A big element of what makes play fun is that the outcome of play is inconsequential. If you lose a game of Stellaris to a fanatical purifier, billions of people haven't died in real life. That's also why professional sports start to lose their sense of fun because suddenly billions of dollars in gambling and franchise sales are on the line just over the outcome of a season. Where I'm going with this is that I don't think you can ever sufficiently replace work with play, because the consequences of work have to matter in order to compel labor in the first place. For work to be replaced with play means all responsibilities have to be offloaded to a laboring class, whether that means robots or slaves. Otherwise the gamified society isn't going to be fun either, because the outcome of social games will still determine your class status.

the actual question is even crazier Can I kill my landlord under the castle doctrine? Location: Louisville, KY Back in 2013, I rented my first apartment. Initially, I loved living there, and my landlord seemed OK. He was never a particularly nice guy, but he was reasonable. This was my first time living on my own, so I had no experience and little knowledge about the renting process. About a year or so after I moved in, the landlord started to show his true colors. I saw glimpses of it earlier; he would occasionally snap at me or raise his voice at me for no good reason. But a year into my tenancy, it became clear that he was certifiably insane. One day, he knocked on my door and then after I opened the door he barged in without asking for permission for entry. I asked him what he wanted, but he just sort of lingered around and started screwing with me, yelling at me, insulting me, and threatening me. I eventually pushed him out, and then he left. He later called me and said he was sorry; I thought this was just a one-time fluke incident, but it eventually became clear that he was insincere about his apology. Another day, he knocked on the door, and when I opened the door, he physically assaulted me. I grappled with him for a few moments and then got him in an armlock and threatened to break his arm. He calmed down somewhat. I then released him, punched him in the torso a few times, then kicked him out. He called later and said he was sorry. He than proceeded to follow this same pattern for weeks. He would come to my apartment in the afternoon after I got off work and harass me, and then eventually leave, and then before I had time to fully process the situation he would call me with a calm, reasonable tone and apologize. If at any time he came by and knocked and I didn't open the door, he would use his key to open it and then barge in. He once barged in my apartment and attacked me when I was eating dinner, he once swung open the door when I was using the bathroom, he barged in another time when I was cooking in the kitchen, and another time when I was taking a nap in my bedroom. He would often bring a friend of his with him and then both of them together would enter my home and just stand there and harass me and make fun of me. I would try to physically push them out, but they would resist me and continue to harass me. One time I pushed one of the landlord's friends out of my apartment and then he would just force his way back in, and this process would occur repeatedly. On at least one occasion while this was happening, I got my cell phone out of my pocket and called 911; this caused them to run away but 911 didn't really do anything about the problem and just told me to deal with it myself. He would regularly pick fights with me and then I would literally have to get into an all-out fist fight with him both inside my apartment and out in the yard. Once, he and a friend dropped by and the both of them ended up ganging up on me and seriously trying to hurt me, but I fought them both off. He would do things like this, then later he would call and say he was sorry. Then, as usual, sometime later he would come by and assault me again and then later say he was sorry, and the pattern would continue. He was basically treating me like his personal plaything. During the period in which this was happening, I tried reasoning with him, yelling at him, threatening him, but he would still keep coming back to harass me. I sometimes brandished a kitchen knife or even jabbed him in the stomach with it to scare him. Sometimes I would stick my finger in his eye sockets. On multiple occasions, I fought him and beat him up, punching and kicking him as hard as I could, but he seemed to have an exceptional tolerance for pain and his insanity seemed to dim his instincts for self-preservation, as he appeared to have no fear of bodily injury. I felt trapped and helpless; being my landlord, he knew where I lived, therefore he could just show up anytime he wanted and abuse me, or even enter my apartment with his key if he wanted to. I have since moved out of that place. However, I have been pondering the events that happened. My landlord was extremely disrespectful towards me, about as disrespectful as a person can be. I was a model tenant: I never made any trouble for him and I always paid my rent in full and on time. For him to treat me the way he did was gratuitous and unforgivable. When these things were going on, I was really tempted to kill him for treating me like this. But I kept stopping myself because I didn't know what the legal ramifications would be. At the time, I didn't own any dedicated weapons, like a gun; the most I had was a sharp kitchen knife. Numerous times I considered stabbing him with it. I know there is a thing in the law called the "castle doctrine" that says that people have a right to use violence to defend their homes from invasion, but I'm not sure how this applies to a tenant defending himself in his apartment against his own landlord. It is expected for a landlord to be inside a tenant's apartment from time to time; because of that, I worry that I may have had difficulty defending myself in court if I had killed him while he was inside my apartment. In the absence of video evidence, I don't know whether a jury would favor the tenant or the landlord in that situation. Essentially, my question is: Could I have legally killed my landlord? Also, should I have killed him? I know in hindsight that I probably should have just circumvented the whole issue and moved out after the first attack, but I would like to know what my rights and options are if a landlord were to ever do something like this to me again.

a lot of people's work is already so alienating, that the labor itself is inconsequential from their own perspective. there's only consequences in so far as you will be personally punished for failure, or not meeting expectations, by management. the real difference between work and play isn't consequences, but novelty + 'grind' + discomfort. rote repetition will never be fun, and even things that are fun will cease being fun if you do them for long enough. Scrubbing a toilet will never be fun, etc. if you can make robots do all that, then you can absolutely replace work with play in gay space luxury communism. but that's more a technical challenge than anything else.

Muslim prisoners in Alaska 'fed ham sandwiches by guards' after breaking Ramadan fast it's almost as if everything the US says is true about other countries is actually false and that these things describe the US far more accurately... quick, someone check to see if it's actually the US that's the dictatorship and not cuba, venezuela, the dprk, or syria

Jeb! Repetition posted:The article's right though The conclusion is incoherent. I have no idea what the author is trying to suggest American leftists actually do to support Uyghur rights halfway across the globe. Personally I think they should focus on stopping the mass imprisonment of minorities in their own country, which has the added benefit of being associated with a much smaller risk of resulting in socialists being duped into supporting imperial projects.

In terms of real support, there's not something that can be done from the west, I agree. but it should at least be acknowledged, and I fail to see how that acknowledgement somehow prevents acknowledging/helping minorities in the US.
