The language used is not going to harm people. The intent is, which was my point.
Read -> Parse the meaning -> React accordingly. Is a correct way to communicate.
Read -> React to trigger word -> Disregard meaning Is not. It’s just conditioned response.
If you do not think disagreement is a productive contribution, maybe you’re not looking for a discussion.
You should stop focusing on vocabulary and get your mind on intent, this is getting stupid.
Where I live it’s much more complete than google maps, especially in the countryside.
They do feel their existence is threatened since NATO expended to the east in 1999.
Idgi, I’ve been using arch based distros for a few years and I’ve yet to break my system.
I still regularly listen to the soundtrack.
Reducing economical disparities will solve the so-called “racial” inequalities.
Affordable education, housing and care for all don’t necessitate discrimination, even positive.
When an university degree costs hundreds of thousands, the problem isn’t the ethnic makeup of the happy few who can afford it, it’s scarcity itself.
European state manage to fund a higher education for pretty much all of those that care to try it, it is not an impossible dream.
edit: to clarify, I don’t think ending affirmative action before making any general progress is a good idea or will do any good.
just to keep eyes on the prize and be aware of diversion tactics.
Feels like a spin to me to be honest.
They used to say the same things about lead before transitioning to the current “unsafe at any dosage” view.
Labeling everyday products as carcinogenic would work to muddy the waters after a few damaging papers on industry important products. I remember the ‘red meat is cancer’ craze breaking out suspiciously close to the first studies linking glyphosate to cancer.
My euristic will be to take popular belief into account. I see it as emergent intelligence by trial and error, not merely nonsense.
You do you of course.
In my mind, the main reason to avoid edulcorants (including stevia and acesulfame), is that they taste like shit.
Yesteryear’s conspiracies are today’s common truth. Getting slowly used to that one.
Trying to find some that haven’t been talked about yet:
Echo. It’s a fantastic experimental infiltration game with an AI that adapts to your way of playing. The setup is very impressive.
Pathologic: one of the three playable characters (the Changeling). It’s a bizarre russian game, with an unique world, and messy gameplay. Can’t recommend it enough.
Va11 Hall-A: chill bartending game in a cyberpunk setup.
The Blackwell series: comfy, kind of amateurish point and clicks by Wadjet Eye. I like them very much.
Transistor: weirdest game by Supergiant. You play as a redhead with a talking sword. I don’t remember much about it except that it was good.
The Fall: (pushing it a little bit, since the protagonist is an AI, but I’ve always seen here as female.) Criminally underrated puzzle games, disguised as metroidvanias.
Eliza (by Zachtronics): the only visual novel I enjoyed. It’s hard to explain, it’s about AI, burnout, whether tech dehumanizes people, and solitaire.
Hedon Duology: for something completely different, it’s a slightly kinky retroshooter, with amazon Orcs fighting demons.
It may sound a bit dumb, but it’s excellent. Huge levels, interesting worldbuilding, and a gameplay based on exploration, puzzles as well as shooting.
There’s probably a ton more, but that’s all I can think about at the moment.
Former CEO at Online Manipulation warns us about online manipulation. Hm.
haven’t evolved
I’m not so sure. We’ve been eating like shit since way before mcdonalds, and natural selection gonna naturally select.
It may be coincidental, but there’s an abnormally high (higher than western population) prevalence of diabetes in people transitioning to a western lifestyle.
For a non meme answer. my bet would be on endocrine disruption of the thyroid, by pollutants.
Along with a change in feeding habits in former third world population (sudden access to an abundance of sugar when you’re not genetically ready for it).
And maybe compound it with unhealthy lifestyles (increasing sedentary lifestyles).
This looks amazing. Almost better than the original in some ways.
But playing Doom in 1:1 aspect ratio is masochism.

Hm. It’s a start I guess.
Around 26, it’s biological adulthood.
I use it from time to time. The tech is getting better.
But it’s very hard to find anything interesting on it.
They REALLY need to focus on implementing content filter and discovery tools.
Right now it’s a lot noise and reposted videos. The search function doesn’t work at all.
I think the platform could be viable with a decent, verbatim search function; a tag-based browsing system, and the ability to visualize the federated instances and browse any of them as local.
It’s still possible to find interesting videos by browsing an instance focused on a specific interested as local.
We were making a big fuss back then. We also made a big fuss about Gitmo.
Nobody cared.
