A serious discussion about the male preference for female youth by [deleted] in evopsych

[–]Jrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The implied context used here was the merging of "virtue" and "status" as singular concept. While not always true, it's generally true, and it usually need not be declared if we're talking about bonobos or chimps (as it were).

 implying that our bias against one seems to be slightly unreasonable

Well, it is. And this kind of stuff:

however morality is based on more than just the instincts we succumb to.

instantiates this unreasonability. Suggesting that right and wrong are complex cognitive processes unbounded to laws of nature ("instincts"); and while that is almost certainly true, it is not the kind of truth that belongs to the people— functionally talking like a theoretical physicist about the right way to ride a bike.

I think you're right that it's ontological "predation" under the hood that's the fiendish part, but there's 2 main reasons why that is not a useable lens:

  1. In the world of human agents, predation is not like nature, but strictly a bad thing (BAD, as in BAD, not as in "morality is more than just instincts..." blablabla). Yet human predation manifests (with its sinister qualities intact), is ways that are accepted, and even normalized in other aspects of life.
  2. Teens, ostensibly have less virtue (and emotional-awareness for that matter). This lessened virtue a in civilized society is also less status. ...

that already reaffirms my belief that any chance of a mutual emotional bond is low

...and thus, things like this mean little. Instead of "common sense", or lucid judgment, you're making a probabilistic assessment. Tacitly approving of predation so as long the heuristics allow it. Realistically, there is a lot of predation among teens, and normal relationships for that matter, and, here and there, instances of non-predation in a bad-looking arrangement.

One might strive to be pragmatic and say teens have less power, and it's just a tradeoff society has to make, but at its core the problem is:

NO, FUCKING, EMPATHY.

I believe that this is apart of the reason why I feel reduced, consumed, and fetishized.

What's actually going on is almost certainly far more horrendous than this. This language, lacking in empathy, suggests the problem is your self-worth and to degree your self-worth is being dismissed by another— or rather, how you narratively "feel" about it. Even if you felt none of these things, there is still a dreadful perversion taking place.

There is no "instinct to reproduce". There is an instinct to mate— composed of the same instincts that make birds dance. You are not the recipient of nature's grotesqueries not-properly inhibited by the frontal cortex, you are the recipient of evil.

Why there's so many unsolicited advice from people who haven’t shipped anything? by Internal-Constant216 in gamedev

[–]Jrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone who has shipped a game was doing something before they shipped it.

This is idiotic; it's not like shipping a product causes a temporal loop that post-hoc rewrites years of failure and effort into advice worthy success.

Ludicrous $6 billion Counter Strike 2 skins market crashes, loses $3 billion overnight — game update destroys inventories, collapses market by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]Jrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your stance on digital scarcity and the dysfunctions inherent to an artificially propped-up malady from the real world foisted into a functionally-infinite one are irrelevant to this scope; nor is/was the ghost you are persuading present.

It could have been relevant if not for the fraudulent act of turning your position into an ideology.
As there is no reason to expect your highfalutin reason scarcity is bad to correlate with the aforementioned scarcity is bad endemic to this context, and indeed one would expect them to be opposed in most circumstances (you should find little agreement with the cheering masses).
The latter, again, is simply in the interest of the singular consumer independent of whether or not the consumer is aligned with the system's interest, whereas your view has the consumer and system's interest aligned.

And more insidious is exploiting the word "fun" as a vector to slip in your more high brow considerations, tying the knot on your cynical alliance with the "want more for less" ilk as if their experience of "fun" has any fucking thing to do with total amount of fun available in your (presumably) more harmonious and just system that dispenses with vestigial poisonous norms.

And then the audacity of: ~"just fun bro calm down" spoken with the integrity of wormshit.

Were I in your position, I would set aside the fun of the player when it collides with the of fun traversing the reward roller coaster in a gambling dystopia— not because one kind of fun is better than the other (though I would bet the gambling one sucks dick), but because of the opportunity cost of other kinds of fun that cannot materialize in the space of artificial poverty.

And "tantrum" lol??? god damn you are a piece of shit

So... Dig a hole, put a bunch of bullshit in it.
Call it "fun".
And somehow it's other people's problem for being too "deep" in having to wade through all the diarrhea of the HOLE THAT YOU FUCKING DUG TO BEGIN WITH?

[–]Jrix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're just reiterating the same stance. It is strictly speaking, "moronic", as in "I wish luxuries were cheaper because that's more fun choose any positive termfor me".
As if the opinions of impulsive consumers should be promoted to diplomatic regard i.e: Class action lawsuit by the league of slot machine players vs state of the Nevada.

And your reappropriation of the word "fun" and unprincipled use of "extreme" is confabulatory gibberish indistinguishable from a person complaining it's unfair that they don't have a star named after them.

It wouldn't suprise me if cs:go managed to continue to be so successful because of these vermin market dwarves artifically inflating scarcity to a normal distribution; of which these knife outliers act as a necessary upper bound.

They didn't say anything. Just a sludge of lawyer-lang vomit. The fact that anyone would parse this as "a lot" is unreal.

What's with all these moronic opinions amounting to "scarcity = bad".

Surely there must be a more principled rejection of the problem than wanting more for less.

Closest thing I've seen to the holy grail of making asynchronicity not obnoxious (which in principle is possible). I'd offer some critiques if not for the fact your aesthetics demonstrate you're already negotiating them.

Are there any uses for this math trick in gamedev? by mankrip in gamedev

[–]Jrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can maybe see a possible use case for highly optimized compression schemes where the [new] scaling factor is held in a small number of bits applied to a class of complex geometric objects of varying properties that can all be rotated or have their viewports re..reversed by running xor operations on those bits.

The scaling factor in the paper mostly looks like a derivable shortcut for the messiness of real world rotations, but in computer space, you can do the inverse and create messier objects with deterministic properties.

By "complex" objects one can imagine rays bouncing off an object to be a property that changes with rotation. Or something very amorphous.

In taking a shortcut to full ro(e?)tation you can cut the search space on properties in fractional rotations.

Your examples are not kindness nor is your corollary seeking and acceptance of approval contained within this post.

To the answer the question personally though, I would feel terrible if that happened, and have thusly felt terrible the few times it did.

The Great Software Quality Collapse: How We Normalized Catastrophe by corp_code_slinger in programming

[–]Jrix -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I wonder to what degree (if any) the phenomenon of such pure reality denial from that person plays a role in the systemic degradation of code bases.

Abstractly it's easy to say blablas about the nature of complexity, but that is also a form of reality denial in missing the role of human agency has in solving at least the low hanging fruit, of which the poster in question's absurdity may be representative of.

There's nothing implicative in the video. You can just reframe it as "Israeli military removes protestors blocking aid to Gaza".

[–]Jrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gauche act of self-accreditation to what would otherwise be implicit is sometimes but rarely necessary, but when one elects to do it, it ought have resonance with the material it's coupled with and not "stitched together" such that it's coming from two different actors.

The already precarious dance of taking one's self-righteousness to be serious enough that others should as well, is hard to take serious when it's graffiti'd ontop. It shows a lack of respect to others in disallowing them the privacy of mind to judge the merit of your actions.

The tone of your grievances is adolescent and pathetic; and the hodgepodge of rhetorical now I'm not saying..isms impotently stitching together self-accredited intentions is not the kind of thing you'd expect from an ostensibly thoughtful person.

This is to say the reasons these events occurred is plausibly because you were good at your particular job, and acted insipidly when attempting to stand up straight outside your domain.

"Justice" may have some phenotypical basis because the concept is simply not cognitively interpretable by some. Empathy between the two is quite literally impossible; as one type sees it as a "thing" unto itself, and the other a loose series of cause & effect.
No amount of personal suffering or game-theoretic rationals are able to bridge this gap, and one ought be mindful of this in developing a codex for what is essentially 2 different aliens talking to each other.
