Everyone loves the idea of a benevolent central planning authority but no one can actually point to history where that has happened and a society was better off for it. Robert Moses and New York State/City/Long Island 8:the canonical example of why it doesn’t work. It’s a fairy tale.

Thankfully, the Whammy seems a lot more benevolent than a mummy bite

Honestly Deb Haaland needs to be Benevolent Sec'y of Interior For Life

It's Indigenous Peoples Day, I made a post as your friendly social media manager. Oh god the Columbus stans. Oh god the benevolent racists.

I didn’t explore the detail with her (you just nod and make sympathetic noises in those circumstances don’t you?). I’ll ask the branch chair or secretary to follow up though. We have a good benevolent fund in the Fellowship which not enough people access.

basically though we need guido van rossum and DHH to go against matt mullenweg in a caged match with a steel chair in the ultimate battle to prove who truly is the best "benevolent dictator for life"

I could have really have dunked on you there you know but I am kind and benevolent

Finally recovered on Unrealfest and spending 95% of my time finishing up the open world for Project Titan; terrain sculpting, PCG, layout and propwork for the most part. It’s like being a benevolent god moonlighting as a production designer and is oddly relaxing to do.
