  This is one of the things that got me really skeptical about some kind of prefdictions.

  In the last century some people assured, swore on their lifes, that by now we wouldn’t have oil left.

  Turns out they didn’t really know what they were talking about.

  Oil is a non renewable resource (like so much others), but there’s still a lot of it. Non likely to dissapear in our lifetimes.

  There would be two logical explanations.

  1. Your environment is not the same as the environment of other people.
  2. Your expectations about people are different to other people.

  That’s ok, everyone life is different.

  Ok

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As people get older they tend to have less and less and less friends.

  Mostly because we keep discarding disappointing people from our lives.

  Which is better than keeping toxic people around. But it’s a shame that most people doesn’t even pass the basic “human decency test”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  People feel lonely and human iteration is, most of the time, horrible for many people.

  I prefer to talk to myself out loud, but I’ve seen many people resorting to AI to just chat about things, and to be honest I get the feeling of wanting something supportive and positive in your life.

  Solution would be to people to stop being douchebags.

  If I wanted my job to like this I would have become an actress.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Censorship" ☠️⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess it’s not.

  Same as yaoi or yuri, it doesn’t need to be sexual. I’m not actually expert on the matter.

  I remember watching this famous anime “made in abyss” the drawing style is clearly loli, and there are some heavy loli tones on it. But as far as I’ve seen there’s no sexual content in it, (though I’ve read that the author is indeed shady about sexual content involving minors).

  That gives another differentiate factor. There are people that might like lolicon just for the cuteness like hello kitty or something like that. I didn’t actually thought about that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heh heh⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Put it on a bottle, and when the bottle is full take it to the used oil recycling bin in my neighborhood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Censorship" ☠️⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This thread is a firestorm but I’m going in, wish me luck.

  I think is a connotations game here. Lolicon have less bad connotations than paedophile.

  The world paedophile makes you think of a criminal, someone who have content that was made hurting children. Someone who probably has hurt children themselves. Despite the more profound consideration that a paedophile might or might not act on their impulses, the connotation on the word is that.

  Then there is the word lolicon. That word have a different connotation. Here you think about some anime geek with terabytes of drawn naked kids. But you don’t tend to associate their behavior with real kids. Regardless on the possibility that lolicons do hurt children or also have material that hurt children. The connotation of the word is that their obsession only focus on the drawn naked children.

  Most people in general consider drawn pictures of children less harmful or even not harmful at all compared to actually abusing kids. So one word really doesn’t have the same weight as another.

  Then, we have the question. Using a word with more/less weight is justified here or not?

  We all now some paedophiles have rebranded themselves as MAPS, precisely trying to shake of the bad connotations of paedophile.

  Is this the same case? Is using lolicon trying to evade the “paedophile tag” or is it something actually different?

  I get the disgusting feeling about lolicon. But personally I do think is essentially different to what we normally think about a paedophile. If someone told me “X is a paedophile” I would as “so are they in jail?”. But if someone tells me that “X is q lolicon” I won’t assume that they have done something deserving jail time, I’ll probably be wondering if they are also a paedophile, but the fact that I think of it as an “addition” means to me that those are not the same.

  On another differentiate fact. I think it’s not uncommon for people to accidentally see lolicon, it has happened to me. Looking for some yaoi you might end up opening a lolicon manga, or maybe you watch an anime and have some lolicon tones. The normal reaction is not liking it and move on, but it’s not a traumatic experience. I have luckily never watch CP but if somehow it was accidentally showed to me I think it would be a traumatic experience that probably would scar me for life.

  So, on the bases that I think different things when I think about each of those words I do not think that’s an accurate translation.

  Then there is the question to people who do think those two terms are the same. Do you truly think those two terms refer to the same thing or you just feel so disgusted by lolicon that you want the term lolicon to be viewed with as much disgust as people see paedophile?

  I live in a opt-out system. That means we are all donors unless we explicitly said the contrary.

  I have never heard of a murder for an organ match.

  Also I think we are the top one or two in the world on organ transplants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie dev defends criticism of Steam refund abuse amid review bombing of his game: 'It's wrong to refund a game after having fun with it and completing it'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is going to translate into “more sells” same as drm.

  People who want to pay will pay. People who doesn’t want to pay won’t ever pay. With digital media there’s objectively any loss if someone who didn’t pay played your game. So just let it be, you are not going to sell more just because you removed or made smaller the steam refund window.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A lot of people who try to start a religion are seen as mentally ill. Like Jim Jones, David Koresh, the UFO guy, and L Ron Hubbard. Then could it be a safe bet that Jesus was mentally ill?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Jesus was 50% terrorist, 50% delusional.

  Jesus was Jewish as we all know. But he was not the main Jewish faith. He was part of the Baptist cult. As his friend/family John the Baptist. When John gets executed, Jesus radicalized.

  It’s a story old as time, someone in a movement gets killed and the movement becomes far more radical. That happened with the Baptist cult which were opposed to the mainstream Jewish faith of the moment. Jesus took the leadership role with his friends, and was probably delusional about the whole thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie Dev Says Game Refunded 55,000 Times Via Steam Loophole⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If someone doesn’t want to pay for your game they would just pirate it.

  I get that’s a disappointment for the publisher seeing a sale and then seeing that sale dissapear. But AFAIK they do not have to do anything, Steam manages the refund for them, so it’s harmless.

  But my country said Nuclear is scary and that we should burn fossil fuels instead.

  I’m not sure about that. Each time there’s conflict between Romani gangs and Muslim gangs the fascists always cheer for the Romani.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Entombed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Modern Hinduism precisely changed a lot to compete and stay relevant when other faiths starting to show up in India.

  It became much less focused on the polytheism and much more focused on philosophy like Buddhism.

  Their own polytheistic beliefs has been shaped to be more similar to the Christian trinity. And many gods are seen as part of one supreme God.

  It’s just natural evolution of religions. In ancient times religions where about explaining natural phenomena. Thus we had the god of the sea, the god of the sun, the god of the rain, etc.

  As those things got explained by science the gods needed to become more philosophical and vague.

  Also societies got bigger. You used to have the god of your tribe, and rhe tribe next to you had another god, a d you fight one against the other. Then people lived in empires, with millions of people under an unique faith. To keep them all united a single good and a well structured religion is more useful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Entombed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think monotheistic messianic religions were kind of unavoidable seeing how in every part of the world they have been the most successful religions once societies become more complex and interconnected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Entombed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also human race has committed atrocities against the environment since our earliest days.

  Back in prehistoric times hunter parties used to create wildfires to hunt animals, completely disregarding the environmental damage of burning great amount of lands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG seemingly shares that they are considering physical PC 'big box' games. Maybe?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If they came with manual, posters, artwork and all the goodies of old game boxes could be a win.

  Also better done with completed games that are no longer to be updated.

  For an empty box with a cd that once installed you need to download a 50Gb patch for it to be playable would make no sense.

  Retro games and indie games, the golden combo.

  They all run in potatoes, are fun, unique, doesn’t have anti-consumer practices built in. It’s all golden.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Steam were to shut down tomorrow how much money would you have lost in total on games / DLC ??⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I keep a copy of the generic steam crack on my computer. It’s very well tested. So as long as I had the files on my computer I would only lost access to the very few games I have that use a different drm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can’t we swap our minds today?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the difference between trying to stitch together a pipe and trying to stitch together perfectly one by one all the threads of a cord.

  We cannot even reattach those cords within the same person when part of them break (spinal damage) much less do a transplant.

  As a European I’m with you.

  There isn’t even AC in schools. Children are let there to boil practically.

  Hilariously enough we have legislation that says that schools shouldn’t be above 27°C but there isn’t any real solutions to avoid that, unless they would put a tax on the sun for overheating the classrooms or whatever.
