Youtube comments of Regulus (@xXx_Regulus_xXx).

  1. I think "stop caring" is just bad phrasing even if the intent is good. "stop letting random third-party remarks/opinions/attitudes steal your joy or rob you of your confidence" is closer but it's not exactly bumper sticker material. I think OP is right to desire more confidence and desirability, especially through cultivating more mental resilience. "being more masculine" is a fine goal for a young man as long as you don't fall into the trap of slavishly mimicking some self-help guru's advice or acting out of fear.

  2. when you lied on your resume and now you have to make an anticheat program with code you copied from stackoverflow:

  3. I think the biggest reason virgin is used as an insult is that the ability to relate to a romantic partner is a very important developmental milestone, and someone who can't get along with others well enough to make it happen when we're physically and mentally compelled to can be a red flag in an adult. social norms like waiting until marriage used to give people kind of a grace period so it didn't create as much anxiety, and it also gave people leave to be more picky instead of one's first time being something you just did to get it over with. just some thoughts. Edit: thanks for the quality replies, everyone. I hoped this would spark a little discussion and you didn't let me down :yougotthis:

  4. if the only benefit for you was a social circle, the good news is this is what every hobby where you meet up irl does.

  5.  @stuartblittley3531  biblical theology is where fandoms get the word canon to begin with, lol
    248
  6. that's definitely one of the primary goals, they just use the unobjectionable goal as the one to get their foot in the door. "we're gonna make sure there's no CP on your computer, which we know you don't have anon so don't worry about it. And while we're in there we're gonna check for pirated anime, maybe see if that netflix login in your keyring was borrowed from anybody. But you're not some TOS breaking freak, so you have nothing to worry about right bro?"

  7.  @waltonsimons12  "what are you doing man?" "oh I'm building a computer man" "what for?" "'cause it said it would torture me forever if I didn't!"
    222
  8. valid criticism, but even when you can do more with less I'd argue that makes acquiring more energy even more attractive. a civilization that's already expansionist enough to reach space would probably want to keep going, or at the very least there's nothing I can think of that would make every single spacefaring civilization say "that's enough" and become zero growth.

  9. the term "religion" is also a grecco-roman concept, they distinguished between proper, appropriate for public consumption, state-sanctioned displays of devotion to the divine (religio) and private, exclusive, potentially deviant spiritual or occult practices (superstitio).

  10. on the one hand I wonder if that lets them bury old/unprofessional videos from longtime uploaders but on the other hand shouldn't more views per video be a better return on investment? if they're gonna store it all might as well let people find it all without scrolling so much

  11. it's true, but the fact that we can decode synaptic firings at all means we're a stone's throw away from mind reading.

  15. that's the other thing about AI that doesn't get mentioned enough. "authoritative" sources are letting the idea that AI is somehow trustworthy go unchallenged, and then inserting canned party line responses to select topics

  21. somebody on KF took a month's worth of his streams and determined he only spent 15 minutes out of an entire month of 10-12 hour streams actually CODING. He's absolutely the next yandev and he needs to sell the Heartbound IP to someone who can actually honor his backers if he wants to be a full-time streamer instead.

  22. it was founded by good actors and has never at any point been publicly traded, which means there's no conflict of interests between profit and quality of work. those are (some of) the ingredients for a good company. also steam is a golden goose they were smart enough to never sell off or price gouge lol

  23. I'm prone to disregarding celebrity opinions out of hand but this one I actually agree with. Top-down surveillance has ramped up significantly since September 2001 and that's a hard enough adjustment, but now the surveillance state has been crowdsourced. Any goon with a camera and an internet connection (which we all carry around as one nifty little gadget in our pockets) can put someone under the microscope without any oversight. it can be fucking awesome, I helped get a violent criminal arrested once because I was a bystander who was quick with my phone camera, but it can also open somebody who just had a bad day up to social shunning on an international scale. Our brains aren't equipped to handle knowing more than about 150 or so people, we are literally not built to handle positive or negative attention in a balanced way from internet mobs.

  26. as bad of a look as this is I'm still on the side of "don't arrest people over fiction" I've seen the art and none of it looks traced, it's all anime style and AI. However, this combined with his constant mental preoccupation with the subjects of CSAM, age of consent laws and how they should be lowered or eliminated, and publicly pretending to hate anime while secretly gooning to it are a broad enough patern that at minimum anyone in his life with children should consider a restraining order and at maximum his computers should be seized and searched. if he's actually as ethical as he claims (like hell lmao) he's got nothing to fear, right?
    68
  27. for a person looking to express himself and be creative (with other people's living space...) he sure did design a dismal-looking hive of an apartment complex. Hopefully the people who were living in these high-rise cell blocks are living somewhere nicer.

  28. @ why do YOU bootlick for a dilettante who's never going to finish the game people paid him in advance for?
    65
  29. because mental health is not taught to anyone who doesn't study psych in college, the rest of us are expected to wing it
    63
  30. re: the point about Marvel characters having normal motivations under the genre trappings, this is why people watch anime too, most of it is hero's journey stuff or slice of life which glorifies normality and people more or less getting along
    61
  31. it only worked because Frank wasn't cultivating a bro-left persona, he was just wearing morph suits and spazzing out for the internet cause it was funny

  32. the idea of a country's name being decided by TLD marketability instead of the heritage of its people seems crass
    59
  33. I've downsized from being the informal therapist for a few people to more like one or two. I like the feeling of helping people work through their issues, but it's easy to get overwhelmed, and I don't have all the answers. I've had to accept help from people too and while I don't get the "waow I'm a good person" dopamine hit as often, but I'm still hopefully a net positive to have around and I feel more balanced accepting help on occasion
    59
  34. That and it's deeply sad to have a real woman he had a kid with and instead of deepening his relationship with her he's resorting to escapism. That is a genuine moral failure on his part. Just talk to her dude
    57
  35. also worth mentioning, just because something you're saying isn't a factual statement doesn't mean it has no value. A human being with no opinions/jokes/random shower thoughts/etc is like a pack animal with no scent. it's not possible for his/her packmates to get sufficient information about him or her with a whole channel of communication missing. we're moderns, but we're still made of meat, and that doesn't have to be a bad thing. play along a little!
    55
  36. Reminder that LLMs are just fancy autocomplete. This guy fell for a soulless jumped-up android keyboard. And then proceeded to call it Soul to help fool himself. That's a deeply sad existence
    55
  37. it sounds like he's blowing too much money on it from the way OP phrased it, but I agree. I'm in favor of growing produce at home and it sounds like his dad's habit could easily be made into something constructive.
    53
  38. ​ @andrestorres4715 a lot of people, men and women are in the "if man stronger then how be victim??" stage of mental development. oddly enough in my experience people seem to not even want to think about m/m SA for some reason, too.
    52
  39. I had a similar experience dating. when I was single I figured "if I'm worth loving why hasn't it actually happened yet?" and it made me more unwilling to seek better circumstances in all areas of my life. Through a mix of courage and desperation I tried being a good boyfriend for a few women and after some trial and error I found somebody compatible and we ended up in a positive feedback loop of making each other better. Even if that went away tomorrow, I would always be able to tell myself, "I did it once, I can do it again."
    51
  40. right, and that's the original use case for a vpn. if your company needs you to use one they'll set you up with theirs though, you don't need surfshark or nord or express or whoever
    50
  41. ​@0x6a09 "they'll do it anyway, better let corpos take open source code with no obligations" this is like leaving your door unlocked because the axe-wielding maniac is just going to break a window anyway. maybe he has good intentions?
    46
  42. that's how it happened to me too. I was just looking for people to hang out with online when my future girlfriend stumbled across my page on some site and liked a bunch of my dumb meme posts. I took that as an opening to start talking to her and I said something like "hey after I'm done studying and take my midterms can we try hanging out?" She was up for that, we started chatting and at some point it transitioned to an actual relationship. That was around 5 years ago and we're still together and plan on marrying 🤟

  44. first Google becomes Alphabet, now Facebook becomes Meta. I expect Amazon to become Weyland-Yutani in the next few years at this rate.
    46
  45.  @pdaahunchoisnextup  sympathy for someone's negative experiences is generally a small comfort, yes. we're social animals, don't be a wet blanket especially if you're just here to say "duhhh that doesn't help" and not outdo the other person.
    45
  46. slight difference though, HogLeg was popular for political reasons, but Helldivers was popular on it's own merit first. The devs being smart enough to not add gay cosmetics to a game with friendly fire was just a bonus.
    45
  47. in principle I believe paying for stuff you want is a good alternative to being the product, but if all my searches would be tied to my real-world payment info, it seems harder for it to be private, and the "we don't track you" promises are only promises, they can't actually be enforced. It's like when VPNs claim to be zero-log.
    45
  48. ddossing them out of a competitive game for one. games that don't use central servers are vulnerable to this kind of attack and it doesn't take as much effort as you're implying also if you replied to me to balk about me even mentioning this, get checked out for Aspberger's.

  53.  @casanovafunkenstein5090  isn't reducing his motivation to just sex a little bit unfair? Wanting someone to have sex with isn't even a bad thing, but I think the monster wanted a creature like himself that he could relate to at least as much as he wanted someone to go to bed with. I'd want an (emotionally) intimate partner if I woke up knowing I was a gestalt of stolen corpses made by a criminally insane college student who didn't care about me.
    39
  54. justifiably so
    38

  57.  @GamingKing545  not sure what that guy thinks but I can tell you how corporations are going to define it: speech that's unprofitable will be counted as hateful
    36
  58. same applies to VPN companies and those ad reads that make the service sound like some kind of magic bullet for security. The only good one I've ever heard was Tom Scott's modified version.
    35
  59. most orgs are made of people who only know their limited workflow, and they see passwords as another annoyance between them and their workflow rather than something that keeps them safe, so they make weak easy to type ones and reuse them wherever possible. that attitude extends to anything on a computer as long as they don't see how it will lead to their credit card number getting stolen. source: I wrangle people like this for a living.

    30
  66.  @Mordecrox  not as many as I'd want. most people wake up to their OS looking funny with the windows button in the wrong place, shrug, and learn to cope with the new annoyances like farm animals
    30
  67. this mentality already did a number on western animation in the 2010s to the point where the word Calarts is mostly used as a derogatory term with animation/comic fans. Back when I was going to college I almost went for graphic design because I love art, but then I remembered I would be doing nothing but making what other people want, or worse, designing advertisements. I draw for fun on occasion and work a real job like a lot of these self-important artists probably should have done.

  68.  @racookster  the cancer comparison requires a host organism that's harmed by the cancer's expansion, so I don't think it makes sense unless you think a dead universe is somehow harmed by life.

  72. programming languages will either always be imperfect because the hardware environment and needs of users are always changing and things like the halting problem, or AI will invent a logically perfect language that works everywhere while being lean and efficient sometime in the next 10 or so years.

  73. no outgroups allowed, even in your escapism, their maternalism towards real-world minorities cannot tolerate such things

  74. ​ @UNcommonSenseAUS  the fact that they bother backdooring individual apps is indicative that hardware backdoors are either inconvenient or don't provide root level access automatically. I'm willing to at least make them work for their pay even if they can read my encrypted funposts
    28
  75.  @SpartanHawk  some people graduate with no ability to arrange their thoughts in linear text. I worked on a writing project with friends a while back, and the plan was to write notes during the planning stage and host those on a collaboration platform, and meet in person when possible to discuss plans. One guy tried uploading cellphone videos of his stream of consciousness, and when I told him he had to write because we were on the free plan and a few videos would burn through all my storage space, he stopped participating in anything other than the in-person meetings. If you're curious that project ended up being DOA.

    28
  78.  @ArgoIo  I'm not gonna vote for anything that'll forcibly shut off my area's a/c. how about we try some low-tech solutions like better insulation, maybe newer windows on homes that seal better before we put yet another centralized probe in people's homes. heat waves probably also imply the area could benefit from solar adoption to some degree. maybe power companies should be offering an opt-in solar panel installation instead.
    28
  79.  @chuckn4851  most Occam's razor fans are actually just making the argument from incredulity fallacy. "I can't imagine why someone would do that, therefore no one does it."
    28
  80. another way to put it from Distributist's video (paraphrased) is: the tendency of the political overton window to drift ever leftward over long periods of history with less effort and for longer periods than right wing movements can do the same suggests it is political entropy.
    28
  81. that man absolutely has a deviantart account if he thinks edits make the end product completely original. would not surprise me in the least if the parts of his game that work are stolen code.

    26
  87. knew a guy who repressed his emotions because he had no clue how to interact with people and he thought we should think it was cool. just like he thought his binge drinking and sleep deprivation were cool. he's since driven away practically every well meaning person in his life and been kicked out by his family.
    25
  88. 1:01 if I had five candidates who were equally capable but one of them had a disorder that is highly likely to lead to meltdowns and workplace inappropriate behavior, that resume is going in the shredder. I'm not making the work environment worse so I can get one more guy on the team.
    25
  89. I don't think that's the way it works, it's probably more like having the inner strength or detachment or whatever it is to not be crushed by negative emotions

    25
  92. The bit about texting an old number deliberately (~54:00) reminds me a lot of people I knew in my personal life, emphasis on KNEW. Past tense. I was on Steve's channel telling him to leave out the jab at Linus because he already made his callout, MegaLag already said what needed to be said about honey, but maybe Linus is even more of a small man than I gave him credit for.
    25
  93. he also jumps straight to CP as his way of explaining utilitarian ethics instead of, say, obeying traffic lights or any of hundreds of non deranged example cases. it's been clear for a long time now that he's very preoccupied with CSAM
    25
  94.  @krunkle5136  do you know the story of the scorpion and the frog? do you think its intended purpose was to mislead people about the migratory patterns of arthropods and amphibians? my point is, unrealistic stories aren't automatically maladaptive and an unrealistic interaction between two animals or an implausibly large beanstalk or an unlikely sequence of events doesn't automatically make the story deceptive or bad for a kid. A lot of cartoons are still brain rot, I just think lack of realism isn't the actual problem. it's deeper than that
    25
  95. I see it as a logical extension of the "rantsonas" guys used in the 00s and 10s. Just like with rantsonas there's a bell curve of quality but in the end it's just another way of picking a middle ground between a facecam and a blank screen. some people hyperfocus on the "muh porn" thing but I only watch them on YT so I never see porn, they're just streamers.
    24
  96. @kevalyarathore223 your incredulity is unwarranted. cultures that promote deeply unsanitary behavior are less healthy than ones that don't.

  100. my high school had adult hall monitors who enforced the school's over-the-top dress code as well as other rules, but did so unevenly. at lunch I wore a zip-up hoodie because the room we had lunch in was freezing which was technically against the rules, but in the same room there were unruly kids who were utterly out of compliance--shirt and pants that weren't permitted, but the hall monitor didn't go after them. It would have actually been more advantageous for me to be a total rulebreaker in terms of dress and behavior than to bend the rules and act compliant when confronted by authority. Cowardly enforcers who are too scared to go after the worst offenders create inequality
    23
  101. good on you for not replying, hopefully she'll take the hint that no matter what is going on you can't just block somebody for no reason you were supposedly on good terms with without consequences. she needs to treat people like people and at least give a reason

  106. ​ @randxalthor school curriculums are decades behind what would be useful in the real world. the ever-present feeling of "when am I going to use this in real life" makes it really hard to engage. now some of this is because kids would rather do something that's immediately fun and we have way more stuff like that now, and they can't see how they'll need to know the difference between exponential and logarithmic or what have you. personally I think when kids ask that question, teachers should have an impossibly hard test ready with scenarios from jobs that adults do, let them panic a little, and then explain how you won't need to know whatever you're learning today, you need to know this stuff because you can't understand the stuff you WILL need without a bunch of prerequisites.

  110. Helldivers is more of an homage than a satire of a satire, I'm pretty sure. It doesn't appear to be critiquing any of the ideas from the movie adaptation of Starship Troopers, just repeating a lot of similar tropes.

  113. My framework arrived recently and I like it so far. Higher build quality than I expected, installing components was so easy a child could do it, and it runs most new linux distros without a lot of hassle. My only complaint is the single fan design kinda sucks, but it's a laptop, I didn't buy it to play crysis on anyway.

  114. ​​ @McCaroni_Sup  the MC of Stellar Blade isn't even "impossibly" attractive, you've just been desensitized to people who eat poorly/don't take care of themselves and look bad as a result. The only thing unrealistic about her is the outfit and swordfighting skills. I'm serious, look at female Jpop and Kpop band members, a lot of them look and dress like that. Anyone saying she looks like a child probably has some hangups around east asian women.

  115. my best friend developed auditory hallucinations and occasional seizures from PTSD, that shit is rough man. Definitely look into remote work if screens don't trigger your seizures. I worked from home one day per week before covid, and they moved me to full time during.

  120.  @soranin9017  this is true, I was really sensitive to bullying as a kid and I'd sometimes cry if somebody said one cruel thing to me, but at some point I realized that so long as it doesn't seem like I'm about to get punched, nothing has to happen as long as I don't outwardly give the other person the reaction they want. I suppressed stuff like crying and made myself less fun to bully which made it happen less often, and the combination of learning to control my reactions and getting a reprieve from the bullying gave me what I needed to become stronger.

  123. same happened to me too! I got very attached to women I knew who were good friends but weren't good matches romantically, and then had a weird run-in with a stranger who showed interest but just wanted money. after that I gave up on dating and spent that time writing and hanging with friends instead. my future long term GF was drawn to me because of how I acted when I wasn't in "desperately trying to hold your attention" mode and I've been with her for years.

Most of the whinging about how bad or dumb humanity is comes from people with a lifespan of 70-90 years, an attention span of about 20 minutes, and way higher demands on people around them than themselves. It's just noise. (BTW if I were a grabby alien and I overheard my neighbors talking amongst themselves like this I might say "that's right, you're all simply the worst, give me your stuff") We seem to have something like a first mover advantage, which gives us time to expand and improve ourselves without worrying about competition with neighbors.

  141.  @unionunicorn6776  I've known a guy with overt and covert narcissistic behavior patterns since he was 8 and he's now in his mid-20s, maybe I can offer some insight into why people can have trouble empathizing with narcissists. it's healthy to want to be liked by your peers, but what sets narcissists apart is what they're willing to do that other people are not. The guy I know has a lifelong pattern of putting others down to soothe his own ego, getting into arguments when they stand up to him, gaslighting the person he's arguing with until they either break down and go along with it or get fed up with him, and then seeking comfort from someone else by retelling the story with enough truth to resemble the event but twisting things just enough so that it seems like the other person was being irrational for no reason and he was unfairly victimized. I always hoped he'd just grow out of it but he recently did something I can't look past to somebody else I know who genuinely did nothing but try to help him up until he screwed her over. There's a lot more but this is a comment not a blog post. At this point I have to cut him off for my own sanity and I'm hoping losing a friend he's known as long as me is a wakeup call.

  146. I agree with your take on the issue, and some atheists even agree that religions are proto sciences. counterintuitively for some people though, I don't think that means they've been made entirely obsolete, as modern science is steeped in its own biases that stem from things like culture, politics, and profitability. People like Alok continue to demonstrate that secularism hasn't completely strip-mined the world's religions of all of their merits, so as corny as it sounds both will have to continue to exist if we don't want to lose anything of value while we work to eliminate the negative excesses of both.

    17
  149. this is the most balanced take I've seen on the issue in the comments, along with someone else who mentioned getting permanent HPPD after tripping on research chemicals. There seems to be a contingent of psychedelic fanboys that greatly downplay the risks just because they personally had productive experiences. If they're really such wonderful tools it shouldn't be necessary to present a distorted picture of what taking them is like, and getting offended that Dr. K is advocating for caution is probably a sign that their ego came back stronger than before the trip.

  151. @ I'll use a quote from the comment I replied to. you should be able to read mine and the original comment together in context but people never do. "Mo Rammi ONLY condemns the trouble Sarge's actions brought on himself and his next of kin. Not his actions towards English girls, not the CRIMES he committed, but that HIS community was inconvenienced" If you apologize selectively, it strongly implies you're only sorry selectively. can we agree on that? The English must notice that this is not accidental in order to survive as individuals and as a people. people who believe in conquest won't coexist with people who believe in coexistence.

  152. I know a couple of people from both sexes for whom attractiveness acted as a debuff. The guy I know gets catcalled, women in his area assume he's sexually available for anyone who asks and have no idea he just wants someone to settle down and be emotionally intimate with and start a family. The woman I know got into a relationship with a guy because she felt compassionate towards him but he turned out to be an unbelievable coomer and was just using her. bottom line, beware of people who are just using you to get their fix. that could be sex, money, narcissistic supply, a captive audience, whatever.

  153. overall I had a good childhood, but one thing that stands out as distinctly better is my relationship with my parents. They were not happy being married to each other, they had false beliefs about the world, they weren't total deadbeat fuckups but they didn't always know what they were doing. they've been divorced for about 10 years now and while that process hurt like hell for the kids, they've grown as people and being an adult myself now I'm more confident and on more equal footing with them. they're nicer to talk to and spend time with, and they've even stopped bitching about each other. Definitely nicer than childhood in that regard.

  249. ​ @rumo510  I can't be objective on the prequels because they were my first exposure to star wars, but I think the best criticism that can be directed at the sequel trilogy is that it's self-referential, and that tends to be a sign of an IP in decline. If they wanted to sell us a story about blowing up a megastructure again it probably should have been another rerelease of the OT, but the first of the sequels had to retread old ground to test the waters. From there we get into the problems with inconsistent direction, and then when the movies lost their footing they go "fuck it, the new big bad isn't working out, just bring back Palpatine so we can beat him again"

  256. being highly online can be ok if you actually accomplish anything concrete with your based and redpilled internet friends. my friends irl were all flaky and didn't really align with how I wanted to live and I found people online who are close enough for me to meet up with and do shit besides bitch about what so and so said on twatter. times are lean so we're basically just a mutual aid network rn but one guy is distributing non gmo heirloom seeds and teaching the rest of us how to grow food, I help people with tech support stuff, and everybody else has some way to to help strengthen the group. you absolutely can abstain from the internet like Luke but it can be a good tool if you use it right.

  262. incidentally, I love the term Super Earth the way they use it. Elsewhere in scifi and futurism, a super earth is a term for an earthlike planet that's physically a lot larger than Earth. In Helldivers it seems to just mean Earth, but for the sake of patriotism they started calling it Super Earth. I love it!

  263. ​ @laurendoe168 the issue is less to do with age, I'm a millennial born in the tail end of the 90s and people my age and younger don't understand it either. Part of it is due to being able to get by without understanding the inner workings most of the time, part of it is the complexity is deliberately locked away by phone and tablet operating systems, and part of it is simple lack of interest. They don't want control, they want the magic box to be as magical and simple as possible, even if that means it tells them what to do instead of the other way around. When they do need to understand directory structures, they just memorize which icons to click with no deeper understanding. If you tell them something like "your C drive lives on your computer and your Onedrive files live somewhere else," it doesn't click with them. All the files are in their screen, what do you mean they're somewhere else??

  272. that sounds fine tbh. Dr. K mentioned the ethos that medical professionals save people regardless of their circumstances before they need treatment, and I don't think a viable fetus being inconvenient to someone's lifestyle or being economically challenging is a good enough reason to euthanize that new person. In cases like rape I think women who carry the pregnancy to term are some of the most merciful people around, but I don't expect that from everyone.

  293.  @kw8274  the top comment is conflating computers with AI. A big computer doesn't automatically have the capacity to get bored, it needs an AI that has boredom programmed in for that. computers running simulations don't have the ability to get bored unless somebody programs that in. it's easier to make a computer that doesn't have any concept of boredom whatsoever. that's why I mentioned size because it seems like people think a big computer automatically has AI.

  304. even if your body has major problems, it doesn't mean somebody else's healthy body is yours and was misallocated. that's how a skinwalker would think, not a human. either way, there are a lot of natural things anyone can do to make the experience of being themselves nicer that most people don't do because it's less convenient than sitting on the couch with a phone. figure out what challenges you have and what would make the most impact on them and act accordingly and you can make your time on Earth more satisfying and enjoyable.

  329. small note about Christianity since you mentioned it, there are different interpretations but generally the reason you're supposed to change your behavior in response to love is less about worthiness and more about gratitude. If someone does something nice for you because they feel empathy for your pain or misfortune, usually the proper response is to take what you're given to further improve so you don't suffer as much. You want to suffer less and so does the other person so it's painful for everyone involved if you keep living in the way that makes you miserable.

He's not my friend now but he was up until a couple months ago. He kept getting progressively more and more twisted and won't listen to anything that doesn't validate his shitty behavior even when he knows it's wrong, so the whole group had to cut contact. He acts like any form of professional help is beneath him even when I've told him how it helped me, so hopefully getting kicked out of another friend group helps him get over himself. If not, there's nothing anybody can do to save him.

After watching him spin more of his bad habits like they're actually tragic antihero quirks that don't need fixing for literal years, and then the grand finale where he did some really underhand things to me and our mutual friends, we all decided at various points we had to cut him off. I hope it's like cold water to the face for him and he starts to realize that he's the common denominator in all his failed relationships, because talking like adults did not work.

  369.  @趙俊懿-g4o  I've said elsewhere there's a version of this art style that could work, but the only ties to Marathon so far are the name and the tagline. In marathon the transhuman battleroid you play as is a cybernetically reanimated soldier drawn in an otherwise fairly grounded art style (for the engine it was made in at least). I think the scene where the Runner bodies are being assembled and those artificial silkworms are putting the facial tissue together look absolutely awesome, but eurotrash isn't quite to my taste and I think they ought to have given the game a different name and made the connections to Marathon more of a wink and a nod instead of using it to advertise the game. Maybe give it a stylized name like DEAD_SPRINT that alludes to the old franchise and then use lore snippets and environmental storytelling to link it back to Marathon.

  372.  @Bendilin  I think there's an element of truth to this, assuming the garden is productive and people in the house are willing to eat the produce. OP may have bad habits he's not aware of or omitted from the reddit post, but for the sake of being charitable it's not impossible that the dad is a middling farmer, or is wasting some of the money by either following bad instructions or buying flashy but unhelpful products, or there are losses to blight/pests, etc. etc. Plus there's the issue of at least 2/4 people in the household being overweight, one living exclusively on junk. I could go on but based on my experiences knowing a family like this (but with the politics being a mirror image of OP's, amusingly) it's probably more complicated than what could fit in a reddit post.

I was interested in the story and the main thing that kept me thinking about it was "how the hell are they going to tie this all together at the end?" In the beginning I had complete faith that they would somehow, but as the plot kept going nowhere I lost that. Seeing them cop out on the fifth enemy race and say the Witness was all of them rolled into one big questionable design choice was when I knew they had been winging it since launch and never actually came up with anything impressive. There are good stories here and there in those text entries but nothing that hits as hard as Halo or Marathon did.

Finding out you're not in base reality isn't a strong reason for despair whether you're in a simulation or in a black hole inside a parent universe or in the mind of (what would be for you) a god. Being at the mercy of a malevolent being who controls your reality is scary but doesn't necessarily need the 4th wall awareness. If I had been tasked with writing this I wouldn't have name dropped the wiki or the writers or anything, it feels overly indulgent even for SCP.

  408. lots of people have this mechanistic understanding of romantic relationships as well as other kinds of relationships and it's alienating af to be on the receiving end of. I had a friend disrespect me in a major way and then double down it, and then only when I made it clear I wasn't putting up with it did he scramble to offer a token apology. People aren't companionship vending machines that dispense what you want after reciting the right sequence of mouth noises, it's more complicated than that. As for romantic relationships, there are some people you can hook up with and some you can't. Talking to/dating somebody isn't about programming them to enter companion mode, it's about determining whether you and they are compatible. To at least some extent, that's already determined before the first conversation even starts.

  409. I discovered after many long years that I may have been a FP for a childhood friend. When things finally escalated to the point I needed to end the friendship I didn't even feel comfortable enough to say why. When he was mad, everything was ammo to him. Even if he fucked up and everyone in our circle knew it, to him it was always the other person's fault and he'd act like his friends were always turning on him for no reason. He never showed any outward sign of honest introspection that I can recall and he rejected emotional support from anybody who wasn't a woman he wanted to have sex with. I feel lighter for having ghosted him, I have energy for other things, but I wouldn't say it felt satisfying. Decades of memories are bittersweet now, and he's probably out there latching onto new people and repeating the same painful mistakes as ever.

Other companies are realizing there's a market niche for people who want google-like services without actually going through google. Proton, tutanota, there are a few browsers that function as good alternatives to chrome, and we're even getting decent search engines like Brave search. alternatives are out there, they're just not household names yet.

In my experience you may get some (possibly grudging) respect when you can prove to your mother that the person you've been seeing is a real woman who is actually interested in you. However, it's not necessary if you plan on cutting contact with her, that's just a tip if you want to try winning her over.

  534. depends on what you mean by "regular" tbh. I set my mom up with linux to keep her from needing a new laptop years ago. she basically just needs a browser, the usual document manipulation software on occasion, and that's really about it. She's also ignorant to technology and really scared of getting a virus so it was an easy pitch to make. I set her up with something with a lightweight DE, put some shortcuts to what she needed on her desktop, and taught her to run software updates when the notification popped up. She's never touched the CLI in any meaningful way and even though I check on her regularly there's never been any real need, it's been very set-and-forget. so if you mean someone who's semi-competent with computers and wants to tinker or get a Steam game running that doesn't work with a default Proton configuration, then yeah you're probably going to use the command line, but if you're a regular person who sees computers as more of a hurdle between you and your emails or something, it can be made to get out of your way.

  569. I take it as being more about not ignoring or refusing opportunity when it comes. people who are stuck in a rut tend to not take life seriously enough to grab a weird or unexpected chance to do something because they're too accustomed to nothing happening. The takeaway is: weird opportunities will present themselves for you to use your talents, and at some point one will be an emergency. Learn and practice as much as you can in the areas of expertise you've chosen to focus on to increase your odds of success. "as much as you can" doesn't have to mean frantically studying like a med student, but it does mean don't slack off too much.

It feels good to me personally to spend an hour working on a draft without telling anyone and then get feedback after I have something tangible. That way there are no expectations weighing on me and if I have to throw the draft out, nobody but me knows it even existed. Both styles work, it just depends on the person and the situation

Reminding myself of the little things makes it easier to do "real" tasks the next day, and it usually ends up making up for the "wasted" day anyway as long as I remind myself I'm not dipping below baseline.

  652. Underrated comment, OP. Semi-related example, Destiny actually did something similar to this sans a discrete macguffin with Uldren Sov. He was corrupted by visiting a magical location, and that was further exacerbated by a wish-granting creature who was trapped by his sister who he is utterly devoted to, which appeared to him as said sister and preyed on his desire to please her. Those factors combined with some emotional instability corrupted him to the point he lead a prison break and killed Cayde-6, a fan favorite character, when normally he would have had an interest in keeping the prison running and would have had no reason to kill Cayde.

  658. ​ @deletenow3276  the number of reasons not to pay taxes would outnumber the reasons to pay them for the metrics taxpayers use in reality. the reasoning people use can range from as simple as "if I don't pay taxes, I'll have money to spend on other things" to "if I spend money on taxes, it will go to things and people I am opposed to" etc. etc. most people are motivated to come up with reasons that give them permission to conserve their own money. even if being a non-taxpayer left you outside the protection of the law I think a majority of people wouldn't bother.

  714.  @weignerg  yes, but even that needs a big asterisk appended to it. the human body is a survival engine, and a lack of strain can also be bad. lack of exercise is the obvious example, but there's also things like peanuts, where people only become allergic to them if they're not exposed to them early in childhood, so it's a case where too much safety is unhelpful. I think of it like car maintenance, a car can only perform for so long before wear causes it to stop working, but a car that sits in the garage without being used for too long develops its own problems.

Their personal style should either be more clinical and less punk, or their synthetic bodies should look more grungy to match the punk style. Oh, and call it something other than Marathon because other than the Compiler cameo none of this bears any resemblance to Marathon.

  718. there's something to Dr K's idea that people need to cultivate contentment if there's nothing that satisfies, people like that move through life with a hole they can't fill. But there's also something to the Reddit OP's statement that a lot of modern occupations just suck and many are worse than useless, and we know this but we're in a (hopefully) transitional period where we haven't come up with anything better than busywork to make sure everyone has the appearance of earning their pay and keeping the wheels of the economy turning. People tend to value something that they've worked for more than something handed to them, and people also tend to not like feeling useless or redundant, so I still support the idea of people having something to busy themselves with, but we can probably come up with something better than 40 hours of sitting in front of a screen manipulating symbols.

  756. idk Mentis, all of the apologia for self driving cars isn't doing much for me. While I prefer private transportation over public, trains would be much simpler to implement than either outfitting every car with expensive high-performance silicon (which ends up destroyed in accidents or stolen) or making them all drones controlled from a centralized hub (which would create a litany of perverse incentives). Saying "any complex system can be hacked!" isn't a good reason to prefer a complex system over a simple one when a simple one works. For my money, I think the real solution to traffic is to effectively end the commute and the central office. most people who work sitting in front of a computer don't need to waste time driving anywhere, and we have data on this now. People who still have to literally show up to work could take the less-congested roads or public transit and have a more pleasant and safer experience.

  758. this is the answer. Corpo internet will never reach the levels of fun, interesting, and downright weird experiences as the ones created by people for their own sake. I think even beyond worrying about offending advertisers or pleasing investors it's an issue of intent. A corporation, even if they're willing to make something risque isn't making that thing for its own sake, they're doing it to turn a profit. Creative people on the internet often make weird shit just because they feel like it with no expectation of any gain.

I don't think it's objectively true, but if you entertain the idea it's a way of accepting your performance fluctuates day to day, because each day you're some new person. basically just don't take it literally unless you're really into epistemology and thought experiments 😅

  780. ​ @adayah2933  I don't know if it's valid for someone with Neil's track record as a public figure. He talks about the power of the scientific method like it's a woman he hopes will notice him, so to backpedal inside his own wheelhouse (relatively speaking, he doesn't have any specialized knowledge about biology) means he's entering the debate from a weak position. If I had a mentally handicapped relative, and I scheduled a time and place to talk with someone about his/her condition, I would look foolish if after I arrived I asked why we were talking about his/her condition instead of some other topic. So it is with Neil. To cut right to the heart of the issue here, if the science communicator doesn't want to communicate about the science, it's because the science doesn't support his beliefs about men in women's spaces.

  786. 14:00 the idea that our ancestors didn't think everything was connected is a modern fallacy. ancient religions from all over the world acknowledge this in some form or other. for monotheist religions from the near east there's the notion that a single supreme being created everything, in the far east there are ideas like karma and interdependent origination. etc. etc. you said yourself that none of the deep ocean would be completely unknown to us without the advent of robotics so you can't hold people from the past to that standard, but they would have understood everything down there is a part of creation just like everything else they had seen up until that point.

  859. there are a lot of options for avoiding a genetic bottleneck on a colony ship, all with varying degrees of discomfort. You could freeze sperm and eggs and have mothers give birth to kids who are related to her and some man back on Earth, or have a kid that's not related to her even if you used the eggs. If your tech is good enough you could even store the DNA digitally and then recreate it in a lab so you don't have to worry about radiation damage or the samples thawing out. If you didn't want to do any of that, you could carefully keep track of who's allowed to sleep with who and make sure each couple has some minimum number of kids, and then they go on to repeat the process. Maybe every few generations you deliberately divide people into groups to create distinct populations, and then shuffle the groups before bottlenecking happens. It all depends on what your technology is capable of and how much weirdness people are willing to put up with.

  932. it's an overcorrection in response to years and years and YEARS of the gaming industry making the same bad choices. contrary to the community's reputation gamers are willing to forgive damn near anything from a studio they like despite what they say, or at least that's been the case up until the mid 2020s. I'm not sure how familiar you are with the Destiny/Destiny 2 playerbase but for the last 10 years the ones that stuck around have been clinging onto hope for this or that thing they asked the devs for and hung on despite not getting quite what they asked for. devs say "we're listening, we'll do better next time" and the same thing repeats. a lot of people only quit because the main story ended, but they really did want the game to be good and stuck around supporting its development instead of dropping it after it peaked. This same basic story repeats all across the industry and people are finally at the point where they realize corporate interests have just been taking advantage of their willingness to keep playing and buy the next thing for way too long. it's not nuanced but it was probably inevitable.

  970. ​ @mmstick  "how does that affect you" is something people tend to say when the negative consequences for changing something are still over the horizon. everything having a permissive license enabling more embrace, extend, extinguish campaigns to be carried out by software corporations DOES affect me, massively.

Permissive licenses are bad for users because of strategies like embrace, extend, extinguish (do I really have to explain to you what this is? it's older than many adults now) as well as projects like minix being used as the basis for IME. nothing I've mentioned is a conspiracy theory, one is a business practice that can be observed in the world and the other is a piece of software used by state intelligence. do you dispute any of what I've said?

I started doing really strong green tea (coffee makes me too jittery) where I just leave the teabag in the entire time I was drinking it and having one or two cups of that per day with nothing added. I was just doing it to get caffeine and water in my system so I wasn't worried about taste, but over time I started to enjoy it, it has almost a clean taste if that makes sense, and my teeth felt nicer not having sugar on them all day. That started a positive feedback loop where I was satisfied with a lot less sugar in other foods and I even started having desserts with more mild tastes.

Now that being a Free Speech and Government Efficiency hero is working for him (better than trying to sell to people who were indoctrinated into hating him, anyway) he's doing that. Zuckerberg is also trying to rebrand himself as more cool and less leftist. He's got data on everyone and he must think this is the way the wind's blowing. He doesn't want to be known as the lizard man whose data gathering apparatus your grandparents and your most basic coworkers love using. With Elon there's a very obvious element of personal ego to it (pretending to be an Epic GamerTM wasn't some masterful optics move) and maybe that's what Zuck is doing too, but these guys also have unbelievable amounts of data on public sentiment so I think it's likely they know there's a big shift coming.

I get that the hypothetical is deliberately stupid to draw attention to one problem in a complicated system, but I think even most ancaps with a better than lukewarm IQ would realize that values other than property are there for a reason and reinvent them if their system were ever implemented. as it stands, while sometimes people can get all of one thing and make unreasonable demands for it or achieve lesser shades of the same problem, people still have recourse. we're NOT under a system that only values property rights, and if enough people want something bad enough and take enough action things change. If this never worked outside of communism we would have no concessions and Bezos would have already converted the mass of Earth into his luxury space armada by now.

  1146. I think Kane is doing a decent job. He's adding his own elements but they make sense and the "levels" (groan) aren't proliferating into infinity like with the wiki version of the backrooms. The monsters having something to do with the damp filth in the carpet makes them feel less random, and for the kind of story he's trying to tell I think there needs to be a monster. Researchers wandering through infinite hallways would only be interesting for a short while if nothing actually happens. The original take on the backrooms of there being a few completely empty liminal spaces you can fall into and maybe find the exit if you're lucky are better as visual art or something more interactive like a walking sim. Either way, the backrooms is internet fiction that doesn't have a fixed canon like SCP and this is a great addition to the collection.
    1
  1147.  @Z25O  I wouldn't say it's scarier to more people because the fear of the unknown and the fear of being chased are both archetypal fears. And if I haven't made it clear enough by now I'm not saying your favorite interpretation of the backrooms is bad or something, you're allowed to like it. I'm just not sure if Kane's Backrooms in particular would work without a monster, and with the lack of any strict canon I think it's nice that there's a version of the backrooms that has one kind of monster. Without the monster, this story in particular is just a corporation expanding into the backrooms, people start living in there, and then the project eventually gets abandoned because of all the mold deaths and the magnetic disturbances causing people to fall through solid objects in base reality. Entries like found footage #2 might still work but I don't know if the whole narrative would hold up.

My other favorite dev, Valve, has plenty of games so I figure one more from Bungie would be nice even if it wasn't as big as D2. But seeing their big plan was to follow a crowd pleaser game that was at a natural stopping point for most players (because their new player onboarding was so bad not many bothered after Forsaken) with a game that was in a niche genre with a divisive art style, that was what made me start saying THIS is why they won't make Destiny 3!? I have no idea what Matter or Gummy Bears were going to be but either one would've been smarter than this to release, I'm positive.

  1309. if this is a high school thing and you're otherwise happy with the friend group, I say try to still be on good terms with them. The girl you like is probably too emotionally volatile right now to be a good romantic partner to anybody and genuinely needs some space if she just got out of a relationship. Even if she seems like she starts showing interest in her ex again (hopefully not but it happens) or someone else, it's probably not a stable relationship. She might also spend a long time single to work through the trauma which in my experience tends to be best. I obviously don't know your situation but my advice as far as your crush goes is to do what you have to do to let your romantic feelings for her settle down. If there's any chance of it she'll need a long time and she'll probably need to be the one to initiate, otherwise keep your heart open so that you don't miss another good chance. And don't lose your other good friends if you can help it, they're not what you want most right now but you will need good friends, trust me

  1506.  @edenassos  ...who said anything about urban efficiency? that's one potential use but it's not the primary or most common one, and not everyone who has their data collected is in an urban environment. The advertising industry is built on the mass gathering of data and manipulation of human psychology, using data to predict a person's income, demographics, and spending habits. People who were paying attention to this as the shift was happening were reassured that more data would help connect people with the things they really needed most effectively, but the reality is less utopian. people can be charged different prices based on what kind of person their ad profile thinks they are. people can be served ads for things they don't need but are prone to buying anyway. advertisers can request that ads for things like homes and apartments only be shown to people belonging to specific age/sex/racial groups. The ads that pay website owners the most are outright scams or malware. this is more of a personal opinion but I think it's an agreeable enough one. all this data about people is generating a lot of income for some people, and the people generating all that data give it away for free without realizing what it's worth. if it's all going to be collected anyway I think users deserve a cut.

  1515.  @Dice-Z  nah, my fetish is people who are responsible enough to take birth control that prevents the formation of a baby instead of killing it because it's inconvenient or they think pregnancy is icky. what REALLY gets me going is someone who chooses a financially stable partner who can support them if they fuck up. But if you get off on abortion, you are more than welcome to pack up and leave. You won't, because you're more enthusiastic about internet arguments than the issue being argued, but the option is there.

  1519. no offense but I don't think a beautiful KDE system is going to drive adoption more than any other distro. ricing is something people do after they've already adopted Linux, so something like Steam OS is going to do a better job of getting people to actually try it out. Finding out your gaming handheld has a full-fledged desktop mode is a better sell to someone who doesn't care about ideals like software freedom.

  1532. ​ @minishaw280 that presumes plastics (substances that are cheap and not particularly strong but are convenient, and don't break down for a very long time once they're reduced to small granules) are absolutely necessary for technological development. a civilization could presumably have made their disposable commodities out of materials that would biodegrade better than what we have now.
    1
  1533. ​ @minishaw280 "always" survives is a bold claim. We now know that certain fungi can break down the polymer chains of plastics. If we suppose there was a prior civilization that used plastic and disappeared leaving plastic behind, the fungi that evolved this ability would have had a good food source for a time, and once the finite repositories of plastic were gone, the fungi that specialized in eating other things would have in turn outcompeted the plastic-eaters.

  1536. ​ @khaoticmage2027  it's a similar problem to Christian entertainment. Most people who want to make entertainment that respects religion think that means it needs to be completely neutered and de-fanged and it doesn't resonate. Nu-right entertainment has some of the same problems but without the heart behind it. If the whole point of your production is as a take-that to dominant culture, its essence is still defined by and reinforces dominant libprog culture.

  1541. ​ @MsOops12 wait until you hear what the original meaning of psycho- in psychology is 😉 but seriously, they believe in something functionally analogous to a soul--if one's personal essence can feel mismatched with their corporeal body in a way that the people in charge have decided should not be treated as a mental disorder and medicated away, but instead with attempting to make the corporeal body approximate the shape and qualities the personal essence desires through invasive surgery and intensive doses of hormones. "gendered brains" are the closest trans apologists get to physical evidence for their condition, but there's no reason to believe in one; barring an experiment from a cheesy scifi movie taking place, your brain and the rest of your body have identical DNA.

I think the rule of not telling people things you don't want them to act on is better enforced in person. everyone knows someone who will do something just because they were told not to even if it's to their own detriment, so use your own judgement on who to give dangerous knowledge to. the internet (or at least the public facing websites on the internet) don't work the same way

  1565. even pop spiritualists like Alan Watts figured this one out! if we can presuppose gendered spirits who fall into the wrong body at the Incarnation Factory, that's not more compelling than the idea that we are all God in disguise, and when we're born into a warzone or in a disfigured body or a deluded mind, we are exactly where we intended to be.

They've been through multiple publishers and even briefly self-published and as of an hour ago there are still people blaming freaking SONY for the problems in BUNGIE. I think it's safe to say the problems in Bungie probably transcend all teams and all pay grades, or close enough. Just a bunch of people coasting on their employer's reputation from 20 years ago, making fugly characters and pushing minimum viable product slop into the market.

  1574. I agree on monotasking, but with music and background noise it depends on your natural level of distractibility. John Von Neumann famously did his best work with lots of background noise intentionally. Some people are the opposite and need total quiet, and many people are somewhere in between. If you can't get into flow you might need to modulate the background noise up or down.
