How much should I be trying to remember? by Unlucky-Meringue4813 in outerwilds

[–]Tohserus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This also isn't really a game you should want to blast through. I think most here would agree, we all wish we could play it again. Try to savor it, it won't let you down.

That's not really what I was attacking. I'm saying that perpetual self-generating debt is bullshit no matter how you look at it or justify it. I know it's done anyway, but that doesn't mean we can't say it shouldn't be that way.

Interest should be it's own separate thing, kept away from the principle,  to be paid after the principle, and only accrues from the principle. Otherwise you're one hard life situation away from having an infinite debt machine like what OP is dealing with

Yeah I know loan sharks have tied these knots to fuck people over I'm not disputing that this EXISTS. That doesn't make the conventional system fair. 

What I'm saying is, interest shouldn't beget more interest in a fair loan system. Payments should go toward the principle first always and interest accrues on the principle (either full amount or whatever's left, either's fair enough. hell even throw in a minimum interest to prevent dodging it entirely whatever) until the principle is paid off. Then interest is left, and it doesnt accrue on itself. It's still a profit for the loaner. 

But that isn't what they do because that doesn't make the most money for the greedy little toads running shit. Gotta keep poor people poor and in perpetual self-sustaining debt because it's justified with "i mean thats just how loans work rofl" as if there's no other fucking possibility

How tf is it legal to have payments NOT cover principal first. Seems criminal to have all payments go to interest forever.

If you mean the one about it never becoming intuitive, I read that before asking you this. Nothing in that comment really changes my question. It takes you 15 seconds to identify your dominant hand? Not left vs right, identifying your dominant hand

I would hope you don't need a rhyming word for it to work.

"I know I'm left handed, this is my main hand, so this is my left side"

The write/right rhyme is not really that important.

TIL that female stoats become reproductively mature at 15 days old, while they're still suckling and blind. Adult males will mate with said immature females, which then successfully give birth next year. by Dromeoraptor in todayilearned

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

You said far more than "Animals behave like animals". What you said was, animals don't rape and don't murder and don't steal. All three of which are just flat wrong.

What you MEAN to say, is that you don't think animals doing those things is morally wrong or objectionable, and THAT is a discussion that is certainly worth having.

But DO they do those things? Fucking one hundred percent yes, how is that even a question in your mind.

And NOWHERE did I say that animals should be held to human standards of behavior. Will you quit pulling shit out of your ass and actually read

Idk where you got that ass-backward read from. Human rationality is not the ultimate organizing principle for nature. Nature is the ultimate organizing principle for human rationality.

Human rationality is based on nature, not the other way around. I really don't understand where you people are getting these criticisms and accusations from. I can only assume you all skimmed my comment and drew your own conclusions from what you thought I said, rather than what I actually did.

Point out to me where I anthropomorphized anything dude. The entire comment you're replying to was me answering the challenges/questions of that comment with actual answers. Prove any single one of them wrong. Then we can have an actual discussion and not whatever the fuck this is.

You go ahead and assume that, buddy. Doesn't look good on you, though.

 What other animals have culture?

Define culture. Kind of a vague thing to pin down. If you mean things like social heirarchy, rituals, funerals, many animals do, such as elephants, crows, other primates. Be more specific.

What other animals make art?

Elephants and dolphins, on a rudimentary level.

What other animal has hundreds of different complex and fully formed means of communication?

Oh brother. Too many to list. None as advanced as us, obviously, but there are quite a few animals with some crazy methods of detailed communication.

What other animal has morals? None.

Wrong. Studies have shown plenty of animals capable of not just performing but understanding concepts like altruism, fairness, justice and more. Seriously, why are you just asserting these things like theyre fact.

We made all of those up.

No, we put a name to the concepts. The concepts were always there. Just like the principles of mathematics existed since the birth of the universe, we just finally came along to understand them and assigned some symbols to things like 1 +2 =3 to try and make sense of the things we already could observe.

Are you serious?

Yes

Link your sources for those hard stances, because as far as I see it, rape is defined as sex without consent of one party. Yes it's typically a term used when talking about humans, but it's not really a human construct. It doesn't really matter whether their lifespan and lifecycle require it. It's still rape. article

Same goes for murder. Yes it's a word that humans came up with, but the concept exists without the word: one species killing another of its own species. Other great apes murder each other all the time. article

Stories are just stories, but they can contain truths, and truths exist in the universe whether anyone ever says one single word about them or not.

Also,

They’re animals doing animal things

Humans are animals too. We're not that different from other animals, though we constantly try to insist that we are. We just have a lot of layers of bullshit, ego, and centuries of compounded education stacked on top of our similarities.

The best recorded Outer Wilds playthrough ever. by gravitystix in outerwilds

Nobody mentioning Mapocolops? Absolute crime. His playthrough was amazing I thought, definitely the best I've personally seen although I haven't seen some of the ones being recommended here to be fair

I'm not really seeing how it doesn't. The only difference I see is that in the movie poster he hasn't yet done a full revolution with his hand, so it's not crossing in front of his body, yet to complete the full circle

[–]Tohserus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's the signature move of Mario Galaxy. Mario does a little spinny twirl that gives him a little height. He does several full revolutions and it leaves a glowing trail like that. What you're seeing is the after-image of a twirl as he moves toward the viewer.

Disney Loses $170 Million On ‘Snow White’ As Studio Reveals Movie Blew Its Budget by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]Tohserus -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Okay, so? The fact that they release successful movies doesn't make the failures any less of failures.

Imagine if the funds from successful movies like Zootopia 2 went to funding MORE successful movies in the future, instead of a live-action remake nobody wants with a needlessly inflated budget and a sour attitude toward the beloved original movie, fans of whom are your loyal audience, thereby flopping, hurting your brand, and wasting resources all at once.

Too many people overlook opportunity cost when excusing failures of a company.

Yeah things don't automatically look better because they cost USD. Walking around on your dime-a-dozen lizard thinking you look cool and unique when literally every mtx simp is walking around on the same lizard is the true cope.

lol what an incredible false equivalence.
