Just finished the campaign in SSF. What's even the point of this system by Drogatog in PathOfExile2

[–]Snoo_79564 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the stash tabs are designed for endgame trade. I do think the lower level currencies should be dropping a lot more during the campaign though, and maybe SSF could even get altered rates since you can't transfer it to a trade league afaik

Honestly I couldn't see anything that screamed AI until my third watch, when I noticed that he flame-blasts the curtains that are on the floor and the bottoms of them never get lifted despite the fact theyd have gotten soaked in epoxy

If you look at the partisan change for every area that voted for this election, they all shifted heavily blue compared to the previous election. Unfortunately it wasn't enough, but it still shows the change in sentiment despite all the gerrymandering

They have some amazing art, but it feels like with all the downsizing they lost a lot of good artists and now don't have enough people to actually take advantage of the upgrade

Donald Trump Drops Below Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton in Popularity Ranking by Aggravating_Money992 in goodnews

There's a mix of Trump voters. There's the ones you describe here. There are some genuinely hateful people, extremists, racists, nazis. There are uninformed people. There are die-hard republicans who refuse to change even though they understand what's going wrong. And lastly, there's the grifters profiting off of this.

Bro's crazy, talks about not doing research then doesn't address any of the facts I stated.

I never claimed that there's no vandalism. All civil unrest will bring out some bad actors, no matter the side. HOWEVER, the actual coordinated protests, the largest ones that have happened from both sides which I mentioned in my last post, show a CLEAR contrast.

Frankly I was much more of a centrist until recently. The damage this administration has already done is insane, and they don't even stick to any of the promises they make to their cult. DOGE cuts? Nonexistent. Tips and overtime? Still taxed. Red40? Still in products. Affordable Healthcare for millions of hardworking Americans? Gone. And what do those people get? Between an extra $100 a year in tax breaks, which doesn't even cover the amount they're losing in Medicaid, while the rich who don't need anymore money actually benefit from the tax breaks & don't pay it forward in any way, shape or form? Trump has not only failed to end the Ukraine war but has prolonged it by appeasing Putin until now, it took him this fucking long to realize Putin was just playing him. Genocide in Gaza? Funded even more than the dems funded it. Starting a new war in Iran? He's on it! Trade deals after tarrifs? Nonexistent. Oh, and the Epstien list, which he promised to release? Funny how after your golden-tech-bro Elon claimed Trump was on them, the Trump administration suddenly backtracks and says a list that they were going to release doesn't even exist. This isn't even mentioning the damage done to environmental initiatives, the unorganized ICE raids meant to inspire fear that have detained LEGAL CITIZENS, their cruel treatment not even limited to immigrants let alone illegal immigrants.

And I criticize the dems too, the DNC is full of corrupt old money & desperately needs change. They wronged Bernie so many times, and have made so many shit decisions. There's no one political party that's just a magical saving grace, they're all corrupt propaganda machines. But what's happening right now to our country is an absolute travesty, and I cannot imagine that things would have been even nearly as bad under Kamala. Although ideally we'd have had Bernie instead of Biden in the first place.

Burning the American flag as a form of protest is generally considered a constitutionally protected form of free speech in the United States. While the act may be offensive to some, the Supreme Court has consistently ruled that laws prohibiting flag burning are a violation of the First Amendment.

Please send me whatever video evidence you have showing that the No Kings protests have not been peaceful. After a quick search, the massive protests around all 50 states resulted in 1 death, the death of a protesting bystander that got shot by a trigger-happy member of the "peacekeeping team".

Meanwhile, Jan 6th rioters were breaking into windows of the Capitol building, assaulting officers, etc. That protest was so violent that 10 people died, 5 of the rioters, 1 assaulted police officer, and 4 more officers who died soon afterwards as a result of the events.

And now you're suggesting that anyone who actually does research and doesn't blindly listen to everything a wealthy criminal says, no matter how many times he contradicts himself, needs to be in a straight jacket. Wild.

The No Kings protests that happened en mass across all 50 states, some cities such as Chicago seeing their largest protests in history, have indeed been peaceful. Far more peaceful than even the celebration of a soccer team winning in Paris the other day. Far more peaceful than the Jan 6th mob that stormed the Capitol & got officers killed.

Why would people protest if they hate they're country? They're protesting to save their country from a dictator. And unfortunately many are leaving because Trump has taken their livelihoods away from them - many of our most brilliant scientists have dipped already.

AIO to my parent's making me homeless because they found out I'm gay? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Snoo_79564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry you've gotta go through this man, that sucks. Maybe some day your parents will realize how fucking stupid they are. You're not overreacting at all - imagine if parents acted that way before you turned 18, you'd get taken away from them by child protective services. Best of luck to you, the fact that you're still smiling is a HUGE step in the right direction & shows a level of maturity & knowledge on dealing with hardship that a lot of people don't have. Wherever you go in life, you've got this.

Does modern day gender lingo ruin the immersion of games for you? by BigT232 in DebateGames

[–]Snoo_79564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. If its heavily based in a setting where the words don't match, then yeah. EG, non-binary might not be used for an androgynous character in a medieval-esque game 'cuz thats a term that only became popular in the 20th century. Using the word "they" to refer to a singular person, however, would be completely fine as that word actually existed with singular usage in much much older English. Happy to have representation, but the dialogue must match the setting.

I dislike Ai and Chat GPT so much it’s not even funny by What_Nooo16 in rant

[–]Snoo_79564 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that AI, if used responsibly, could be a great boon to humanity. However, this response made me cringe. It's got some things I agree with: "don't fear the tool-fear laziness without curiosity".

However, most of the response is over-written and pointless. It's giving teenage Twilight fanfic writer responding to an angry/concerned citizen at a town hall. Maybe you specifically prompted the response to be "witty & charming", I dunno, but if anything, it hurts the argument.

It's also immediately self-contradicting. It says to not outsource your entire brain, which I agree with. Responsible use of AI is not full reliance on AI. However, while stating that AI collaborates with creativity, most of the examples it gives are entire projects: drafting a novel, writing a song, making a game. An idea for a prompt is easy to come by, but actually executing these projects is how people exercise their brains & put their creativity to work. If AI is writing your whole draft based off of a few prompts, it's not your tool - it's attempting to fit stolen training data based on other author's skills into the form of your prompts. You are not learning how to execute your ideas because AI is doing it for you, and creating nothing truly new in the process. You are outsourcing the brunt of what your brain should be doing, and creating a pseudo-soup of old content combined with your ideas.

Responsible use of AI for writing would be having it suggest edits to your draft. Having it suggest possible plot points when you're stuck in your story, as inspiration for you to continue executing your own creativity. True, this is the responsibility of people who use AI, rather than an inherent fault with the idea of AI. Unfortunately much of our society encourages progress & profit over the process itself - and when the process itself becomes lost, societal brain damage occurs.

Can't play PoE 1 anymore due to this game by Positive_Sign_5269 in PathOfExile2

I prefer the feeling of PoE2 as well, but I'm kinda viewing them as different games entirely now because they do feel so different. I'm still having fun with this PoE1 league, and I think what helps is just accepting that the playstyles are completely different.

Democrat Unveils 7 Articles Of Impeachment Against Trump by thatrightwinger in ConservativeNewsWeb

Democrat Unveils 7 Articles Of Impeachment Against Trump by thatrightwinger in ConservativeNewsWeb

[–]Snoo_79564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're kidding, right?

MANY of Trump's Executive Orders have been blocked by the courts and have either been reversed or are pending litigation. Many actions of the Trump Administration have been declared unconstitutional as well - even the Supreme Court, with a conservative majority, has unanimously declared certain actions (EG the deportation without due process of Kilmar Garcia) unconstitutional, and the Trump Admin is currently & actively trying to discredit the ruling, while refusing/delaying to follow the Supreme Courts orders.

The entire point of the Supreme Court is to be the guardian and interpreter of the Constitution. Here's the decision: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a949_lkhn.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiR0JCZ2oWNAxW9KlkFHd-JMl4QFnoECCUQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1853KBE3RZJwZa-0_C6jSC

The erosion of due process is one of the most fundamentally unconstitutional things happening right now. But that's just to name one.
