  Got some Horizon Zero Dawn vibes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the average person have no critical thinking?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. For example during the Soviet occupation here, the Colorado potato beetle got imported here somehow and given it doesn’t have any natural predators, it destroyed potatoes like crazy.

  Well, guess what? According to Soviet propaganda it was intentionally done by Americans to destroy our “paradise” and our food.

  Everything bad that happened was because the evil imperialists worked against our paradise.

  The country being so poor it couldn’t afford enough toilet paper for its citizens? Westerners! All foreign fruit being very scarce and people standing in long lines to get it, while the ones in the back knew they probably aren’t getting any today? Also westerners’ fault.

  Propaganda is not the usual over-the-top stories, it’s subtle. Would you today believe if someone told you that Americans have imported the Colorado potato beetle intentionally? And would you, if it was consistent with everything you’ve heard since you were a kid?

  Eh, being burned out means exactly (most of) that. Especially being rude is a huge sign of being burned out, because you just can’t muster the energy to be positive, because everything about your work pisses you off, including your coworkers, customers, bosses and the work itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Transitioning in STEM⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think hospitals do count, being burned out could be an official requirement for the job and you wouldn’t notice a difference.

  This is anecdotal, but male teachers get a special treatment if the school staff is mostly women.

  Yep, this is the reason, the service that facilitates this is called Lemmy Federate.

  I was in a dinopark recently and there were some bone replicas, footprints etc. and I was constantly like “how the hell didn’t the scientists see that it’s just a giant chicken?”

  Some of it is extremely obvious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨STOP destroying videogames⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, not even 500k people in the whole of EU care about this apparently, so we get what we deserve, I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨STOP destroying videogames⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It really looked like it’ll be signed quickly in the beginning, I was really hopeful.

  Now I’m not really sure it will pass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Diablo 4's first big collab is Berserk? Yeah, ok, that one's pretty good I guess⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, that reminds me I should check whether Berserk actually moved somewhere, the quality went down since the author died.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone also always forgets that they save money on distribution massively. And that the amount of games sold has increased significantly.

  It’s not as simple as dollars had more value, games should cost more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suggestions for a top down game that is genuinely different to all the others?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does Dungeons 3 or 4 count? If so, these games are great.

  That game’s really great, definitely better than at launch. Still many bugs, but it’s been fun playing with my partner on our local server.

  Is this a logical statement? And does the runtime support short-circuiting? It would mean you don’t have to obey physics if you don’t love your mom, which is neat.

  I think its real name rhymes with Fthulhu.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Stick to the training, your brain will figure out the rest. Unless you’re missing self-preservation instinct, your brain will do its best to survive and avoid psychological trauma.

  That includes trauma from killing others, you will dull in time naturally.

  Important note: you will get psychological trauma, there’s no way to avoid that. Your brain will put up some defenses (the kind of the defenses is highly individual) to prevent the trauma fucking up your life in the short term, but it will fuck you up in the long term. Only therapy can help there, though it’s very unlikely to be cured entirely at all.

  If you go to war and get traumatized, find a therapist as fast as you can. The longer the trauma is untreated, the deeper it becomes part of your personality. And by that I mean really as fast as you can. If you get a chance to speak to a therapist 20 minutes after you go through something traumatic, do it, even if you feel like you’re managing. If you can’t access one that quickly (which is likely during an armed conflict), do it as soon as you’re able to.

  I think there’s an implicit “chicken” before the egg: what was first, a chicken or a [chicken] egg?

  Funny you mention colours, you can very easily determine the point where it’s more green than red.

  Nah, Czechia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lagomorphs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the first time I’m seeing the word Pervitin in English, while that’s pretty much the only word my language uses. Most people wouldn’t know what methamphetamine is, but everyone has heard of Pervitin. I thought it was some local-only name, guess it’s time to learn the etymology.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should a movie released in 1995 be considered an "old" movie?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would call a 19th century book old. Like, no one I know has been alive in 19th century. That’s pretty old by my standards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should a movie released in 1995 be considered an "old" movie?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Really depends on your age, I guess. For me, anything made in 1990 and later is new(ish) and everything before that is old. I imagine if you were born in the 2010s, even 90s movies feel very old.

  When two people kiss, they form a long tube from one anus to another.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My grandma passed away and my aunt sent me a selfie of her, my uncle, and my deceased grandma in the hospital bed, is it normal that I'm put off by this?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  why they would want to pass trauma onto me

  It’s not like it’s intentional, usually. Everyone has a different way of coping with trauma and sadly, one of the brain’s most usual defenses is repeating the same behaviour, because that makes what happened normal - if I do it too, how could it be something bad?

  People who do that need a therapy to stop repeating the abusive behaviour, but as with alcoholism, the first step is to admit you have been abused. You would be surprised how many people don’t get past the first step. And that’s how abusive behaviour in people who are not necessarily psychopaths occurs.

  As an aside, being a psychopath (not a sociopath, that term doesn’t exist in psychology) is also a defense mechanism, although one on the extreme side of things and it’s generally incurable past a certain age.

  All of physics would like a word.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think Social Media is just exaggerated as being placed of being the source of all problems?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s just an algorithm, all it takes is someone deciding they want to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think Social Media is just exaggerated as being placed of being the source of all problems?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s equally easy to do on federated social media, it’s just that no one found the incentive (yet?).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think Social Media is just exaggerated as being placed of being the source of all problems?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, that you think about it easily places you in a different group then the average joes. Most people don’t think about anything that’s not relevant to their survival.

  We haven’t really evolved that much in the last few millennia where our civilization started, millennia is a really small scale for evolution.

  And for people like that (the majority), social media are a bane, because they abuse what we know about human mind to be es engageable as possible, even if it’s not beneficial to the human.

  Social media as a concept is not the problem, the execution is.

  Most people simply don’t care about abstract issues like social media and similar.
