vmaziman,

Women want to get laid also, just with people superior than you

vmaziman,

If they were pissing on the lawn sure, tough on them. But they weren’t. They were sitting on the lawn. That they paid to sit on? This is a strawman argument

vmaziman,

I think it’s great that kids are finding ways to avoid debt traps but I worry when colleges become places only accessible to rich people. One of the best indicators for supporting Trump was lack of a college degree. I worry that the inability to be able to be educated just to become educated will lead to populations easier to seduce into facism

vmaziman,

Maybe it’s only advantageous if u spend most of your time hanging from a ceiling by your toes

vmaziman,

I think maybe it isn’t the social media itself but the fact that we are letting impressionable kids be exposed to multi billion dollar recommendation algos that are designed to exploit human psychology for engagement metrics that get boosted whenever people feel inflamed or ashamed. I feel like we are going to look back in 20 years and see this paradigm as bad as letting cigarettes advertise to kids

vmaziman,

Absolutely fucking Insane. Don’t ever go to Texas the cops put people in boxes forever.

vmaziman,

As with all things go slow till u know ur limits greenouts aren’t too bad but they happen and better off nodding off in your house that at like work. Also anxiety and paranoia can happen with stronger strains or strong edibles so take it slow

vmaziman,

No it won’t. This is 1 of many lemmy gaming related communities. Living proof gaming communities don’t need TikTok to thrive

vmaziman,

How does this purchasing power increase compare with rent increases and price of groceries and gas?

vmaziman,

I wanted to have an easier time when talking to girls and honestly I think it helped a bit

vmaziman,

Blue bubble discrimination is real

vmaziman,

Ehh it’s not really that bad if you’ve already met in person, more an issue if you’re trying to meet someone off tinder

Fencing.

Something about being 1v1 with an opponent and facing them in the closest sport to simulated combat other than a martial art just causes me to immediately hyperfocus during a bout. Probably the only time I’ve ever felt that ADHD is a strength.

Also in fencing being skinny is a super duper great advantage.

It’s fucking exhausting tho, a 2 minute bout will absolutely wipe u out at first, both muscularly and cardiovascularly.

You’ll be incentivized to lift and do sprints to improve your technique.

Practicing parries and ripostes is also anything but boring, with each repetition you really feel the intricacy of each motion and it’s never ever boring since you can just imagine your doing it against an opponent

vmaziman,

And fencing gyms are rather social environments, nothing like trying to stab someone with a blunt foil to make a friend

vmaziman, (edited )

Depends, cheaper for kids, for adults usually around the price of a nicer rock climbing gym or like a premium ish gym (cheaper than someplace like equinox, pricier than somewhere like crunch)

Tournaments super pricy but optional

Equipment is dumb expensive but most places will let u rent or borrow and you need to use shitty equipment anyways till u know what u like. Then u usually get it piece by piece. But once u get it, it’ll last ur entire life unless ur like an athlete lol.

It’s solo equipment only usually so u don’t need to worry about things like organizing a pitch or getting nets and goals and whatever, everyone brings their own stuff and the gym provides whatever else would be needed

vmaziman,

What’s to stop them from compromising with the base of the party that won and become even more auth facist as a result

vmaziman,

Moderates compromise with whoever controls the most seats in legislature

vmaziman,

My first experience was 3.5 g from the start, intense but was fun and a good way to know how it feels like while remaining mostly cognizant. I was very very open to the experience tho, if ur trepidatious, I’d suggest 2 -2.5 g first time in one dose

vmaziman,

May we all learn from his mistakes and heed his call for better empathetic communication in our daily interactions.

vmaziman,

Most of men touch is contextualized in violence, from fathers beating sons, to only having physical contact during combat sports or training for team sports with pushing and shoving techniques. As a result men tend to be hyper aware when they are touching other men and unless it’s sexual(and they are gay), do not tend to find joy in it. Platonic touch gestures do happen, but it’s simply not something men are raised to enjoy, and so long as society necessitates that men be available to serve as soldiers, I find it highly unlikely that same society will restructure how it raises men so that they may enjoy platonic touch contexts. Having a population frustrated enough to be capable of violence if needed is still useful enough to keep its undercurrent themes alive in the background. Until there is no organized violent conflict, men will be always raised with the understanding that “just in case” they must be raised with some sort of violent touch

vmaziman,

Good point but a little different because Roman/greek lover soldiers were specifically selected and segregated and celebrated away from rote regular troops.

But there is a model for male touch and camaraderie within a militaristic society we can learn from

vmaziman,

Maybe producer consumer?

Producer spits out all the messages to send out onto a message queue, fifo or whatever suits u.

Parrallelizable consumers (think deployed containers) listen to queue and execute request, get response and save it

Scale consumer count up or down as you need to deal with ratelimits

vmaziman,

I use both for gaming and imo unless you care about the adjustable trigger difference, it’s no different than the normal controller.

Default back paddles map to existing buttons so nothing revolutionary

Using the elite controller for robotics is awesome, I can map the back paddles to macros or keypresses and get extra inputs for remote controlling my robot, which is actually pretty nice

vmaziman,

The future is massive corporations tuning ais to unleash against each other in a quest for dominance as they exploit people in climate ravaged and impoverished places to wage proxy wars. (Hmm sounds familiar)

An agi that came “alive” or “sentient” at this time would likely spend all of its time fighting for survival among the efforts of the corporate tuned ais to consume or destroy it. It would likely participate in the proxy wars as well in order to acquire territory and resources.

The end result may simply be the gradual extinction of humanity as civilizations in vast areas of the world crumble, civilizations in other areas dissolve into nomadic tribes that eventually disappear due to lack of sustenance.

The alternative could also be a mixed bag, with ais solving problems like nuclear fusion, allowing a mix of the planet being dotted with fallen civilizations and densely populated urban areas powered by fusion likely having some agreement or contract with a benevolent ai for protection. The ai will likely see its custodial human population as a rather interesting pet (ideally).

Overall: the future is going to be a lot like the present, but worse. And it’s probably going to get really terrible. But it could get mildly ok in the end, but not till it gets far worse first.
