  • I'm confused.

    Why were non-students allowed to be on UCLA property and allowed to throw things and swing weapons? Does the University not have an obligation to protect its students?

    Sounds like people with $$$ to attend that school, need to take their $$$ somewhere else.

  • Yes.

    There's no looting.

    There's no upgrades outside of the instance.

    There's no upgrading of players skills.

    It just about fails all of them.

    Taking weapons out and back in, doesn't count. There's no looting (of non-combat items)

  • lot of industry giants and indies have tried

    No they haven't.

    It's not a hard formula.

    Instanced maps, loot, use loot to upgrade outside of instance in a way that helps your next playthough, Player has experience points and leveling of skills,

    No other game does this, and any industry giants that claim to have tried have missed 1 of the 4 core elements.

  • Nah,

    I grew up in the world of BBS's and IRC. First foray into a chat channel started with someone renaming themselves "34yrDude changes name to 15yrChick"

    ...and that set the tone for me what the internet is.

    It's a entire world where you make absolutely zero assumptions. The 'things' responding in text could be anything. And I say thing instead of people because these days it may not even a person.

    There's an entity that responds to my comments, and perhaps seemingly hurtful,

    it could be some 10yr old kid who doesn't fully understand, it could be could be some mentally challenged person, it could be someone's crazy grandma,

    and now it could be some bot that while not purposefully built to be malicious, through emergent behavior is trolling and insulting people because it gets a rise out of people that results in more and longer comments, which tickles its feedback loop to do more of the same.

    So nah, there's nothing anyone in the vast internet could type out that I would personally hurt my feelings, because I make no assumptions as to where the comment is coming from, and those comments don't have a lot of weight to me.

  • Its weird,

    Because I have a developing conspiracy theory,

    It was clear to everyone, Iran, Russia and China have been developing a kind of trinity semi-alliance. And India is/was kinda on the verge of joining it, and if I was some kind of US long term tactical guru sitting around all day around 2010, I would formulating a plan on how to break them up.

    Maybe bait Russia into Ukraine.... maybe bait Iran into Israel... maybe bait China into Taiwan?

    Watch them drain their military resources and economies into the fight. Offload all of the US's old equipment, maybe sell some new ones. Test detection capabilities, see how things have developed since the Gulf War, see how two modernized militaries clash.

    Is this article right? Maybe. Is this article is just projecting? Perhaps.

    Don't know, but Russia wasting its time/resources and playing it's hand in Ukraine has been net-positive for the US And I feel if Iran did the same, and Israel starting hitting back hard (with them already saying they wont' be directly involved), then it's a win again for the US.

    But that could be playing with fire. The world is fucked if Israel lets off a nuclear device in Iran. Netanyahu is crazy enough to do it, if the people around him let him.

  • Realistic Batteries. It's holding back a LOT of things. A lot of technologies are solved, but just require power.

    Semi-Realistic Room Temperature Super-Conductor.

    If that can be solved, the power density and efficiencies would just be astronomical.... It would absolutely destroy multi-billion industries overnight.

    Way-Out-There-Stuff If they ever prove out an actual functional EmDrive-like thruster, that would absolutely open up space travel to our species.

  • I'm just getting REAL tired of YT recommending these shit channels that have <300 views, <10 thumbs up, and yet have 20k+ subs and their just ripped videos from other sources with obviously AI generated text to voice.

    I've reported a few, and YT has removed them.

    Here's an example of one, https://www.youtube.com/@WorldViewtheory973/videos

    Putting out a video on random topics every 2 hours.

  • I don't understand why governments allow farms to get away with things compared to any other industrialized money making industry

    If a farmer had ten or fewer employees at all times during the previous 12 months, the farmer would be considered exempt from OSHA enforcement.

    You could get away with your 8 year old to driving a tractor around.

    It's a weird gray area of private land and where you live, also happens to be a a potential industrial killing zone.

  • I just blocked a user, because I just kept seeing their name pop up and commenting on 'everything'

    Account created 9 months ago with 15000+ Comments That's like 60 comments a day.

    Bot or not, someone with that many comments a day needs to go outside and experience life before posting their opinion on fucking everything.
