which will also have the opposite of their intended effect and create more crime via black markets, trafficking etc.

everyone’s pro-environment when it’s their own back yard getting converted to concrete.

3.1 million dollars.
who’s running the FAA now Dr Evil?
- Comment on RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings. 4 days ago:
Instead of making suicide harder, we should be treating the root cause of suicide
Or… both?
If people get hurt due to gun accidents, I highly doubt they’d be happy if we took their guns away, since that’s like solving traffic deaths by banning cars.
it’s not even remotely the same thing since cars’ primary purpose is not killing.
Suicides and gun accidents are certainly interesting statistics, but mixing them with homicides just makes it harder to see what’s going on and arrive at effective solutions.
it doesn’t really. what does make it harder to arrive at effective solutions is making any excuse possible to avoid gun control.
- Comment on RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings. 5 days ago:
why should we exclude suicides and accidents?
- Comment on RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings. 5 days ago:
the comment wasn’t about fox news specifically, it was about news in general. like it or not, we need news agencies to cover what these people are doing.
- Comment on RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings. 5 days ago:
It’s straight disinformation. Nevermind that everyone else plays the same games, let’s cherry pick the one western nation that has a comparable number of guns per capita and not think about that any further.
- Comment on RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings. 5 days ago:
Because they control the country and people should know what they are doing. It’s not that complicated.
- Comment on RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings. 5 days ago:
is the news supposed to NOT cover what the government is doing?
- Comment on RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings. 5 days ago:
this is so obviously false it’s enfuriating coming from the head of HHS. Lots of coutnries all over the world have the same violent video games we do without the mass shootings.
- Comment on Spotify is finally launching support for lossless music streaming 5 days ago:
he’s more than anti vax. he’s an anti-science conspiracy monger.
- Comment on Reddit is dropping subscriber counts on subreddits: Users will now see seven-day metrics that track active visitors and contributions instead. 5 days ago:
seems to make sense on the surface. inactive users are kind of a useless metric.
- Comment on If you miss old network multiplayer games, or would like to try them with your friends for the first time, may I suggest setting them up via SoftEtherVPN? 6 days ago:
i don’t think tailscale will fork for this since it’s L3 and old lan games typically work on L2. Zerotier is a similar service that is L2 and should work.
- Comment on If you miss old network multiplayer games, or would like to try them with your friends for the first time, may I suggest setting them up via SoftEtherVPN? 6 days ago:
if you run into issues with softether, zerotier might offer a more streamlined experience.

fuck plex for plenty of other reasons, but you can disable authentication on local networks.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 1 week ago:
they are related and compound each other. it’s harder to “git gud” if you have to do a bunch of runbacks too.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 1 week ago:
disagree. they are related and absolutely add to the difficulty of learning how to beat a new boss. it’s way easier to develop a strategy and muscle memory if you can retry the boss fight as soon as possible without having to redo other sections of the game first.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 1 week ago:
if i purchase a game, you bet your ass i feel entitled to play the whole thing.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 1 week ago:
well if you buy the game and it’s difficult enough to keep you from playing it all the way through that’s kinda shitty.
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 week ago:
15-20 years is silly. Intel was the clear leader for a long time before Ryzen in 2017, and arguably a few years after that too.
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 week ago:
yeah quicksync is the only reason i put an intel in my NAS.
- Comment on Age Verification Is A Windfall for Big Tech—And A Death Sentence For Smaller Platforms 1 week ago:
there needs to be a 3rd party age verification separate from the site/service. the people with my identity info don’t need to see what i’m doing on the site, and the site doesn’t need to know my identity any more than a general age group.
- Comment on OpenAI announces AI-powered hiring platform to take on LinkedIn 1 week ago:
i doubt microsoft cares. they’re going to be competing in the space wherever they are, might as well be paying for azure while doing it. Azure probably hosts many companies that compete with microsoft in some way:
- Comment on MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline 1 week ago:
jfc, i’m not an idiot. yes, i verified everything and bought the plants from a local nursery that only selss native plants.
- Comment on MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline 1 week ago:
sad that people knee jerk downvote you, but i agree. i think there is definitely a productive use case for AI if it helps you get started learning new things.
It helped me a ton this summer learn gardening basics and pick out local plants which are now feeding local pollinators. That is something i never had the motivation to tackle from scratch even though i knew i should.
- Comment on 007 First Light – Gameplay Reveal 1 week ago:
yeah this feels more like Splinter Cell with all the climbing and sneaking. Bond spycraft is more social engineering and charm.
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 1 week ago:
the point is, the cost/benefit calculation will change over time as the price of everything goes down. It’s not a forever “no point”.
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 1 week ago:
it’s not exactly “there is no point”. It’s more like “the cost to film and broadcast in 8k is not economically feasible”.
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 1 week ago:
it depends on how big your tv is in your field of view, so a function of size and distance. and obviously how good your vision is.
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 1 week ago:
i heard the same comment about 1080p and 4k porn but here we are.
