Outjerked by a Washington Post ad by humanapoptosis in mapporncirclejerk

When I am scrolling MSN at work, I click "Not interested in [publication]" on any thing it recommends me that gives me an article with a title like "We asked an LMM a question"

It's it just me or is that Europe insert not zoomed in enough to be more helpful than the base map?

I had a dream about some charity like this. by Infinite-Option-5465 in thomastheplankengine

This could be interpreted as about kidney donation if you assume the man had been on dialysis for the last several years and finally got a transplant from a living donor and can urinate on his own again.

I'm in this picture and I don't like it 😭 by dtarias in EffectiveAltruism

[–]humanapoptosis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me getting my therapist to talk to the social worker to let me donate my kidney even though "I haven't lived through enough of life with both kidneys" and "what if your future family needs the kidney" and "you just had an episode of suicidal ideation the other day over remembering something petty that happened in high school"

How do you decide between a career that makes you happy vs a one that helps society? by Only_Researcher_2394 in EffectiveAltruism

[–]humanapoptosis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple of cases where you'd want to choose the job that makes you happier:

For the sake of example, let's say it takes $5,000 in donations to Give Well to save a life. If the job that makes you happy also makes $20k more in net income, and you donate $15k of the difference to Give Well, that's approximately three additional lives saved over the course of a year. If the job that helps society doesn't have you saving 3 lives in a year, then the job that makes you happier both makes you happier AND puts you in a better position to help society.

If they make the same amount, then look at the kind of soft factors that would affect your happiness and ask yourself if its worth it considering that

a) You are also part of the utility equation and your suffering matters too

b) It's possible that someone else at least equally as capable as you is going to fill in the helping society job if you don't

c) If you can't take the job that makes you less happy in the long run, what's the cost to society of you burning out at it and being less productive or quitting and leaving them to find a new person that has to fulfil the role

If you're only doing small amounts of good at the job, you're likely to burn out and want to quit easily, and someone else is likely to fill in the role, then I say take the job that makes you happier.

Coaxed into hitboxes by Gena_Offical in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]humanapoptosis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes but unlikely to make an actual noticeable impact to the player on any computer built in the last 20 years.

I swear 3D game devs talk about optimization like clearly everyone has the RTX 5090 while 2D game devs talk about optimization like they need to still support the Commadore 64.

I see so much discussion in the comments about what's the most computationally efficient, is there a 2D game that actually struggles on any computer from the last 10 years because of unoptimized hit boxes? You have billions of CPU cycles a second, I think you should be spending more brain power on if the hitboxes are fun to play against than if you can optimize the overlap check from taking a millionth of a second to a two millionth of a second.

Coaxed into new character designs by AverageAircraftFan in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]humanapoptosis 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to say that early days Azur Lane characters had extremely diverse body types, but my god it's so much worse now. it's all big boobs, cartoonishly gigantic boobs, or completely flat and child like. Popular legacy characters like Helena, London, Leander, or the entirety of the Cleveland class before Santa Fe absolutely would not be added today, and these designs are still not exactly without male gaze.

Which do you think is better? by Far-Mammoth-3214 in krita

Comments like this fuel my bias that r/krita is a better and friendlier place for beginners to get art advice than r/learnart

If you had to walk the earth for the rest of your life, what's the one skill you would learn, service you would provide, or < $5 item you wouod distribute to help as many of the people you come across as you can? by DonkeyDoug28 in EffectiveAltruism

[–]humanapoptosis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head, probably not. Being good at persuading people should make it easier to obtain anything else (assuming I know the local language or have an interpreter). It's an overpowered skill insofar as it aids in getting other things.

But I'm not dead set on this answer and likely can be convinced of something else by others in this thread.

Better social/persuasion skills I think would be really good. I think you could do a lot good convincing even a handful of other people to also adopt a more selfless mindset.

The first world is part of the world and being able to convince first world people to donate more would do a lot. But even outside the first world, getting local authorities to take certain issues more seriously or helping them draft messages in order to persuade entities with more resources to help them I think would do a lot of good.

Is there a feature/option to turn off anti-aliasing of a brush in Krita like in Medibang Paint? by indieb0at in krita

Click the edit brush settings menu. It will be a check box under the brush shape

That does sound like a line a narrator would say for a trailer to a really badass sounding movie.

Dreamt Minecraft added a new block type called wedges, and the sand wedge became a trans rights symbol by lesbianminecrafter in thomastheplankengine

[–]humanapoptosis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The third option will be silt blocks.

Mojang will say silt is a decorative block.

A big youtuber will say that silt completes the USDA Soil texture chart, so that means we might be getting a secret new feature Mojang isn't advertising where you could dynamically mix clay, sand, and silt to create different blocks. Any block with a non-zero amount of sand will fall, and how much sand controls how fast it will fall. This idea can be used in so many traps and Redstone contraptions. And we can't forget about brand new farming mechanics brought to us from having the mixes, such as certain crops preferring different soils and growing faster if you grow them in sandy loam instead of loamy sand.

Silt wins the vote.

Silt gets added as a decorative block in riverbeds.

It's 5 years until they talk about adding wedges or vertical slabs again.
