• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  and steam needs data centers and servers and power and all the stuff to keep those running. ultimately though it didn’t matter. if steam thinks that their ecosystem is worth charging that much, then it’s up to the dev to decide if what steam provides is worth it to them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I would also be confused⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  by the time someone tells you directly they are annoyed by something you have done, it’s gone past the “ i don’t like it but i’m going to just deal with it” stage.

  you are saying this like the terms of the required action are dictated by the oppressed, and they bear the responsibility of the result. but that is wholly decided by the regime. if your asking people to weigh the cost of freedom verses the ease of tyranny, just remember that time does not make the cost any more palatable, it makes it worse.

  just throw some bartenders friend in there and very lightly scrub it, it’s not the pressure it’s the action, and you will see metal again in no time

  if “I” were the one confused, then AI would actually be USEFUL.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨you're doing ReSeArCh rong!!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  no.

  steroids are a specific thing, and are not used in vaccines. steroids can’t cause autism even if that was the case. vaccines can not cause autism at all. vaccines work by incapacitating a viral or bacterial agent, sprinkling some red flag on it and dumping it in your system for the immune system to stumble across

  autism is a developmental issue, either selected genes at conception mess with developmental plans, or something interrupts development before birth. vaccines do not have a chance to be administered before that period is over.

  also!

  GMO’s are a meaningless designation to determine harm in any regard. all it dictates is whether humans have in any fashion altered the organism. bananas are GMO not because we went mad with genetic code splicing, but because we artificially selected for maximizing the food portion and minimizing the seed output, and use cuttings from the result to grow the same plant over and over. you might as well have said “red foods can also be dangerously although not likely”

  also,

  there are people who do believe in flat earth, because otherwise their religion is false.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism isn't the problem, THIS is the problem, and I've watched it roll over us for 40 years. [3 min. video]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Its a failure of government and a failure of culture not a result of the economic system.

  if the system does not account for its government, or its culture, then the system is wrong, and will fail.

  you can not expect success from a system that fails when up against human nature, its literal purpose is to interface with humans.

  that being said, no system lasts forever and should be considered only as useful as the how effective freedoms are and the length of time it can be maintained

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism isn't the problem, THIS is the problem, and I've watched it roll over us for 40 years. [3 min. video]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Systems are there to solve the human problem, but there is no system that can’t be eventually by people and gamed.

  so what do you do?

  you take on the mind set that nothing is everlasting. you stretch out the good times and you nip the bad times in the bud. maximize responsible individual freedoms, minimize group power. and when the system is no longer able to resist being gamed, you tear it down, and start anew. maybe every 5 generations or so

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism isn't the problem, THIS is the problem, and I've watched it roll over us for 40 years. [3 min. video]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  a system that does not account for abuse will fail. but let’s not be so defeatist. society may go in cycles of rise and decline. we just have to stretch the rise and force the reset early enough to mitigate the harm. and while what comes after the next revolution may fail eventually, the good times should be fought for none the less. and be ever vigilant to remind those whom we entrust power that the leviathan sleeps as long as it’s cared for.

  Oh! then we agree, unregulated capitalism was very dumb.

  if your instinct is to blame human nature, you are wrong. i mean, not wrong that human nature is flawed, but wrong in that you are effectively arguing there can never be a solution to anything.

  solving problems requires tackling the human element. and often times means holding people accountable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI says over a million people talk to ChatGPT about suicide weekly⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the machine does not judge, the operator may, but that is not really a factor to many but is an abstract invasion. you can’t whisper your problems to the person sitting next to you without multiple companies trying to sell you a solution.

  to someone in need an ai is an attractive option, this has no bearing on if that machine is qualified to do so. and while i get the urgency to move people over to any better option, shame is the quickest way to push someone to the end of the rope.

  do not blame those who struggle. any port in a storm

  i am sure shaming people who feel the need to open up about their feelings of suicide to an unjudging machine is a great idea.

  no i am the kind of person who can’t find his music, but when i do find them, i listen to them into the ground, i think my play list is like an hour and a half tops? music falls out of rotation as fast as i add to it. not really streaming capable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨save the planet 🌎⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  what are you talking about?

  the equivalent use in your example would be the fire department getting an alarm for every building in the world multiple times a day being ok, because they might show up right when a fire breaks out!

  again, you are justifying thousands of pounds of land waste for the very few who might need to use a straw due to some medical issue.

  it would be better to not use straws, and just have them purchasable by those who need them for medical reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨save the planet 🌎⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s literally the edge case, and insignificant to the actual point being made. you excused like a few thousand uses of the straw, maybe. don’t excuse the thousands of metric tons thrown out every year

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh Jesus he is cooked⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  he actually didn’t dodge anything, nor did he make a good point.

  he stated that morals and right and wrong are immutable/unchanging.

  so Charlie is now trapped to make a choice,

  A. he’s wrong and morality is dependent on the situation, and so his whole platform regarding how he treats minorities has no justification.

  B. he’s wrong and his god purposely demanded atrocities, and was wrong in the past, and is fallible, in which case his whole platform can’t be considered moral based on the teachings of his god.

  so his answer is he still didn’t like it, which is him admitting defeat but refusing to decide in which way he believes his god is wrong

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh Jesus he is cooked⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  no one questioned his RIGHT to say anything.

  you can’t question someone’s feelings over what he said. so your quote is less then meaningless here
