That’d be the only answer I’d accept 😆

Not eating the pizza is indeed incorrect when the goal is to eat the pizza.

I like a good enema

It’s bad for certain parts of the economy and it is dangerous for current rulers.

Actually I don’t expect them to act logically or “adult”, whatever you mean by that. Adulthood doesn’t mean anything.

But that they don’t act like that is exactly why I think there won’t be any world scale wars.

There is no worst, most incorrect way to eat a pizza. The way someone eats something is irrelevant. There is no good or bad here.

It’s a western perspective. And of course it is. How many people of the sovjetbloc do you think are around here? I thought about this for a second and dismissed it because it’s with a 99% chance not relevant to the one asking here.

But still, thank you for providing this perspective, it is like you say, I just didn’t think it was relevant to this question in this place we’re in.

hear about

Something is only talked about if talking about it accomplishes something. Gen X doesn’t raise any strong feelings with anyone, so they’re not talked about. They’re still there obviously.

The reason why is complex, and I’m no expert myself. However, from what I gathered about recent history, what seems most likely to me is that the time gen x’ers grew up in was very stable in the sense that economy was good, no major wars were happening, the cold war was “ending”. So the only thing gen x’ers had to worry about was themselves. So they did. And you don’t really need to talk about someone that just keeps to themself. They cause you no issues.

Another theory of mine is very simple: humanity changes over time. The larger the time, the larger the change. Differences between humans breeds conflict as their interests collide. Since boomers are the current oldest larger impactful generation, and gen z are the youngest, the difference between them are greatest. Thus the conflict between them is highest, thus there are a lot of people talking about those problems. I’ve been hearing less about millennials as well.

It doesn’t actually change being away from university.

The only way it changes is if you change your mindset.

Re-evaluate what you actually need. Almost everyone can free up time and energy from stuff they shouldn’t actually care about, but do care because of societal or familial or whatever pressures.

I mean obviously he knows how he’s part of evil, now that he’s at the end of his career or life I guess the personal benefits don’t outweigh the guilt anymore.

I actually don’t find it confusing at all, as I’m also pro-Steam. They do a lot of very cool things and actually much better than everyone else. But they’re still part of a systemic problem that is worth criticizing/raising awareness for/solving.

It’s an example of team sports/tribalism. People either see a thing as universally good or universally bad. Steam is the Good Guy, so our psyche is wired to not criticize them as much as possible.

I also actually have a very high opinion of them, for all the same reasons. I even said that in my original comment that I’m not actually very much against Steam doing what it’s doing, since they’re still doing better stuff than anybody else.

I’m just not a fanboy and am able to criticize things I like.

When I said that excessive profits are essentially stealing in the context of Steam: https://lemm.ee/post/37004161/13249135

I still stand by that comment very much. If a company makes a lot more than most other companies per employee, then quite obviously the profit margin is much higher than other companies. If the profit margin is much higher than other companies, then the price could be lowered. Steam is obviously the best and basically a monopoly which is why they can do that, but this is an example of how capitalism does not lead to the best efficiency.

I’m essentially advocating against more profit. I live a relatively poor life by choice. Almost everyone I meet calls me crazy, I rather work less than earn more money. I think one of our main problems as a species for sustainability is that everyone always wants more and more and is never satisfied. This applies individually and to companies/other organizations. As long as my basic needs like food and housing are covered, I’m happy.

But if the birth isn’t today, the pregnancy might as well not exist. I mean of course the physical disadvantages of having a big belly are relevant, but the baby isn’t, it can’t do anything, it will never be born

But… Why would anyone do that?

Sure, people might try it out more because of the “apparent” lack of consequences… But the reason we humans don’t do violent shit isn’t because of things, it’s because of other humans, and they remain exactly the same.

If one person turns out to be a murderous maniac, the people around them would probably band together and take them out at the start of the loop, effectively being a very real consequence you’d wish to avoid.

What changes though is only your current external situation not relating to humans is staying the same. Everyone can still continue to grow and go to therapy, learn more about themselves and the world. This is basically almost completely still the real world. Most changes a human notices is the humans around them changing, not the walls of the apartment. Relationships still evolve, breakups happen, new love can be found. Science can still continue, we can use human memory and the internet to collect and analyze data. Instead of amassing physical wealth we might amass knowledge.

Most people don’t just randomly stumble into legitimate/true behavior. We’re apes, we see something and then do. If it all gets moderated away, the chance for legitimate/true behavior drops dramatically.

Also just noticed the site I linked also has performance per dollar pages, USA, new, non-used prices though. I would encourage to buy used.

Just wanna point out that I chuckled a lot when I figured out you weren’t actually helping your friend clean his rugs.

I’m not sure if 16GB over 12 currently has a lot of effect. I currently have 16 and my VRAM almost never goes above 8-10 or so. Depends heavily on the game of course, but I think 16 is only really useful in the future.
