I also say in the next sentence I only made it 50 pages in. Not really a fanfic person so hard to judge the quality of it (my prejudice would be that most of it is shite).
- Comment on Anon has learned enough 3 days ago:
Yeah that’s the one - thanks!
- Comment on Anon has learned enough 3 days ago:
There’s a good fanfic series that tries to apply science to the HP universe. I made it like 50 pages into the 300+ page book which is longer than I’d usually read a fanfic for.

This is why I’m adopting if I ever decide with my wife to be parents. Can’t imagine the guilt of my DNA looking me in the eye and asking why “did you make me?”

- Comment on Anon is not satisfied 2 weeks ago:
They are not a great analogy because they at least have a legit use in medicine.
That said, not really sure what the best analogy for SAAS slot machines would be. Even playing them for free you still have the sensation of pulling down on the device (phone screen/machine lever) and then the “spin” with variable rate rewards.

Gallons of GHB laced baby oil is clearly for personal use
- Comment on Lucy Letby alleged to have murdered and harmed more babies 3 weeks ago:
Guilty of the original set of charges as judged by a jury who had access to way more information than random people online. Now there are new charges being added.
I suspect people who are keen on her innocence are similar to other conspiracy theorists who feel important when they are being contrarian.

Is such a good bar. Lives in my head rent-free.
- Comment on Anon has a warning for incels 3 weeks ago:
What makes someone’s personality attractive (there are limits to what you can do about appearances) is self confidence and giving the impression that you have something interesting going on. Essentially you need to seem exciting to be around. That doesn’t even mean like skydiving but just having hobbies you are passionate about.
Self-improvement might be one way of getting there but it’s mainly a case of being comfortable in your own skin. I think this is why so many incels get confused about going to the gym not immediately making them desirable.
Lastly, you need to be genuinely interested in any potential partner as a person. People can sense when they are talking to someone with ulterior motives. This might be the biggest hurdle for hetro mysogynists who don’t see women as people.

- Comment on Anon watches The Whale 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t enjoy it that much. Found it overly sentimental and saccharine. Although to be fair I got the impression if I were a parent it would resonate with me more.
- Comment on Anon watches The Whale 4 weeks ago:
shit pushed in? Sign me up!
- Comment on Anon watches The Whale 4 weeks ago:
The Whale is probably going to be an artefact of its time very soon. Now that everyone has started on ozempic it was probably the last time they could film that story and have it be relatable/recognisable.
- Comment on UK: Chinese asylum seeker allowed to stay in Britain because he “cannot be expected to lie” about his support for Taiwanese independence 4 weeks ago:
I do think that we are taking in too many people from around the world at the moment but I also think this sounds like a reasonable asylum claim. China does not treat its citizens well if they show any interest in politics.
- Comment on Weight loss jabs study begins after reports of pancreas issues 4 weeks ago:
The side-effects would need to be pretty extreme for the cost-benefit analysis to show using weight-loss drugs was more harmful than being obese.
I’m somewhat uncomfortable with the idea of muting some of our reward pathways in the brain though. Anecdotal reports so far have had people saying it has helped them with alcoholism and gambling in addition to losing weight, which makes me wonder if we’re using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. At the same time I don’t have a genetic disposition towards gaining weight so maybe I’d have a different opinion if I’d tried everything else to lose weight and had felt out of options before these drugs came along.

That was the locus of my misunderstanding. Thanks for explaining!
- Comment on Government to ban Palestine Action, home secretary confirms 4 weeks ago:
Tbf, leaving aside the morality of their cause, they broke into and vandalised an RAF base. That’s more disruptive behaviour than most groups who get banned engage in.
- Comment on Anon turns on raytracing 4 weeks ago:
I thought the ultimate goal was to encapsulate the lighting system entirely inside the engine to stop programmers/artists needing to micro manage light sources. Presumably if a game only supported ray tracing then they could interact with an environment at the object level and trust the lighting would work in a life-like manner without having to be confected as part of development.
- Comment on Anon turns on raytracing 4 weeks ago:
Raytracing is being pushed so hard by the industry because it makes things easier for devs as opposed to making the games look better for the customer.
- Comment on :-) 5 weeks ago:
Yeah people get played by their biological urges and evolutionary psychology throughout the entire process. Even newborn babies are programmed to scream intermittently so that the parents are never well rested, and this is theorized to be to prevent the parents from producing another baby in quick succession who takes attention from baby #1.
- Comment on Anon takes an IQ test 5 weeks ago:
I did an online IQ test once but it only consisted of the pattern matching questions, there were like 10 of them and it took 5 mins to complete. This is all a long way of saying I’m pouring shade on its methodology because I got a low score.
