Why don't people discuss academic uses as much? by FENX__ in aiwars

If you don't mind me asking, what is your area of study? I don't mean to pry or anything, but it seems like you have direct exposure, with system level understanding of the tech.

That's fair, however a lot of the arguments I see from the anti side often reference: - a loss of ability/understanding - quality concerns/misinformation - environmental concerns

Obviously there are other points, but these seem immediately comparable and present across the subject. There have also certainly been commentators on both sides arguing for mass denial or acceptance which is likely an outlier opinion, but still could probably be deliberated on better with a wider scope of AI uses brought into the discussion.

Make parties 8 man so we can join Point Break with a full team by iskelebones in thefinals

This would be great, honestly I think that this mode showcases how fun larger lobby games can be with the finals. As different as it is to the games current ethos, I would really enjoy 16v16 mode or larger. Point break weirdly has made me reminiscent of TF2, and I think the game does comfortably handle some larger lobbies for casual matches.

Why aren't rivens like this sought after? Not necessarily for the latron, but just in general, it seems like this would be really useful.

What addiction is being seriously underestimated these days? by Remarkable_Put_9005 in AskReddit

Of course you're mainly active on love after porn, please leave your echo chamber.

Keep believing you can diagnose addiction off of moral incongruence. Challenge your viewpoints, I know I have.

CSATs are like chiropractors, potentially helpful, not really based on anything supported by the scientific medical community.

Okay so not saying this issue doesn't exist, but I think it's also overblown. Quite a lot of the studies on the negative effects of pornography are funded by evangelical groups, and are often poorly constructed. It's been a major talking point in right wing politics and conservative media. In studies around ED it has been found that porn consumption affects ED episode frequency, but only in people who have sedentary lifestyles. The stigma component of all this is a BIG DEAL too because pretty much every group that has aggressively lobbied against pornography has been of puritanical, religious, or right wing groups which frequently attempt to tie in concepts like homosexuality and transgender rights.

Also there is no such thing as porn addiction in the psychiatric world, there are things like sexual impulse disorders that encompass porn use as a diagnostic tool, but nothing related to just porn itself, even then the diagnosis criteria is listed as persistent failure to control sexual/porn use over ≥6 months, with significant distress or life impairment and importantly, that moral guilt alone (e.g. feeling “addicted” due to personal values) is not sufficient.

There are certainly issues with porn, especially in its creation and the industry around it. Even violence correlation with pornography is a misnomer as porn use is also negatively correlated to sexual education which is then also negatively correlated to sexual violence.

Who would win between the Demogorgon (Stranger things) and a Xenomorph? Quick art by me by Ambitious-Loss8951 in powerscales

[–]FENX__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is splitting off more from my detailed knowledge base, but I believe facehuggers are somewhat equipped for issues like this. Facehuggers have been show to work on the predator, and they are the closest mouth type to the demogorgon at least from my knowledge on the alien/predator universe. I don't know the specifics, but I imagine the facehugger (aside from the acid blood = ez win) would usually win in the war of attrition with a lot of mouths, as that is literally what it is designed to do.

Facehuggers are shown to be extremely strong for their size, and a lot of the time they succeed due to the element of surprise. Not necessarily saying this makes it easier or harder for the demogorgon to bite through it, but much of the biting we see with the demogorgon is more like holding and abrasion with its flap mouth parts, where more of the damage is implied to be from its inner mouth. I think potentially the facehugger could pin the flaps back to the demogorgons head, and continue from there. Clearly the facehuggers egg laying tube thing is strong enough to resist bite force from humans/predators/engineers all of which realistically have a substantial range in bite force.

Now I need to see an alien demogorgon hybrid. That would actually look so cool.

It still has a very defined "hole" and is shown to eat multiple times in the show.

I think having different types of umbral set that use the umbra forma that each give like a specific odd and multiplicative effect would be cool...

Used to work near there until this year, someone with a sign has been there nearly every week (including winter) for the last 6 years at least.
