These are exactly the same people who say that sex is binary and that gender = sex

An expanding market and competition don’t change the fact that prices go up when prices go up. I suppose I can grant that it’s cheaper to sell ones and zeros over the internet than it is to ship a bunch of discs to every GameStop. But still, physical manufacturing and distribution make up a small percentage of the price of a game

People really don’t seem to understand that video game prices have not kept up with inflation. It’s why I didn’t bat an eye at spending $70 on Baldur’s Gate 3 despite the original costing like $50. When you account for inflation, it’s actually cheaper.

That said, I avoid Nintendo on principle. Refusing to sell old games so that they can sue people who pirate them is ghoulish and inhuman. As long as Gary Bowser is forced to pay them, I never will.

Can, and opt not to. Big difference. I’m sure I could ask chat GPT to write a better comment than this, but I value the human interaction involved with it, and the ability to perform these tasks on my own

Same with many aspects of modern technology. Like, I’m sure it’s very convenient having your phone control your washing machine and your thermostat and your lightbulbs, but when somebody else’s computer turns off, I’d like to keep control over my things

This is a salient point that’s well worth discussing. We should not be training large language models on any supposedly factual information that people put out. It’s super easy to call out a bad research study and have it retracted. But you can’t just explain to an AI that that study was wrong, you have to completely retrain it every time. Exacerbating this issue is the way that people tend to view large language models as somehow objective describers of reality, because they’re synthetic and emotionless. In truth, an AI holds exactly the same biases as the people who put together the data it was trained on.

Personally I would be the strongest cleric under Lliira

I’m really curious where I said that. Wanting something doesn’t mean you only want said thing, and the vast majority of men generally want to have sex with women. You can ask them, and they’ll tell you as much.

Besides that, you’ve managed to miss my point entirely: that the original question is different on a fundamental level when you ask a woman versus a man. Meeting a random man in the woods is significantly more dangerous if you are a woman than it is if you are a man, and that’s a bit of nuance that a lot of guys don’t consider. Instead of taking it personally, and feeling like women think you specifically are evil, you should try to understand why women are so cautious around men. It’s not some irrational prejudice against us.

If you’re lost in the woods, would you rather run into a bear, or a man who is 10% larger than you and wants to have sex with you?

Hopefully this rephrasing of the question helps you understand the answer women tend to give a little better

Imagine being into generative AI when the moon is literally red as I type this. You could be looking at the Orion Nebula right now instead of staring at a screen playing charades with a soulless marionette dancing under the hands of billionaires who you’re giving a direct line straight into your brain, bypassing all critical thought

Like I said 6 hours ago, just because I can’t mitigate all of the risk doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t mitigate as much as I reasonably can.

My 3d printer is a fire hazard, but that’s no excuse for leaving a bunch of candles unattended.
