So you can’t empathize with gambling addicts because you can’t understand how they don’t value the money being lost, yet your entire comment is about how the fun of gambling has nothing to do with value or money? It seems weird to me that p

People have been envisioning virtual show rooms and virtual stores/malls forever... but I don't believe they serve an actual purpose. What function does it solve? Unless you have fully realistic graphics and fully simulated sens

I don’t really get this article… it seems to make a good argument that dopamine is not the be all end all of addiction. Yet then it goes on to show that it is indeed a component of addiction, yet one of which is complex and still not well

How many people who struggle with porn are actually just using it as a replacement for dealing with more destructive addictions? This was the issue for me, as a problem gambler porn became a scapegoat that I had more control over then gamb

I mean, when you take your inspiration from television and sci-fi movies it does seem like rich people doing vanity ego projects is the best way for us to survive as a species. Assuming you mean mean the "rich" when you say speci

It often seems weird to me that any time a seemingly happy and successful celebrity commits suicide the underlying reasons and especially the mental state at the time are largely brushed away. Everyone is quick to praise them for their suc

Dr K is the type of thing we need more of when people say things like “we need to support mental health more”. I don’t even think his content is particularly good or helpful yet his fostering of a community and overall message of normalizi

So the secret to happiness is exercise, meditate, be social and develop a spiritual relationship with nature? So basically no more insightful then any pop self help book. Maybe the more interesting question is why no one putting down there

Film has such a huge library of "great movies", I have over 700 films logged on letterboxd, with a pretty decent spread of years/countries and I would say I still know basically nothing about film. I can fire up Criterion Ch

Yeah kill off the only good part of reddit and turn it into a TikTok clone. Of course I have no doubt most reddit leadership has this as goal #1.

Bullshit. I pay to go to the movies, I am advertised to. Why do you think online services will maintain this “pay is for ad fee”?

by kmnc 6y ago
So the content producers just advertise to you directly, why wouldn’t they? The bigger they get, the more premium viewers, the more sponsors they receive. Eventually YouTube won’t like being cut out gain and boom to YouTube premium now ha

The most disturbing thing is how many people have become ad apologists now. We gave up the fight, we lost. Massively successful channels now bait people into watching in video ads and people actually defend this practice. Many people I k

So, they are idiots. If no logic can change their minds then isn’t dismissing them as idiots the best course of action?

Why can’t Twitter and Facebook auto moderate the most basic harassment comments? They have defined terms of service but rely on user reports where the damage is already done. Why am I even able to make such comments? Maybe it is a hard p

Yep, getting people off Excel for fully packaged software is hard enough.

Wait, who are these people? WYSIWYG App builders have existed for decades and Excel still dominates. Maybe you don't agree, but the main reason for this in my opinion is because these app builders are way too complicated and learning

Didn't Microsoft just release their Airtable competitor? Lists? Did everyone already forget about that? Seems pretty comparable to this Amazon offering other then the mobile UI WYSIWYG builder. They don't push it as an "app

I played the game a lot, before giving up. I played only draft and was pretty good (Mostly infinite and highly ranked). I have two opinions on why the game failed. First, while it was a truly satisfying game and wonderfully complex the ra

The show is great, and it reaching this level of notoriety is amazing. Yet, it just goes to show you how everything is marketing and timing. If this show isn't on HBO, and isn't following the exit of Game of Thrones does it even

Very impressive... but it seems like the AI relies entirely on abusing blink stalkers which with perfect micro is basically impossible to counter. It is no surprise it can crush pros when it has perfect timing and zero mistakes in using th

Very impressed with the bots. The main strategy I see from the bots that is different from pro meta is how they spam abilities aggressively. Now the main limitation is 5 unkillable couriers which enable this. Watching, I do feel like giv

The article doesn't really go into what mafias are actually doing to stay alive. What cyber crimes are the mafias in control of? Are any large "cyber gangs" not connected to local mafias? I have always loved the fantasy of t

I feel like a lot of people would agree with this. It wouldn't stop them from using Facebook though. No one at the fast food line claims it's healthy. Beating akrasia is tough.

Why should we condemn a person for good acts based on previous poor actions? Or are you just so cynical that you can't take his good actions in good faith?

Blood Rage is great, and unlike many games of its kind player interaction and combat actually works.

This is a valid criticism of these types of games, and in worker placement games in general. Most try to get around this by releasing expansions that add more random elements that encourage strategic play more so then just action optimizati

How do things like reaction time, and actions per second work with something like this? Is it just an assumed advantage the ai gets, or does it simulate the limitations of a human? If it doesn't, how big of an advantage is it in an a
