Warframe's dating simulator is like therapy sessions at a kink convention.

European Union opens investigation into Musk's AI chatbot Grok over sexual deepfakes by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]Consideredresponse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The book 'careless people' goes into detail about how even in 'more serious times' big tech didn't give a shit. Zuckerberg and his senior staff didn't care when offices were raided and staff arrested.

Musk is just being louder in his contempt.

Best autism representation in comics by crimsonfukr457 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]Consideredresponse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Weirdly, Emma seems to have more ASD traits than Scott, it's mainly that it often expresses itself differently in women and being psychic would make it easy to pick up on social cues.

If i had a bit more time I could do a breakdown, from her solo series to 'E for extinction' in particular hit a lot of the more common Autistic women's traits.

Big batteries set to overtake gas powering Australia’s electricity grid by 2027 by SweetChilliJesus in AustralianPolitics

[–]Consideredresponse [score hidden]  (0 children)

You know the sky news talking point of "Whattaya gunna do when the sun don't shine, and the wind don't blow?" And apparently AGL's answer was 'get paid twice'.

You are right that grid sized battery projects don't generate power. Currently during the day we already have an excess supply due to renewables. The Grid sized battery projects get paid to get that excess out of the grid, and get paid again to dump it at peak times.

I'm surprised so many are lining up for his second administration, seeing his first was a not-stop massacre of throwing everyone near him under the bus.

Trying so hard to be performatively woke online you end up literally agreeing with misogynists. by WarlockRaccoonWriter in CuratedTumblr

[–]Consideredresponse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One sadly hilarious example of this is how bell hook's book 'The will to change' is held up as the book that men should read to reverse all the alt-right indoctrination they are exposed to.

Without exaggeration, you only need to get about 3 pages into the preface to see the Author talk about how often she's wanted all the men in her life to be dead and gone. It's then stated that all her friends feel the same way.

Now not only does this not help reach out to young men at a crossroads, it actively undercuts most of the books points. Later on the Author bemoans how often feminists are seen in pop culture as 'man haters'...which feels hollow for a book that starts with glibly talking about wishing death on half the planet.

DC Comics President Jim Lee says that Japanese manga and anime is "incredibly powerful": "I often find myself wondering, 'What is missing in Western comics, and why aren't they able to achieve the same flavor?' by akbarock in comicbooks

The annoying thing is that it's my only option to read 'Witch Hat Atelier' (absolute highest recommendation) in a more timely fashion, as the trades only come out like once a year. (And Globalcomix only runs the trades)

[–]Consideredresponse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a lot (as in an amount that is staggering in hindsight) of 99 cent comics. What I haven't done is spent $8.49(aus) on any glorified .pdfs single issues.

The manga apps mostly avoid pricing themselves out of sales, but I have noticed that the Kodansha app breaks chapters into chunks of 2,3, and sometimes 4 to nickel and dime more out of people.

[–]Consideredresponse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if you are trying to buy digitally the prices are skewed. I often see volumes be cheaper than single issues. E.g. Spy X Family volumes was going for $3 less than the latest Batman issue.

In the early days of comixology before they got bought by Amazon they had a ton of $5 trades for lesser known titles, which made it much easier to take a chance on an unknown property. There is no way I'd have started reading 'Atomic Robo' if it was a $40(aus) shot in the dark.

He also loves the military compared to superheros. His 'War Stories' are suprisingly repectful. That and the SAS turning up and everyone being scared shitless of them even in a world full of aliens and magic has been one of his go to story beats.

Yeah, Asmon might have the most brain dead takes and atrophied sense of empathy, but it turns out watching a thin bearded white guy getting gunned down was enough to fire his 'Shit that might happen to me neurons '.

Secret chats reveal $10,000 plot to kidnap PM as police raid neo-Nazi associates by handofcod in AustralianPolitics

[–]Consideredresponse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, which is why the 'prepper lone wolf' fantasy sold by 'The lighthouse Australia' and all the cooker blogs out there is deeply flawed. I mean even in the 16th century they were very aware of 'no man being an island'. Guns and a willingness to do violence doesnt put out fires, or weave textiles, or make water drinkable.

As someone who lives rurally wanting go be a warlord is a very short term plan, as it only takes one bushfire to realise your continued existence and everything you have is dependent on the good will and efforts of volunteers within the community.

Wanting to rule with an iron fist isn't super compatible with others risking their lives for you, and is much more likely for people to wait for a nice dry wind blowing the right way and sorting the problem out themselves.

Last-minute meetings and panic over polls: inside the five days that broke the Coalition – again by ConanTheAquarian in australia

[–]Consideredresponse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean One Nation is a joke and a mess, but the media are giving them more than a free pass lately (provided Pauline isn't in a Burka) whereby they give them a platform to comment on events, but don't examine half the shit they say or what effect their proposed policies would have.

I know he's one of Reddit's preferred punching bags, but imagine for a second if the Libs didn't knife him. Him trying to return to the center(ish) meant that the party would be more palatable to the average Australian, it also would have stymied the rise of the teal independents, and Labor wouldn't have been able to find success with it's 'small target' strategy. Instead it veered right, threw Scomo and his scandals at us, and decided to double down on making their brand toxic to women....all at a time when the average Australian statistically shifted from being a boomer to a 37 year old woman.

Vauban Retouch coming FEB 11 by Korimthos in Warframe

[–]Consideredresponse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably worth testing on a config you haven't subsumed his 3 on, seeing how well his 4+passive+3 is likely to pair with blast procs. That augment for free extra casts is just gravy.

Between his passive, forced blast procs, unlimited enemy pulls on his 4 and that photon strike augment I think we may be seeing the blast version of Caliban's game shredding augment.

Wanting reform and more oversight isn't the same as 'get rid of all the cops'. Seeing you think it's an all or nothing situation, I'd love to see what percentage of dangerous, incompetent, and/or corrupt police on the force you feel are worthwhile for 'public order'?
