I’m sorry, what? This reads like it went through a machine translation.

Are you trying to say that mods are good, and thus players have good ideas?

If so, I’d respond with a reference to sturgeon’s law. Many players are idiots. There’s a small minority that have good ideas. So my original claim that players are, on average, idiots, would hold up.

Business Idiots. Microsoft and other large corporations are run by idiots who are out of touch with customers and the product.

Microsoft should be broken up. None of these corporations should be allowed to get this big. It’s a simple solution, but it would make some rich people upset.

Neat. Hope it burns down the house of some malicious would-be attacker.

It’s a good example of how conservatives will say anything to chase their desired effects.

Math conventions say to do multiplication before addition. Writing it as “3+3*2” invites the error you made when you read left to write. There are clearer ways to write it (eg (2*3) + 3, but some people get kind of aggro about that.

The old calculator I just found in the desk, a canon HS-1000TG, does do the operations as you enter them.

Entering 3+3x2= returns 12

Today I leaned on whatever android calculator app I have, if you type 3+3x2 it does return 9. I didn’t think it was that sophisticated, and thought it just evaluated left to right like an old time calculator. Or at least, I think that’s how my old calculator worked.

I’m still very happy with Linux. Microsoft can fuck off.

I don’t think “the market” is good at directing companies to make good products. Maybe we shouldn’t rely on it so much.

Yeah. I’ve seen some players’ ideas. Players are, on average, idiots.

I’m reminded of when players want to add critical miss effects to DND. “I added critical misses to my DND game! On a natural one really bad things happen! Like you drop your sword!” -> “But fighters make way more attacks, right?” -> “yeah” -> “so they’re going to critically miss a lot more” -> “…yeah” -> “so a fighter making four attacks a round has a 18% chance of dropping their sword every round” -> “…what?”

I have money. I usually just tip 20% of the total. Usually I’ll round up. Like I was just at a bar and the total for 2 drinks and some food was $33. I tipped $7.

If it’s a place I go to regularly I’ll tip more. My regular bar sometimes throws in free stuff, and let me reserve some tables recently, so I usually tip generously there.

Yes. I’ve been saying for years that electric cars and self driving cars are solving the wrong problem. The problem is if I need a car to get groceries. The problem is I’m not safe on the street because of all the cars.

People who have never lived someplace that doesn’t need a car are very eager to tell you how it won’t work, though.

Happily using Linux at home. Played some elden ring today, and the original fallout last week. Did some writing in libre office. It’s fine. And free. I never have to tinker with it.

Conservatives don’t care about truth or consistency. It’s just in-group loyalty and out-group hostility.

If you accuse them of being hypocrites, it won’t land because to them they aren’t. They have maintained in-group loyalty the whole time.

I’ve had cases where I’ve moved the needle. Got someone to move from “I hate communism!!” to “I see where you’re coming from. Capitalism has problems, I admit”.

For some people, you need to let them feel heard and avoid being too antagonistic.

Some people are just trolls, though.

I really appreciate written words over video.

That post made me angry at how stupid the built environment is in most places.

Many people are terrified of being uncomfortable and confrontation

They don’t say things because they believe them to be true. They say things for the effect they want it to have. They lie. Or maybe just bullshit, because they don’t care about truth at all.
