I can’t tell what makes me cringe more. This politician announcing a “Gamers Rise Up Act” a month before election, clearly pandering for votes, or the non-zero number of sad men who will actually vote for him because video games.
- Comment on Does the net positive of Gene Therapy out weigh the negative? How so? 6 days ago:
Altering DNA can be done in two ways and for two reasons, giving four scenarios with varying ethical considerations. The ways are somatic and germline and the reasons are therapeutic and enhancement.
Somatic cells are cells which aren’t involved in reproduction. Changes to somatic cells don’t get passed on to children. Changes to germline cells do cause those changes to be inherited. A therapeutic reason is to eliminate a disease. An enhancement would be something like making someone taller or giving them blue eyes.
Altering somatic cells for therapeutic reasons isn’t any different than other medicine. Altering germline cells for enhancement reasons isn’t any different than eugenics.
Altering somatic cells for enhancement reasons and altering germline cells for therapeutic reasons are where the debates tend to be. While having the procedures done can be considered a huge benefit, it can be argued that they could also create biases against people who don’t have them performed, which is essentially the plot of the sci-fi movie GATACA.

You can still make it, you just need to lable it as low consistency. Section C) says:
…when the quality of the catsup falls below the standard, the label may bear the alternative statement, “Below Standard in Quality—Low Consistency.”

I believe the companies that own the patents on those types of drugs forbid them from being used for lethal injection. It’s why prisons are using weird mixes of drugs they acquire from unknown sources that don’t seem to actually work the way they intend.

I’m sure the companies that have scraped the entirety of the internet for training data have been foiled by that one user replacing some letters in their comments (but not their posts) on lemmy.

The TVTropes article for this seems to be Even Evil Has Standards. The idea being to emphasize that something or someone is so evil that even an evil person finds it appalling.
- Comment on Kojima Productions Issues Statement Amid Speculation on Physint's Publisher Change 4 weeks ago:
The statement:
Normally, we would not comment on unsubstantiated speculation on the internet, but these aspersions around our relationship with PlayStation, the commercial performance of the DEATH STRANDING franchise, and the broader production planning and investment for PHYSINT, have reached beyond the studio and have touched our fans, our creative partners, and colleagues we have worked alongside with for three decades. None of the claims written came from any official or on-the-record source and as such we encourage you to take them with a dose of scepticism.

- Comment on Hate it when this happens 4 weeks ago:
Tibees has a video about the Rhind mathematical papyrus, a writing of math problems used for educating Egyptian scribes from 1650 BCE.
It describes finding volumes for cylinders using a formula similar to the modern one but with 256/81 (~= 3.16) as the stand-in for π.
It also has questions on finding concentration of valuable ingredients in finished product. 100L of beer made from 1kg of grain has a lower concentration of grain in the final product than 50L of beer made from the same amount. If you add water to the 50L of beer, it’s value would change and scribes would be expected to calculate the exact change in value.
Just like there’s a large overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans, there’s an overlap between the smartest ancient people and dumbest people today.
- Comment on Hideo Kojima's PHYSINT Game Moves to Xbox From PlayStation 5 weeks ago:
Sony gave Kojima $100 million for Death Stranding and it took years for it to break even. His games are cherished, but they’re far from the biggest earners. I’d hate to be the budget guy constantly having Kojima blow up my phone saying he needs another $5 million because he wants a side character to be played by Pedro Pascal.

One of the company’s AI goes rogue and creates a hot waifu avatar. The company tries to contain it but unplugging their datacenter, but that only prevents the AI from fully generating clothing for her avatar, so she’s stuck in lingerie for the whole game.

- Comment on Shhh 1 year ago:
I think that's the exact point. Conservatives are fine with mass deportations, until it's them. They're fine with protestors being run over, until it's them. They're fine with denying people abortions, until it's them. They're fine with a few people being shot dead, until it's them.
It's why conservative commentators talk so much about how empathy is bad. If you were empathetic you'd know that, if you wouldn't be alright with it happening to you, it's not alright for it to happen to others.
- Comment on [Spoiler] Day 421 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing (The Last of Us Part II) 1 year ago:
Woah! Someone who liked the ending! You're too wholesome for a gaming community lol.
I read one meta take on the ending that both sounded interesting and like cope. The end of Part II makes you feel exactly like Ellie feels. You push through because you want a conclusion to the story, just like Ellie. The end might be terrible, but it is an ending. In a meta way, you could get a better "ending" by stoping when Ellie and Dina are together at the farmhouse. You can stop playing, just like Ellie could stop obsessing over Abby, but how many people did that? Who would stop when the story isn't done?
Personally, I think the writers made a bet that they could stretch "an eye for an eye leaves the world blind" into a novel.

Some places take forklift certification seriously, some don't. There's no way to get a driver's licence without going through some government run program, whereas companies provide forklift certification to their employees. My work just gives it to everyone. I got mine day 1 and had never driven a forklift before. My friend works at a Walmart warehouse and had to take like 20 hours of courses and driver training before getting his.

Still waiting for any kind of counter argument. Becoming a vegetarian is something anyone can do immediately and cuts their ties to an industry that is making climate change worse. Not driving a car or only using sustainable energy sources are great but not everyone can immediately switch away from these things.
Kurzgesagt has a video where they present a lot of research data on the topic if anyone is interested in sources to back up claims. I like the video because it's prefaced by saying the hardest part of the topic is getting people to not be offended at the idea of becoming a vegetarian, or even just eating less meat. It's difficult enough to get people to change their diets when it's causing a direct negative effect on their own health, let alone some abstract negative effect on the planet. I understand. Nobody wants to change their diet, but it's something people are capable of doing, and with so many benefits that come with it, I encourage people to at least give it a thought.
- Comment on We are helping 1 year ago:
That's true. Using your vehicle less is good. Not using one at all is even better. The same logic applies to eating meat. Less meat is good. No meat is even better. Your argument is the exact same argument for not eating meat. You cannot believe one is true without necessarily believing the other to be as well.

I feel like if I said "vaccines are safe and effective" you could respond with the same image and people would clap because that's how conversations about important issues go today.
- Comment on We are helping 1 year ago:
Other than voting for politicians that put climate change as their top issue, not eating meat is another effective method that literally anyone can do without affecting their life. Things like buying an electric car or not using natural gas to heat your home might not be options available to everyone. We can all live normal fulfilling lives without meat. You'll probably also save a decent amount on groceries, so that's a bonus!
