mugasofer:sinesalvatorem:mildlyamused:sorryforhavinganopinion:One time I was playing The Sims. My kid had a soccer game, and while the teams were huddled up, I changed to buy mode and put washing machines around the opposing team, enclosing them within their detergent scented prison. Thanks to my ingenious strategy, my child’s team was able to take the ball from the opposite goalie and score repeatedly. By the time the clock ran out, we were up 46-0, and the opposing team was sobbing in puddles of their own piss. I am the best soccer mom.PARENTINGThe first thing is the purest example ever of “What gets measured gets managed” and I believe that image of the roller coaster exploding shall henceforth be my reaction gif to all public choice theory discussions.The second one is just excellent parenting that I shall seek to emulate.The first one is utterly, ludicrously fake (the game doesn’t even feature a rival park.) It got lot of notes anyway because Tumblr.… does this still make it an example of “what gets measured gets managed”?The second one is definitely fake, too. The Sims doesn’t have soccer games with scores like that.Now, I did of course make roller coasters that launch people to their deaths. But there’s no benefit to doing so. -- source link
