HXX

The data I sent you does illustrate my point, but I guess you don't really care about any research that doesn't align with your internet debates. Separately, I'm starting to feel like you're bad faith and refuse to engage with any points that you don't like to hear. So again, when *I* talk about the kind of "societal trust" I value, I'm talking about things like crime, safety, cleanliness, and general experience when out in public, e.g., are people going to rob me, are sales people going to run up to me in a grocery store and ask me invasive questions about which phone carrier I'm using, is it safe to walk around almost everywhere at all times, etc. etc. If you can acknowledge that there are these categories of things that you can experience, and that THEY ARE DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT PLACES. Playing dumb semantic games about arbitrary definitions of "trust" are stupid, I don't trust you with my banking details and social security number, but I trust you not to rob me on public transportation.

@NotAttained That data illustrates my point; if it was data there would be signal. But when you reduce a billion data points to a single number you get noise. Wow you lived in so many places and you learnt nothing. You're still like any other naive American.

Since the dude blocked me. No. You're completely missing the point. "JaPaN iS hIgH trUsT" is a bad analysis since there's enormous material differences. In both countries you can have diametric opposite situations and "high trust" has no role in it. x.com/i/status/20486…

Your analysis was so good you had to go back on your own numbers, then you had to pick the weakest data possible to corroborate your "views". And you haven't even lived in other countries? I'm telling you that you're actually being childish, you are just pontificating from afar, I have lived in over a dozen countries for at least 1 year+ spanning 3 continents. You don't actually know anything about what it feels like to live in any of these places, you're a tourist at best.

@NotAttained Essentially your analysis is shit. There's zero value to it.

But as a separate response, you are massively cherry picking poor data with poor testing. "When available, we consider “Don’t know” and “No answer” to be valid response categories and include them in percentage calculations. “Missing” responses, however, are excluded from the set of possible answers." Is a vague and horrible metric to gauge what something as nuanced as "trust" means. But to be clear, if it maybe helps you more, *myself* and most people when speaking generally, are just talking about general safety and pleasantness expected from the people in your society. If you feel unpleasant or endangered in any kind of way (as a human from this planet you presumably know what I'm talking about), that is a knock on the environment you're in. And bringing this back, this was all a vague analogy about massive sites on the internet today, which is actually (again) an apt comparison. I don't think I'm engaging with good faith people most of the time. This website is full of slop for engagement, spam for engagement, ragebait for engagement, etc. The sentiment (I don't want to speak for him but I'll guess) is that he wishes the internet broadly was a place where people were having good faith, intelligent discussions about things. You can find pockets of this if you search hard enough, but most of social media is diluted into pure garbage if you don't work very hard on removing bad curation from your algorithms.

@NotAttained Yes, I do. Yet, talking about USA as similar to Japan because both have similar trust isn't very meaningful, is it?

@bernielomax I don't know if you know this or not, but the USA is actually *not* France. Random thing to bring up... That's like me saying Norway is higher trust than the USA randomly, which is actually true! You live in Norway, don't you?

@NotAttained Okay I should have specified even closer here, where i said i read wrong. x.com/i/status/20486…

@bernielomax Ohh, this one doesn't show France ahead of Japan :(

@NotAttained And i used this.. It's such vague pieces of data to try defining whole countries with. It's a form of nationalist pop-psychology that Americans especially partake in. You said "high-trust" but you actually meant "low perception of crime". ourworldindata.org/grapher/self-r…

@bernielomax pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…

@NotAttained Sorry, I read wrong. But with 26% Vs 34% there's not an enormous difference. That still puts Japan below USA (37%) and so on. There are completely different factors at play, and they aren't tied to nationality. It's simply reading tea leaves.

He blocked me so I can't respond but lol: github.com/id-Software/DO… Guess John Carmack's writings on why you want longer files and why you might want to inline functions instead of abstracting everything don't mean much to legendary programmers like alkimiadev. Thank god you were there to steer us away from the teachings of crappy programmers like Carmack! Phew that was close, almost ended up becoming more mediocre myself!

@alkimiadev @JaidCodes It’s hard to imagine because you are a perennially mediocre programmer.

Thought this was an overly harsh response to someone who asks for permission to work for free. Then I looked into the PRs attached to the application. Bless Mitchell’s soul.

Which countries have you lived in? You still haven't answered, and the comparison was still apt. In Japan I can go outside and I don't have to worry about walking through garbage, I don't have to worry about someone pulling a knife on me, I don't have people running up to me yelling random things or trying to scam me/rob me/pickpocket me, I don't have to worry about people pissing in the metro, I don't have to worry about leaving my car doors unlocked, or my house unlocked. The main social media platforms on the internet broadly are much more similar to living in what's colloquially termed a "shithole". However you want to play semantic games, you understand what people are saying. I don't "trust" people the same way in certain countries as I do in others, and that goes for strangers and neighbors alike.

@NotAttained Second, generalising whole countries around such badly defined terms is just bad language. So that he attracts a dude posting essentially a "joke threat" because I'm European shoes what sort of audience this sort of dumb takes attract.

@bernielomax Ok, show me the data that shows France is more high trust than Japan.

@NotAttained High trust means whether you trust other people. This has been surveyed in many countries, and compared to most France is more high trust than Japan. But you seem to fill it with completely arbitrary meanings.

I would like to see you attempt at quantifying all aspects of "high trust" between the two countries instead of just claiming things. Unlike you, I have lived in *many* countries, and I regret to inform you that nobody in Japan has ever attempted to pickpocket/rob me, but in Paris on the metro I have seen it and experienced it first hand many times. And I wouldn't even rate it as an unsafe city compared to some other places in Europe and SA. All I'm saying is, if you don't feel like you can leave your doors unlocked, or if you drop your wallet will it get returned to you, or when you walk down the street at night and see some dudes standing around how safe do you feel walking past them vs taking a detour, or will someone be violent in public, can you trust people not to litter, what are the odds that people will make your interaction in public unpleasant, etc. Those are all real metrics that you can live and experience. What countries have you lived in, seriously?

@NotAttained The pop perception, where people assume Japan is high trust because children can go to school by themselves (which they also do in France). Attempts at quantifying will put France above Japan.

@bernielomax @rfleury @MagickPorro You're better at what? You literally are ignoring the main point, BROADLY in Japan it is safer and higher trust, instead of making retarded tweets, why don't you show us some actual data. Is crime lower in Paris than in Tokyo? I don't even have to look it up to know the answer.

@rfleury @MagickPorro More nonsense. People don't visit Paris for spam either. Yet Japan isn't a place without annoying commercials, grafitti, people trying to sell you stuff. Your take is off for non-americans since you're peddling assumptions. Do things right. I'm better at this than you.

On the deletion of accounts

Pretty sure there are starter kits that you can "docker compose up -d --build" that would be faster than AI, and if you've used them before you don't have to comb through the mountain of mediocre code to vet it (which you have to do every time AI generates a bunch of code for you), not to mention I doubt you clowns even go replace AI generated "secrets". The future is going to be a field day for hackers.

@rfleury @GrizzledTexan So does this mean you are conceding on the "two minutes of regular coding" thing or are is Larry full of shit?

Best anti-AI case I’ve possibly seen so far

@ImperialHal @ZuniUK “If” isn’t that what you did?

@ZuniUK If it’s so OP just swap

The gap between controller and MNK has doubled with newer controller hardware being released, seriously considering swapping soon - MNK feels like beating a dead horse🫥

I mean, in 6s he appears as people mains in the top ranks at a 9.5x higher than random selection, and 5s tank role he is still represented 3.5x higher than 1:14 in the highest ranks, which is what you would expect if all the tanks were balanced. The reality is, he *can* be countered, but it has to be a conscious choice + people have to not ban some of his counters. My argument is that it's poor game design in the first place to be like "oh they have hero X, so sometimes (multiple people even) we have to swap so we don't get rolled". I mean my stance in general is much more severe than even that, I would remove Roadhog, Doomfist, Genji, Moira, Winston, Vendetta and every other high value, low skill hero in the game. I don't even think they qualify as "movement" heroes when the movement is trivial compared to any game with real movement (e.g., quake, tf2, apex legends), it's not a "skill" to press a movement button and then to have really easy to land skills and abilities once you press LShift or w/e. If those heroes must exist for accessibility reasons, they should be completely non-viable against any of the cast that has a hard aim requirement at a high level (one of the only mechanical skills you can express in this game). The inverted belief that heroes Winston has hard requirements on "positioning" are asinine, he has much more frequent movement and much easier escapes than other more stationary heroes. If you *don't* have movement & escape abilities you have to be hyper aware of where to stand and how to predict dives and use terrain ahead of time. On top of that, heroes like that usually have a hard aim requirement, sometimes even requiring landing a lot of headshots to secure kills in high rank games.

@NotAttained @DoctorMadrid10 @OWCavalry Then why is hog not meta? If it's SO strong and broken

New #Overwatch Balance Changes 🛠️ 🐽 Roadhog Chain Hook: → Cooldown reduced from 8 to 7 seconds. 👾 Sombra Stealth: → Movement speed bonus reduction while revealed by damage reduced from 50% to 33%. 🐺 Vendetta General: → Health increased from 175 to 200. (Total health increased from 250 to 275.) ⛓️ Mizuki Katashiro Return: → Enemies can no longer prevent Mizuki from recalling by standing on Katashiro Return's starting point. What do you think of the changes? 💭

Are you implying that having an easy to land giant hitbox ability on a 7 second cooldown that can kill most of the cast in 1 shot if they are within 20 meters, and even those it doesn't kill get displaced so badly they are almost guaranteed to die. Secondly, a lot of heroes have dmg fall off starting at 25 meters, you also walk backwards more slowly than hog can walk forward, so you are either doing less damage, or you are somehow taking a couple burst shots perfectly within that 21-24 meter range(lol good luck) then turning your back to enemies so you can stay out of hook range (lol). It's just awful design through and through, it's way too strong of an ability to exist, even on a 15 second cooldown, let alone 7. Vendetta and Sombra are also two of the most poorly designed heroes in the history of hero shooters, their kits (like hog's) are extremely easy to master and their abilities are easy to land, and they just result in a generally unfun experience for their opponents.

@OWCavalry I absolutely hate seeing people on both Twitter and Reddit whining about Hog just because they don't know how to play Ana.

I’ve been GM every season I’ve played, none of those heroes need buffs, in fact they are all horribly designed and unfun to fight against. It’s like they’re randomly in competition with Marvel Rivals to make their game as horrible as possible. If they were nerfed to a 0% pick rate it would be a great day for the game

@OWCavalry People mad about hog. He isn't even picked most of the time from the playerbase. His kit is outdated and rolls over quickly. We can use every buff we can get for both Hog and Vendetta. Sombras buff is good. Yall need to get better at the game instead of trying to banning her.

@gordonlyon I've been waiting years for the next one...
