You’re kidding yourself if you think that someone pouring a couple of billion dollars into things like PR etc wouldn’t sway an election in any country
- Comment on Brazil’s First Lady insults Elon Musk ahead of G-20 summit 1 hour ago:
The sad part is that Musk is rich and petty enough that he could buy any election result he wanted in just about any country

Yeah the article mentioned that at some point. It still seems a bit petty to geofence it, instead of just calling it something else
- Comment on These Guys Hacked AirPods to Give Their Grandmas Hearing Aids 3 days ago:
Why is a feature like that geofenced in the first place?
- Comment on ‘It should not taste marine-like’: Would you eat a burger made from processed sea squirts? 4 days ago:
Politely disagree. I think we’re kidding ourselves if right wing conspiracy theorists are the only anti plant based crowd. There’s plenty of otherwise leftist people that would never question this one unjustified hierarchy.
More often than not those people aren’t rabidly against plant-based or other such alternative protein sources, it seems like they just don’t think to consume them.
- Comment on ‘It should not taste marine-like’: Would you eat a burger made from processed sea squirts? 4 days ago:
Especially when the people who generally refuse to eat plant-based proteins are very often also the ones who think any sort of “alternative protein sources” like insects are some sort of woke UN feminist Jewish nazi plot to sap and impurify their precious bodily fluids. Is the average “carnivore” going to be any more interested in eating sea squirt than they are in eating crickets, broad beans, blue lupin, soy beans etc?

Ooo, a carnivore. Which one is that? Aren’t many of them really hard to take care of?

It’s to scale.
Which scale is left as an exercise to the reader.

No thank you
- Comment on This feels wrong. I love it. 2 weeks ago:
Right, sort of my vague understanding as well although it’s been 15 years since my university math courses. My point was more that “1 is a scalar while i is a vector” just didn’t seem correct to me, at least on a general level

- Comment on This feels wrong. I love it. 2 weeks ago:
Far as I understand it (which is not very far), i is a scalar even if you take it to be the complex number 0 + i. Just by itself i is the imaginary unit that’s defined as i = sqrt(-1), and nothing in that says it’s a vector quantity.
Even though complex numbers do extend real numbers into a 2D plane doesn’t mean they’re automatically vectors, and – again, as far as I’ve understood things – they’re still treated as single entities, ie. scalars.

I love this bright spark of a Josh in the comments of the article
Oh Josh, you’re just delusional, there never was a Sarah Palin and that Wikipedia article is a hoax, just like the one for Bielefeld

Due to its small size and weak talons, this predatory bird relies on impaling its prey upon thorns or barbed wire for facilitated consumption
That bird is metal as fuck
- Comment on Targeting gamers 3 weeks ago:
They targeted gamers.
Gamers.
We’re a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We’ll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it’s fun.
We’ll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We’re already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren’t shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We’ve been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that’s already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they’ve threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can’t is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You’re not special, you’re not original, you’re not the first; this is just another boss fight.

- Comment on Blizzard Co-Founder Reveals True Reason For Departure 1 month ago:
as revealed in his new book, Play Nice: The Rise And Fall Of Blizzard Entertainment, […] he could tell when things were starting to fall apart, and a key reason for that was certain “business-minded hires,” including former CEO Bobby Kotick, who came on after the Activision merger.
MBA and MBA-minded parasites ruined shit for everyone? What a shocking revelation!
