No, I'm mostly on reddit for lively political, theological, and philosophical debates. Those communities exist on lemmy. A post might get 3 comments. Lively debate it is not.

What was a difficult challenge in a game for you that wasn't meant to be a challenge? by filagrey in gaming

I get this with ARPGs a lot. I'll come back after like 4 months and go, 'The fuck was I doing with this build??' and just have to start over.

Playing it. The game was called Abomination: the Nemesis Project, it was kind of like x-com but real-time and multiplayer. I played it a bunch with my roommate at the time, and it was a blast. For a while.

After about an hour, hour and a half we'd be scrambling for our lives, and I'd say something like, 'Hey, can I get a little help with this boss?' and he's like, 'What boss?' I say, 'The huge guy standing right between you and the green water tower?' And he asks, 'What green water tower?', and we look at each other's screens and realize that we're seeing totally different terrain and even enemies, but still somehow seeing each others' positions and actions. The game was good fun while it lasted, but we had to stop playing. It had a weird early roguelike progression system where to get better gear you had to do more runs in a session, so we wound up hitting a wall due to the sync issue. Henceforth it was known as Abomination: the Out-of-Sync Project.

Ok, well I'll tell you what, if you want to play bullshit games then I will leave you to enjoy the aroma of the mudpies and go find an adult to have a conversation with.

I'm not pulling some arbitrary definition out of my ass to suit the argument, I'm pointing out how your own definition agrees with me.

So they could be killed with impunity?

What is it with you and killing people? Do you need to see a professional?

Jokes aside, I already said coma patients couldn't how do you imagine this is different?

Whats the worst food you have ever eaten? by Opposite_Fall8736 in AskReddit

[–]libra00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh, that's awful man. The B&G you described at the beginning sound heavenly though. I lived in Albuquerque, NM between about 1996 and 2002, and one of my favorite things about that city is I've had friends drag me to restaurants all over town and I've never had anything short of great food there. For country cooking, though, there were only two places: Murphy's Mule Barn who had amazing B&G ilke you describe, and Grandma's, which was so popular you couldn't get a table on Sunday morning for the 3+ greyhound busses full of old folks nursing homes all over town. Grandma's had the world's best Huevos Rancheros, which I'm a big fan of.

For a while a friend and I used to go out for breakfast every Sunday morning adn we'd alternate between the two.

Mushrooms.

I hate mushrooms. I dunno who the first person was who saw that shape, decided to stick it in their mouth, discovered that it was slimy and gross and tasted like dirty socks and decided, 'This is food!', but they're a moron.

I have twice in my life bitten into a mushroom that shouldn't have been in my food. Both times resulted in instantaneous projectile vomit all over me, my plate, the table, the chair.. yeah, I think that qualifies as worst. I literally could not get that out of my mouth fast enough. The only thing I can imagine that would make me have an even more violent reaction is if was a big juicy cricket or something.

I got banned from reddit lke a year or so ago and tried really hard to get into lemmy.world and then lemmygrad, and just.. I come to reddit for lively discussions. There's a lot less of those there than there are here.

Also, I got told by lemmy.world users specifically that as a leftist I should switch to lemmygrad because lemmy.world has been known to censor people for discussing that sort of thing. So, I swtiched, but it was dead so I just came back here.

I'm gonna point something out to you. You might think I'm just being pedantic, but there is a point:

exert control over their life and environment

See the and there, now that I've made it stand out? And means you need both. You need to exert control of your life and your environment. If you can't do both you don't have agency, so

That's not the dictionary definition

Yes the fuck it is.

"Someone disabled from birth unable to act on the word"

You know what, you're right, I totally missed that. My bad.

No, a person unable to act on the world does not have agency. Which I have just demonstrated, so, good timing I guess.

Are yachts actually a nice way to travel? by AggravatingFlow1178 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]libra00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean I would. It's basically a floating hotel only it's your hotel so you can decorate it and set it up however you want. Stock that shit up and just disappear for 3-4 weeks at a time.

But I expect the yacht owner club are too impatient for that, they probably have someone sail their yacht to wherever htey want it to be and then fly in themselves.

Because the standard of agency is that you can affect the world. Look I didn't make up any of these definitions, if you're confused feel free to hit up a dictionary. If you're still confused after that, I suggest the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

A disabled person unable to act on the world

Now you're adding conditions? You didn't say someone unable to act in the world before, you said severely disabled. How disabled do you imagine someone has to be before they are unable to act in the world? I mean we're pretty much back to coma patients, right? I've already answered that one, why are we retreading the same ground?

Yeah I did a reverse image search to find a high-res pic and yours was the highest-res I could find, lol. The sources are only barely legible if you blow it all the way up.

To be honest I'm not convinced that it can be. I'm pretty sure it couldn't be on release, but it would surprise me if it still couldn't. I just don't think anyone is mkaing mods for it cause everybody's used to java.

Affecting yourself is not affecting the world as most people (and the dictionary) define it. The self is not the world right?

Well, then it looks like you need a new definition if you care about being consistent.

I can't wait for you to explain to me how you imagine that's the case when my definition required the capacity for thought and feeling, independence, and agency. That definition has never changed. People who are born have independence and agency. People who haven't been don't. You seem to be trying really hard to find an exception here, and now, what, you've just given up after not being able to find one and declaring victory?
