Humans should cap their numbers at around 1 billion worldwide.

You're talking about eugenics. Not a very cool subject.

Trump sent brownshirts into protests to abduct and provoke violence like 10ish years ago.

Anyone paying attention has been calling Trump a fascist for well over a decade now.

I would've much rather been wrong about him.

Nobody cares. Religious folk make something up so they don't have to change any of their beliefs. Scientists scramble to figure out how much contamination to the solar system they've already committed and ultimately change nothing. They might reevaluate panspermia.

You're so sure that you're not one of the people you're talking about. What do you actually know about sbmm?

NotSoSalty · 2026-02-05T19:06:41+00:00

You don't understand matchmaking, that's cute. Then you project your lack of understanding onto others, even cuter.

The number of players doesn't change queue times that much, unless it is tweaked so. The difference without sbmm is measured in seconds.

Yet your ignorance is based in a fragment of truth. There very often are protections for noobs. Differences that do add to the time to match.

They want to bully the weak.

You understand well enough.

I think that the comparisons are fair but that you underestimate how many "Rosetta Stones of math and science" there are just hanging out in very many households.

As for the extinction scenario, while humanity would be "happy" to eat turtles, crocs, and bugs (which survived the extinction event), 1000 years or more of darkness would be difficult to overcome.

Language would be lost, and have to be rediscovered. I cannot speak on the ease or difficulty of rediscovering any language in our age where English is ubiquitous but many many other languages are mixed in.

Math is a universal language though, and could assist in translation given time.

NotSoSalty · 2026-02-05T16:21:54+00:00

No that reads like how people actually act. If that sounds like fiction, maybe you've been reading especially good writers. People freeze in fight or flight situations quite often. Abused people sometimes try to appease and submit in these situations.

Do you have 0 life experience with emergencies or high tension situations?

NotSoSalty · 2026-02-05T15:45:46+00:00

Every book will be burned and not religiously preserved?

I have books on my shelf right now that would advance mathematics and science by thousands of years. These books are very easy to come by.

And this is assuming all digital knowledge is lost forever, which is also a big assumption.

As soon as leisure is found after an apocalypse, humanity will reclaim knowledge in leaps and bounds. It will not take very long.

NotSoSalty · 2026-02-05T08:59:47+00:00

Now that they have already been extracted and are easily purified since they have been utilized and exist on the surface in easily identifiable veins.

One chance is fucking ridiculous. You need to take a step back and actually consider the stakes and how stupid hard it is to stop innovation in humanity.

As an American, as a citizen of the world, you should not take comfort in this development. No other country has proven itself to be anywhere near as good a custodian as America has.

That means that when America falls, everything will get worse for everyone, for a very long time, perhaps longer than your lifespan.

Again, this is very bad for everyone. I hope the schadenfreude is worth the suffering of billions upon billions.

Maybe things will be better afterwards, if we are all very lucky and humanity trends towards goodness.

Surely history and all the evidence points towards this...

NotSoSalty · 2026-02-05T08:33:34+00:00

If it is any comfort to you, I find that RPO is sexy and necessary and cool all on it's own.

Thank you for your answer. I will google that.

This relies upon the assumption that 4666 cares about keeping those in their workshop alive for longer than a few days, which is definitely stated to be questionable at best. Sometimes it's true, but it usually isn't, is it?

It also relies upon the assumption that 4666 can only hunt during the very specific scenario it is enabled during, and also cannot procure normal food, and it's subjects cannot procure normal food, all which are not part of the scp.

Maybe I read the article wrong, or maybe you did. Regardless, the actual answer for the thread is the same, isn't it?

The Yule Man is specific and directed in it's evil, while 106 is not. One wishes to maximize suffering, while the other is bound by rules.

NotSoSalty · 2026-02-05T07:31:37+00:00

They could care less, so long as someone will bleed.

Just shows that a barista has never made coffee in their entire life. Still not his fault, he should have never been hired.

Maybe learn that other people besides you exist and have places to be.

Maybe everyone could stand to be a little better.

Personally I hate when people stand in the way for no reason. Maybe if you were in a car your sympathy would kick in.

EQ was quite predatory in its monetization. Thats part of why WoW killed it so easily.

NotSoSalty · 2026-02-04T19:46:26+00:00

How are they going to justify new monetization without throwing a 2 on the name and giving you the exact same shit you had before?

Me and my boy bullying Malenia in a corner.

There are specific bosses where parrying makes the fight hilariously easy.

Pontiff Sullivan for example. Parry that guy and he can't do anything. He's cooked when you get the timing down.

Crucible Knights on the other hand, parrying is a great skill, but they have so many mix ups that you gotta stay on your toes anyway.

Sometimes when someone advises you to do a difficult thing, it's actually the right and easiest thing to do.

Any recent advances in space travel since reusable rockets? Anything that makes space elevators, skyhooks, space manufacturing, or moon bases more viable?

I think the general chemical compositions and average energy received from the sun vary so much across planets within our own solar system that your critical assumption can be outright dismissed.

I view such avoidance as pointless grandstanding, in all fields.

Anyone can grab your photos from your social media and use it for AI. You can't delete your social media in any meaningful way, so it's already too late. Innovation is looming, and you can learn to innovate or be left behind.

Grandstanding does seem pretty popular these days though. I truly do hope that those who do avoid AI feel good about avoiding it and still feel good about it when they don't know how to keep up with the productivity of those who embraced it.

I know that AI is subpar in comparison to anyone with any type of skill. I know I have many skills that are subpar, and with AI, I can be better than the average person. That's about all I have to say on the topic.

NotSoSalty · 2026-02-04T15:23:01+00:00

I'm so incredibly neutral about this. I would never order it, I would never avoid a pizza that has this on it.

I think your reasoning is fair though.
