They said they believe.

Only knowledge has sources; but beliefs sound cool.

I don’t know why I used a semicolon there, but it’s staying.

No, it’s definitely hacking because that makes me a hacker with my friends sports TV subscription 👨‍💻😎

They do this with Early Access and people still lose their shit about empty content and unfinished graphics in a game they paid $10 for.

When people make me play Monopoly, I always take the housing shortage strategy for the guaranteed fast win. People hate me, but rules are rules, and I hate that game.

Call me pretentious, but I genuinely forget about Facebook and that lots of people still care about it.

In this context, you use the term “belief” very well.

This post is discussing the phenomenon of people thinking that science is objective and rigid when in reality it is anything but.

It’s not though. That’s all you.

The irony of such a statement…

I don’t want to deflate your assumption, but “Science is pure objectivity and truth”.

The assumption you introduced just added another layer on by bringing Marxism into it. And here’s the thing with that fallacy; you may be very right! But, it’s got nothing to do with the original statement anymore. It’s just going down tangents of a tangent that should be explored under their own initiative, not the blanket of “science”.

It’s not literal; as the fallacy credits, neither is it necessarily wrong. But(!!!), they’re just not related.

The entire post itself—and your reply—is social science. But science is incapable of alignment to any -ism. All isms are human-made. If they are 100% true, they are not isms.

Edit: Sorry, I’m drunk af, so probably you are right…maybe… At least in my mind, I’m just reading Statement B as literally as Statement A and therefore can’t see correlation without social agenda—theyre just two very different things. Science and agenda; or agenda using “science”. It’s bias. That’s very unscientific.

This is a clean example of an ignoratio elenchi fallacy.

Statement B attempts to use Statement A to make an unrelated point that isn’t necessarily untrue, but it is still unrelated.

This could be done with any combination of…

“Under capitalism, <random thing> is…”
“Under <random ism>, science is…”

They would all result in a statement that supports Speaker B, but is no longer relevant to what Speaker A stated, as the topic has changed. In this case, from science to capitalism.

I.e. It’s an anti-capitalism meme attempting to use science to appeal to a broader audience through relevance fallacy. Both statements may be true, but do not belong in the same picture.

Unless, of course, “that’s the joke” and I’m just that dumb.

Edit: I’m not a supporter of capitalism. But I am a supporter of science—haha, like it needs me to exist—and this is an interesting example of social science. It seems personal opinion is paramount to some individuals rather than unbiased assessment of the statement as a whole. Call me boring and autistic, but that’s what science be and anything else isn’t science, it’s just personal opinion, belief, theory, etc.

I’d be surprised if it lasted longer than any other socially progressive trend. A few weeks, tops, with largest proportions falling off in the first week.

This is the reality of social momentum these days. Resistance is no threat because it has extremely brief lifespan before moving onto the next thing to be a part of.

If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be relaxing, I’d be doing shit that might have me enjoy relaxing later. Relaxing when not needing to relax is just making excuses for slothfulness lol

I hear the Nintendo war drums…

Not to alarm anyone, but unless you’re doing the 100m in around 11s or less, current large crocodiles are still faster than you. But if you’re fit enough to keep the speed going, you should outlast them over short enough distance.

And if you can’t do any of that, well you’ll have to run lateral to it and hope your agility out maneouvers them.

I’ve done this with three friends, moving a couch from one part of the city to another, around 7pm at night. At first carrying seemed easy, but it soon got awkward and tiring. Then we ended up being able to very easily put it on our heads while arms kept it balanced and made excellent progress.

Cops pulled up next to us around halfway, “Sorry guys, I have to ask. What the fuck are you doing?”

“We’re moving this couch from one friend’s place to the other.”

“Yep, thought it’d be something like that, but I had to ask. Be careful crossing streets.”

Near the end, middle guy was resting it on his head too much, it burst through the fabric and he was temporarily couchhead.

How dare you propose freedom in the land of the free. No freedom for you! Not until you pledge an allegiance.

For some reason this has made me lol so much. Simple and stupid. And love how Jeff just fucks off out of frame getting worse at it.

I’ve had a few house mates from Japan and Taiwan. They always had a weird issue overemphasising and misusing English swear words. I had to teach them how to swear properly so they didn’t sound like psychos.

I’ll never forget, “Are you fucking kid me?!”

I was in stitches. “Bro, it’s “kidding” and you emphasise that, not the “fucking” part. Like this… Are you fucking kidding me?”

I think you underestimate how well developed the VA industry is in Japan

Oh, no. That’s the point! It’s so, so good. If English dubbers just copied it enough, it would still be decent enough. They don’t have to explore, practice, or come up with excellent VA, just copy, even amateurishly, and it’ll be good.

I think the issue is many English dubbers try really hard to speak to match the mouth movements and it ends up sounding so unusual. But also, stuff like choosing some young high pitched voice when the original actor was a deep sombersome voice that matches the character’s appearance and demeanor.

When games are paused, this is just the timeline.

If you truly want the game to pause, you would sit at the loading screen every time you unpaused, as you just stopped everything and it now needs to cache back in to where it was. Once it is all loaded back in, your CPU and memory loaded back up, the game can unpause. The game also has things running to prevent crashes, frame issues, memory management, etc. This is why you get a fair bit on the CPU and RAM even on the opening cinematic, it’s loaded up with all that extra stuff for environment.

Obviously that’s not a pause feature, rather essentially what happens when you save and then load the save.
