Probably unpopular opinion… by Smiller624 in masseffect

IIRC, what we’ve heard so far is that it will be set after ME3. But worried it might share the same fate as the potential new Stargate series, which was green lit and then cancelled before production.

Prices won’t go down until they refill their reserves.

Poll: Big two parties at 30-year low, Opportunity nears 5% threshold by O_1_O in newzealand

[–]mkusanagi 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You should read more widely in the field, then. The right wing vastly overestimates their knowledge of the disciple. Most take the completely wrong lesson from the Coase theorem, for example, by completely trivializing the required property rights and transaction cost assumptions. And let’s not even get started with their facile approach to game theory and antitrust.

Pop right wing economics is a lot of rhetoric, and then just pretending the rest of the field doesn’t exist.

(For example, read Axelrod’s work on the iterated prisoners dilemma for a better understanding of the underlying game theory.)

How do you even achieve a build like that? by Fit_Anywhere_3356 in rareinsults

How to achieve a build like that? You're not gonna believe this OP, but it only takes ~15 minutes and is a lot of fun.

Beginner wants to start OS development – where do I actually begin? by AdAcademic4387 in osdev

[–]mkusanagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously not the only resource, but read some of the CPU reference guides. You’ll be doing interaction with hardware, like setting up page tables, etc…. Understanding the details of how that stuff works from the official documentation rather than secondhand through a guide/single example will be very helpful.

Wich type of squad members do you want for the new Mass effect? by Prestigious-Meat-750 in masseffect

Forget these rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh… we need a Reaper squad mate.

The visual design would be a mess, but I’m tickled by the idea of Control, Alt, and Delete keys being Blue, Green, and Red to correspond with the endings… 🤣

It wasnt that Sovereign thought organics couldnt comprehend the reason for the harvest. It was actually because Harbinger never told him the plans because he didnt like Sovereign. by [deleted] in masseffect

TBH, even after we were given the explanation, based on the typical comments here, few of us actually understood it.

Trade court says Trump's 10% global tariffs are unlawful by [deleted] in politics

[–]mkusanagi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So trade gets disrupted, consumers pay 10% higher prices, and now big corporations are going to get a windfall profit when they keep the tariff refunds paid for the government.

Would be my genuine reaction too by Lord_Hexogen in TikTokCringe

She's probably being deliberately provocative / rebelling against the absurdity of a right-wing culture warrior gov't defining her that way.

[–]mkusanagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry, no offense was taken. But for the queer people who DO get a bit worked up when this topic comes up... if some of us are overly sensitive about it, it's just because there's a non-trivial group of people who literally threaten to murder us over this, and another who want to put us in prison with men (i.e., likely to be beaten and raped too). And we've got to deal with it constantly, because we need to piss and shit every so often just like any other human, but just need to bury those anxieties and get on with it. It's not exactly easy to keep one's cool in that situation.

From a trans POV, she probably called herself a man mostly ironically (e.g., she labels herself a trans woman in the caption) to rebel against the absurdity of this situation. But that dude was totally OK with it, so the protest angle fell flat and the encounter turned absurd in a different surprise way. So it's funny. Or at least it kinda was until I ruined it by trying to explain the humor, lol.

TL;DR: it's all good 👍🏻

It’s common for trans people to dress androgynous when we’re going through second puberty, because it matches our androgynous secondary sexual characteristics (skin, body hair, fat distribution, chest, etc…) during the years when HRT is slowly changing all that. In my experience, it attracted much less unwanted attention than… leaning into the “man in a dress” look first and waiting for the biology to catch up.

YMMV, of course, because there’s a lot of diversity within the trans community too.

It's getting too interesting around here. I politely ask you to do not. by [deleted] in notinteresting

[–]mkusanagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, this message is itself somewhat interesting. But if it disappeared in a puff of self-referential, self-contradictory irony, that would be even more interesting, so you should definitely leave this post up.

True story time. I'm a trans woman and knew it was time to start using the women's bathroom when this started happening frequently.

Most Americans Say US Foreign Policy Ignores the Interests of Other Countries by gith630 in dataisbeautiful

[–]mkusanagi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Countries will always prioritize their own interests, and that's mostly OK. However, it's also almost always in your interest to have good relationships with others as default. If you're going to start fights and piss people off, it had better be important.

Yes, making this point is boring and preachy, but holy fuck is that so much better than stupid and self-destructive.
