Bullshit it's that low. I say this as someone who kept his SSRI induced asexuality to himself for 20 years; I was ashamed and humiliated.

I had three months of fluoxetine, and 20 years damned near asexual. I can't say it helped with the depression - but it sure helped add another layer of shame. Zyban though, somehow that made girls pretty again. And mushrooms dragged me

I bought "Beautiful Katamari" back in the day - $120(NZ) for the imported (same region) copy. Half of the levels on the map were day 1 DLC - individually purchasable if I remember rightly. Excellent game, greedy bastards.

There really has been an influx of low quality comments in the last ~18 months (or perhaps that's just a semi-noob illusion). Either way, your comment really added nothing at all to the discussion - no counter points, just a poorly con

It can't work if you're willing to engage with bad faith players, and are unwilling to call them out for their bullshit. China has been depending on industrial espionage in order to keep up for decades now. Punish them for their m

Genetic risk also depends on locality, since there's significant interplay between skin pigment, light exposure and endogenous vitamin D production (and between locality and light exposure).

Locality is one issue, and the fact that it's significantly less vital means that it's generally not a matter of life and death. As far as doctors bribing water suppliers to get more customers, the law is seldom enough to discoura

For profit might be fine - but for profit masquerading as free simply doesn't seem to work.

When the goals of the customers and the goals of the company are at odds, things will never work out long term. But I disagree that the continuous growth model is the cause, although I certainly believe that it frequently adds fuel to the f

The need to have a for profit platform leads to perverse incentives. This seems to be universally true, and when it becomes apparent that advertising doesn't work and isn't profitable, dark patterns are the best that you can hope

What is it that has managed to convince you that Russian leadership is suicidal?

by yarg 3y ago
The west isn't perfect, but the biggest problem with our narrative regarding Russia and China is that we're compatible enough with authoritarian dictatorships to make economic codependency a viable option. It simply is not the cas

You seem hell bent on asserting some false equivalency between the physical prowess of men and women. What possible reason you'd have for making such patently ridiculous claims is truly beyond me. > So no, I would not say men are &q

by yarg 3y ago
Expected lifespan and the ability to survive dangerous situations are two very different things. If you think for an instant that men and women aren't optimised for very different scenarios, then think harder. Seriously, you can tell j

No, but it designed men with very few compromises (as far as auto-adversarial hill-climbing algorithms go). Women are structured as a compromise between their own needs and the needs of their children.

So agriculture? 10,000 years ago. ~Modern humans have been around 30 times longer than that.

And I think that you're severely underestimating the impact of infrequent existential threats, and how that interplays with slight improvements to fitness compounded over hundreds of thousands of years. In fact, I'm damned near ce

Sorry, I haven't spent any time with LISP. I do however want to write a dialect of it, though mostly for the sake of naming it 'Lithp'.

I've long since stopped giving a shit about other people's opinions, in that and many other regards. But depending on illegal seasonal mushrooms is far from ideal (even if a single dose is three to four months worth of treatment).

You think that we took equal roles in dealing with threats!? The simple truth is that men handled the vast majority of situations where combat was required - we're bigger, stronger, faster, more aggressive. Our aim is better, and (best

Decent indenting generally helps there (and siblings are often of the same type anyway, in which case it doesn't improve indistinguishability). Beyond that syntax highlighting and marcation of the head and tail of the currently selecte

The change I suggested is backwards compatible - probably a relatively small change to a single method in parsing. You, on the other hand, took the pre-existing syntax and contemptuously threw it out the window - and completely ignored the

XML has been around for long enough that a lot of people have developed a tacit understanding of it, it's not reasonable in all cases (I once went to war with an 8000 line build.xml file - fuck everything about that), but for simple ca

There's a whole cavalcade of retrospectively obvious ideas, and this fits rather snugly - it had never occurred to me to use bidirectional improvements via disagreement as a deliberate rather than accidental process. It forces both sid
