I’d recommend stop being a retard, but you seem pretty committed so I’ll let you be.
- Comment on The fifth pocket 3 days ago:
Well it’s a good thing we have scientists doing things like measuring carbon in layers of soil to tell us that no, the indigenous weren’t altering the planet like that and were allowing the natural fires to burn regularly.
Stop “guessing” and do some actual research on the subject. They literally tried to teach us about it when we colonized, but “white man so superior” didn’t listen. And this is coming from a white guy.
We know who caused the problems. Stop trying to shift this to the indigenous. There not the ones who built massive cities in fire areas and then refused to let any of the forrests there burn.
- Comment on The fifth pocket 3 days ago:
The indigenous allowed natural burns to happen. They were managing it much closer to correctly. They didn’t create the issues. Industrialization/colonization did most it and you can’t blame that on indigenous peoples.

California wildfires have only been “managed” for the last ~200 years at most. How old do you think the country is? We’d be going back to the way things were a century or two ago, not tens of thousands of years. Tho yes, a lot of megafauna is gone, and we did it in that short of a time. Puts into perspective how damaging humans can be to the environment.
- Comment on The fifth pocket 4 days ago:
Exactly this. Most land management is focused on “how can we make this better for humans” not “how can we make this better for nature”. The answer largely is “stop fucking with shit and let it do its own thing and self regulate again”.

Kinda, but that one’s referencing it coming full circle with philosophy on both side. The specific edit I’m referring to just has philosophy wayyyyyyy off to the right and doesn’t have the logicians addition either.
- Comment on It's barely a science. 5 days ago:
I’ve een this xkcd expanded with philosophy way off to the right saying something like “hey, what are all of you talking about over there?” since philophy was the first asking “how?” or “why?” and all the others came later as more directed persuits of those individual questions. Philosophy first and foremost teaches logic and rhetoric, through which all sciences rely on.
- Comment on It's barely a science. 5 days ago:
While I get your point and don’t necessarily disagree, I do think it’s important to give philosophy a little more credit. Philosophy was what eventually came up with the idea of proving your claims and providing evidence to back that up. Logic and the scientific method were the creations of philosophy. Math was originally a philosophy/religion/cult(the Cult of Pythagoras for one example)devoted to numbers and believing them to be the ultimate answer to the universes questions.
Philosophy is a soft science, sure, but it’s core teachings are fundamental for everything else.

A different comment makes a compelling argument for it being anthropology. If anthropology is" just" psychology of a culture, then economics is a specific offshot of that, one focusing primarily on trade systems/money use.

Thanks for labeling this as AI so we know you can’t formulate sentences on your own and aren’t worth conversing with in the future. Makes it really easy to add someone to the blocklist when they’re the equivalent of email spam.

I know this is “no stupid questions”, but for the love of God, could you try to at least type it coherently? It reads like you were having a stroke while typing that or trying to mimic Kevin’s “why use many word when few do good?” Have some self respect, sheesh. I feel like there’s no point in explaining anything to you because you wouldn’t get it anyways.

Too bad there’s not an article that answers all of these things in the first paragraph.
- Comment on conditional soap 3 weeks ago:
I’m a dude with belly button length hair who constantly gets asked how I do it. It has nothing to do with gender. If anything, it’s the misogynistic culture telling you that you MUST do all these things in order to be pretty when most of those things are just getting you to buy more useless products. My hair is sleek and shiny and all I do is use Garnier Fructis shampoo once a week, and their conditioner daily. I let my hair air dry. The end.
But yeah, I’m just some hateful man. Whatever loser.
- Comment on conditional soap 3 weeks ago:
Nah, more like:
Man: Washes hair daily. That’s it.
Woman: Only washes/wets hair sometimes. Uses lots and lots of various chemicals to force various styles. Lots of blow drying. Hair dyes. Then wonders why hair is obviously chemically and physically damaged.
The problem is most women put TOO much effort into their hair, trying to make it things it’s not, and end up damaging it. Men tend to keep it short and simple and their hair doesn’t end up as damaged.
Also, you notice the Fabio guys a lot more than you notice the broccoli haired dorks. You remember that one hot guy more than you remember the dozens of unkempt ones.
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 3 weeks ago:
Frankly it doesn’t matter because if you’re close enough to need anti radiation meds, the lack of food, water, power, and shelter will be a much more pressing issue. The gist of my comment was supposed to be “go buy these pills for peace of mind because that’s about the only ‘preperation’ you can do for nuclear war. Really you should just relax and live your life”.

Why, because I can read? 😂
- Comment on Arc raiders is a horrible game 3 weeks ago:
It has both tags listed on the store page, both in the tags and in the game description. OP just can’t read or didn’t bother to look.
- Comment on Arc raiders is a horrible game 3 weeks ago:
You were saying?
It’s clear you didn’t actually read the page, or check reviews, or check any of the communities, or do any basic research before buying the game. Your “complaints” can be summed up as “uninformed consumer”.
If this were a review on Steam I’d mark is as unhelpful and give it the 🤡 award.
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 3 weeks ago:
Buy potassium iodide tablets. If it happens and it’s too close, you won’t even know. If it isn’t too close, take the pills and become a wasteland raider.
Otherwise just live your life because nothing you do really matters concerning nuclear war. That’s like worrying about an asteroid impact.
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 5 weeks ago:
No, I said nuance is important. That’s why I don’t think the devs are villains. But logically you can’t get a “no AI” award if you used AI. It’s be like entering a handknitted blanket contest and using a machine to start the first row. It’s not “100% handmade” anymore.
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 5 weeks ago:
Exactly this. I’m not making a moral judgement, just a logical one. They used AI, thus don’t qualify. Feel free to debate whether that award should be that way, but that’s how it is right now.
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 5 weeks ago:
Except that they used the placeholder AI textures so that they would have a functional build to test on. They didn’t just try it and decide it didn’t work. They literally used it produce part of the rough draft and even shipped the game with some of those placeholder textures accidentally still in there. It was actively used in this instance to “do work”.
It wasn’t “well let me see what this looks like… No that’s all wrong… Nevermind”. It was “well let’s get this AI to make some placeholders so we can continue working on this and we’ll slap the real textures in later”. Literally removing work from a human, which is the complaint of anti-AI people. Funny enough, I’m pro-AI and even I’m agreeing with the anti-AI people here. You want a “no AI was used” award? Then don’t ever use AI. Simple.

- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 5 months ago:
So I tried watching it and never saw them close the camera app or restart the phone, so again, waiting on some actual proof with some science behind it rather than “dude totally said so”. That only proves that the software controlling the picture adjustments has been sent out of whack(as evidenced by the fact that it would show true colors eventually when pointed at something else). If the pixels were “dead”, they wouldn’t reset. We have a separate phrase for that. It’s “stuck pixel”.

This is my thought: unless everyone uses it, they just have to track the one glowing dude. Eventually you’ll be in front of a camera or person who will identify you clearly, and it will be that much easier because you’re glowing.
- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 5 months ago:
Even that was debated. No one proved it continued when you took another video, just that it broke the video of the lidar itself.
- Comment on functional 5 months ago:
No, it’s not a typo. I’m pointing out that even if they have no eyes, they’d still have sensory input and within that input you’d still find “visual descriptions”. You can still describe something as square or round or “emanates this wavelength of light” or “this object is 5m away from me” without eyes. Eyes are not a prerequisite for describing things and if they are space fairing, they’ve figured out something. You wouldn’t be able to build a ship without some system in place. So sure, they may be vastly different, but some common things have to exist. And math will always be one of those. Change your number system and ratios still stay the same.
