  • TIL that William James Sidis, a child prodigy, was a socialist. I see an analogy to Einstein.

  • Oh no for sure, intelligent people make typos all the time too, they can also laugh at themselves, are typically humble, and don't feel the need to post masturbatory "aren't I great, aren't my enemies doodooheads" shit like this, though.

    So yeah, funny shit, that.

  • genises

    LMAO misspelling genius while dunking on someone else's intelligence is just perfect.

  • How come hypothetically if I make meth in my home. Knowing full well it could explode and take out my neighbors houses, why am I not charged with attempted murder?

    Jump

  • Because it does not fit the definition.

    It would probably fit reckless endangerment, but murder requires the intent to cause death specifically.

  • No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid"

    Jump

  • That would imply they agree with your definition of right and wrong.

  • "It's extremely frustrating and also f*cked up" - one of the world's best indie studios is facing shock closure following confounding Steam ban

    Jump

  • Of course it was Santa Ragione.

    Met one of the founders years ago, acted like he had discovered the wheel and hot water himself when all he did was come up with Mirrormoon, which while good is anything but the smash hit he was pretending it was, it just happened to be the most successful italian indie game at the time of, like maybe 3 of them?

    These guys are pathologically auteur, and from everything I've seen of them, think they're way smarter than they actually are.

    As an asexual girl who still wants a male partner, would “scheduled sex” be a dealbreaker for men?

    Jump

  • It's definitely affecting it, yes.

    For most people being sexually desired and knowing they are is a very important part of a relationship.

  • No? Https is just the connection protocol? You can do it over LAN only just fine?

  • What would you want to see this site do differently from Reddit?

    Jump

  • You're appealing to definitions as if they matter in real world contexts.

    If I created a group called "the bad people killers" and started killing people would that "by definition" mean everyone I killed was bad?

    Communism may be defined as a wheelbarrow full of monkeys for all that matters, in the real world every self-sufficient communist regime was a shitshow of state capitalism, coercion, censorship, and state violence. All the drawbacks of capitalism and none of the perks.

    That's what communism, descriptively, is. The day you figure out a way to manifest reality by sheer will alone without having to deal with the real world I will be interested in what something is "by definition"

  • TIL Bobby Dunbar was kidnapped, and returned to his parents... decades later DNA testing proved he was a different child

    Jump

  • Her word wasn't even considered during the whole trial.

    Nor should it have been.

    There's a reason some crimes are statutory, this is not at all even comparable to asking the child regarding factual information of the case.

  • Authoritarian State Capitalism

    Yeah exactly, communism.

  • Sony’s Concord Is Playable Again Thanks To Fan-Made Custom Servers

    Jump

  • For the same reason the USSR did the same shit to subvert countries all over the world?

    Power blocks are the basic concept underpinning modern multipolar foreign policy decisions, it's not rocket science.

    The difference is liberal capitalism won eventually, and the USSR didn't.

    Communism didn't and never will exist in a vacuum, you know?

  • Sure, bud, that's why communism worked every time.

  • Because they're correct, you're just being too literal in your understanding of the statement.

    Will people occasionally work for free? Sure. For friends, family, friends of friends, hell even strangers sometimes, volunteering is a thing, sure.

    Will they work for free reliably and consistently enough that they can be built upon by other people?

    Obviously not, they sometimes don't even do it for money.

    Society as it is today, with its insane population count and highly specialised workflows, requires an insane amount of logistics that absolutely can't bear "random cunt #354 decided not to work this month so the boat is without a captain" levels of random disruption without heavy consequences; this is incidentally also why strikes are extremely effective.

    No society that evolved beyond subsistence did so without some obligation to work, whether through monetary incentives or straight up serfdom/slavery; and if subsistence is all you want, I'm sure you can go live in like, some tribal commune on a Pacific island somewhere.

  • Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading

    Jump

  • It's not that, it's the trade halt that points to something major (and bad for them) happening.

  • Steam Controller

    Jump

  • The joysticks are fine, nice that they're upgrading them. I want the d-pad to be clicky though. There are kits for the deck but I don't care enough about this to mess with the electronics, I'd rather it be done by pros.

  • Steam Controller

    Jump

  • Way too mushy, can't realistically play fighting games with it, and i much prefer d-pad to analog for those.

    So far no controller has beaten the XBOne and later style of dpad with clicky switches underneath, for me.

  • Steam Controller

    Jump

  • I hope the d-pad is better than the steamdeck one, other than that I'm looking forward to it.
