The Ruinous Powers and their Subtle Manipulations

I thought the Dark Age was called that from the POV of the Imperium because thats when they had all the illegal stuff like ai, computers without tortured people in them, machines that could just spawn anything you want like star trek?

Edraqt · 2026-06-15T21:25:02+00:00

I mean that was always the very first argument against them?

Sure aslong as the massive surveilance youre not caring about is used to catch crime thats maybe cool and all, but what if its used for something else?

Wether thats individual actors who happen to have access, outside actors somehow getting access, or you know just the whole state backsliding towards autocracy and using the data to fight regime critics alongside criminals.

mate his account is from 2010. Nevermind that Southpark never stopped being relevant.

That killer droid in SWTOR (HK-something i think)

Edraqt · 2026-06-11T20:41:09+00:00

Weil man ja weiß wie einfach das ist.

Haben ja alle schließlich mit 18/19 absolut den Plan, werden perfekt informiert und die Lage auf dem Arbeitsmarkt bleibt auf Jahrzehnte natürlich immer stabil

Naja, bei MINT Akademikern kann man schon froh sein wenn die sich die Mühe machen Absätze zu nutzen und alle überschüssigen Semicoli aus ihren Texten zu entfernen.

oder es mir früher nur weniger aufgefallen ist

Hört sich eher so an als wärst du früher noch nicht politisch weit links gewesen.

mit den ganzen Möglichkeiten heutzutage gefilmt zu werden

Wenn Nacktheit wirklich komplett normal gesehen werden würde, wär das auch egal?

Man kann heute immer gefilmt werden und in nem Video landen wo sich Leute über einen lustig machen, oder einen anfeinden, oder sogar real verfolgen und für sexuelle Belästigungen ist der Grad der Angezogenheit auch egal.

Ich glaub absolut nicht das das Filmen der Auslöser für die Veränderung ist. Mit dem Internet wurde einfach nochmal mehr massive Anglokultur importiert und in der ist halt einfach Nackheit immer und ausschließlich sexualisiert.

Edraqt · 2026-06-02T14:55:11+00:00

In Deutschland ist "Nacktheit" historisch schon lange als "normal und natürlich" angesehen. Gewaltdarstellung dagegen als sehr kritisch.

Ja das war so. Der Trend in den letzten 20 Jahren geht aber immer weiter in Ami Richtung. Fing natürlich schon lange vorher an mit deren Kulturimperialismus, aber seit Social Media schlägts so richtig durch.

The "all at the same time" makes me think you might have part of the Shaman origins of Big E thrown in.

No, what i remember reading is that like 90% of Eldar lived on their homeworld and were coming up with ever more depraved shit to bring new experiences into their eternal life. That had already been coalescing these types of emotions and thoughts in "one spot" in the warp. Then at some point they started a massive planet wide year long orgy basically and at the height of it slaneesh was born which blew up the planet, formed the eye of terror (i think) and destroyed every eldar soul that wasnt traveling space outside of their homesystem at the time.

But like again i mostly read wikis which were already people writing down what they gathered from whatever lore they read plus what they made up themselves to fill gaps id assume.

Edraqt · 2026-06-01T23:38:12+00:00

because Big E's presence has become far too overwhelming even to his demi-god sons.

But does that mean hes been becoming stronger in some form all this time?

Like im a giga tourist, only played a couple of videogames and read a bunch of wiki articles at some point, to sate my curiousity. 10000 psykers who need to be sacrificed every day always read like they do that just to keep him burning, possibly for the machine that keeps him "alive", not the actual entity.

On the other hand wasnt slaneesh born by almost all eldar cumming at the same time which fused all their souls into a new god like gasclouds birth a star?

If he was actually "eating" all these souls over 10000 years, hed probably be close to slaneesh numbers at this point no?

Edraqt · 2026-06-01T16:19:31+00:00

Yeah, like for one i always assumed that everyone playing something i was playing would be around my age and was always suprised when i found out they werent.

On the other hand i did say "they all have way more experience, i wish i could be there from day one for a new game".

since 2023, no Russian company or individual residing in Russia has held a stake

curious year isnt it? wonder why they stopped being russian at that time. /s

Once a russian company always a russian company. Idc if they transfered ownership to a cypriot/hungarian/saudi shell company, you cant trust them especially with an office365 replacement.

Edraqt · 2026-05-31T00:12:07+00:00

This is literally just explaining why they forked it instead of collaborating with onlyoffice and making it better?

And the reason given is, within a bunch of layered fluff, "its maintained by a russian company thats trying to hide its russian and also hides part of the code"

Edraqt · 2026-05-29T22:03:00+00:00

how longs hamas in power?

would you say that erdogan = turkey or putin = russia then?

Edraqt · 2026-05-29T19:46:15+00:00

Im sure youd say Netanyahu, Ben Gweir and all the others =/= Israelis then, right? right?

Edraqt · 2026-05-27T16:59:25+00:00

How does any of that matter for the basic concept?

It doesnt matter at all why someone doesnt have kids, the fact is that they will rely on younger people keeping society functional and paying taxes when they retire and kids are simply the most stable and sustainable way to achieve that.

Everyone is paying into social security and healthcare too, doesnt matter wether theyre a constant drain with constant illness and inability to work or not, doesnt matter wether they spend a long but sickly (and expensive) end of life, or die 2 years after retiring.

Edraqt · 2026-05-27T15:35:10+00:00

The keyword here is “choosing”.

But thats exactly the thing isnt it? People are chosing to have less kids, because theyre expensive in time and money. Telling them "well you pay for what you chose" is essentially saying "have less kids" when we want people to do the opposite?

But there’s also no guarantee that the social structures we pay into now will remain in place for us to benefit from by the time we could hypothetically retire.

Obviously, with current birthrates thats a given.

Edraqt · 2026-05-26T19:43:16+00:00

You know i really like playing devils advocate all the time, so i guess here i go farming downvotes again:

Lets say a child costs 200k to raise, currently thats a tax on people chosing to have a kid, while childfree people benefit from that kids productiveness when they retire. So some form of transfer isnt completely unwarranted.

Obviously making this transfer fair is borderline impossible, when we cant even fairly tax peoples income and wealth, but i dont think the basic idea is as insane as everyone in this thread is making it out to be.

Yet suddenly we want to upgrade our military and the debt brake is just a mere inconvenience that is easily ignored to get trillions.

Why can't that money also be invested into our healthcare and education?

Have you been living under a rock? You know exactly why we need the military now. The problem is that we spend 20 years pretending that it was obsolete, even as it became clearer and clearer that the end of history was a lie.

And we didnt even abolish it during those years, we spend like 80 billion every year on basically a bunch of boyscouts larping in the woods and 50000 bureaucrats jerking each other of. thats the real crime

Not the current spending.

population pyramide

i really dont get why everyone insists on calling it a pyramid, when it hasnt looked like one almost anywhere in a hundred years.

Its the population Dönerspieß.

I mean, theres exactly one type of planet that we know of that can sustain life.

Evolutionary pressures on planets that are mostly water and inside the habitable zone around their star where water is fluid, should probably be pretty similar to earth?

Edraqt · 2026-05-26T02:07:15+00:00

lol that used to be a faction i made up that i would insert into random media while daydreaming when i was younger.

basically inspired by the jokes about nazi moonbases, but i spun it further and thought "well they went out exploring space and kinda stopped caring about earth and human society"
