  • The first four terms became associated with disabilities through the medical field. The first two terms were categories on the IQ-Scale (idiot is the one that comes before imbecile in that scale, btb). The third is a shortening of a medical term conflated with another (spasticity and clonus) and the fourth is another psychological term referring to similar things as the first two.

    Those were originally meant to be clinical but have been abused by those people, they also were created from outside the community (special needs most likely too, as it is a euphemism). I am unsure about "Acoustic", that might be embracing of a meme, unless it was used as a euphemism for autism by non-autistic people.

    Neurodivergent is different, this is a term coined by a part of the community. I am not sure whether the term endonym is accurate here but it is similar in nature.

  • That is and was the entire point of the nuclear armsrace back then, sometimes called the MAD (mutually assured destruction) doctrine.

    Basically, you stock up enough to guarantee you can destroy the world and now no one can use it, without being, well, MAD.

    But Putin might be mad enough to ignore that

  • If you've never played a CoD at all, I would recommend just playing the campaign (might be buggy atm though). It usually teaches all the necessary skills in order to be at least of some use in PvP, even when you aren't a pro in shooters.

    Other than that, the Zombies mode is nice.

  • The bar of entry is also far lower. Something like chatGPT or Copilot is magnitudes cheaper and far more useful than a VR headset.

    Additionally, large models AI don't make one physically sick with motion sickness, only mentally.

  • I hardly think it is necessary to be an expert in Near-East conflict or politics in order to condemn what basically amounts to a terrorist attack.

    Whether or not they should do something is a different issue all together. But dismissing criticism because they don't provide an alternate solution to an intricate problem is hardly any more helpful. Israel has many more pathways to do this properly, one idea would be the ICJ.

    You're also falling into an overgeneralization fallacy. While Hezbollah is in the lebanese government, this doesn't make all citizens of lebanon complicit. Hezbollah doesn't represent all of Lebanon, neither do Hamas all of Palestine or Netanjahu all of Israel.

  • I think what they meant is if you receive that raise capped or uncapped. Some places have set wage increases based on years worked until a certain ceiling.

    So if you have this annual increase and that capped increase at the same time, you might only beat it because of the additional capped increase. That would mean, at some point, your increase in wages will not catch up with inflation anymore

  • I feel like that wouldn't be within his criticism. The way I understood it, it was that he, and I agree, dislikes the i-frame dodging-centric design because it relies heavily on something invisible like the I-Frames.

    If there was an animation, a flourish or some other visual marker it would help tremendously.

  • The way I interpret the comment is that they are saying "If you would eat normally, you couldn't be that thin."

    It's a reference to the fact that energy cannot be destroyed, only transformed into a different form.
