  • It costs a lot of money to keep a terminally ill person alive.

    I believe we should keep terminally ill people alive for as long as possible if that’s what they want. We shouldn’t deny anyone healthcare. But there are those who prefer to end their agony quick, and I think we should respect their wish.

    I think it’s strange that we spend so much money on healthcare on people who rather don’t want to. Better to use that money on people who want to continue living.

  • This is my thought, but I think many young men are (rightfully) frustrated, but they don’t know what they’re frustrated about. It’s hard to get a job - especially without higher education. It’s hard to buy a home and build a family. Many young men are increasingly more alone.

    At the same time, there’s a lot of talk about the ” white male privilege”. ”What privilege?”, they might think. They don’t feel particularly privileged about their situation.

    And then they find people like Jordan Peterson who seem to speak for their struggles. For first time they hear someone seem to understand them. And they point to the (very wrong) diagnosis of the situation: it’s the woke identity politics fault! But that’s good enough for them, and that’s where the alt-right pipeline starts.

  • It happens when there’s no meaningful competition, and when the friction of switching to a competing product is too high. Companies want to make more money with less. If you can get away with doing less without losing a significant amount of customers, then you will do it.

    For example, the problem with switching social media is that you have to rebuild all your connections. They can make it worse, because customers aren’t willing to switch.

    Another example is Windows. If you’re dependent on a program that only works on Windows it’s hard to make to jump to Linux.

  • Liberals are just sheep. They believe whatever the media tells them.

    That projection.

    My first reaction when seeing the salute was ” oh come on, it can’t be that bad… oh it’s way worse than I thought”

  • A good fit would be random background NPCs. For example, pedestrians in a GTA like game. Can potentially increase the variety in the things they can say, and maybe even talk about things the player has just done.

  • I have never noticed this. Shows how the average consumer doesn’t really care about consistent design languages.

    Given Valve’s history of taking play testing really seriously, I wonder if this is something they’ve realized through user testing?

  • Microsoft has already lost the console wars, and now it starts to look like they might even lose the PC wars. Is there any future for Microsoft gaming? It feels like the only thing they got going for them is Call of Duty.

  • Notably, it refers to answers, not the invalidity or duplication of a question.

    I think it’s too much to close a question just because a different question happen to have the same answer. There might be a future answer that might apply to one, but not the other.
