You’re absolutely correct, I had a similar experience
I played CS for roughly the same amount of time; my clan ranges from DMG to Global, but we had a rule that if you were in the clan, we’d 5-man with you regardless of your rank, so if you were Silver, you’d have a chance to rub elbows and learn strategies from the higher skilled players.
Then we got a Global, a girl named Moon.
Holy hell, it’s like people’s brains did a 180°, they were incredibly mean to her, for no reason, and eventually it came out that she was trans, and they bullied her even worse, out of the server.
I kicked everyone who bullied/demonized Moon for being trans; because at the end of the day, it was about being a honest human being, and not just a CS player/gamer.

Helldivers 2 came out in 2024
By definition, that’s last year, so it’s an old game.
Bwuh?
- Comment on Chrono Trigger Is Timeless 1 week ago:
I played it during an internet outage in 1999 - no walkthroughs, no strategy guides, no reviews.
I went into the game entirely blind, without having an iota of what it was.
I thought it was a generic JRPG and Final Fantasy knockoff like every other SNES rom I’d tried before getting to it, but boy was I wrong.

6th grade biology class in the United States.
The teacher slaps up a diagram of a cell and organelles.
30-45 children all looking around the room, not exactly paying attention
She points to the various organelles, trying to explain their purpose, the golgi complex, ribosomes…
“And the mitochondria”
“Is the power house of the cell”
Children cheer in applause and repeat it, because it rhymes.
It then enters the collective unconscious of English speakers.
I was in the room where it happened.

TLDR: The body has a setpoint for weight which is tuned to environmental conditions and will attempt to reach it by modulating hunger.
It takes 8-12 months for these hormones to reset, so any diet is ineffective unless permanently maintained.
High setpoint? Prepare to be ravenously hungry all the time if you eat below your hormonal baseline.

I have the opposite – almost all vegetation has a taste and it’s quite good.
Basil? Yes. Garlic… Cabbage Spinach Asparagus Broccoli Carrots! Peppers! Beets!
I just made a huge pot of Borscht last night with beets, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, basil and olive oil - it’s going to feed me for days!
Feel bad for the people missing out on how tasty Earth plants are

The bottom right “art” in green is pure schizoposting, the “DMs from the divine” and then walls of text are typical of degenerative schizophrenia.
I’m sorry OP, they might be an art thief, they might be insane, maybe both.

I was forced to calculate the black body temperature and radiation for the Earth, back in college by hand.
I decided for fun to zero out the sun from the equation to see what would happen.
My math came out to about -32°C average surface temperature.
Earth would become an ice planet.
I think you’d uh, need a bit more than a sweater in those conditions 😅

That’s hysterical. LLMs typically know what you’re talking about, so if you misspell, they can still figure out what you’re trying to say.

- Comment on Reuters: New research backs up that video games can be an antidote to stress and anxiety [interactive article] 1 month ago:
I go into a meditative, Zen-like Trance playing the Doom titles.
For reference, I’ve been playing Doom since it came out in 1993, arguably, I’ve played it for more hours than possibly anyone alive on the Internet at the present moment. Maybe over a solid 128,000 hours between D1/D2/D3/D2016/D:Eternal.
I still play it, various MegaWADS featured in the CacoAwards, and whatnot, but I digress.
My feeling with this is, as they’d say:
“Your judgement for the sin of wrath is an eternity in Hell”.
“Why are you smiling? It’s supposed to be a punishment.”
“No, adjudicator, I heard you perfectly. An eternity in paradise.”

This already happened.
There’s a story about a scout ship that landed in the Western Hemisphere of Sol 3, and they decided to talk with the locals.
They offered them anything they wanted from the unitary matter replicator, as a show of good faith.
Unfortunately the counselors had absolutely no idea what a “pothead” or “stoner” was and so the two humans left after each synthesizing a bushel (a long branch around 2 meters tall) of a cannabinoid dense Terran plant.
They lodged their reports that the species on Sol 3 wasn’t intelligent enough to understand technology given they requested herbs/plants from a machine that could produce literally any compound known to nature, including cures for many diseases afflicting their world.

I’m a well-sorted Zen Monk in your chart, but you’d really rate autism as more brain-damaged than literal schizophrenia?
The walking, raving, hallucinating, spiders in the skin, swimming walls, schizophrenia?
Many people with autism can lead moderate to fully functioning lives, i.e: A good chunk of YouTube content producers who churn out daily videos about a single, highly constrained topic (e.g: bridge reviews in multiple nations).
I think I’d put autism in Category 2 of your chart, leaving the rest where it is

I’ve read that that the 7 deadly sins are just “reverse extrapolates” of the ten commandments, e.g: “Do not commit adultery” -> Lust.
Even the “original sin” (disobedience) is extrapolated.
Which means they’re not legally binding as a result.

Yep. I do this all the time on highways. I’ve seen dark red traffic lines on Google Maps as I’ve driven over them turn green.
Patience and the efforts of a single person in a wavefront can make an enormous difference, like a rock sticking up from a pond.
