Zack's World

@IndieGameJoe Looks sick, strong Celeste vibe

This indie dev is making a precision platformer where you’re a penguin strapped to a soda bottle?! - Hand-pixeled levels set in a soda-centric world - The soda bottle enables dashes, double jumps & speed - Penguin honking It's called Soda-Powered Penguin. This looks so fun lol

@Kmk81975 @bluewmist lol why?

@ZacksWorld @bluewmist “This doesn’t map totally to your prompt…” is one of the best things I’ve read today

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie?

@DesignCodeCo @the_stoic_cult @readswithravi AI slop that degrades this entire platform for a lifetime revenue of something like $4.15 lol...

@the_stoic_cult @readswithravi Wtf is this 🤣

What’s the one book you will never stop recommending?

@AllHailPotat0 @Favwontmiss we live the same life ✌️

@Favwontmiss Mine is similar but musty towels. Imagine thinking you’re clean and being clean, then drying yourself off with a towel that smells musty and moldy but you can’t tell because you’ve been doing that for years. And everyone can smell you but won’t tell you. That’s literal hell.

A permanent fear I have is that my house might smell bad and I wouldn’t know it because I’ve gotten used to the smell.

@SixLasers I read his post at praising the game and 100% positive... What portions do you think are putting the game down?

Why are we incapable of simply praising the things we like without putting down other shit

@GooglyGorilla @MitchStockton @luisjgomez I'm pointing out his false dichotomy, not stating one myself. I would define physical discipline as the infliction of physical pain or physical discomfort in order to discourage behavior. Obviously there are levels to it.

@ZacksWorld @MitchStockton @luisjgomez False dichotomy. People assume hitting your kid is a haymaker. Define physical discipline? Is spanking, an arm pinch, or flick to the ear considered a beating? Bro if my kid is warned to stay on the sidewalk multiple times and doesn't he's getting disciplined every time.

This is retarded. Hitting your kids makes them more likely to be aggressive and more likely to have trouble in school and with the law. Every gang member and person in prison for violence experienced violence in their home. Kids who are raised peacefully are typically from good homes with parents who think about these things.

@thejustinwelsh I treat everyone I meet as if I've already known them for years. Amazing hack for socializing. As it turns out, all it takes for someone to become your friend is for you to treat them like your friend.

The older I get, the more I realize that speaking your mind bluntly and directly is the fastest way to build relationships with the right people.

@baas_joris @joeroganhq I don't know when or how the vaccine is best administered, I just know that a baby can catch Hep B from the mother during childbirth - even if the mother has only a latent infection.

@ZacksWorld @joeroganhq So you mean, new borns should only get it when the mother is tested positive?

Andrew Schulz: "12 hours [after birth] they came into the room and they're like Hepatitis B. They're like, It's a disease that could k*ll your kid... And then I'm like, How do you even get it? And they're like, It's an STD. And I was like, Hold on!"

I think Instagram's only imminent threat, if we had to pick one, is regulation via age-gating it. Instagram isn't for "photography' anymore, hasn't been for a long, long time, and so an incredible image model probably isn't threatening because users don't really care about the images and videos themselves, they care about the people who post the media and what they're communicating through it. AI is actually detrimental to the cause in that sense, because people perceive it as inherently inauthentic and Instagram already has an authenticity problem as indicated by more and more people wake up to how fake people's online personas actually are. Put a little differently, if the images themselves were the core feature of Instagram, your post would effectively render down to "the biggest threat to a thing is a better version of that thing" – an empty truthism.

The biggest threat to Instagram’s moat is an incredible image model.

@DominikFacist @luisjgomez If hitting your child wasn't harmful it wouldn't work. The entire premise of disciplining your kid by hitting them is that you are harming them to teach them a lesson. If you need to read a study to determine whether or not you should beat your kids, you're a lost cause.

@luisjgomez Luis you probably randomly read one study on this 10 years ago and took it as gospel lol there’s many studies that say hitting your child isn’t harmful

No. I’m stating *the fact* that if you spank your children they are more likely to be aggressive and to show anti social behavior. I didn’t make this up. Obviously there is an infinite amount of other things that could contribute to behaviors like this. You are a dumb fuck who is advocating the abuse of children.

@jol420 @MasterC2222 @Dexerto I don't know if you're referring to my comment, but I didn't know if his ethnicity or skin color was mentioned in the book, so I asked (sincerely). I asked here instead of Google so that it becomes part of the discussion. Nothing disengenous on my part 🤷

@ZacksWorld @MasterC2222 @Dexerto What are we doing here why r people fighting back against it so hard because a black actor was picked. It's a race swap.. but they're going far enough to say he was never white to begin with that feels disengenous

HBO says it has a “serious security team” in place after death threats were sent to new Snape actor Paapa Essiedu “People with a lot of opinions, it can get scary in places"

@MasterC2222 @Dexerto You need to find some better places on the Internet my man ✌️

@ZacksWorld @Dexerto Sorry man no one just asks a question in good faith on the Internet anymore

@MitchStockton @luisjgomez You act like you meant this all along despite your tweet implying the choices were either hitting your kid or doing nothing. It's okay to just stop responding when you run out of points; no one will spank you here, be not afraid.

@ZacksWorld @luisjgomez Wait.. you’re saying there’s nuance to raising children?!?

@MasterC2222 @Dexerto I just asked a question, chill bro...

@ZacksWorld @Dexerto Hey buddy, does Grok‘s answer look like this picture to you?

@MitchStockton @luisjgomez There's a lot of shit we did for thousands of years that we now find wrong... And again, you're relying on this false dichotomy that there is only: 1. Hitting your kid 2. Doing nothing / "wagging your finger" There are better ways to do it.

@ZacksWorld @luisjgomez And you really think there’s just punching and beating your kids to a pulp? A slap, a spank and a good talking to straightens out more kids than wagging your finger. Up until 40 years ago, that’s how it was done for thousands of years.

@MasterC2222 @Dexerto Is Snape's ethnicity ever mentioned in the book?

So you mean to tell me HBO put an actor’s life at risk because they had to make a white character black for no reason other than a diversity quota, and now they need to pay for security for him? Damn, if only there was some way we could’ve avoided this entire situation. Maybe they could’ve just had a lore-accurate Snape.

@ceraliza instantly screaming

What’s something that instantly screams low intelligence?

@Mitche11R @luisjgomez Mitch the whole point is that you can teach your child consequences without hitting them.

@luisjgomez Ya ok. You're acting like there isn't a consequence for not teaching your kids consequences. Look at the kids today Luis. They're all little fucked up retarded narcissists. All of them Luis!!

@MitchStockton @luisjgomez Do you really think the only choices for parenthood are hitting your kids or doing nothing? Hitting your kids to discipline them is bad parenting, and it's for parents who don't know how to do their job any better than to be an animal about it.

@luisjgomez If you beat your kids with no control or reasoning and just emotional outbursts then yea… it fucks them up. If it’s controlled, explained punishment and helping show consequences, it just works. Doing nothing and letting demons run free makes society exponentially worse.
