  He probably meant PM which stands for private message.

  Heroic giving GOG an excuse not to get their shit together.

  Maybe it wanted to tiptoe around this specific pedant and failed.

  Glad I didn’t buy the DLC and decided I’ll wait for some sort of definitive edition to play Starfield again. I hope by that point it will be a better overall game and have enough new things to make it worth the time.

  Because the defining quality of a Placebo is how much of anything it receives…

  You missed the point while drawing your circular argument.

  Take what you said and replace fly with human. Wait here I’ll do it for you:

  If a human lacks agency, you would be able to predict its movement given a sufficiently accurate set of information.

  If it has agency, you could not.

  Now tell me how you will acquire a sufficiently accurate set of information about a human and its environment to test your hypothesis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those books are different from how I remembered…⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t understand what you are getting at. You are either saying that you can predict where a fly is going to go when you set it free or you are saying that a fly has internal agency.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those books are different from how I remembered…⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That said, we contain the ability to observe and react to our surroundings which causes a large and complex web of interactions that aren’t trivial to map or anticipate.

  That unpredictablity is what we ultimately define as freedom.

  How does higher uncertainty of my choices achieving what I strive for raise the perception of freedom of said choice?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Explain that, science nerds!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Now you’re just lobbing together people who want to distinguish what exactly it is that needs saving with climate change deniers, conspiracy theorists and antivaxxers. Seems to me you just like boxes, really big boxes, in which to put in all the thing you dislike/disagree with or whatever.

  You don’t care that I disagree with almost everything on your list except for 2 things that I think are really important to be specific about.

  • “Saving the planet”, which I’ve explained
  • ”You drink water, so you’re part of the problem”, which is kind of true if you extrapolate and include it in your decision on if to have children.

  Be my guest, I don’t care enough to continue this conversation beyond this point with a hammer that’s just looking for nails.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Explain that, science nerds!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, let the downvotes come but I’m one of those people. And the point I’m trying to make is that the planet and life itself will survive and probably even be better off without humans.

  Just look at what happened after the extinction event that killed the dinosaurs. Humans are causing the next extinction event and afterwards life will just start fresh again.

  So no, saving the planet is not the goal. Saving humanity and most of all other current life is. And if that’s what you want to accomplish then that’s what you should talk about, specifically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Like a novelty⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why does anyone or anything need to be useful?

  And maybe usefulness depends on the perspective. Maybe this axe could used to demonstrate the importance of material choice in products.

  This is by design. It’s called dark patterns.

  I thought you meant mouse wheel as in hamster wheel and I was really confused at the end of your post title.
