I mean idolizing thatcher is a bad start in any case.

Yeah maybe I’m an asshole but this post sounds like a boomer take and not a shitpost. In fact, my dad’s girlfriend would post this right after an article about the dangers of chem trails.

The guy in the videos sounds really convinced. Is this a big thing or more of a “cautious optimism” thing as is with most scientific innovation?

I agree with the other comments. “Should” kind of frames this as a necessity. It’s not - no one gets to dictate what’s in the game except for the developers. But I will have a hard time without a clean PvE mode, especially if the game wants to be both PvE and PvP.

Why? Because in PvE you are dependent on the community of the game. And sometimes it’s great, but sometimes it can really suck the fun out of a game. Having the option to chill and not interact with anyone can be great of you don’t wanna gamble on the community, especially when you wanna play to decompress after a work day.

You sound delightful to be around.

Fyi this community is full of those memes and if you criticize them you might get the mods on you ass.

That’s the reason other meme communities are doing better.

This is the most NPC comment thread I have ever seen. Between the preschool insults, the perfect grammar and the direct and plain bashing, this is really surreal. I’m not even trying to be mean, I’m just dumbfounded.

Exactly

We all know some people who are clearly smart and some people who are clearly dumb

I don’t. I thought maybe Elon musk is smart or maybe he is a good public speaker. Maybe he is charismatic or maybe he is just lying really effectively.

With 20/20 hindsight it’s good to reflect and understand it was smart to be cautious about my judgement. I will never be sure if someone is smart or dumb, because there’s so much going on I can’t possibly understand.

Even Einstein who clearly had a lot of very impactful and helpful theories and ideas I wouldn’t say is smart. I would only go so far as to say he is a great physicist.

I also disagree that being smart is generally advantageous in life. All the people who seemed smart to me were deeply depressed at some point in their life, some even still and some even went a bit further with it.

What I’m trying to say is the world is complex, and such generalizations only lead to wrong causal links.

Maybe smart don’t give you money but money helps to learn and become smart. Maybe smarts don’t give you advantages in life but an advantageous life affords you opportunities to become smarter. Maybe being smart is the wrong way to think about it and it’s all just different patterns and behaviors of thinking. Or maybe your thoughts are more profound in some circles and people who think more profound appear smarter to us.

Let’s just take a healthy dose of skepticism to such studies but also to all those “we all know it” ideas. I don’t. I’m fucking stupid but that leads to smarter decisions than the me who assumes a bunch of stuff.

You can do everything right that people taught you. But you only start living when you make mistakes, fuck up, and find the places where you belong, and a picture perfect life doesn’t bring you happiness; it’s rather shallow and lonely.

That paired with the realization that my mental disabilities will make me lonely for the rest of my life and there’s only so much I can do about it without having breakdowns.
