  • Hideo Kojima learned "so many ways to kill people" in training, says it's "kind of sad" many devs "don't know how to dismantle a gun or shoot a gun" despite making military games

  • There are plenty of complaints to lob at Americans, but... Hideo isn't American, and plenty of countries especially those that have mandatory enlistment (Norway, Sweden, etc) will have a populace that is familiar with the operation, maintenance, and use of firearms to a greater extent than your average American... So get your head out of your 🍑?

  • Mood. Best thing to do would be to email steams suggestion mailbox with the request. It likely won't have any effect, but if enough of us do it they'll at least know.

  • Canada oil low acid does ring a bell. It's been a bit since I'd read up on it.

  • I've always found the petroleum distillate "Mineral spirits" to be oddly named in the same way. Also, if you're from the US, canola is rapeseed oil of a specific variety that they rebranded as a combination of "Canada" and "oil" because rapeseed didn't sit well with customers. There's a lot of power in what we call things.

  • They're "natural gas" (Propane/methane) burning turbine generators, not wind turbines if that's what you're getting confused.

  • Does the average american, when naming a price of any given item, takes into account taxes or disregards it?

  • Annoying as well. Goodluck convincing anyone to change it.

  • I think I might've come across incorrectly when I said cultural decay. I mean to convey the consequences of a cultures effect on politics. For example wars, pollution, or nuclear weapons. I think you'd have trouble denying those have effects that are inherently social and require civic cooperation to prevent. Doing otherwise seems to me to actually objectively be a problem, assuming you value living. That's actually what I meant about laziness as well, that we're less invested in the core responsibilities that now exist with how advanced our technology and societies have become.

    I agree you can't force anyone, that's not freedom, but I also feel and fear we may be past the point where inspiration can handle the challenges. FDR never had nuclear war looming, the interconnected and chaotic nature of social media to contend with, or a bevy of other modern factors like llms that I get the gut feeling are insurmontable. I'd like to be convinced otherwise instead of subscribing to apathy but I feel like I'm living through the dawn of a new age.

  • Fair and reasonable. I just don't see a large force that would lead the current us in that direction naturally, and if I did I feel like I'd have more hope for a stable tomorrow.

  • Not saying this is the correct route, but I do see the cultural decay, foreign influence, and complete lack of civic duty causing massive political failures in the US in real-time as we grow lazier, less interested, and more content. Any idea how we account for that in a reasonable fashion?

  • To be honest, this shift in our politics has been brutally quick and more federally far reaching than anything that happened while I was growing up. People used to be able to just exist. Camp in parks, sleep on benches, etc. This authoritarianism is... Somewhat new.

  • Caving to the idea that there are two sides instead of a brevity of political choices that are constantly suppressed is major defeatist energy in the same way that's depicted in this comic.

  • If you equated stop destroying the planet with stopping space development, that's on you. I clarified my stance in a comment below it minutes later.

    I take offense to you and people like you thinking space is habitable or easy instead of insanely environmentally challenging, unknown, and complex. Seeing it as an escape instead of the immense and violent challenge it is. It's disrespectful to both life and the accomplishments of those before you.

    So yes, you are deranged. I've not attempted any gaslighting. You continue to argue with yourself, ignore nuances, and call my logic faulty when it's not. You hand wave immense complexities of shit you **do not understand ** just because you've seemingly read the wiki on it. It's astounding. You even think space is habitable, which it is undebatbly at this time, not, and that's before comparing it to our immeasurably more habitable planet. The frustration I experience reading the shit you post is from this inherent fallacy you've attached yourself to. I even agreed with the immense increase in space funding you asked for, explicitly, and yet you seemingly doubt my alignment to continued scientific development.

  • It is a thing. At least in the US, it's even codified. People constantly pretending it's not a thing and not reprimanding or punishing those who abuse it is turning it into not a thing unfortunately. Shits gotten so bad our head of DoJ and the turdlord president himself declare people "guilty" without punishment, trial, or evidence. It's shocking to me honestly, this shit would've been treason when I was a kid. McCarthyism all over again.
