But also don’t forget that the amount of gamers is larger today than in 2013. Gaming is much more mainstream, and so even 97% of the install base is still disappointing considering steam grew by, what, 3x or something in terms of average monthly users?

Another source I found is that the amount of total gamers grew by roughly 50% from 2013 to 2025. But yeah, I just did a quick skin numbers are not precise

But still, 97% is disappointing considering the general demographic was supposed to grow. And then, in reality, it’s just 67% too

Honestly I’m surprised anyone would even want to sleep with a trumper. Like, what’s the appeal? It’s not like they treat women (or anyone, really) well

Do people not use kitchen weights? It’s a very common thing where I live (in Europe)

Hell, I often just use a kitchen weight to measure volume of water instead of using a measuring cup, as 1 liter of water ~= 1 kilogram

People really are gonna just “too hard to use” their way into an ad-filled, censored, unusable, toxic social media experience huh

half life times log2(amount of atoms), right?

English is also my second language, but I still remember learning at least a little bit about it. Maybe it was in history class, or maybe it was as part of the introduction to germ theory in natural sciences class

Oh wow, so we’re finally getting there with genetically modifying and replicating internal organs in medicine?

That is, indeed, amazing news

No, that is not the direct equivalence. The direct equivalence for 2. Would be something like

“But then they insist that being naked is never acceptable and is grotesque, and anyone that disagrees is a gross pervert”

That’s where the inconsistency comes from

But “constructing better morals” is by itself a non-relativist statement. How can you say there are “better morals” when you follow moral relativism, which states that there is no universal set of moral principles? In other words, that morals are not comparable with each-other?

It’s not the same thing as accepting that different cultures have different set of morals, but whether some things are simply more moral than others, or not. For example, saying that slavery is always bad, and should never be allowed, is an absolutist moral statement.

But the point is that, if you follow moral relativism (which the hypothetical students in the post do, as they insist morality is relative), then you must acquiesce that cultures which hate queer people are valid and acceptable, because doing otherwise would not be moral relativism. Or, take another example, slavery. Is it okay for any culture to practice slavery?

And if you don’t agree that it is valid and acceptable on a philosophical level, well, you can just follow a form moral universalism. Which is more appropriate if you do think some sets of morals are simply more ethical than others, such as, for example, not allowing slavery

It’s not so much about whether different moral standards exist or not, but more whether different standards for morals in and of themselves are acceptable/ethical.

I really don’t understand your issue here. So should people not post their experiences and thoughts on social media?

It’s a dedicated community for it, it’s in the exact place it’s supposed to be in. I don’t see the point in restricting yourself because you don’t want it to be on the front page or what not

Besides, it’s still important to discuss the decline of a major user platform like reddit, especially since most of us here have personal experience with it, and likely have friends that use it

I think you meant “kingdom of Denmark” there, but yeah

I don’t know, I think what will just end up happening is china’s “dollar” taking its place instead

We’re just going to end up exchanging one superpower for another, it’s not going to fundamentally fix the problem. For that you’d need to do it more sensibly

Alternatively, why not just… let people be themselves and weird? Because they were annoying to you? So many people are annoying for one reason or another, do we need to discipline them for it? Moreover, should we? Or would that just be limiting our expression and enforcing uniformity?

Ngl, stockades and free use… Yeah

I mean, when you’re morning person you also just spend all those daylights hours at work so

Unless you work outside, I wouldn’t say there’s that much of a difference

…why shouldn’t they?

Fix some leaky pipes, the water pressure has been getting low seems like

And also all the people who said “you call everyone Nazis”

How did that turn out, huh?

For 1., also don’t forget that major labour movements spring up during and after WW2, it’s hard to say how much of a repeat that will be this time around, but the potential is there

And 2., I agree, I am concerned myself, especially with nukes these days

But on the other hand, economy, and reliance on globalized production chains, is so much more central to the core of a nation these days. It’s not possible to just produce everything locally anymore, not like it was during WW2, anyway. everything is too hyper specialized for that now

So there is the potential that, if the US really does something very stupid and gets a complete embargo from the rest of the west, they’re just going to get completely fucked (and so will the rest of the west, but you know). So the amount of damage they end up being able to do might end up being limited

Of course, China would benefit massively from this, as they do actually go heavy on self-sufficiency, and then there’s the risk of Russia exploiting this as well, but the silver lining is that the US simply might collapse before it manages to do some real damage

In the end, I think the future of how the world will look like will be up to China. I really really hope that they end up having a massive democratic movement for the sake of the world, but we’ll see. At least China so far still seems like a rational actor on the world stage, although still ruthless and self-serving, of course
