- Comment on I saw Free Willy in theaters: AMA 1 day ago:
Even family can be a kind of freedom and loneliness a desolate prison. Mutual appreciation is what matters. Enjoy yours

- Comment on If we're living in a simulation, why would the simulation creators allow the sims to ponder and speculate whether or not they live in a simulation? 3 weeks ago:
Replace simulation with book where only a framework is defined and and the plot is built within the set rules.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 3 weeks ago:
Yes, in a world where judges can’t be bought and criminals don’t get Epstein’d.
I want fair justice as much fair justice can be attained by humanity. But in that kind of world, this type of murderer wouldn’t exist in the first place.

From an imaginary point of view, one could view it as a rendition of Ender’s game and transform these runs into models of potential attack vectors.
For example, a very specific silly scenario would be rearranging microbial growth in the shape of a Super Mario level and then using miniature robots to deliver a compound into a pinpoint location to be released after regular activities resume.
Think of it as having prearranged templates that reduce the risk of errors to a minimum.
- Comment on Are illegal streaming sites really getting shut down a lot lately or has it always been like this? 1 month ago:
Yes, my answer diverged from the topic. I was caught up in a chain of thought of my own when I posted and didn’t realize it.

Piracy is changing in a different way than expected. Before, viruses were mostly of the type that do damage for fun or steal some game accounts. But all that was left behind.
Nowadays, it’s all about stealing your cryptocurrency or making your hardware mine cryptocurrency, organized crime ransomware and government agencies hijacking your shit to spy on its own citizens or rival countries.
With the shift towards a higher digital presence, so do the dangers grow exponentially.
- Comment on PPSSPP multiplayer questions 1 month ago:
Hello there. If you’d like to go on a wild goose chase, I can tell you that some years back on the PPSSPP forum there was a thread asking about this sort of thing. If you can find it and if it received an answer, then you might be able to solve this conundrum.
Have fun!
- Comment on Innocent Israelis, Bad Arabs? How the Media Scripted Amsterdam's Soccer Violence 1 month ago:
The news I saw made it clear it was a bunch of fanatical “ultras” football fucks that saw some Palestine flags and started damaging property willy-nilly to take them down.
These bunch of shitheads call themselves fans, but all they know is to cause trouble and make a mess.

Is bare cave a pleonasm?
- Comment on Is it okay to take drugs to make yourself a better person? Does it make a difference if "better" is mental or if it's physical? 2 months ago:
Seeing as how this topic isn’t part of Rule 3 for which the answer is to go seek professional help, nor is there a rule specific to stupid answers, I’m gonna go ahead with this one.
…
Not really. If you need drugs to make yourself a better person, once you’ve made your life as that better person and the drugs run out, will that life still be compatible with the drugless you? Will you still be able to handle it? To like it? For it to like you? How desperate will you be to find an alternative?
And every drug has a downside, a cost both physical and mental. Have you informed yourself what that cost is? And I’m not talking about the success stories, if it’s not obvious, I’m talking about the ones that took any of these drugs and it failed them. Can you handle those kind of results? If you can’t take into account the cost of failure and whether it outweighs the cost of success, then that drug isn’t for you.
Also, I’d ignore the “go for it” type of comments. Their bias is the equivalent of a “bootstraps” type of success story and not that much reliable. A more reliable success story is that of fighter planes:
Initially, engineers looked at bullet holes in the fuselage to figure out which areas to strengthen and have fewer planes downed. When that didn’t work, some smartass said that if a hit downed a plane, then it won’t make it back to base. So the engineers strengthened the areas without bullet holes instead.
Well guess what, the downed planes won’t make it to Lemmy and tell their stories to you. Imagine that.

I think one of the Shepard backgrounds was of a colonist kid who survived a slavers raiding party, something for which the Batarians are well known for. Add in the murdering soldier career option and yeah, I can see this happening…
- Comment on Cry harder 2 months ago:
Just so you know, we do apparently have multiple types of tears, each with their own chemical composition. Each emotion tastes different.
- Comment on It's a matter of perspective 2 months ago:
I can think of a few ways, but considering where this is posted, there’s no need to overthink. Just keep it simple.

But is it DATA or DATA?
- Comment on How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality. 2 months ago:
I heard a similar thing. But a bit more complicated. It wouldn’t be just the eyes, but all senses used by the brain to edit a filtered vision of reality.
And while the eyes take in everything they’re capable of, the brain only focuses on what it considers important. Which is probably false due to the many, many times one will search for something within their cone of vision, yet are unable to see it.
So while I’m not sure of the details, the brain can be thought of as choosy with what it shows.
