- Comment on Why do neurotypicals like AI slop? 1 day ago:
That seems absurd, we’d never build a civilization if everyone was at this level of dysfunction or anywhere near a majority, nevermind one with such rigid specific rules.
Yeah, we would.
A) ADHD does not prevent most people from living a normal life
B) most of human society throughout history has not required the level of planning and attention that modern society does
C) ADHD does not matter if you’re a slave or indentured servant who’s going to get beat if they don’t do their job
D) ADHD symptoms tend to lesson with exercise and hard physical labour
And recent surveys have as many as 25% of people suspecting they may have undiagnosed ADHD:

The diagnosed ones generally are, the others are often self medicating in a variety of ways.

For countries like Finland, the Ministry of Defense is not about offense, and is very heavily armed.

LMFAO, you take your ADHD diagnosis too seriously.

- Comment on Could someone please explain/Tldr the Subnautica 2 controversy? I liked the first one, but I'm severely out of the loop. 6 days ago:
Unknown Worlds was created by Charlie Cleveland and was originally a group of developers making a half life mod: Natural Selection.
With its success, Charlie Cleveland and Max McGuire formed the official studio called Unknown Worlds, and then hired more people to make Natural Selection 2.
After Natural Selection 2, Unknown Worlds made Subnautica 1. Charlie Cleveland was the director, designer, and lead programmer on it. Max McGuire was also a programmer on it, Hugh Jeremy was the producer.
After this, Charlie Cleveland moved into a CEO role, Max McGuire moved in the role of company President, and Trey had Ted Gill as CEO.
They released Subnautica Below Zero, which none of them were that involved in to somewhat more middling reviews.
They sold Unknown Worlds to Krafton, and in the contract it had a $250M bonus spread amongst the staff of Unknown Worlds for on time delivery of Subnautica 2.
Allegedly Krafton asked Charlie Cleveland to work on also producing a Subnautica movie, so he was focusing on that.
Apparently at a milestone review Krafton was unhappy with the amount of content that would be in Subnautica 2 early access. They asked the team to increase it by 30%. The team refused and thought it was ready to release.
Krafton then fired the two studio founders (Charlie Cleveland and Max McGuire), the CEO (Ted Gill), and put in a new CEO who delayed the release past the point of the staff getting the $250m bonus.
The studio then pledged to give the staff a $25m bonus instead.
The fired leadership team is now suing Krafton, meanwhile Krafton is claiming that it was just acting in the beat interests of not disappointing gamers.

We all imagine that, is has yet to happen. Vibe coders can produce the spaghetti code of upwards of 10 unpaid interns! What value!

LMFAO, bruh, your categories are 18-29, and 65+.
Your Source literally entirely skips over the age group we’re talking about. You’re not proving strong literacy skills of any kind atm.

No, your notion of morality is accurate, there’s no reason to race to the bottom because someone else sucks more.

- Comment on Thingiverse uses AI to block production of ghost guns 1 week ago:
Wikipedia says that 12% of Finns own a gun, so I’m not sure where you’re getting 38% of households.
Finland also does not allow owning guns for personal protection, open or concealed carry, has mandatory military service, and most of the guns owned are long guns used for hunting and sport shooting. To get a license for a pistol you have to be over 20 and demonstrated over 2 years of experience sport shooting pistols.
- Comment on Thingiverse uses AI to block production of ghost guns 1 week ago:
And yet, America is still the only country with regular mass shootings.
Everyone acts like people are going to be able to start 3d printing guns and ammunition en masse, and get it doesn’t happen anywhere at any significant scale. It’s just defeatist nonsense pushed by gun lovers to convince people not to act.

A population where everyone is armed will also almost certainly have more firepower than a single terrorist group, too.
It will also arm a whole shit of load terrorists, and people just having a bad day.
The power dynamic is between the terrorists and anyone who would oppose them, not just the state.
Yeah, and now you’ve raised the floor massively.
when terrorists are basically always ultimately handled by a military force

- Comment on Trump’s war on windmills started in Scotland. Now he’s taking it global 1 week ago:
It’s so wild. I vacationed in Northern England, about an hour south of Scotland, in Tynemouth, and our whole family found the offshore turbines to be magical.
There’s ruins of like a massive 4-6 story monastery from the 15th century, and it’s wild because the remnants of the one wall, are the tallest thing in town, and have been for centuries. There’s literally paintings and drawings going back centuries showing it, and centuries and centuries of people living in the shadow of this partial massive monument that no longer exists.
It’s super interesting, but there’s also something kind of inherently scary and depressing about feeling like you’re seeing ancient remnants of some massive great thing that can no longer be done.
But then at a foggy sunset we saw the off shore turbines it was genuinely uplifting a dnmagical in a solar pink way. Just the blades peaked out of the fog and similar to the monastery ruins, they looked too big to be created by humans, but these were actually still working. It was one of the most magical moments of the whole trip.

I’m pretty sure half these articles are issued by the companies themselves just to get people outraged and talking about this, just so that they can test the waters and see how many people will defend it.

You haven’t actually proven anything, you’ve just modelled a possible scenario.
- Comment on I'm doing my part 1 week ago:
It requires not allowing the police to be outgunned by terrorists.
Notice that it was after the LA bank robbery in the 90s, where two guys had tons of body armour and military rifles and outgunned the LAPD with their 6 shooters, that you suddenly saw every single police force across the country militarize and by assault rifles, body armour, and APCs.
Notice how in the UK their cops still patrol without guns.
The state will always maintain a monopoly on the top level of violence. The idea of gun ownership to oppose the state is laughable. Notice: right now, no gun owners using them to oppose the state.
- Comment on I'm doing my part 1 week ago:
Changegenerallh comes about from mass mobilization. The French have gotten more concessions from the government and the rich through mass strikes than Americans ever have firing guns. I’m not naiive to the idea that it’s all purely 100% peaceful protest, but one man with a gun rarely makes a significant change in the overall direction compared to hundreds of thousands of people turning out and threatening the economy.

Well in a democracy, presumably the people who vote for politicians. In a democracy with a constitution that guarantees rights and security for non voters then them as well.
- Comment on I'm doing my part 1 week ago:
The state always maintains a monopoly on violence. Otherwise you’d have a terrorist show up and the state would be unable to stop them.
- Comment on Here's what a Brazilian restaurant owner did after city hall banned sidewalk patio tables 1 week ago:
Liquor licensing for restaurants is a think in many places in the world. So are building codes.
There might be some very good reasons for not allowing restaurants to arbitrarily setup chairs on raised platforms with no railings above concrete and then serve liquor up there.
- Comment on I'm doing my part 1 week ago:
No one’s going to argue that there aren’t going to be edge cases that are hard to criticize, but in general, supporting any kind of systemic vigilante justice always leads incredibly quickly to innocent people getting lynched and cycles of reciprocal violence.
