- Comment on Is laying on your stomach every once in a while good for you? 17 hours ago:
I believe that feeling is decompression and depending on your body different positions will decompress the spine and thus feel good
It probably depends on your specific physiology and also what you’re doing all day
I highly doubt it’s bad for you to temporarily lay on your stomach. Like any posture you should shift position somewhat often just to relieve and shift around the compressive forces on various parts of your body.
For example, I know someone who sat cross legged for too long and it compressed a nerve in their ankle causing permanent nerve damage.

- Comment on Temperature sensitivity feels like it should distinct 1 day ago:
That was your sense of touch reacting to the heat
Touch encompasses a wide range of sensations like soft, prickly, sharp, hot, cold, etc, it’s basically the widest variety of sensation with the most stuff going on.
It’s possible to smell heat because that’s also a touch sensation occurring within your nose or a learned association of the sensation of smelling something hot

- Comment on How will the Military be after this mess with Trump? 1 day ago:
I have much more respect for the soldier that disobeys orders but that’s just me
Following illegal orders is not an excuse and has been rejected for centuries (except by Germans lol)
The [Court of Military Appeals] has held that “the justification for acts done pursuant to orders does not exist if the order was of such a nature that a man of ordinary sense and understanding would know it to be illegal”
- Comment on How will the Military be after this mess with Trump? 1 day ago:
Disrespecting veterans is one of Americas longest traditions. Veterans have lived in poverty for centuries because the government wants them to.
People who volunteer for the military typically do so because they’re in poverty and it’s their best option in life. The military specifically advertises in high poverty areas and also conduct social outreach and minor charity work to drive recruitment.
America needs poverty because it ensures there are always people willing to join the military and work for cheap.

Some people have no choice in what kind of car they can afford to drive.
We all have a very easy choice when it comes to choosing your video games

If you still buy EA games at this point you better not tell anyone because you’re a braindead fuckwit for sending Saudis your money

- Comment on YSK that Apple makes hundreds of millions of dollars with personalized advertising. If you have an iPhone, you should turn it off. 3 days ago:
Apple collects information sure but it’s nowhere near as much as Google does and this is verifiable.
None of these companies are good but Apple is by far the least bad when it comes to respecting your privacy

Google and Facebook don’t enforce these kinds of setting onto their internal apps
When you tell iOS to not share info with applications it actually doesn’t share that info with applications. Facebook sued Apple over this.
Look, I don’t worship Apple but it’s just wrong to say they aren’t wayyy more protective of privacy than almost everyone else

Yeah it’s hard to stay motivated when you keep on meeting just acquaintances
I guess it’s like a good doctor or therapist you gotta just keep on trying and hope you find one among all the rest…
- Comment on Why do some Americans "feel ashamed" for being American even when it's not their fault? 5 days ago:
I believe the shame stems from the moral injury we all suffer when we peacefully stand by in a democracy and let bad people control the government and inflict serious harm on innocents
So in some respect it is in fact all of our faults because we do in fact sit by and watch people die so we can respect the democratic process.

Plenty of smaller developers don’t use AI too and we can simply disagree on whether replacing people with ai just so you can make your video game is misuse.
Like is that really even an excuse? I don’t think it’s ok to harass people but if you want to use ai it seems you should accept the social consequences of review bombing given many people do in fact validly see its use as harmful.
Especially when other small developers don’t use it to make games
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 6 days ago:
Surely ai users know how frequently the technology is used in bad faith and for nefarious purposes
I think having a problem with the backlash is not a valid reason to avoid disclosing ai use.
They should be mature and self aware and have a problem with the people and developers obviously misusing the technology so much instead

Split screen coop/multiplayer
Way too many games only let you do multiplayer with one player and have online only coop campaigns
Used to be pretty standard that a guest could play with you online
