- Comment on Recent conversations between Dawkins and sentient chat-bot Claudia (Claude) 2 days ago:
There’s definitely a minority of people who are of the opinion that he was always a grifter, but just because a lot of people agreed with him they didn’t examine what he said too closely. For example, his takedown of Mother Theresa is full of inaccuracies and lies, but still commonly gets cited as if it’s gospel

Do you not think there’s been an escalation in recent years? There are literal concentration camps in the US right now, and more being built as we speak

Not doing nothing! Rotating up and overthrowing capitalism. How, you ask? You know, rising up! What practical plan is there for afterwards? Plenty of time to figure that out later!

What I’m saying is that record sales have been unprofitable for artists for a long time, so Spotify hasn’t really moved the needle on that point
- Comment on Hot Take: most modern games are designed to purely kill time 4 weeks ago:
Metaprogression is the same, in many cases. You don’t advance because your skill is increasing or because you’ve accomplished anything, it’s essentially “you’ve played for x amount of time, we’re going to create the illusion of progression by allowing you to upgrade your stats”

Again, the question is can you demonstrate that this is actually something that is increasing?
The relevance of the second tweet is that it’s from the same person. They’re trying to get an angry reaction from people to help fuel culture war bullshit. And you provided exactly the reaction they were after
- Comment on Good luck figuring it out since it also doesn’t come with man pages 4 weeks ago:
I mean, if you can provide data which shows that anthropomorphisation - specifically the unwarranted attribution of gender to things which are genderless - is on the rise and can demonstrate, or even articulate what the real-world harm of this is, then maybe I will agree that ranting about it in response to a tweet from an anti-woke twitter user lying about it in order to stir up tired “culture war” arguments isn’t silly
Perhaps we should also rant about the erosion of male-dominated spaces into spaces which are “lame and gay”, given that there are now women who play Warhammer?

Since Mozilla actually didn’t and the post is based on a lie, I’ll say congratulations, your reaction is almost certainly what they were hoping for

- Comment on Sunglasses suggestions 5 weeks ago:
There was a reddit thread a few years ago where insiders from industries were asked what was true about their industry that the moneymakers wouldn’t want the public to know. A sunglasses guy said that the build quality of all sunglasses above something like $10 was identical. Above that price you’re literally just paying for the logo
Make sure they’re UV safe, make sure the lenses don’t distort your vision, and buy something cheap

Vance is smarter than Trump, less driven by his own impulses, and more directly under the control of Thiel
He doesn’t have the cult of personality Trump does, but if/when you’ve rigged the elections so you’ll always win, what does that matter?

That painting doesn’t look anything the same, and nor do those pictures. In the bride she’s a natural blonde. In the after she’s a bleach blonde

It’s definitely changing more than the lighting. In the picture above the before picture shows a natural blonde and the after has brown roots

- Comment on Karim Diané on playing Star Trek’s first gay Klingon 2 months ago:
This is what I was responding to:
I’m arguing it should be done sparingly and only when it serves a more interesting narrative. To make a topical American culture war issue the defining characteristic of a Klingon is easily one of the laziest writing mechanics I’ve seen in Star Trek, ever.
If my interpretation is incorrect, please clarify what you meant
- Comment on Karim Diané on playing Star Trek’s first gay Klingon 2 months ago:
Yes, you bashed out the tired old trope that if gay people are to exist in fiction then there must be a narrative reason. That’s nonsense. The fact that gay people exist IRL is all the reason that’s needed for them to exist in fiction
