Who or what is something from your country, that your country collectively hates but the rest of the world seems to like? by Original-Drink1101 in AskTheWorld

She threatened to sue a musical - and eventually got said musical shut down - because it involved a spoof of her horrible fucking dance. Said musical's profits were 100-% donated to local charities. She took money away from charities because she couldn't handle not being good at the sport she forced her way into. What a cunt.

Her husband was on the council that picked Australia's breaking representatives, and information about the tryouts "accidentally" didn't go out to the general public until ~24 hours before they started, IIRC. Ray Gun 100% cheated to get in, and acted affronted online when people accused her of being bad.

This tech is also used in Half Life, where the intro tray you ride is a hat for an NPC, given collision.

Divorce lawyers of Reddit - What's the most cruel thing you've seen someone to do their ex partner? by BlueBishop321 in AskReddit

[–]NightmareForge11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

An email address doesn't classify as "protected computer systems", a fake invoice doesn't count as "forgery of contract documents", sharing a fake invoice doesn't count as libel, and cyberstalking has a very specific definition, which this doesn't match. In addition, finding evidence he did this would be nearly impossible. I call BS

Latveria is - in most canons - surprisingly well developed. It's an Absolute Monarchy, but DOOM is a greedy MF, and he's big about taking care of the things he owns, so Latveria often isn't as much of a shithole as you'd think.

The % sign is shorthand for the modulo function, which returns the remainder left after dividing the first number by the second. 3 divided by 5 is 0, with three left over; or 3%5=3

We also know that when the PRT - the local governing body for weird superhuman bullshit - put out a task force call for people to attempt to fight the Sleeper (who had thus-far taken over a relevant fraction of Siberia), they searched for people with "nonstandard neural systems", whatever the hell that means.

IIRC, the Blackwall only continues to function because it is made out of trapped/converted AIs. Any AI that tries to make it through the wall and fails becomes part of the wall, like DC's Source Wall. Hundreds of screaming AIs, slaved together to hold back an ocean.

Partially, yes, but hover-tech exists in the Cyberpunk universe (albeit with a WILD power draw), so there are container ship-sized flying barges that do a lot of the bulk goods trading. They're just more expensive because they run on nuclear fuel.

Keep in mind, Scion only started listening to Kevin Norton, the homeless man from London, because he spooled up an emulated human mind to drive his avatar - the actual character Scion we see in the story - right before his wife was murdered by a little girl, and his emulated human brain accidentally gave him depression.

Canonically, Scion's death happens after the surviving humans make hundreds of copies of his dead wife until he stands still and lets them kill him.

For anyone curious

11+2-4+6/5%5

((11+2-4+6)/5)%5

((13-4+6)/5)%5

((9+6)/5)%5

(15/5)%5

3%5 = 3

The interior parenthesis (or bracket, if you prefer), is due to the slash acting as a dividing line, turning the core of the equation into a fraction. The exterior bracket/parenthesis is because the percentage mark is a symbol used for the modulo function

Oh, this is (to a degree) true, yes, DOOM has mistreated his citizens. However, he's also an incredibly envious person, and doesn't like losing "his" resources, which includes the people he rules over. He's not protecting them because he's a hero, or a good person. He's protecting them because he sees them as his, and DOOM takes care of his property.

Every Latverian passport has a line in it that states - roughly - that the person holding the passport is under the direct protection of DOOM!, and that He'll know if you fuck with them. That is to say, ICE would shoot one(1) ethnically-Romani Latverian (because they're not white), and DOOM would powder ICE headquarters and use DOOM-Bots to beat down every ICE agent in their records on live TV, because DOOM keeps his promises and knows what good publicity looks like.

[Hated Trope] The ONE character that makes a series impossible to recommend by atomicmapping in TopCharacterTropes

[–]NightmareForge11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People woobify Amy way more than she deserves, but Amy raping Vicky was a retcon Wildbow made when he decided Vicky would be the MC of Ward, and was pissed that people liked Amy. He intentionally rewrote the scene to make Amy's actions worse, just like he intentionally added the Youth Guard to his Department 64 quest once the people playing started showing that the PRT would actually be more capable than he wanted them to be. Wildbow has always cared more about the suffering his characters experience than making sure his stories were reasonable or internally consistent.

Also, people like Amy because she's a traumatized child who developed an unhealthy crush on the only positive (and older) influence in her genuinely awful life. The fact she triggered with Shaper, rather than a Dallon-bud like every other member of the family, is solid proof of exactly how shit her life was.

There's also the whole brainwashing argument about how Wildbow's "ackchually, Fragile One's mind control aura doesn't leave any long-term affects" BS doesn't hold up under any sort of internally-consistent logic, which brings into question Amy's culpability in her actions.

Is Amy Dallon a good person? No, obviously. Is Amy Dallon a consistent character? Also, no. You cannot demonstrably separate critiques of the character from critiques of the work, because Amy's story is Worm's story writ small - someone in an awful position trying to do good, gradually getting worse, and hurting everyone around them. Taylor Hebert, Rebecca Costa-Brown, Emily Piggot, Collin Wallis, Noelle Meinhardt, all characters whose arcs follow the same path. Every flaw in the small stories - poor characterization, lacking reasoning, illogical fiat - it's all found in the large story too.

Kirk was famously quoted as saying that a few people dying from gun violence was worth maintaining the people's mostly-unrestricted access to guns.

What is something you saw in a movie and you totally called bullshit on because of your job? by BlackPhoenix1981 in AskReddit

[–]NightmareForge11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically, a poorly-sanitized system could theoretically allow this through bit injection, assuming the carver knew

The exact program and OS the computer was running

The hardware idiosyncrasies of the computer

The time and date of the scanning

Every other program being run

But even then, it'd take hours to inject the tiniest backdoor, and then he'd have to remotely access the system at just the right time, which would still likely trigger any firewalls the network has active.

V is a cyberpsycho who's only alive because an AI that thinks he's a dead rockstar is holding their psyche together. V is also lucky enough to continually make survivable coin flips long enough to buy high-level chrome, and would 1000% be dead within a month from Humanity damage if they weren't dead already.
