- Comment on "Does Hitler have a right to privacy?" and other big questions in research ethics. 2 days ago:
Stalin disappeared thousands of people. Tiger Stalin “disappeared” a few, but there was no hiding it, the pile of intestines and bones was a dead giveaway.
- Comment on Just seen the latest American Opinion polls. 3 days ago:
Intelligent people are worried about the blackmail context of the emails, but intelligent people never supported Trump, so this is just another reason to hate him and a new reason to be worried. Among Trump’s core supporters, homophobia is a critical issue, it has always been a major topic for the Trump admin. Previously the Epstein files were just about pedophilia, and conservative states have always taken a softer stance on the topic with things like child marriage.
There may be more important things to the story, but where voters can be swayed, the big story is “Trump did something gay.”
- Comment on Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic 4 days ago:
Half Life 2 was about 5 years too early to be considered “basically beyond imptovement”. The graphics are a little dated now, and maybe the gameplay is a little simpler than a modern FPS, but ultimately it’s pretty close to the mark. I haven’t been surprised by FPS mechanics or graphics in 10 years, so there’s basically no way for Half Life 3 to surprise us. Dishonored 1 and 2 were basically identical. If you told me the second one came out immediately after, I’d believe you.

Dishonored nailed a neat trick: If every game dev stops innovating immediately after you release an innovative game, your game will always be considered highly innovative.

If you killed patient 0, then it wasn’t a world ending disease either.
- Comment on Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpaste companies" 2 weeks ago:
“This franchise will never have a meaningful conclusion, but I hope you gave up on that nonsense by the end of Black Flag”

Remember that Hornet’s journal is filled out after a dozen or so of the creature in question attempting to kill her.
- Comment on Pornhub says UK visitors down 77% since age checks came in 2 weeks ago:
I like how this approach gets called “okay on the privacy side” and just assumes you’re logged in to everything. In case you missed it, the subject matter here is browsing porn, a vast majority of people aren’t logging in at all with any service when they watch porn.

That’s basically the plot of the next Avengers movie.

On the downside, we’re not building a better world, but on the plus side, we at least have more PFAs than we did before!

Not sure what kind of jobs you’ve worked OP, but every job I’ve ever worked explicitly says in training that if you’re being robbed, don’t resist at all.

I’m a physicist, not a genie, and I have no fucking clue what adding an electron to every atom would do. I can’t even begin to fathom the question.

- Comment on Trump Classifies “Anti-Capitalism” as a Political Pre-Crime 1 month ago:
Pretty sure the term was invented in Minority Report as a legal gray area where it’s in many way immoral to prevent crime by arresting people before they commit anything. It’s literally a real life example of the Torment Nexus meme.

After much careful reflection on this news, here is my response: HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I think I could have written this headline 6 years ago.

I love how “animals” and “engineering” are presented as equivalent in this meme, like “yeah I know these aren’t real sciences or anything but I think they’re cute!”

That trailer looks so good, it would have been worth it to wait all these years just for the trailer.

Yes, but since it’ll run Windows, it’ll have half the battery life and half the frames at the same time!

If your reviewer suggests you cite another paper, it’s one of their papers and they just doxed themselves, 100% of the time.
