  I should add… I also take self defense very seriously, I lived in a town with active neonazis for a good portion of my adult life (outside of my control)

  My willingness to engage with strangers is backed up by street smarts, heavy emphasis on situational awareness, and a disarming personality. I also keep pepper spray in my hand in my coat pocket at all times and I carry a handgun.

  IMO nobody should let low scam resistance and physical vulnerability stop them from engaging with strangers if they have the ability to properly mitigate these risks. Wise up, get training, become exceptionally dangerous so you have the choice to be exceptionally kind.

  If weapons are offputting to you due to cultural or political reasons, get fit and allow yourself to sprint the other direction if you feel threatened. This is the best way to win 90% of self defense encounters anyways.

  When I was growing up, attending Jewish day school, my Rabbi taught me that an opportunity to help a stranger is a gift. I would entertain the question and I recommend that you do too in the future. Obviously you don’t need to comply with any unreasonable requests but typically a stranger is only going to ask you for something that takes like 2 minutes of your time and no real loss.

  Helping people is enriching and will give you a sense of well-being in this fucked up grim world. You come out ahead in these situations. On the flip side, it’s clear that refusing this stranger is eating at you at least a little and has done some tiny damage to your soul, strictly figuratively speaking.

  GrapheneOS btw.

  No proprietary software in my life other than games.

  Don’t need AI to code.

  nasty and inconsiderate

  that effect is usually only used as like a “drunk” shader in games, it’s not really motion blur so modern games aren’t going to be using it for that. however that first person weapon model ghosting is one of the most prominent and complained about drawbacks of TAA specifically so I’m confident in saying that’s what the artist had in mind there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon makes a modern game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  there’s no blur there. that type of ghosting is incredibly indicative of TAA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon makes a modern game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  you can thank TAA for that

  I said so far cause I think that in like 150 years science will have advanced enough to make the quadrillionaire oligarchs undying and unkillable

  Good save

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good shit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I may be contemplative but I’m not refined, I’m quick to anger, and I treat my body like shit. I’ll never be him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good shit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s because it’s not an insinuation. I think if you take off the bad vibes only lens it’s pretty obvious that this is a sarcastic way of describing a type of man who is refined and contemplative, probably not quick to anger, cares about their health. And these are painted as desirable traits since this is a guide on how to attain them.

  I think you could stand to try to make sense of nuanced irony a little better. You would at least be a little less agitated day to day.

  You’re delusional in the other direction. Take the normalpill, bro. Reality is more or less neutral to you almost all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Generational differences⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  dude, 15 minutes? I watched my friend take a dab for the first time and he was unresponsive for two fucking hours. He was standing upright staring at the horizon without moving an inch. He only spoke once, about an hour in, and he said “time is nothing”

  At this point, if we were smart, we would recognize that this thing is going nowhere and leverage it to drive the renewables market. The planet will be sterile before any revolution happens. Capitalism is another thing that is going nowhere. But you can fold it in on itself to trick it into actually doing something good for a change.

  Gotta play the hand you’re dealt.
