He explicitly states that it is not 0% of his time due to being bombarded with support requests.

Are you volunteering to field the support requests?

People who focus heavily on this, tend to have issues with being racist / sexist / mysoginistic / etc, or at the very least saying things that are considered that these days.

However, this sentiment is not 100% out of nowhere or without context. Everything in life is a gradient / spectrum / bell curve, and there will always be some minority of people that take things too far.

I've experienced people dismissing my opinion because I appear to be strongly in the privileged class, and while some of those times I've reflected and realized my input really wasn't needed and I was too excited to talk, there have been others where the point I was making had nothing to do with class or privilege, and others where people have not realized that I'm a silent minority and I've still been dismissed out of hand.

I do also feel bad for the generations older than me, as there does seem to be biases towards:

a) assuming that older looking people are more prejudiced

b) focusing on using modern correct language rather than processing the intent of what they're saying.

For example, as my grandma got older and older, she reverted more and more to the language she grew up with, using problematic terms like mulatto etc. and she was an active gay and racial rights campaigner in the 50s and 60s who had stopped using words like that by the 90s and 00s. But people are fallible and stuff from our upbringing does get ingrained in us on a deep level.

Everyone would do better with trying to be more understanding, including us men when we feel slightly targeted by people taking privilege correction a little too far.

Absolute zero cars is a naiively unrealistic goal.

Maybe part of a psy-op?

Spread rumours the fort is defended by giants, have your troops bring these out to leave tracks... Don't know how feasible that would be though, both in terms of leaving tracks in places you wouldn't be observed doing so and in terms of them being believable enough for an actual tracker to believe.

Unknown Worlds was created by Charlie Cleveland and was originally a group of developers making a half life mod: Natural Selection.

With its success, Charlie Cleveland and Max McGuire formed the official studio called Unknown Worlds, and then hired more people to make Natural Selection 2.

After Natural Selection 2, Unknown Worlds made Subnautica 1. Charlie Cleveland was the director, designer, and lead programmer on it. Max McGuire was also a programmer on it, Hugh Jeremy was the producer.

After this, Charlie Cleveland moved into a CEO role, Max McGuire moved in the role of company President, and they had Ted Gill as CEO.

They released Subnautica Below Zero, which none of them were that involved in developing, to somewhat more middling reviews.

They sold Unknown Worlds to Krafton for $500m up front, plus a $250M bonus for on time delivery of Subnautica 2.

Allegedly Krafton asked Charlie Cleveland to work on also producing a Subnautica movie, so he was focusing on that.

Apparently at a milestone review Krafton was unhappy with the amount of content that would be in Subnautica 2 early access. They asked the team to increase it by 30%. The team refused and thought it was ready to release.

Krafton then fired the two studio founders (Charlie Cleveland and Max McGuire), the CEO (Ted Gill), and put in a new CEO who delayed the release past the point of the studio getting the $250m bonus.

The studio then pledged to give the staff a $25m bonus after online uproar.

The fired leadership team is now suing Krafton, meanwhile Krafton is claiming that it was just acting in the beat interests of not disappointing gamers.

One thing worth noting is that Unknown Worlds was 90% owned by the three executives who were fired. When they got purchased by Krafton, the three of them split $450m. When the $250m bonus was going to be paid out, $225m would go to them, with only $25m going to the other equity owning staff, which is why Krafton paid them $25m.

Its wild, Biden was like "I'm saving the world" and then slapped tariffs on cheap EVs rather than match subsidies, ensuring the survival of gas cars and destruction of the planet, for the benefit of American manufacturing.

Trump is like "I'm saving America" and just fucking over everyone.

We all imagine that, is has yet to happen. Vibe coders can produce the spaghetti code of upwards of 10 unpaid interns! What value!

LMFAO, bruh, your categories are 18-29, and 65+.

Your Source literally entirely skips over the age group we're talking about. You're not proving strong literacy skills of any kind atm.

And writing skills are literally entirely different from understanding how a computer works and how to trouble shoot it. Can you name what activity Gen z is doing that's equivalent to texting that is teaching them how to trouble shoot computers that's different then the way millenials learned?

Because the whole point of that comic is that boomers learned to read and write using letters and books but look down at millenials when they read and write short messages to each other constantly, which is also practicing reading and writing. So what activity is Gen z doing that's learning how to trouble shoot things that millenials don't recognize as learning how to trouble shoot things?

(For the record I think the generation difference is wildly overblown in threads like this, but Im also not convinced that it's completely unreal, and I also think boomers still had somewhat of a point that that comic glosses over, and we're all now seeing it with our attention spans and vitriol).

No, your notion of morality is accurate, there's no reason to race to the bottom because someone else sucks more.

Dr Saurab Kumar, associate professor in the GMCH Bettiah’s paediatrics department, told The Telegraph: “I received the child active and alert but his mouth and face was swollen because of the reaction to the venom in the oral cavity.

“We were surprised and cross-checked with his parents multiple times to ensure the child was not bitten by the cobra to rule out that venom had not gone into his bloodstream. They told us he bit the cobra and the snake died on the spot.”

He continued: “The child had eaten a part of the cobra and the venom had gone into his digestive tract, unlike in the cases where the cobra bites the person and venom goes into blood and triggers neurotoxicity.

“We gave him anti-allergy medicine and kept him under watch. As he didn’t develop any symptoms for 48 hours, we discharged the child on Saturday.”

Dr Kumar said the cobra had died apparently because of the trauma to the head and mouth from the child’s bite.

"Seriously we triple checked like 8 times, in our medical opinion, that kid just fucking mashed him."

People keep talking in the abstract like this when it comes to abortion and it feels like it's just talking past the other side rather than actually confronting why they're wrong.

People killing others en masse is one of the very few times that people universally agree that violence up to and including, killing the perpetrator, is justified.

And with the abortion debate, some people genuinely believe that it's murder. The argument against it is not that anti-abortionists are cruel but that killing an undeveloped collection of cells is fundamentally not murder as it is not causing pain or suffering to a being that can experience it in any meaningful way. If someone wants to believe in special magic that gives that collection of cells magic specialness then they can, but they have to acknowledge that there's no scientific basis for it and thus it has no more basis being a broad societal law than the rules of Magic The Gathering.
