  • What's an unscientific opinion that you firmly hold?

    Jump

  • Personally, panpsychism makes sense to me. Our brains are what make us thinking individuals with memories etc, but the whole universe is conscious. So after we die, we return to pure awareness (without thought or memory)

  • I wish the Steam Controller used AA batteries

    Jump

  • Well it will be fine even if you only leave it charging a tiny fraction of the times you use it. And with AAs you have to remember to change them anyway or it will die while you're playing.

    And if you think the process of:

    opening the back cover, taking out the AAs (especially on the original steam controller), putting them in a charger, and putting new ones back in the controller

    is even close to as easy as just setting the controller down on a magnetic charger, I don't know what to tell you.

  • They're The controller is always charged because I put them it on the charger when I rotate them. am not using it.

    So the controller never dies unless you're playing for more than a day straight, and there's no fiddly swapping out of batteries. The only downside is that you might need to replace the battery in like 5 years time with heavy use, and it's only marginally more difficult than swapping out AAs.

  • Well the rechargeable AAs will wear out just like an internal battery, but there's more of them and they're individually packaged. It's a bit more waste and a bit more money, even if it's not a big difference.

    Personally I think the big difference is in usability - I'd rather just leave the controller on a charger when not in use and never have to worry about swapping cells in and out. (I think battery degradation is overblown - it should last way more than 2 years, especially if you aren't gaming for 20 hours straight)

  • I think many of these questions are too vague to be answered productively, but I'll try. I'll just answer for myself, as I think there will be plenty of people who agree with me, and it seems kinda irrelevant what the average person thinks as long as enough people are into it. Also, your brief set of questions isn't very brief, and I think you'd get more answers if it was more focused and pared down.

    1. Very willing if it looks well thought out, has some assurance that it will stay around, and provides a good quality of life. Otherwise, no.
    2. Is this just a random person? That's a reeallly hard sell. A friend, or better a partner? Yes, assuming it's nicely furnished, and is in a nice surrounding area, and has supporting infrastructure.
    3. 8-24 hours is such a big range that I couldn't possibly answer, but I'm guessing it adds up to 40 hours. but I'm not sure how leisure factors in here, is this . I think a flexible 40 hour work schedule that factors in learning and unstructured productivity would be very appealing.
    4. Definitely, and think it does change my answer for question 2, but only if there is a strong assurance that this community will exist indefinitely, or in the event that the community dissolves, that the house would then go to me.
    5. Without hearing details I can't really give an answer, but maybe? Also would I not be allowed to generate income from external sources? That sounds a bit controlling, but I'm not categorically opposed to it. I also think it would be good to capitalize on individual skills when possible, not just a few set businesses.
    6. Again, 8-24 hours is a huge range, but generally yes, although I would want vacations, and exceptions for disability, sickness and old age.
    7. No change, I don't really need a big house, anyway the yurt would be the limiting factor. I think that making common spaces might be a better use of resources.
    8. Direct democracy is pretty much a requirement for this sort of thing, but it would also need a 'constitution' that is guarantees the basic premise is maintained and nobody gets screwed over.
    9. I think this is going to be the hardest part to get right. , but I think there would need to be some criteria for this, otherwise it would be abused.
    10. I think this could be a real positive if done well. If there are multiple sites, I would also consider making short term stays possible. I don't think this really changes any of my answers though.

    Anyway from what you've hinted at, this seems like a pretty compelling idea for a commune. I would look into existing communes like Twin Oaks as examples of what works. I do think the Solarpunk/automation angle could make this really unique, though, and it could result in a really high quality of life.

    I know this is probably for a school project or something, but if it's actually something you're thinking about for real, I have a lot of ideas, and I would be very interested in discussing it more (and maybe joining!).

  • One way roads and split highways exist, but even on any typical divided road, you obviously can still drive the wrong way. Either way, you're conpletely missing the point. That phrase is used as a way of saying that if literally everyone else disagrees with you, then it's a lot more likely that you're the one who is wrong.

    In this case, autism really doesn't have an "opposite". neurodevelopment is incredibly complex, and while some aspect exist on a spectrum, others don't. (and the traits or development patterns that do exist on a spectrum in this case exist mostly between autistic and allistic traits, not between autism and some "opposite" pattern.

    And the other traits you mentioned exist on their own orthoganal axes.

  • Okay I don't usually reply to comments like these, but I've had a really shitty day and this touched a nerve so here goes.

    I'm a lot of the same things, (although I'm underweight instead and I don't use nazi terminology to describe my autism). I'm in my mid 20s and I've never had sex with anyone, although I deeply desire to, and I'm very lonely. I think I'm a decent person, at least I have plenty of friends who think so. I'm not very attractive, but not unattractive. I have debilitating anxiety. I'm very uncomfortable with the idea of hooking up with someone I'm not close with, and I've avoided "opportunities" because of that. I've also had pretty bad luck in general with relationships. Sex is pretty low on the list of what I'd like out of a relationship, but I would still like to experience it with someone I have an emotional connection with. I form crushes / romantic attraction to someone very rarely, and it just always just doesn't work out for one reason or other. Also, I have the added difficulty of being nonbinary, so aside from being entirely confused about who I was for most of my life, now I have the choice to either pretend I'm someone I'm not, or to be myself and have an extremely small pool of people be interested in me.

    Does all this make me a 'fucking loser'? Maybe, but either way it's a really shitty thing for you to say. I'm so fucking sick of being ridiculed and insulted online, even if I'm just getting caught in the crossfire.

  • What an unempathetic take. It doesn't have to be anyone's 'fault', although I'd say it's largely society's fault if there's any blame to be had.

    Beleiving that religious fundamentalists will suddenly have progressive values and not immediately turn against the LGBTQ people who stood by them? Naive.

    Why isn't Mbin more popular?

    Jump

  • This isn't really accurate. Mbin does what Lemmy and Piefed do (Reddit replacement) plus what Mastodon does (twitter replacement). They're just in different tabs of the interface. You have the option of microblogging if you want, but threads are still pretty much exactly the same compared to Lemmy or Piefed.

  • Plant-Based Reusable Bottle Sets a New Standard for Sustainability - Yanko Design

    Jump

  • But the plastic this bottle uses isn't compositable. The problem with plastic isn't that it's energy intensive, which it's not really. The problem is that plastic waste lasts basically forever.

    This is just another greenwashed advertisement. Just use a metal water bottle.

    Also I don't know about hemp plastic, but most 'biodegradable' plastic only decomposes at higher heat anyway.
