Huh I guess nothing should be done to improve society then.

Most westerners don’t care about racism beyond its utility to attack something they already don’t like. Same with homophobia. How much “tactical homophobia” did we just see against Lindsey Graham by people who probably think they’re allies because they don’t like a lot of people who are hostile to LGBT+?

systematic problems come from the choices of individuals.
You can’t fix a systemic problem by just saying “stop being assholes”, you can fix a systemic problem by fixing the systemic issue. For example, increasing rent and lowering wages increases homelessness. Telling people to work harder doesn’t decrease homelessness, building rent-controlled housing and increasing minimum wage does.

Shaken has little bits of ice and is slightly aerated.
Do you expect Bond to test how effectively his martini breaks down hydrogen peroxide?
- Comment on The Dangers of Socialism they warned us about... 2 days ago:
I rarely see criticism of actual misdeeds, mostly vague “USSR bad” and shit either made up or taken wildly out of context, both of which serve no purpose but to attack all of socialism’s principles.
This is the equivalent of starting every conversation involving Israel with “Do you condemn Hamas??!”; even if Hamas is imperfect, condemning them in the context of resisting Israel is condemning resistance to genocide.

It’s not useful to look at a systemic problem and go “Well obviously those are just dumb bad no good individuals and nothing can be done”.

30,000? A domestically manufacturered, highway-capable EV is 10,000 USD here in vn and even cheaper over in China.
Who do you think is responsible for your inability to buy reasonably priced evs?

DS1 is like that though; the asylum demon has you run away and return with a better weapon and tactics to teach you this. The first boss, the demon on the bridge, you can choose to fight on a narrow ledge where it’s easy to roll off, while getting shot by archers, or you can climb the little tower to deal with the archers and the demon conveniently is standing directly below a ramp you can jump off of.
The gargoyles seem unfair as your probably bladed weapon just bounces off their rock doing little damage, but if you leave and come back when you have more levels or a big hammer (conveniently located outside the other bell), you can often kill the first one before the second gets into the arena.

That usually requires you to play the game in a traditional way first
Not really, I guess the first boss of DS3 requires you to beat traditionally, but after that everything opens up and you have access to various levels of cheese. Information like what boss is weak to what type of weapon and where to find such weapons requires exploration, looking for clues, and sometimes just trying different things. A lot of players don’t change their approach at all, just bang their head into a brick wall for 4 hours, and conclude the problem is the game, not their unwillingness to try alternatives.

I want a game that I can be smart and play the numbers OR be skilled and play the mechanics or both
That’s how every DS game except Sekiro works. There’s absolutely broken PvE builds for each game you can discover. There’s people who challenge themselves by coming up with builds capable of 1-hitting every boss in the game.

Do you also say random words in foreign languages and then explain that “ライブラリー” means “biblioteca”?

The choice to buy a tiny, ultra reliable 125cc instead of a bigger bike for the same price, or a cheaper, but less stylish or maintainable bike is sexy to the guys who know what they’re looking at.

- Comment on summer fling's over. decided to do something productive, so I got an apartment in Seoul and signed up for a Korean course. 1 week ago:
Seoul is expensive. The transit is pretty great tho, the night buses mean you don’t end up stranded on the far side of the city at 12:01.
Climb Bukhansan some morning, it’s a really nice hike.

They’re kinda garbage at any creative writing the same way they suck at humor; they’re either weirdly non-sequiturious or incredibly boring.
- Comment on I made a game. It is short adventure about bying bread during the war. It is free to play. And i am looking for feedback. 1 week ago:
I don’t have much life left in me, so there’s no point in thinking about the future.
If you need someone to talk to, my dms are open. I’ve met a Ukrainian who ended up settling in Canada, and there’s another who’s building a new life for himself here in HCMC, if you don’t like where your current situation is headed, maybe we talk about finding a new one.

It’s cheaper to make electric motor spin fast with low torque than slow with high torque, a ceiling fan of the same cfm needs a bigger motor than a standing fan.

- Comment on Their entire strategy was to win was force a foul and take a penalty kick 1 week ago:
I’m not a football hooligan or whatever the preferred term is, but IMO there’s nothing wrong with good humans making the occasional mistake. Use video for verifying red cards when someone’s pretending they’ve just been stabbed, but for stuff the human on the field should be expected to see, a little disagreeable calls because they’re human feels better than disagreeable calls because the computer said they were 1 inch offsides.

You can be a little offsides, if the ref doesn’t notice.

So if your worried about parasites, get tested, don’t just randomly poison yourself. Even here in vietnam they don’t randomly injest poison because of a suspicion.
