Instead of "How are You?" try these Dystopia-Friendly alternatives:

  • I see you're awake, my condolences

  • I hope you have some strong coffee

  • I can't wait for the aliens to invade the earth

  • You need to find a seamstress for your raiding party

  • Did any of your crops survive the heatwave?

  • I sure hope this reality is just a simulation

The horrors persist, but so do I.

These are written by someone who thinks it's normal that people in games just blurt out something like "patrolling the Mojave makes you wish for a nuclear winter" as you approach.

Mellow greetings. What seems to be your boggle?

I'm assuming it's that your raiding party are the people you do direct action with, and having a seamstress among you is super useful and important because they can not only create and mend clothes and other useful items like blankets and tents and banners, but in a real bind they could potentially sew up a wound, too!

Tailoring is a profession, are they tank healer or DPS?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

None of the above. They're stealth assassins.

The gom jabbar makes for a great sewing needle

I’m very much out of touch with most popular shows and games and such lol

Having said that, I looked it up, and if you're asking seriously and not just making a reference that's gone over my head, I think the answer could be any really, depending on the person and what other skills they have.

Right, thanks. I thought it was making reference to some media piece or something else

[–] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

Oh, it might be! I'm very much out of touch with most popular shows and games and such lol

IMO recent US events are fairly solid evidence that we're in a simulation, and somebody is fucking with us.

Hey, I used that 3rd one this week!

[–] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago

Dystopia hipster lol, you were doing it before it was cool!

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

lol those same aliens watching earth and seeing what we’re doing

Are you vertical?

This reality is a simulation. But it's not electronic like the Matrix, it's social. You've been socially conditioned to see what the owning class want you to see.
