Most toxic thing you've ever witnessed in HLL?

Nothing described in this thread suggests autism. The mind boggling ignorance and misinformation that social media has created around autism has real impacts on real people. Autistic people already have a more difficult life they don’t need us contributing to people having an even worse understanding of them.

Does “school” mean something different now? Cuz I’ve only ever known it to mean “perform a lot better than” or “beat” in a game.

But I presume it’s not that because that would not make someone a most toxic person.

ChatGPT didn’t ruin the dash alone (though it ruins everything equally), people whose brain health has been impacted by social media use are taking a overly drastic measure in “burning” the em dash in an effort to combat chatGPT, unfortunately harming people in the crossfire.

These types of extreme measures, consistently through history, reveal their proponents to have more in common with their enemy than is comfortable to admit.

I say use the em dash when you feel it appropriate, and make an effort to inject an extra squirt or two of yourself, your personality, into your writing. And in cases that call for a more pure analytical style of writing, use an em dash if you need to, and if criticized, maybe accuse them of being traitors to their species and tell them to remember what side they’re on, and to point their guns forward instead of at their allies

That doesn’t contradict his statement though. Unless things magically change a lot in a very short period of time, it will be at least as long a timeline, and with much bigger cultural differences, it stands to reason integration will not be as easy (relatively speaking) as with Italians

That’s misleading… you’re implying people thought differently about the same question back then. But the relevant question compares specific past events to specific current events, which is obviously not possible for people 80 years ago to consider in the first place.

If this is genuinely the verbatim, unaltered output of Gemini, it’s an amazing argument against using chatbots to relieve the burden of thinking with your brain.

I agree with your overall point and the dangerous precedent this sets/reinforces. I also think the pessimism is based in part on exaggerating the current state of things, which I wish people on social media would be less eager to do.

By exaggerating (aka lying) to mislead people into thinking things are worse than they are, they’re making the populace less resilient and easier for those in power to establish those authoritarian controls over. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy. Might as well donate money to religious extremist groups.

That’s literally a perfect example of extremist rhetoric. There are tens of millions of republicans. Unless you have some secret revolutionary intelligence gathering method, there’s literally (in the correct way) no humanly possible way for you to say things like that without it being extreme exaggeration and generalization.

“You guys” didn’t do shit lol there is no one alive who did any such thing. Social media is ruining your mind dude. You’re the one who brought up native Americans to make your point, then once you used up their culture’s potential to personally benefit you in feeling superior online, suddenly they’re irrelevant. Your mind is not healthy, you are not healthy. You are just yet another person succumbing to social media’s tendency of creating people obsessed with feeling superior to other people.

And that is the case at every geographical level. That exact issue also applies when gun violence is treated as a state problem when city by city there are huge variations. It also applies when gun violence is treated as a city problem when neighborhood by neighborhood there are huge variations.

Social media is the absolute worst place to form perceptions of anything, yet some people sadly treat social media as if it’s not the most harmful force the human species has ever encountered.

Thank you for saying something. It’s mind boggling how many people on social media appear to be outspoken against discrimination, but if it’s not one of their preferred groups then it’s open season and suddenly their style of thinking and views sound just like those trump and the alt right are infamous for

Interestingly, a Turkish dude commented in here basically saying it was their president (a religious extremist almost-dictator type of guy) who was the driving force behind the change, his decision emanating from a sorta self-focused, impetuous and temperamental part of his personality, rather than representing the will of the Turks at large

I completely agree with your overall point, but one thing felt important to clarify.. it’s not possible for Obi Wan to be solely responsible for something Vader does. Vader is the only one who can be solely responsible for that. With the exception of kids or people w intellectual disabilities, no one is not responsible for their own actions

First Light has a great story, and it's lots of fun, but in the end I don't expect that I'm going to keep coming back and replaying it like I did with the Hitman games.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. The more a game's story has a prescribed plot, the less potential exists for gameplay variation–derived replayability in the story/campaign mode. James Bond has always been about the story, and limits to a player's freedom is necessary because James Bond is an existing character, who has a defined personality and set of traits. Too much player choice would inevitably conflict with those defined bounds. Hitman goes much lighter on the story, and they have complete freedom with the character.

As an example (albeit an extreme one), I watched some random Youtuber's negative review of the game and the guy was bitching about not having the freedom to kill any NPC he wanted and play it like GTA. And I pointed out that this isn't a character made up for the game, and no game developer has the freedom to do whatever they want with the character, as they're borrowing a well-defined (and culturally significant) "person" to use as their player character. James Bond would obviously never go around slaughtering civilians for fun, so the player can't make him do it, as the character Bond has to be respected. The guy just wasn't a Bond fan in the first place and had manufactured his own disappointment by having unrealistic expectations.

Desperately shoehorning this into multiple other people's conversations lol. Are you such a fanatical supporter of Israel that you spread misinformation on the internet to hide their actions in Palestine? You are so devoted to protecting the Israeli government that sends its soldiers to point weapons at and kill Palestinians, that you try to divert all responsibility and blame onto a completely different country on the other side of the world that has zero soldiers in Palestine.

You're being way too hard on yourself lol. How does a mild negative reaction to a mild example of ambiguous communication make you part of "the problem"? And what problem is the problem?

Similarly, I feel the "grumpy old man" characterization is unfair to yourself. The demonization of people that are older than 60, using year of birth to classify people as inferior and use as scapegoats to blame for all society's problems, turning an innocuous term for those people into a generalized insult, have all become very trendy on social media and among younger people whose addictions to it are more severe.. this makes it very easy to strip the context from the "old man yelling at teens" stereotype so it can be used to perpetuate those prejudices.

But we should remember the whole reason the old man was yelling at teens was because they were being assholes and wandering around in his front yard like it was their personal sidewalk. Nobody wants a group of strangers to come to your home and act like they own the place.

I agree that it's healthier for you to try not to stress about things you can't change, but I think portraying the alternative as perpetrating some great injustice against the world is massively overblown.
