But aren't a lot of Google services highly dependent on one another? They certainly share data with each other, at least. How much Internet infrastructure will be thrown out with the bath water?

Y'know, if they weren't a monopoly and several now-different groups had need or reason to share data, I'm pretty sure someone could work something out. Particularly given I'm pretty sure I vaguely remember hobbyist groups doing basically exactly that, nevermind folks actually paid to do it. It'd be less throwing out internet infrastructure and more maybe mild disruption... if that. The communication in question may be neither needed nor desirable outside the context of a singular company.

I had no idea they were making new ducktales episodes.

Yeah, the lighter stuff made filling up your kit pretty easy. Iirc there's a light trinket combination or two that adds strength, too, whch makes it even easier.

... so far as cheesing things to get access, well... cheat engine easily finds inventory values and the research bonus miiiight just be all you need for it to do its thing. Just throwin' that out there

I mean. I'd certainly rather be reading or playing video games (or hell, cleaning up around the house or some shit) instead of sleeping, yes. This isn't some kind of tricky consideration, being largely immobile and nonfunctioning for multiple hours straight is a pain in the arse made tolerable only by being unconscious during and (hopefully) rested afterwards.

I'm pretty sure it'd actually be pretty easy to get folks to collectively tell employers to go fuck themself if they tried to encroach on that extra time, too, if that's a concern. Despite all the shit involved with the degeneration of workers rights over the last while in some countries, there's a pretty serious backlash developing against 80 hour workweek bullshit. That wouldn't exactly weaken if you introduced another 8*7 hours of available time to the labor market.

E: Actually, thinking on it slightly more, if whatever solution genuinely managed to mitigate or eliminate exhaustion in the process (and was easily accessed, which would be required for major market disruption anyway), I'd just about guarantee worker mobilization would keep things in line. Two of the biggest roadblocks for low end workers is tiredness and not having enough hours in the day. Cure one with the possibility of curing the other and shit would have to go massively wrong for it to not result in a massive spike in political involvement, involvement with a slant incredibly inclined towards not continuing to put up with exploitative bullshit.

In the dark future of the twenty first century, there are only males, and the squeaking of their buttered flesh.

Saw whores is now a thing... and fuck, there's porn of it.

The lone ruleger rides again. _{his mask is just the number 34 taped to his forehead and yes it's a he; the female ruleger is 63}

It's like someone strapped a shark fin to a whore's boot.

E: *raises finger* ... saw-whore's? I guess if you rent out sawhorses and put footwear on them...?

... man, you say tilt the odds and all I can think is darkest dungeons pinball.* Press button to challenge the RNG to a short game of pinball to change the results of a bad roll, command characters to attack the machine to tilt. Attack too much and the machine goes tilt, grows teeth, and tries to eat everyone.

Actually pretty sure there's been a non-pinball game at some point with the tilt "mechanic", too, now that I think of it. Probably something similar for slot game derivatives. I'm just saying you could roll with this even without the pinball minigame.

* E: mostly because i just woke up and misread tip as tilt

i like that reading better so whatever
