Depicting racism is not racist.

You’re painting a picture of a constant churning racewar, which is just not true. Elves have an elven supremacy bent that’s not universe and portrayed as a flaw. There’s other depictions of racism that again are not universal traits. Dark elves have the most of it, but dark elves are traditionally the evil elves - though in ES dunmer are more complicated than that.

People from different cultures and species regularly get along even as nations war with each other.

It’s very expensive to make good content that a player can miss is why.

Neurologically.

There are some great studies using brain scans that show when you give people extra privileges, even in limited contexts like games, the empathy centers of the brain are supressed and show weaker activity.

Higher status individuals regularly fail to read emotions as well as lower status people do. Brain scans also show that power makes your resource reward centers more active and makes you less able to regulate these kind of impulses.

Power makes humans cruel, selfish, greedy and impulsive. It’s how human brains work. Heirarchy and justice are mutually exclusive.

I work with a deaf schizophrenic person and they talk (write, sign) about their “mind being quiet” or being “way out of my mind”. When clearly experiencing symptoms they’ll often look, sign, yell or kick at a specific area but can’t really detail what exactly’s happening in those moments.

In my experience the behavioural elements of schizophrenia would be hard to miss, i doubt visual vs non-visual hallucinations would change that.

My understanding is it can be hard to narrow down schizophrenia vs other diagnoses, but it’s usually obvious that something is going on. I’d think if people were looking for blind schizophrenia cases they’d at least have a pool of likely candidates to look into.

I’m instantly skeptical of “no blind schizophrenics” but it’s just gut. I can’t think of any explanation.

Because of the US and british empires, english functions as a prestige language, the language of international trade and english language media is widespread. Many people know at least a little english, and most languages have english loan words.

Plenty of US english songs have the odd spanish word. Doesn’t 小蘋果 have a korean bit? Even hebrew prayers break into aramaic every now and again.

We live in a multi-lingual world and our songs reflect that.

Objectively untrue. He lacks the cognition to realize anything of the sort. “Mythos is so scary!!1!1” is a PR line.

Most AI music will just end up with the badge, right?

“Saying a big hello to all you sentient lifeforms out there and for everyone else the secret is to bang the rocks together, guys!”

Yeah this is clearly the correct answer: it refers to percentage of total population. Technically its closer to 37:1, but that doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Netanyahu is obviously a racist cunt, but he’s not going to go out of his way to publicly offend americans dying for his political goals - he wants americans to continuing dying for his political goals.

Yeah you don’t get to walk shirtless onto a live set by accident.

I mean they kinda are. It’s called hospice and it’s when they break open the good shit.

I think your point about a war going on is spot on, but backwards.

While the project of zionism is engaged in genocide, kill all zionists is pretty clearly a call for resisting and punishing genocide.

Just as during a deeply homophobic regime, be gay do crime is clearly understood as a call to resist our illegitimate system.

It just won’t happen. Our institutions are weak and very subject to outside influence. Everyone in the world can see it.

If our corrupt oligarchs allow an election, the next president will still have to deal with their financial power, the private electronic surveillance state they control, their overwheming control of our very corrupt court system, etc.

If the dems were interested in fixing the problem it would take focused effort over multiple terms. The dems are not interested in fixing the problem. This is just who we are as a nation-state.

Lol the gizmodo article about the preview of mythos has this incredible openly line:

If Anthropic is kind of like a kid at a Halloween party with a bowl full of spaghetti, telling its blindfolded friends the spaghetti is brains, European cyber agency leaders are like kids who are mad that they still haven’t gotten to stick their fingers in the brain bowl

Anthropic in particular seems to use “we’re scared of what we can do” as their marketing strategy. So maybe this unauthorized use is real, or maybe it’s just more PR.

If there’s one thing fascism has taught us, the two are hardly mutually exclusive.

I find that being made aware of my mistakes helps me be more diligent in the future, so i’d want to know.

Given that bluesky was hit a few days ago, could be a threat actor gauging the defenses/responses of 2nd tier targets. I wouldn’t put it past musk to use ddos to generate bad press for non-x socials either.

Plenty of ways this could be worth someone’s resources even if complete take down isn’t on the table.

This could be a fun riddle:

What’s harder to protect the more protectors it has? A secret.

Billy bragg has a great song about the twin cities. It’s a spin on that “first they came for” poem, but instead of the “and i said nothing because…” bit it has “so I got in their face!”
