Ah sweet!

  • I think the brain is only where the concentration of prions is highest and therefore the most dangerous part of an infected person to eat, but you can also get it from other body parts. But I'm no expert... haven't eaten anyone in years actually.

  • Fair point, but I would argue that if you had that kind of experience on twitter, you're weren't really the target demographic.

    Desperate and out of touch, yes, but deliberately fucking up a platform and ruining his "Iron Man" persona? He's too stupid and too invested in what people think of him.

    There's a version of this conspiracy I could buy though: the Saudis gave him money and stroked his ego knowing that there was no way he wouldn't fuck the whole thing up. Everyone except him knew how this was going to end. That conspiracy I could get behind.

  • Well, since he's talking specifically to christians, in the context that he wants all christians to vote: he could have meant that he will fix all their concerns during his term -- no more abortions, "christian values" in school, etc -- so that next election, they don't have to worry anymore. Just come out and vote this time, he'll fix America so good that the liberals can't even undo it if they win the next one (but they won't, because everyone will be happy in this new golden age).

  • I don't buy this conspiracy theory at all, 1) twitter is disinformation heaven, which is very useful to authoritarian regimes and 2) Musky would never intentionally do anything to harm his public image, he's a textbook narcissist after all.

  • Favourite Amiga games: Secret of Monkey Island 1&2, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Rick Dangerous 1&2, Pirates!, Flashback, Lemmings, Eye of the Beholder....just off the top of my head

    Favourite now: The Witness, Braid, Portal, Obra Dinn, Papers Please, Fez, Talos Principle, BoTW, The Last Door...etc.

  • the algorithm couldn't make faces at all

    And what would be lost? I might be missing something, but what is the benefit of being able to make fake people faces that outweighs the damage it can do to people's lives and the chaos wrecked on society from deepfakes etc?

  • As an alcoholic, I can say with complete certainty. That some one who drinks everyday to "de-stress" IS one or very much is in danger of becoming an alcoholic if it goes on long enough. Second, specifically mentioning "it's not the alcohol" is usually a huge red flag, it means they're worried they may actually have a problem and are over compensating.

    I get that you are trying to be helpful here and that's a good thing, but I suspect you try too much to fit what OP is saying into the mould of your own experiences. And again, you assume too much and to boot, you assume that OP is lying, which means suddenly anything could be true or false.

    some one who drinks everyday

    OP does not drink every day.

    Second, specifically mentioning "it's not the alcohol" is usually a huge red flag, it means they're worried they may actually have a problem and are over compensating.

    Or it could actually be true. People simply use alcohol in this way because it works. It might end in a destructive pattern of abuse or it might not, but actual alcohol problems come with a lot of other symptoms and patterns, none of which are on display here.

  • Perhaps you should be a bit more cautious about diagnosing people you've never met based on very little information. You assume a lot and jump to baseless conclusions.

    If you need alcohol that much to "de-stress", then you are functionally unable to live without alcohol.

    The original comment describes a situation of constant stress, and alcohol as a shortcut to destress. That person even says that it's not the alcohol in itself that is desirable. Nowhere does this person talk about excessive consumption.

  • Um, no. Problematic use of alcohol, perhaps - "alcoholism" implies addiction, impact on relationships and rest of life etc, which is not implied in the previous comment. A lot of people use a beer or two to deflate after work or stress without it necessarily being a problem. You have to look at the whole picture.
