@JustinWhang "Solvable without a guide" has been debatable. People say you need a guide for La Mulana and La Mulana 2 but I did it without, though got stuck for weeks at a time and had a notebook for both. Baba is You is another fantastic game where you figure out the rules as you go.
@The_Davos_Man -were very largely opportunistic, looting stores and torching their own local businesses and cars and stores. Similarly, in these riots, I expect the violence to go towards police, government, and migrant buildings, and I'd admonish those looting or vandalizing for the sake of it
@The_Davos_Man Both sides are hypocritical about this, but I will grant that there's a lack of actual specific principles about this. I personally was down for even rioting if they targeted police stations or other government buildings, as they were the perpetrators of injustice. They actually-
@michaelpierse It's fascinating how all you pieces of shit are able to use your brains and think of ulterior motives as a concept when you have to be racist and disgusting towards your own white citizens, but when there are muslim lead or black lead riots looting shit, they're all heroes
@justdavenow89@TheNorfolkLion If it can't be done safely, it won't be done at all. You used to be able to count on the government to vet who is safe to cross the border, in which case immigration is fine. When they not only let in, but keep confirmed rapists, thieves, murderers etc. then there is no safety.
@Rikalii I don't think for abstract concepts that are used to categorize real objects, there needs to be a 100% accuracy requirement. That would imply categorization by itself is pointless, as almost nothing has clean categorization to that degree. You're invalidating "definitions" fully.
@TanDhesi They are coming for your fucking giant knives that you carry around town that can very clearly be used to kill innocent people. If you want to live in a multicultural society, you have to make some sacrifices. So no, they won't "be coming for you"
@mikromangorine It's multiple things. He is raping the original her, but he's absolutely not raping the "new her" that took over the body. That new her is also a person, and their behaviour can be very parallel to untreated BPD. There can be multiple layers here.
@minordissent The difference is that this is literally true for children, and just a made up misogynist premise for women, who are, or at least should be treated as, fully functional adults.
1. Smart people are often, if not usually, very irrational. I grew up with a mid-140s-IQ-tested dad who believed in Biblical literalism. Intelligence is just a powerful engine, it says very little about your ability to steer.
2. Most prestige in our civilization is built around powerful engines. You get good test scores, pass hard classes, you are 'smart', and we stamp you with phDs and titles like Economist or whatever.
3. (Having well-rounded skills can help but does not save you. You can be a charming top-tier artist who still falls for a crypto scam).
4. Our civilization has very little explicit study into being *rational* - which is, imo, something like 'holding true beliefs'. You might be like 'well 'true' is relative', it's people just disagreeing about values all the way down - but I think this is wrong! There *is* such a thing as 'correct' - you can do things like cure cancer or lift people out of poverty, those are real things!
5. If we want to optimize for people steering in correct directions, we might do things like "have them make predictions about the way things will go, and then track how accurate they are." We might force them to "make beliefs pay rent", where you regularly put your beliefs into positions with high stakes so you can't just conveniently 'not notice' when you're wrong. There's a *ton* of stuff to do in this domain that is completely abandoned by people in academia (though you can find it in stuff like investment funds where they actually end up hurting if they're wrong).
5. When I say smart *and* rational, I mean people who are very good at steering in correct directions, with enough power to get there. I don't think most people in this culture even have a conception of these as meaningfully different!
>Ludwig says Madoka Magica is a good show
>Others imply you're a Pedophile for watching it
>They fantasize about hurting a coworker if they watched Madoka Magica
You can't hate tourists enough and how violent they are
@LordofCinder24 Sadly you're right about most of the invaders being meta dogshit, but you can be the change you want to see. I was only ever invading as creative or cosplay or off meta builds, and always dry fingered, and still won 95% or so of encounters.
