  • Reddit let trumps subreddit stay up for years, not to mention all the other vile and bigoted places

    I do not put much faith in that reddit actually cares about homophobia

    And calls for violence has always been selective. Has reddit ever banned anyone for supporting a state to kill people? For example, supporting death penalty, supporting cops shooting people, supporting Ukraine/Russia to kill Russians/Ukrainians, or supporting Israel killing Palestinians?

    The whole subject of "calls for violence" has always been biased, because we see state actors being violent as justifiable, but non-state actors as not, so it's not right to say they don't support calls for violence, they only don't support selective ones that they are not entirely clear about. They don't support the people

  • Densely populated isn't a problem for everyone (I like dense), and the pollution isn't as bad as it used to be, right?

    The authoritarian part is a major major issue of course, but my layperson perceptions of the material conditions of China is that it's not nearly as bad as it used to be, and is getting better

    And another upside, good public transit

  • Oh I fully get you, and it is a problem, but at least enough of the people I know consider discord's behaviour problematic already that it would be possible to get things rolling with migrating smaller communities and friends

    The big communities though? Yeah no. There's a reason Facebook is still used, it's used a lot for organizing things

  • If they were on the position to produce it, they would have. I highly doubt they chose to not make high end cards "just because", especially because that's where the profit margins would be the highest

    I think that you're simply expecting a bit too much, and a little too far ahead in terms of your requirements. 4K RT 120fps is something that's just barely starting to get achievable at the absolute highest end, and even then not without compromises

  • Well I'm mostly thinking they're gonna benefit depending on how ignored they end up being in any potential conflict, as a consequence of not being in that conflict. That's mostly speculation, I don't have anything to actually back it up beyond my meanderings

  • Yes, this is crucially what is often forgotten

    If you are actually directly participating in a war, then it's nothing but destructive

    "War is good for business" would apply mostly to china in this case, and a little to Africa and maybe South America depending on how involved they're gonna end up being

  • We build the thing on the moon itself

    Sure, it's mostly barren rock, but it still got useful stuff there, like for example water (hydrogen and oxygen, rocket fuel), carbon and oxygen in the rocks (methane, also rocket fuel), metals (building rockets), and various other elements

    From what I've read we know, it's relatively poor in nitrogen and carbon, so the moon is not as useful as it could have been, but water is really all you need. If you can produce fuel and rocket parts on the moon, it's about as useful as it can be for space exploration and development

    Since, remember, the alternative is getting those resources either from the surface of the earth (expensive in terms of fuel, and requires powerful rockets, aka bigger ships, also expensive), or from some place further out like the asteroid belt (time consuming). Gravity on the moon is much much smaller, so even if we don't have a space elevator, it would be far cheaper to use the moon as a starting point, or at least as a refueling point

  • If the people at the top's plan is actually WW3, then they're stupider than they let on.

    Sure, in theory it's profitable, in practice though? All you're left with is a wrecked world that's worse to live in in every possible way, and that's assuming nukes won't fly

    It's literally the broken window fallacy, which to me has always been a dead obvious problem. Stability, cooperation, and peaceful progress and development has always, and always will be, much more beneficial to everyone in the long run

    These people are literally enemies of humanity

  • Good games tend to be made by creativity, and conservative "anti-woke" people don't exactly tend to be creative

    It kinda goes without saying that being able to think outside the box also comes along with being able to put yourself in other's shoes and empathize, huh?

  • Which is funny because these days I just buy frozen vegetables and make food with those, and I still enjoy it far more than my parent's cooking

    It really isn't even about fresh vegetables
