Xavienth,

You believe in the moon?

Xavienth,

That is the only way the rich and powerful know how to act. Because ultimately, might makes right under capitalism.

Xavienth,

IT is technology so i think the I would be for engineering

Xavienth,

No mention of other people. Antisocial behaviour

Xavienth,

Is anyone actually asking for thinner phones or is this just engineers jacking themselves off

Xavienth, (edited )

Xavienth,

There will be plenty of time to pressure his administration after the election.

I love this perspective. It’s so funny. Like, in the ideal of a democracy, a representative earns your votes by promising things in your interest. But in a bourgeois democracy, it works differently. Your vote is not earned, it is expected, and if you don’t vote for them, you get the punishment. Shame on you for not voting for me, that’s not how this works, you’re my dog!

Xavienth,

Interesting fact about the NM whiptail, they still need to have sex to reproduce for some reason, despite no gene swap occurring.

Xavienth,

If you make driving easier than transit, more people will drive who previously took transit. The reverse is also true. One of these situations is more desirable for myriad reasons.

As well, additional demand can be created by convenience. People will make trips they otherwise never would have if it’s easier to make them.

Xavienth,

The joke is on you. There are places where it already is easier than driving. What do such places have in common? There are so many people that having everyone drive is literally impossible to accommodate. You wouldn’t drive in Manhattan, Tokyo, or Seoul. It literally makes absolutely no sense to. In these cities, public transit is faster and way more convenient.

Smaller cities can replicate this effect by just… not outrageously favouring car infrastructure like they do today in North America. That doesn’t mean exclusively making driving worse, it means making public transit better at the same time with the freed up funding. And the freed up money is a lot, car infrastructure is super expensive. More routes with more stops at higher frequencies are made possible because of higher ridership, which increases convenience and makes it more likely you will get almost exactly from your origin to your destination.

But the American brain cannot conceive of this. “Communist transportation” fucking lmao. What if we made cities more liveable for humans, not for cars? Nah we can’t do that that’s communism.

Xavienth,

So you think we should decentralize cities. Make it so you don’t need to go downtown for everything. Everything you need would be within 15 minutes of walking.

… A fifteen minute city perhaps.

Xavienth,

Not to mention that an idea is not a game, not even conceptually. There’s a reason it’s called game design and not game turn-idea-into-code.

Xavienth,

that’s what they want you to think

How should I change my polite behavior to be more accommodating?

My parents raised me to always say “yes sir” and “no ma’am”, and I automatically say it to service workers and just about anyone with whom I’m not close that I interact with. I noticed recently that I had misgendered a cashier when saying something like “no thank you, ma’am” based on their appearing AFAB, but...

Xavienth,

All of these, maybe with the exception of duck and gaffer, if said in North America would be either not seen as gender neutral, or would be especially creepy if a man used it.

Xavienth,

Or they just have different connotations here. Would it be acceptable for a man to go up to a woman he’s never met before and say “I’m in love with you” while she’s just doing her job? If you say yes, I have to wonder who of us was really raised wrong.

Xavienth,

Man unable to comprehend that words can have different meanings in different countries, and is unable to understand analogy, more at 11

Xavienth,

person whose entire account is promoting anti-communism “i hate how communism is being shoved down our throats”

Xavienth,

I said this at launch, you cannot do early access with an established IP. The agreement is a reduced price because you’re paying to get in on the ground floor before it actually gets good. But for an established IP you’ve already built your audience, so most people are going to buy on day 1 at the reduced price, so the “reduced price” has to basically be full price. Now you’re paying full price for an unfinished game because Take Two pushed them to release an unfinished game that had been delayed by years.

It was doomed from the start.

Xavienth,

I don’t think you could sustain an electric ship with solar panels, but I wonder if you could appreciably extend the range of this ship by adding solar panels.

Hell, if panels get cheap enough you could slap panels on top of all the battery modules. If they happen to be covered by something else, so be it.

Xavienth,

calling it a “linguistics misunderstanding” makes it seem more scientific than it probably is. I’d like to see some evidence to back it up, because to me it just looks like some Tumblr user’s conjecture.

Xavienth,

Presumably if they’re the product of exactly two factors then those factors would have to be prime, otherwise it wouldn’t be exactly two.

Xavienth,

The definitions often exclude 1. In the case where you include it you could then say a semi prime has exactly three factors.

Xavienth,

Sentient life?

Xavienth,

We’re reducing the wrong pollution!!

Xavienth,

Presumably an asexually reproducing species wouldn’t have a concept of gender since it arises from social classifications of sex, which they also would not have.
