You can’t “fix” human behaviour you can only account for it and adjust.
Our attention will always go towards the moment rather than the constant. (Unless that constant is pain.)
Your favourite actor dies? That’s momentous. You’ll never see them in another production. You upvote it.
A doctor says something you’ve heard a hundred times over? You don’t upvote it. You relegate it to the same place the other ninety-nine went to.
- Comment on Is there a word or (concise) phrase to describe the paradox of sharing something (like a website) that you don't like, but because you're sharing it you're tacitly helping it? 15 hours ago:
The problem is what you’re linking is something you personally disagree with, but that doesn’t mean it’s “bait” in the first place. (I probably should’ve avoided a political example as I think some are getting carried away with that, but it could be anything.)
Different example: I could link something about peanut butter though I hate peanut butter with all my heart and hope it ceases to exist. Yet you’d never call “peanut butter cookies recipe” engagement bait. (Well, probably never…)
The term or phrase has to encompass more than just political sides or something like it. It’s the act of spreading something you personally don’t want to spread. But what you’re helping spread could be benign from most people’s perspectives.

Definitely not exact, but sort of a variation. Hoping for something that hits it specific but for all I know there might not be a precise term for it yet. (Besides “outrage porn” but even that doesn’t hit the nail on the head, just a descriptor.)

- Comment on What are your gaming highlights of 2025? 1 day ago:
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Dave the Diver Another Crab’s Treasure Cataclismo Black Myth: Wukong (*note some of these were Let’s Play’s I watched instead of played as combat mechanics like Clair/Wukong don’t interest me.)
I also spent a lot of time with an old friend, Heroes of Might and Magic V, Tribes of the East.

Pretty good series, pretty sure the author’s an “acolyte” of Brandon Sanderson, so if anyone reading this likes the Cosmere you might like this series as well.
Been on my “reread” list for a while but the list keeps growing…

- Comment on Total War: Warhammer 40k 3 days ago:
Are there gonna be 3 levels now? (Real time battle, planetary overworld, space over-overworld)?
Presumably? There might even be a fourth layer if they go battle/planet/system/interstellar.
Are the space marines gonna march in a phalanx formation?
I doubt it. Round bases man, squares are for fantasy!
But really, I assume they’ll be in a skirmish formation.
Facing is only supposed to matter to vehicles and armour, IIRC.Which space marine is gonna be the princess?
I am! (Actually I love my 'nids so really I’d be a queen.)

I started a Let’s Play of that and liked it so much I quit early on and now it’s on a (lengthy) backlist of games I want to actually play. It looks really fun and I love the aesthetic.
