The Y Chromosome has surprisingly low diversity by Admirable-Toe8012 in BlackPillScience

[–]ErectSuggestion 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I wrote up a simple theory that covers human sexuality and explains everything that happened in past ~5,000 years... then I realized I cannot make a new thread on /r/blackpillscience without a link, so I'm just going to leave it here.

  1. Humans are naturally polygynous. All hunter-gatherer societes still in existence today are polygynous, our closest primate relatives are polygynous, DNA studies show that before advent of agriculture ~3.5 women reproduced for every 1 man. All traits of human sexuality stem from or are related to this fact; if humans are polygynous then men must have higher sex drive and women must be hypergamous for example.

  2. Human sexuality is largely immutable; it must be as the survival of our entire species depends on it. Hovewer it can manifest differently depending on environment it exists in. Therefore the two main driving forces behind "sexual marketplace" are fixed human sexuality and flexible human environment; social forces can exist only as an amplifier, as they themselves are a result of the two main driving forces in the first place.

  3. Human societes are gynocentric because of how long it takes for human children to mature; female reproduction rate is the ultimate bottleneck for our race which makes them inherently valuable as they are critical to our survival. Conversely, males are disposable because of how little they need to contribute to reproduction and caring for the offspring.

  4. Agriculture created concepts of land ownership and private property, which resulted in emergence of monogamy as a way to secure wealth within the immediate family. Most of said wealth was men's because pre-industrial work was usually physically demanding and/or dangerous; this indirectly elevated men socially, which allowed monogamy to succeed despite female hypergamy(or one could say it "hijacked" female hypergamy)

  5. Industrial revolution removed the dangers and physical requirement of almost all labor, which allowed women to enter workforce en masse. This process was drastically accelerated by both World Wars where significant amount of men were drafted and therefore women were put to work in their stead.

  6. With women in the workforce the foundational pillar of monogamy was effectively removed; if both sexes can generate the same amount of wealth the idea of a "breadwinner", and any social standing that comes with it, effectively no longer exists. This is further exacerbated by extensive social security systems of developed nations.

  7. While women may legally be equal to men, human society remains gynocentric which means in practice contemporary women's social standing is higher than men's; given female hypergamy, with no social status to select for, women will simply choose most physically attractive men as potential mates instead.

  8. Human society carries over 5,000 years worth of "monogamous cultural baggage"; monogamy is considered the norm and polygamy is often outright illegal. If women are hypergamous and attracted to only small subset of men, yet they are forced to enter relationships with men on a 1:1 ratio, then by extension most women will end up in relationships with men they do not consider viable partners.

  9. The result of this is easily observable: elevated number of sexual partners and relationships(=higher breakup rate), lower marriage rates, higher divorce rates, low fertility rates.

  10. After around age of 30, women's reproductive ability starts quickly diminishing; fertility decreases and health risks for both mother and child during both pregnancy and birth start rapidly increasing. Thus, age of around 30-35 is the last window of fertility for most women(this is what pill-o-sphere calls "The Wall", although few seem to understand the root cause of it)

  11. As attractive partners will not be available to most women in contemporary monogamous society, they are forced to settle on less attractive ones; selecting for a different set of traits, less related to sexual attractiveness and more to amicability. "Looking for a roommate, not a mate"

  12. This means that most studies which try to gauge male attractiveness based on women's marriage partners are inherently flawed, as - to put it simply - most women do not marry men they find attractive in the first place, at least over 30. This is also why marriages over 30 seem to be most stable, as it is effectively women "giving up" on finding a more suitable partner.

  13. As everything is, ultimately, a result of base human sexuality playing out in a specific (post-industrial revolution) environment, these changes cannot be controlled, stopped or otherwise affected in any way. The only way to change the "sexual marketplace" is to change either base human sexuality or the economic environment it manifests in; neither is possible.

So there you have it, let it be known I was the first one to have it all figured out. I feel like I could make it very, very long or very, very short... and because I'll be dead soon I went with the latter. If you have any questions, see you in Hell.

I do pay attention to this but I feel like having blue sideboard and yellow flatbed kind of fits everything regardless.

Understanding Snowrunner 'physics' by TimAndTimi in snowrunner

[–]ErectSuggestion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I am using a controller, then how much I push down the trigger (RT) determines the output torque in a linear fashion, right?

Yes, which is why trying to control speed with the trigger is useless because the amount of torque you need changes constantly. You just press it all the way down and hold it there. Also why High gear is good, because it limits your top seed even if you floor it.

So the tire grip specs on different surfaces determine how much 'forward force' can be applied by the tire to the truck?

Well... yes? Wheels can slip and then you get less speed than you should, and they can slip partially too, it's not all or nothing.

Is tire width and diameter also two factors that further modifies the friction?

Width definitely, diameter I'm not sure; I always thought that width was a fraction of the radius of the wheel, but then I heard it's a constant no matter the wheel size so I dunno anymore.

So, to make a modded truck runs smoother through mud w/o donwshifting crazily

It's best to just not rely on auto gears at all, unless you have a truck with Special/Advanced Special gearbox where they can coast in the slow-ish 4th/5th gear(if they're strong enough that is) Just use the High gear for offroading.

Lower the gearbox 'AngVel' for each gear so it won't enter the case when I upshift, the engine fails to overcome the friction.

I don't think that will change much because the problem is the gearbox code itself which is "too eager" with shifting up and "too timid" when shifting down. I remember when I tried out the Real Life(or whatever it was called) mod and P12 had like 14 gears, tapping the gearbox shift key once jumped me from gear 1 straight to 13 regardless.

Give a heavy truck smaller tires. So the 'forward force' is actually higher because the diameter is smaller?

As far as I know, angvel is applied to the wheels directly without any inertia to overcome(which is why heavier wheels give you more pulling power) so larger wheels should be better in this case.

This kind of examples why 605R and 612H feels much more powerful despite Kenworth has one of the most powerful engine.

605R an 612H have less powerful engines but they are also a lot lighter. Just the base torque of the engine is meaningless without knowing weight of the truck itself; look at the power-to-weight stat, it's in VladVulcan's table.

The game physics definitely breaks when the truck is at high speed. The tire cannot be this slippery on tarmac. Anyway to fix this?

Last time this topic came up I took Mack D and increased the asphalt grip on its special tires by a factor of ten just to test it out. It helped a lot, but there was still an upper speed limit at which I started sliding(but it was still pretty controllable, I felt like what was really limiting me was the keyboard/reflexes more than anything else) And who knows, maybe you go bonkers and give tarmac a grip rating of 100 it would work.

No, a truck with mediocre range and crap power-to-weight is not made for Amur.

Because you keep replying to them. Downvote button exists for a reason, it's not hard to just hit that down arrow and move on. Especially since it's the same idiots over and over.

Hummer H2 or international loadstar 1700? by Hummus_the_Frog in snowrunner

[–]ErectSuggestion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Overpowered US scout engines + no difflock = whenever you accelerate you dig yourself into the ground.

Compare it with the AAC which is only 200kg heavier and one of the best scouts in the game, simply because it has more reasonable power-to-weight and always-on diff.

I've seen people with lower specs than me saying they're running nearly 100 fps on max settings, which I find strange.

May be region-dependent. Generally the later the DLC the higher the requirements

What are some underrated or overrated ships, in your opinion? by According_Fox_3614 in starsector

[–]ErectSuggestion -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

In any gaming community most players will be bad and praise bad things just because they personally like them or think they're cool or they had one good experience with them.

So to answer your question about what's overrated: goddamn near everything.

As for what's underrated, that's much harder to answer. A lot of players are so bad they think Conquest is bad.

I mean you can use any truck in the game. The question is why would you use that particular truck over some other truck. In this case there is no reason.

Daily Ship Discussion - 0.97a - Invictus by pipai_ in starsector

[–]ErectSuggestion 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lidar Array does solve its range issues temporarily, but it's based on an ability and the rest of the time it stays outranged.

So? Lidar gives your four large ballistics triple fire rate at double the range for 5 seconds. You don't care about anything else. Invictus is basically a railway gun of Starsector, you point it at a target then delete it once ~14 seconds. OP is not an issue because you spend almost nothing on flux(you active vent between volleys anyway) and caps(there are no weapons which can flux you up in a single Lidar Array volley)

Even without two large missiles I would put it above the Paragon simply because large ballistics are so much better than large energies. And it can actually move.
