I recently read a story here about someone spending a significant portion of their yearly income on a Fate game in Japan. I think it might be a mistake to assume that the only whales are rich.

A few times a few at least, and that’s only counting extermination in the KZ’s and VZ’s. If you consider the total casualties of the war, including combat deaths (even German) and civilian casualties outside of the camps, it’s more in the r

“Eventually” is quite the weasel word in this context. Yes, eventually it will, for values of eventually which may exceed the average human lifespan.

This is arguing dishonestly, as you presumably understand the difference between using examples to illustrate a principle, and a direct comparison. Why not just address the point, instead of being “outraged” by his presentation?

I’m not sure, but I think you just tried to compare the technological platforms of VR/AR with virtual cat trading for money on existing platforms? I’m not even getting into the huge amounts of time, money, and hard work that’s gone int

Too soon for info, too soon to say anything of substance. It might be better if this were not here at all until more is known. In a vacuum, online, things tend to devolve.

Sorry to say that MAgic Leap’s only relation to light fields is in their marketing and now defunct patents. Their actual product apppears to be a less impressive early Hololens.

That sounds about right. Reddit just isn’t a fun place to be, and hasn’t been for years. I’m not sure what the value proposition is for Reddit anymore, other than for the owners of Reddit.

I stopped using Reddit a while ago when it became clear that they had a pretty adversarial relationship with their users. Their moderation is terrible, the community ranges from unpleasant and repetitive to downright toxic, the content is b

Consider the source: Cressida Dick, and the Met Police. Look into their history, conduct, competence and attitudes, and you’ll understand why. I’m decidedly not a fan of much social media, but this is the usual deflection you get from the u

You know how it goes, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” It’s all over this place, regrettably.

When it’s Tunisians and Egyptians using FB and Twitter, everyone is quick to take credit and talk about the “transformative” power of social media. When it’s genocide, suddenly everyone is mumbling and looking at the ground. You can’t have

'I have to thank Facebook because it is giving me the true information in Myanmar.' What do you need, a flashing neon sign reading “tech” to be interested? He’s directly pointing to one of the 5 big Tech firms, it could not be

I’ll hold off on votes or flagging, while I wait for some evidence commensurate to your claim that courts favor women. Is that acceptable?

Sorry, if I had tried to add that I wouldn’t have had any room for the title itself. Thanks to whoever edited it.

Where you’re deported to seems like a key factor here, along with whether or not you had to flee from that place, and if you have any connections there. In this case it’s Somalia, he had to flee along with his family, and he has no connecti

It’s not that latent, it just got a little quiet after WWII, but it’s been roaring back to life for years now.

This is 100% anecdote: A friend of mine test drove a Tesla, and said that when he was in the far right lane on a highway, the autopilot would get a little sketchy at off ramps. It didn’t ever off or anything, he described it as “jiggling” l

I feel like the “Nobody cares” line was clearly wrong a while ago, and now it just smacks of desperation. Clearly people care, a lot, and while you can try to denigrate or dismiss them in a number of ways, or play games of tu quoque with “O
