Even worse is when adults actively deny teaching you something basic like washing clothes or cooking food, always saying “Leave it to me”. I am very resentful of that

the Night in the Woods incident

I’m so out of the loop (it’s great for my own mental health) that I never heard of that one, and I quite enjoyed playing NitW

The girl in the OP isn’t happy with being ignored tho

From that girl’s perspective, it seems that she feels rejected, just not explicitly

suggesting drastic changes, such as not waiting for market forces to transition away from fossil fuels, but instead suggest governments globally super-charge the build-out of renewable energy sources.

We can already expect USA to say “NOOOOOOOO, MAH PROFEEEETS!!! YOU’RE HURTING MAH PROFEEEEEEETS!!!”

Wasn’t there a similar shit patent headline about sony doing that?

Oh yeah, there was, “ghost assistance”, aka “no need to look up on youtube”; something which I’m pretty sure exists as “previous art” in some game or another - https://www.gamesindustry.biz/sony-patents-ai-generated-ghost-support-system-to-assist-stuck-players

Also, bots that automate play have existed since the old MUD days, this patent must be like the many that are “something that already exists, but on a computer with AI”

Why are women even taught/expected to behave like sneaky spies when it comes to romance? “Ok, time to do my personal hair signal that I’m interested and want him to approach”

Broken clock miracles or something, go figure :)

Ew, sexy demons

At times like these I’m kinda ok with portuguese lacking a “proper” word for berry. “Bago” or “baga” isn’t really used, at least not in everyday life, everyone will always refer to them as fruits

Aren’t Nick and Judy enough?

For some reason, you made me think of 4chan and how it’s always been a cesspool, no capitalism needed. Little did we know how most corporate social media would devolve into “4chan, but with ad-friendly moderation”

Took me a while to realize that for most people, it’s less about religion and more about maintaining rituals and, more importantly, belonging to a community. To my knowledge, atheists don’t have the latter outside the internet.

That a dictatorship led by a “good, strong leader” would be enough to fix any country. Held that belief from ages 16-22. With time, I understood that it would devolve into a bad strong leader anyway, especially because any one single person cannot realistically do everything at such a large scale, nor can they ensure that everyone down the chain of command is “good”. Paranoia would seep in, more and more resources would be spent hunting “the bad ones”, innocents would be wrongfully accused either by honest mistake or by malicious enemies.

Nowadays, I really enjoy the idea of “Do not take for yourself any power that you would loathe your worst enemy to have” and I wish it could be applied to all levels of politics.

The only autocorrect I liked because I have no clue how to manually insert an em-dash otherwise

I feel the same about Eternal. In 2016, once I got the upgrade that gave me infinite ammo while at full health and armor, I had some of the best fun in the game, using the railgun like a maniac

I didn’t finish Eternal, I think I stopped before the cathedral where you’d kill the 2nd evil archbishop or whatever. Combat was annoying and the parkour more so

The UI and every interaction is unnecessarily slow and that really builds up stress, not to mention the many times your aim is pretty fucking clearly centered on a vegetable or box or whatever, but the interact will target a nearby NPC because fuck you.

Learning alien words is one of the worst chores of NMS

Nah, monkey brain would still think “THIS time I’ll win for sure!”
