm doesn’t get continued funding precisely because it produces electricity when supply is high and hence prices are low. Electricity is not worth the same at all times; you can sell your coal fired watts when the wind speeds are low and the unit price jumps up. Instead of trying to solve the hard problem of storing electricity to fill the intermittency gap, capitalism takes the easy way out of burning fossil fuels unless you force it not to by regulating.

Euchre can be gambled on right? So at least there is some angle where it’s “undesirable”.

Oh no we all think everest ascent is stupid too. Absolutely it’s in poor taste. Is this your first time on the Internet?

Eh its a meme at this point. Everyone knows to what you’re referring and recognises the shared experience of overconfident stupid people. Everyone educated on the topic understands that it’s a pop psychological misrepresentation of some very interesting work.

I wouldn’t say it shows a lack of education. If anything it’s more prevalent in populations that have had an excess of a certain type of unhelpful “executive” education.

People died because of their hubristic and needlessly extravagant hobby: visiting the wreck of a vessel that famously killed people because of hubris and needless extravagance. Sure I’m not laughing out loud or celebrating their death, but you must admit there’s at least a wry irony here.

It’s kinda poetic for them to go down next to the titanic, itself a story of complacency and excess/opulance.
