Not likely under fascism or oligarchy, you need a functional legislature and judiciary for that sort of justice.
- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 10 hours ago:
For decades James Randi offered a million dollars for any evidence of supernatural shit that can be tested. Many people tried, but none were able to produce evidence to earn the money.
If ghosts were a very rare occurrence and only 0.00001% of all dead people produced ghosts we would still be completely overrun by ghosts everywhere, they were would mundane in how common they are. And that’s not counting ghost animals, ghost dinosaurs, etc.
The impulse to believe in ghosts can be explained as well. For most of human evolutionary history we had predators (cats, bears, wolves, hyenas, etc). If you heard a noise in the bush and didn’t assume it came from an agent you were more likely to be ambushed than if you assumed it was an agent even when it was just the wind. The survival trait biased us towards assuming agency even when it’s not. When you hear a noise in your home at night your first though isn’t settling foundations, it’s intruder.

- Comment on Stereotyping is wrong. 3 days ago:
If we’re talking about politics like loudness ordinances and funding for road projects and whether the fire department needs a millage we can share the same values or same values with different priority orders no problem on the different politics.
If we’re talking about whether some people deserve rights or racism or if laws don’t some to some people then it’s more than a politics difference, it’s a values difference.

- Comment on Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people? 1 week ago:
I think we all just destress differently & there’s some games where you can make a mess or cause chaos, but some folks like a challenge to overcome like souls games finally beating a boss, climb a leaderboard, get x rank elo, etc. Others build a farm or speedrun shooting demons or just keep replaying the same nostalgic games.

- Comment on A succulent meal 2 weeks ago:
Reminds me of a pretty recent game called Pentiment that’s like an old school point and click adventure about a murder in a middle age German Abby where a bunch of conversations happen over meals & who you eat with can have an effect on a bunch if stuff in the game. it was pretty cool to include and I’m guessing they tried to go for some accuracy considering how much detail they use on the foods.

- Comment on Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. 2 weeks ago:
Leverless controllers are pretty OP, you can hit both forward and back at the same time making movement inputs way faster for some moves & once you get used to it s mechanical keyboard feels about the same

The difference between that and a modern standard controller for like an Xbox or playstation feels like the difference between a modern standard controller and something like this where you can keep both thumbs on the sticks and have access to all the shoulder and face buttons at the same time

It is curious how business articles never quote labor leaders or people with a larger interest in the commons/public domain than private equity and capital.
- Comment on CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant 3 weeks ago:
People with the message and reach to call for mass general strikes and national scale marches on DC still think they can stop fascism with elections. Maybe I’m just too cynical in that regard to see the true situation but it seems after continued release of evidences of impeachable and heinous crimes Congress and the DoJ are firmly on the side of the fascist, pedophile political cult.
- Comment on 'Go Back and Play Morrowind and Tell Me That's the Game You Want to Play Again' — Former Bethesda Veteran Delivers His Verdict on Potential The Elder Scrolls Remasters - IGN 3 weeks ago:
Morrowind would be a GOTY release if it came out today and made it so 1. running stamina loss only happened in combat, 2. low combat skills caused lower damage instead of lots of misses, and 3. draw distance was further than 10 feet away then fog.
- Comment on Buttcoin 4 weeks ago:
Infinitely divisible deflationary assets can be used as currency and savings, if enough large markets like grocers, Walmart, Amazon, etc accepted it as payment the price would stabilize against speculative investment like trading in foreign currency. Right now I think it’s overinflated from speculative investment, but the cryptography is secure and public ledger is an improvement I think.
- Comment on TikTok uninstalls are up 150% following U.S. joint venture 4 weeks ago:
The fascists are doing a hard push on all social media in general ramping up at least since a few weeks ago. Seth Andrew’s thinking atheist channel was dropped for no reason from yt, which by itself isn’t unheard of, but several other popular religious debate channels (deconstruction zone, allegedly Ian, etc) are seeing a huge drop in opposition, religious callers starting at the same time when much of those were coming from TikTok giving them a fair shake at recommendations based on their view counts. Yt is delisting or excluding from search results videos more now instead of demonetizing as well.
