- Comment on What is the point of posting on the fediverse if it is going to be moderated similarly to Reddit? 1 day ago:
I left for the opposite reason. Reddit does not have enough moderation, and they gave me a temp ban for reporting someone advocating political violence.

Its Orwellian double-speak. It implements restrictions on how people in Montana are allowed to use their personal property (computers) where no restrictions existed before.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 1 week ago:
Dungeons and Dragons 5e is less fun than 3.5e IMO.
There was more of a sense of character progression, and ability differentiation in 3.5e.
5e achieves balance by flattening the power curve.
For example, the attack bonus for a level 20 Fighter in 5e is just 4 points higher than it was at level 1 - same as a 5e Wizard. Both get +2 at lvl 1 and +6 at lvl 20
In 3.5e, a level 20 fighter’s attack bonus is 19 points higher than it was at level 1 (+1 to +20), but a wizard only gains half that much fighting prowess as they level up (+0 to +10).
All 5e characters are pretty much the same statistically & mechanically. Differentiation comes from role play, which is the least interesting part of the game for me.

The most disappointing part of school is taking a 101 class and making a bunch of deductions based on what you learn, and then taking the 201 and learning that other people had the same ideas first.

- Comment on Oblivion leveling guides be like: 1 month ago:
Weakness to Magic stacks exponentially with itself when it comes from 2 different spells.
For example, lets say you have 2 spells with Weakness to Magic 100% for 6 seconds: Spell 1, and Spell 2.
Spell 1: target becomes 100% weak to magic
Spell 2: target becomes 2100% = 200% weak to magic recast Spell 1: target becomes 2200% = 400% weak to magic recast Spell 2: target becomes 2*400% = 800% weak to magicAnd so on. After a few stacks of that debuff, and you can 1-hit-kill any foe with a spell that deals damage.
Weakness to Magic also works on the player character and it will amplify the effect of buffs. Stacking it before casting your buff spells lets you walk around with millions of health, stamina, and mana for short periods of time.
- Comment on What is lunch like in exclusive private schools for rich kids? 1 month ago:
the school’s owner siphons off all the resources, leaving very little for the teachers, staff, and students to utilize.
2 guys cook cafeteria fare for the whole school - they don’t have time to get fancy. they want to make good food, even though they don’t get paid very well, but the ingredients they’re given are mid shelf cans of things purchased from bulk warehouse stores like Costco or Sam’s Club or whatever the local equivalent is. it tastes decent and checks all the nutritional boxes, but is less exciting than food you can make at home or buy from a restaurant.
- Comment on Intel in early talks to add AMD as foundry customer 1 month ago:
They’re still talking about doing it if they can’t raise enough money to make it through the next R&D cycle. The deals with Nvidia and USA’s federal government gets them about half way there.

peoplehuman livestock who need medical treatment to live are allowed to die, then the babies of the survivors will be cheaper to maintain because they’ll need less medical treatment - Comment on US Department of Homeland Security Data Hub Exposed Sensitive Intel to Thousands of Unauthorized Users 1 month ago:
The memo about the HSIN-Intel breach specifically mentions, for instance, a report discussing “protests relating to a police training facility in Atlanta”—likely the Stop Cop City protests opposing the creation of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center—noting that it focused on “media praising actions like throwing stones, fireworks and Molotov cocktails at police.”
What medias are throwing molotovs at cops, and why are the cops praising them for it?

Well, that and the companies doing it are also a litigious scourge on traditional farmers, and are responsible for causing cancer in conventional farm workers, and are suspected to be the ones responsible for the increase in food allergies.
A hammer is just a tool. They can be used to do a lot of good, potentially. But, if in practice the only thing that hammers ever really got used for is assaulting people, then it might be reasonable for people to give hammers & their manufacturers a bit of side eye.
- Comment on Powell confirms that the Fed would have cut by now were it not for tariffs 4 months ago:
That reasoning is sus.
The tariffs directly cause prices to go up. The inflation-like effect isn’t caused by too-rapid growth of currency supply, so lowering the growth rate & decoupling it from productivity growth risks stagflation.
- Comment on Economcial, Billionaires are the biggest threat to the free market 5 months ago:
When billionaires use those agglomerations of capital to manipulate markets and engage in other types of anti-competitive practices, it turns a free market into a captured market.

Given the ham-handedness of Indian propagandists in English-speaking social media, if their pilots are of a similar quality, then it may have just been a skill issue rather than a demonstration of the quality of the hardware.
