The thing is that words can have a very broad range of meaning depending on who uses them and how (among many other factors), but you can’t accurately code all of that into a form that computers can understand. Even ignoring bad actors it makes certain things very difficult, like if you ever want to search for something that just happens to share words with something completely different which is very popular.

I have to admit, I have questions about the impact of spending too much time deep inside machine logic territory.

I’ve seen a living zombie hoard before, at a dump in Nicaragua where they lived. I was told they got high on sniffing shoe glue, which literally causes the brain to decay while they’re still “alive,” but they just shambled around in a big mob, seemingly aimlessly, with glue smeared under their noses.

If you happen to enjoy spending your time listening to your so-called team mates actively trying to force a surrender vote because your bot lane got one less minion kill on the first wave than the other team’s mid laner.

You are once again building a flawed model of the dynamic at play here in an attempt to ease the discomfort you feel from encountering something that doesn’t make sense to you (why did I choose to join this community?). I’m not even attempting to build any counterarguments because the responses I’ve gotten don’t even attempt to understand what I’ve said in the beginning. To be utterly frank I just lack respect for people who think of themselves as any flavour of anarchist while still dreaming of a system as thoroughly rigid as the artificially created Internet. You pretend to hate the system while desperately trying to invent excuses for continuing to make yourself at home within it.

I don’t need to excuse your imagination.

Because people aren’t one dimensional objects.

Do you think Capitalists designed hardware, or Engineers?

I’m just gonna leave this quote as is, so you can think about it.

Same sort of deal as “anarcho-communist” operating systems. @@

No, it can run on many things, including open source collaborative hardware that exists

Please explain to me where this “open source collaborative” Internet hardware is on which you run your bitcoin network.

It’s actually a really good analogy, because it can only run on fully-capitalist hardware.

Copy/paste someone else’s code into your own project then play games/watch anime for a while.

potentially harmful

Oh for fuck sake. No, failing to give a voice to the hypochondriacs who bleat about every medical condition under the sun in any random social media thread isn’t “potentially harmful” by any stretch of the imagination. Frankly, constantly obsessing over such things is itself causing harm.

All of it, because apparently humans were wholly unprepared for using computer technology responsibly.

Not sure why you’re taking a tone which suggests you think I don’t agree with you.

Can parents just take care of their kids like they have for thousands of years

Okay, so lets be certain that kids do not have a direct connection with every intelligence agency, mafia and terrorist organization in the world right in their pocket, just as they did not for thousands of years. Now, to be clear I really don’t like the approach they’ve chosen here (I think we need to go much deeper into the fundamental design of the Internet), but I would hope it’s not a controversial statement to assert that our society has taken a very sharp turn for the worse ever since the Internet became ubiquitous in children’s development, and I think that really ought to prompt discussion about how it’s being used.

13,950 of them were made almost entirely with default assets on RPGmaker.

Could be to match the style of the target, to try and make the conversation feel more natural for them.

Tried vanilla Daggerfall again recently, and it’s a great hit of nostalgia, but definitely felt the age pretty hard. This mod looks amazing.
