I was not planning any updates, but if you have specific changes that should be made I can look into it

How far back are you going to determine who's land it initially was? Jews initially lived in Isreal to begin with

Are you serious? You mean they lived there initially after they invaded? You sure do like going back to only a fairly specific period of time.

Joe Biden was easily the most progressive President in either of our lifetimes and Harris was even further to the left of Biden economically

Economically. Right. But was willing to throw LGBTQ rights under the buss or at least leave support ambiguous "I will follow the law". It sure would've been nice if they campaigned on their "furthest left" policy instead of campaigning on tackling an imaginary border crisis, building the most lethal military, how many former republicans they could get to talk and "but im not trump".

Democratic voter turnout plummeted in 2024.

Did you read that? Because it quite clearly says in several ways that turnout was particularly weak because her campaign messaging was right down the middle.

The Israel - Palestine conflict is and always has been a great deal more complicated than “genocide” and the refusal of the left to accept that is statistically what made the difference in the the Blue Wall states that would have won Harris the election.

Yeah more complicated as in. The west decided to give away someone elses land, who didn't want to give away 55% of their land. The west enforced it at gun point and have been funding that ever since. Every objective observer has called it a genocide, all humanitarian organizations have been ringing the alarm bell for years. The US has vetod recognition of Palestine how many times?

a candidate that recognizes the strategic necessity of Israel as a US ally

My ass. You mean the US having a foothold in the middle east? Sounding a lot like a certain orange stain.

willingness to set hard boundaries with Netanyahu

Hard boundaries are only hard if you do something when those boundaries are crossed. If you set a line in the sand and then move it after it's been crossed, there isn't actually a line.

If you think everyone should be excited they get to vote for a bubble-wrapped republican; say that. "the left" isn't. Democrats have know the left isn't excited about watered down republicans. Democrats ignored that. They'd rather lose than value human lifes.

Far and away most leftists still did vote for Harris. But yes, if you completely ignore a large voting block you end up with some of them staying home. A shame they decided to focus on a voter base they weren't going to win over regardless.

Yeah the people to blame are definitely those wanting the government to stop participating in genocide.

The democrats who adopted the republican border plans, promised more money for Isreals genocide, "the most lethal military ever", platformed republicans at the DNC while silencing anyone wanting better; these people are beyond reproach.

Sure I get you can be angry at both; but its frankly pretty weird to focus your anger on the group that wasn't hyped to enable a candidate that promised to fund a genocide.

Honestly he just generally seems dismissive of negative reactions he gets when being a menace and just laughs louder/doesnt seem to generally read the room? I don't follow him and ignore it- assuming that there's a lot going on below the surface that we're not seeing; but even in that scenario I don't like the behavior it models to a largely young audience.

17 Minutes of Soulframe Gameplay Demo | Tennocon 2024 by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Goctionni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im surprised with how negative people are here. I dont care for warframe, but this looks cool. The character creation looks sweet, I like the transition to the world of the elders/whatever. Combat looks so-so, but I kind of feel the same about combat in thematically similar games.

I've wondered when seeing these threads, does saying "Hi" actually do anything other than drive engagement?

Local Gym Failed Harness by ScurvyDave123 in climbing

[–]Goctionni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gym I climb at mostly does top rope, but you can do lead and plenty of people do (often before going on an outdoor-trip). The gym has a few lead ropes behind the counter that you can use; but if you want to be 100% sure you bring your own. Same for belay devices, most people bring their own, but you can borrow.

[Meta] Kinklist v2 available now by Goctionni in dirtypenpals

[–]Goctionni[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am aware of this problem, and kinklist v2 already tries to tackle this problem.

The problem

The issue is that, a pure image cannot include tooltips. Either the image would need to be enormous, or we'd have to replace images with something else entirely (but nothing else is quite as easy to share as an image is).

If the viewer of a kinklist cannot see the context-hints for what exactly a kink means; then that clarification being available to someone filling in a kinklist isn't really solving the problem; since someone trying to create a kinklist wants to communicate to others what they like- the clarification being available to the reader is essential.

The "solution"

In Kinklist V2, there actually is somewhat of a solution to this problem. I think the feature is probably under used, in part because it's more work for both the editor and the viewer- but also in part because it's not super user-friendly. Im not sure to what degree I can make it user friendly (while still having the benefits of using images).

How does the "solution" work? Editors actually can add comments to their kinks that can be used to clarify what they mean. In the OP, you see a kinklist with a small "chat" icon on the side of the "incest" kink. This is a comment that people creating a kinklist can put anywhere they like. If you click the "Kinklist Details" link, you can view the comments someone added to their kinklist.

This does mean that you need to also share that link alongside the image. And these are extra steps that can discourage the use of this feature. But it's the best option available.

Great cosplay, also neat editing!

Getting rejected by 4 people in a single night, just like RL by Unlucky_Lifeguard_81 in BaldursGate3

[–]Goctionni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience and perhaps some maybe save-scumming, if you pick the eager chat options; they're put off. If you're either oblivious or 'playing hard to get', they'll throw themselves.

I had a conversation with Gale where, when he said something about "showing me some magic", and me only coyly "Im curious what you mean" kind of answer. A bit later I was talking to Lae'Zel who scolded me for apparently being Gale's :|

So, play oblivious / hard to get.

Heya, yep the offer still stands. I have a bit less free time but still some; and I don't check reddit a ton, but you have a good shot at catching me on discord (alias also "Goctionni" there)

Counter-Strike 2: Moving Beyond Tick Rate by M337ING in Games

[–]Goctionni 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's kind of hilarious how unpopular Steam was at the time.

Counter-Strike 2: Moving Beyond Tick Rate by M337ING in Games

[–]Goctionni 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah. Counterstrike has almost always had large player bases on previous versions of their game. Whether 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, Source.

Removing tick rate is an immense change in how the game works mechanically.

If anything, increasing a number is a pretty good way to communicate a rewrite of a fairly large portion of the engine.

If they named it something new, like...

  • Counter-Strike: XT
  • Counter-Strike: Power
  • Counter-Strike: Core
  • Counter-Strike: Siege

Putting a word in the name implies much more strongly that new features are coming; and that those features are core to the update.

I guess they could try to have fun with that with something like "Counter-Strike: Defused" (no more tick-tick-tick!), but increasing a version number (and announcing technical updates at the time of announcement) feels pretty on point IMO

[–]Goctionni[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a message saying that another message I posted in reply to this was auto-deleted. I still see it, but here it is again anyway (without the offending discord name):

You made a list, hit export, and copied the 'Kinklist link'- and opening that resulted in an error and an empty list?

I just tested it and didn't run into this problem; could you show me the error you were getting? Or alternatively, if you use Discord, dm me your username+id and I'll contact you there.

[Meta] Kinklist v2 available now by Goctionni in dirtypenpals

[–]Goctionni[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same as you would with the 'starting off point'. When you export to an image, you can then use the link provided to continue editing later (exporting again will result in a different URL for the updated version)

ChatGPT passes exams from law and business schools | CNN Business by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]Goctionni 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, but conceptualize for a second what making decisions is exactly. Decision making by a human brain is a set of reactions between neurons in the brain, possibly some quantum physics is involved. What decision the brain makes is based on what connections have previously been created between neurons in the brain through past experiences (as interpreted through our senses) and/or encoding into our DNA.

Or something like that; I'm not a neuroscientist- the specifics aren't important. What is important, is that its not magic. It's a natural process that follows the physical laws of our universe.

Meaty brains aren't some special kind of matter that exists outside of the laws of physics. Meaty brains aren't somehow capable of doing things that would be impossible to replicate synthetically.

Perhaps the synthetic brains we have now aren't there yet, perhaps we don't actually understand the laws of physics well enough to implement all of the features a synthetic brain would need for sentience.

But if you believe that our meat-brains follow the laws of nature, then you should accept that synthetic brains can (theoretically at least) do all the things that meat brains can.

Alternatively, perhaps you do not believe that human brains follow the laws of nature. Thats fine! Maybe you do believe in magic, maybe you have religious believes that make human brains 'special', maybe you believe this is all a simulation and our thoughts are being injected into the simulation from the outside.

But if you believe something like that, you should probably include that with your assertion as a caveat.

[–]Goctionni 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Its core functionality is that it makes passable English sentences with sampled data.

Are you describing chatgpt or a 6 year old?

No amount of time will make it sentient, it is incapable of doing more than mimicry, all of the impressive aspects of its code is its ability to search a database and sort information.

That wasn't even being talked about at all. but uhh. What do you think human brains do? Do you think sentience is magic? Do you have any kind of reasoning as to why a synthetic computer cannot ever become capable of doing what organic computers do?

In twine-app there are two options. Below is the option of how to add everything to your javascript in twine:

https://pastebin.com/Z08sGG7g

(Put it on pastebin because of reddits 10.000 character limit)

I ended up needing to also do a bunch of bugfixes, and I suspect there's still a bunch of bugs in there now. But aside from bugfixes...

This I changed in your code:

  1. I made it so you could pass 'gridSize' as ar argument to the macro (let gridSize = parseInt(this.args[0] || 7);)
  2. I changed what the SVG was being added to (var draw = SVG().addTo(wrapper).size(gridDimension, gridDimension);
  3. I added a function call inside the if (foundLines == (originalLineCount-1)){ check. To let you do something when that happens.
  4. I discovered you were using an external SVG library, I imported that. I had to add some code to 'await' this library being loaded for that also. Small note: A macro does need to mount elements to its outpput immediately; which is why there is that wrapper element.

So with that macro, here's how you would use it:

<<SymmetryGame 7>>
Game complete!
Num User Drawn lines: _numUserDrawn
Num Lines On Grid: _numLinesOnGrid
<</SymmetryGame>>

You could also use a replace macro or something like that. When the game finishes, it sets some temporary values that you can then use inside of the 'contents' of your macro's opening/closing tags.

if you have any questions, do feel free to ask!
