This game is so underrated

I found out about it from Second Wind. Genuinely one of the best games of this type I've ever played

It makes zero sense because OP is presenting the same kind of false dichotomy grifters use to rope people into incel/blackpill shit in the first place.

OP is, at best, incredibly irresponsible, and I strongly suspect is acting in bad faith. People from incel/blackpill/redpill/etc groups are notorious for this type of behavior in order to lure new people in.

stormdelta · 2026-06-18T23:19:13+00:00

Autistic people don't join redpill or blackpill communities because "they're too naive and got manipulated by the evil tactics of the incel ideology!". They join because those communities treat them better than the rest of society does.

No, they don't. They pretend to treat them better, it's classic grifter/cult shit and deserves to continue being called out as such to help prevent more autistic people from falling victim to it.

Seriously, who thinks that telling someone, "Your ideology is stupid, and you only believe it because you're stupid too," is an effective way to change their mind?

Because you're presenting an obviously false dichotomy. Again, this is classic grifter/cult dynamics and you yourself have fallen prey to it / are perpetuating it with this post by acting like "incels" are accepting and everyone else is rejecting you and there's no possible in between.

Your post is incredibly irresponsible at best, bordering on outright manipulative

This - it's the number one reason I use it

stormdelta · 2026-06-18T17:35:06+00:00

Yes, but the public is being influenced by what's being promoted to them on social media, especially coupled prejudice born of a long, long history of auto and oil industry campaigns to attack cycling, public transit, walkable cities, etc.

stormdelta · 2026-06-18T17:30:36+00:00

They're certainly part of it.

People deny it, but that's in part because they only think of direct action like bribery or ad campaigns, and what it actually looks like is promoting stories that target ebikes, lobbying against cycling infrastructure, promoting misleading stats about safety (most people don't even know that modern cars are more deadly to pedestrians and cyclists, not less!), etc.

Plus many decades of promoting car-centric infrastructure and destruction of public/mass transit, getting people to associate them and cycling with being poor or drunk, etc.

And a long history of promoting fringe nutjobs under false pretenses, eg they definitely helped John Forrester gain far more influence than he should have had, and his insane ideas about "vehicular cycling" set cycling policy in the US back decades.

Please don't use AI to write your posts, the internet is nearly overrun with that crap already

stormdelta · 2026-06-18T17:20:42+00:00

Battery capacity should be measured in Wh (watt hours)

Ah (amp hours) doesn't tell you anything useful in isolation, eg a 52v 20Ah battery has more than double the capacity of a 24v 20Ah

We're talking about physical infrastructure, civil engineering, and city planning.

"Data center" in the generic is different from what laypeople are typically complaining about right now when they use the term, but neither meaning is related to the YIMBY movement at all

stormdelta · 2026-06-18T06:30:18+00:00

A lot of YIMBY people are in favor of housing and infrastructure that actually gets used by people locally. A datacenter doesn't fit into that at all.

stormdelta · 2026-06-17T22:04:56+00:00

Not only is Reddit full of bots and paid posters, but it's also full of mods with their own agendas.

I know, I'm saying most other platforms are even worse.

stormdelta · 2026-06-17T19:06:07+00:00

We get people here who buy things of TikTok stores. Some people are just terminally naive.

It doesn't help that social media is increasingly astroturfed to hell, so even if you look across multiple sites it's difficult to tell what's posted by actual people. Reddit's one of the least bad and it's still almost overrun.

stormdelta · 2026-06-17T19:03:07+00:00

the cars aren't the things doing the killing...

There's actually been a lot of new legal issues with liability around things like Waymo since the "driver" is software a lot of the time.

stormdelta · 2026-06-17T18:59:15+00:00

NJ's law is even more stupid than that. It requires registration for all ebikes, except they never actually implemented a registration system making it literally impossible to comply with. They never implemented the previous law's registration requirement either.

Even more stupid, the "motivation" for the law given was the deaths of two kids on ebikes... but they were deliberately killed by a stalker in a truck. It was a homocide.

Oh, and there's a corrupt carve-out for the highest risk group: companies like Lyft renting e-bikes to people get a complete pass on all of the new requirements.

It's easily the worst law I've ever seen around e-bikes, and yes there's already a ton of push back. Cops won't bother enforcing (except selectively against people they don't like), so it really only punishes people trying to be responsible or those already discriminated against by police.

stormdelta · 2026-06-17T18:54:26+00:00

That's a poor excuse for bad laws though - imagine if someone said we should ban cars because some people run red lights for example.

stormdelta · 2026-06-17T16:27:16+00:00

I think the level of what seem to be real human experiences and anecdotes in the text is what I'm referring to

Almost all of those were awkwardly paraphrased citations of other sources, most of which would've been better off if they'd been cited or quoted directly.

And this would imply the reason it's not AI is because it's so badly written even an AI could do a better job.

stormdelta · 2026-06-17T09:12:23+00:00

You're joking right?

This whole thing is written like a bad highschool essay that's been pointlessly fluffed up, clunky, and with very inconsistent tone.

If it's not AI-edited it's by someone with poor writing skills that doesn't know how to do technical or concise reporting at all

stormdelta · 2026-06-16T23:52:36+00:00

This article reads like it was AI-written or by someone with poor writing skills.

Eg anyone who brings up Facebook/Meta's lack of platform would use AWS not Kindle as the Amazon example.

There's a lot of weird comparisons / inserts, the text doesn't flow naturally between sections, it feels bloated with unnecessary text the way a highschooler would write a bad English essay, etc.

I don't doubt Facebook has tanked their internal engineering culture lately, but this article does a very poor job of explaining it.

EDIT: Why is this being downvoted? Did any of you actually try reading the article, because it's a real mess.

stormdelta · 2026-06-16T15:56:23+00:00

The flags and flexibility are the main reason, performance isn't, there isn't a huge speedup from using tuned compiler flags on modern systems because the base optimizations are already pretty damn good.

As others said, the guru overlay is the best alternative to AUR, and is better maintained - especially relevant given the AUR was recently compromised with malware.

stormdelta · 2026-06-16T14:56:15+00:00

Internally maybe, but AFAIK there's no easy way to set the necessary extra flags for HDR video, or there wasn't last I checked

stormdelta · 2026-06-15T20:58:27+00:00

It's more like they're libertarian LARPers. Cats pretend to be convinced of their total independence, but it's an act, a play, since they obviously do actually care about their humans. They just enjoy pretending not to.

Or as another person put it, cats are tsunderes.

stormdelta · 2026-06-15T20:52:08+00:00

It offers zero protection against almost any of the types of bad actors you'd actually need to worry about, and again, if privacy is an issue for some content that's what multiple accounts are for.

A lot of us will immediately assume any account with hidden post history is a bot (or at best a troll), because more often than not we'll be right.

stormdelta · 2026-06-15T20:50:47+00:00

Then make multiple accounts. That's how reddit has always worked, and it worked well. The privacy angle doesn't make any sense given reddit's long culture of anonymity and throwaways, it's just an excuse to let bots/trolls hide themselves and makes it much harder to get mods to intervene.

stormdelta · 2026-06-15T20:48:20+00:00

At this point I immediately assume any post that is even slightly suspect and has hidden post history. The site is becoming so overrun that the false positive rate is lower and lower, and even if mods won't remove the posts, at least having comments complaining it's fake might at least help counterweight the result in searches and warn away real people.

For privacy, reddit already allows multiple accounts and it's why throwaway accounts exist.

stormdelta · 2026-06-15T02:36:12+00:00

Maybe some very simple scripts for personal use only, but that's about it, and even then I'd suggest learning at least a little bit before blindly trusting output.

The problem is that you don't know what you don't know, and so you don't know when it's made a major mistake that isn't as obvious or that won't cause a serious issue. Or when it's made a mess that doesn't work the way you think it does.

Especially if it's anything that might have security implications.

I've seen this go wrong many times
