  • Are co guns really that much more gentle on a projectile? I would have thought the force of the expanding gasses would be similar. It's basically just a pressure explosion vs a chemical one, no?

    This is why we need mythbusters...

    Maybe some YouTuber that was inspired by them can help.

    Hell, I'm actually a videographer I shouldn't really need help with that. I'm just not motivated to make big projects for my own sake most of the time. So, If you make an ice bullet and fly me out to you we can be mythbusters lol.

    Not urine, but ice, as depicted in... Some spy movie I think?

  • Gold

    Jump

  • In today's age they'll fill 95% of that supply chain with robots and automation. Even if it's 40% less effective at retrieving the material, that will still probably result in better overall profit margins.

    The one thing capitalism has proven to be excellent at innovating is wealth extraction. Giving more to one person in every way possible. By the time we have this infrastructure built blue collar workers will be largely redundant.

    It happened to my industry (broadcast television)

    It happened to my father's industry (animation)

    It happened to my step father's industry (biotech)

    It happened to my brother's industry (manufacturing)

    My sister and brother in law just saw their industries stop receiving funding (librarian and environmental scientist)

    Don't count on new fields creating news jobs anymore. That's the way of the old world.

    Whatever benefits having more gold would bring will only be given to the ultra wealthy who control that gold. Even if it brings the cost of phones down by 15% it won't make a difference in how much the average person struggles. In fact, the resources consumed in retrieving and processing the gold will probably end up hurting most of our cost of living.

    We need to work on our social sciences before any other science can bring anyone real benefit anymore...

  • The totally hypothetical button thought experiment

  • Oh no, that's what salaries are for. That way they pay them for 8 hours of work still.

    This should be celebrated though, because they get to go home early if all the work gets done.*

    .*The work is done when the billionaire has enough ** money.

    **Enough is defined as every particle of matter being converted into wealth for the god emperor formally known as billionaire.

  • Does that stop them from destroying the environment? These people are built on hubris.

    Jump

  • Why would they get payed that much? this is unskilled labor, they get minimum wage.

    That, or they hire an undocumented immigrant for even less. Extra bonus because they can't read the sign that explains the killing thing.

  • Replied to the wrong comment

  • Why are most people in real life like Cipher?

    Jump

  • the point is more that entire nations or peoples can't be unilaterally good or bad. imperialism is bad. it is evil. it is a rot upon this world. the real empires that actually did it were largely ancient cultures that existed long before and continue to exist today. to say that Japan is evil for their ww2 era imperialism and that nothing else counts would be an incredibly reductive and cynical worldview.

    real people are also complicated.

    don't forget that you only ever know any of these leaders public images. you don't actualy know what they are like. I'm sure there are people in your life who you make excuses for because they are meaningful to you.

    ceaser was incredibly beloved for plundering his neighbors and giving that wealth directly to his people. he did so much good and so much bad. to try and cast all of those things into a single word is madness.

    ultimately, i just don't agree with one word descriptions of things as broad as people and cultures. there's always more to it. people can be selfish, greedy, caring, helpful, many many things, but "bad" and "good" are just too simple to actualy mean anything more than "i do/dont like them"

    Jump

  • so like... what do they believe? what IS the ideology? like the actual ideas.

  • Why are most people in real life like Cipher?

    Jump

  • well, reality is simply more complicated than fiction.

    in reality there is no clear good guys and bad guys. if you see it that way then you are absolutely oversimplifying something.

    there can be victims and aggressors, but that doesn't make the victims "good guys". for example, i actually despise so much of what the Palestinian government represents, and yet, they are undeniably the victims. that does not make them good guys.

    that concept is too much for most people to contend with. many people, especially conservatives, never grew out of needing everything to be cast in black and white. they can see someone kicked and abused and denigrated their whole life, and still only see them as "bad" for escaping that torment with drugs.

    unfortunately there are many resistance movements i could join right now in america, but they're all the wrong kind. they are confederate wannabes that just want the chance to shoot gay and brown people.

    if life were a simple as "join the resistance" being generally good advice i would need to be a screaming racist homophobe to do it. i think I'd honestly prefer being killed by the fascists.

  • sure, it won't help them recruit, but it will help them hold their existing members. when they have evidence of the "persecution" they face it makes it easier for them to discredit the negative info online.

    i know for certain that this is at least the Mormon playbook.

    Jump

  • ahhh, no worries friend. i like the other commentors suggestion if you have any reason to care lol.

  • 5.9/10

    Jump

  • i guess I'm my mind "quite good" is better than "good"

    like "quite" is a synonym to "very" in this context as I understand it. maybe to a lesser degree, but it's certainly a positive modifier. i would use a similar scale if those two were swapped.

    maybe that's just my dumb american vocab or something, but i would be very confused by that scale as it stands.

  • 5.9/10

    Jump

  • i mean, on that scale a 6/10 is barely above average. I'm still looking at you funny foot calling that "quite good"

  • Excited to announce our Steam Controller arrives on Steam May 4th at 10 a.m. PT. | Valve via Bluesky

    Jump

  • oh i mean i already have one. it was like $30. from Logitech.

    don't need anything fancy for navigating from the couch. for games i have a nice third party controller with hall effect sticks and decent features, which cost less than a regular xbox controller. the flydigi vader 4 pro.

    the only world where this steam controller makes ANY sense is one where people just don't know how good this party controllers have gotten.
