@HonkIfLost @MoneyMacGyver @cptdankkk They all are. It's what makes them likable imo, autists are easy to read.

@MoneyMacGyver @cptdankkk He’s also more than likely on the spectrum

Mark Zuckerberg says he learned to fly helicopters because he was tired of being driven everywhere "You want your car to have almost as much horsepower as your helicopter" "My security team convinced me for 10 years that I should just let them drive me places" "Eventually I was just like, I can't do this. I need the freedom. I need to be able to drive myself" "So I started learning how to fly helicopters... It's a good tool to have in the arsenal"

@chrisstover23 @travelingflying @elonmusk Hollywood has always been sick, it's just gotten worse with time. People going off to "the city" and losing their minds has been something documented for hundreds of years, we're just seeing more extreme forms of it

@travelingflying @elonmusk Is this real? Are u serious a female cos playing as a man. I mean I always like her. Why did she has to mutilate herself. I feel bad for her. To cast her as Achilles? Is this serious?

He actually did the meme 🤣🤣

@baby_scrilla @TheChroNikler The other party encourages people to kill their own babies. That is significantly worse. And it isn’t hard to argue that people aren’t owed anything. That’s been the norm as long as humans lived on this earth.

@TheChroNikler It's hard to argue that the political party whose policy is "if you can't afford your kid's cancern treatment, that really isn't our problem" is morally good.

This is what "making fun of both sides" has always looked like, btw. Lightly jabbing the Left while utterly demonizing the Right. They literally don't have a frame of reference beyond this.

@f00fed @betty_egg @AutismCapital Valve didn’t make CS or Dota, they just acquired the guys who did. And CS at its peak was not free to play.

@betty_egg @AutismCapital Some of the best games are FtP. Dota, CS, Deadlock, etc… pretty much all made by Valve

🚨NEW: Jeff Kaplan, former WoW/Overwatch, with an all time based quote on his new game: "We're too small of a team to be free to play. We would need 8B players and 2000 devs cranking out keychains like a sweatshop, that's not us. I want to do something simple. You just unlock stuff by doing gameplay. It's this crazy idea that hasn't been seen in the last 10 years, playing the game to get shit."

@TheGamingBoa6 @reddit_lies Look at any list of terrible Anakin lines on the internet. He doesn’t speak like a normal human, poor delivery… Ewan also had terrible lines but still carried it. Someone like DiCaprio would’ve been able to pull it off, actors can mitigate a lot of damage from bad writing

@cordlc @reddit_lies What do you mean by strange manner of speaking? Can you give an example?

"You only hate Rey because you're a misogynist"

@PunishedEwiger @TheGamingBoa6 @reddit_lies Voice is not a small matter, every major star actor has a great voice, at minimum. It’s not a coincidence.

@cordlc @TheGamingBoa6 @reddit_lies …that’s it? he had a weird voice?

@wylfcen @a_climacus Where’d you get those IQ numbers from?

@TheGamingBoa6 @reddit_lies He has a bad voice, and/or a strange manner of speaking. It ruins the performance, and much of the trilogy, if I’m honest. Kid Anakin was even worse but he wasn’t as central to the first movie

@reddit_lies I keep seeing people saying Anakin had bad acting and I just want to know why

@AndrewG29922648 @bloomstickiii @AutismCapital Exactly. If we can agree suicide is undesirable, then it’s obvious that making it easily accessible can only be a bad thing. MAID cannot be a free ticket out of life for young, depressed people. That is pure insanity and any victims’ parents would be justifiably infuriated.

@bloomstickiii @AutismCapital For elderly, no issue. For young people the problem is this: normally suicide is difficult, scary, gruesome and has potential to not work, so many hesitate or put it off and later overcome the problem making them want to. When it is easy and painless they don't.

Why is there outrage around this? A persons life is their life to control. If there is a way for them to quietly exit without causing a mess for others, what’s wrong with that? You can say it’s selfish, weak, that they’re leaving behind others, against God’s wishes, etc., whatever value judgement, but at the end of the day it’s their call to make. It’s better that they go like this than remain if they don’t want to and burden others.

@Bigfanofamy1 @Silmarillen @Knightly_Hist @NotCharlestown Was S4 bad? Been a long time since but I only recall S5 being the death of the show for me.

@Silmarillen @Knightly_Hist @NotCharlestown Season 2 is close to as good as season 1 and season 3 is still quite good after that its pure slop for the reddit user / ea sports gamer / marvel enjoyers in your life. Went from a high fantasy show about politicking and intrigue to cgi dragon circle jerk w/ manufactured shock

This only shows that audiences only perceive loss in quality once a show completely falls apart, the decline itself isn't noticed, only it's lack of a satisfying finale. That's pretty depressing ig

@swampratwatch @tiredoctoling @signulll I think it’s obvious to almost everybody that opting for Apple products is not the most practical if you’re only seeking functionality. The point of the OP was you could have products that feel somewhat high end, at reasonable prices. That’s all

@cordlc @tiredoctoling @signulll Sure okay but if you're on a budget and you need the most functionality for the least dollars my point still stands. You're acting like someone who doesn't need to work for a living and who just uses their devices to goof off.

if you’re a college student, you can buy: - macbook neo $499 - ipad air $549 - airpods 4 $99 - iphone 17e $599 for ~$1750 you get a full stack of the latest personal hardware that is capable & powerful for all of your needs. that’s absolutely ridiculous.

@swampratwatch @tiredoctoling @signulll I'm mostly questioning your #2 point (attachment to a device, prioritize functionality), because it's actually an artistic choice, not an IQ thing OS preferences, and even computer language preferences, are a matter of taste. Only the individual can determine the worth of it all

@cordlc @tiredoctoling @signulll When have I ever discounted beauty? I've been a huge music fan my entire life. There's just better ways to be able to listen to music at the same level of quality without overpaying for stuff you don't need.

@swampratwatch @tiredoctoling @signulll Focusing your entire life on efficiency and practicality does not strike me as “high IQ,” not even close. Beauty is important, especially for artistic minds. You’ve discounted it entirely, which is absurd. What are you even making money for?

1. The only scenario where a tablet is ever more useful than a laptop or a PC in any way is if you are doing something that requires the use of a stylus or something like that, which is a very contrived scenario useful to only a small minority of people, and only in very limited scenarios. 2. Having an emotional connection to a device is silly if it doesn't actually have any additional functionality. This is low-IQ cave man thinking and you need to get over it. 3. 99.9% of people won't be able to tell the difference in quality and will be able to listen to music perfectly fine with a very basic android or any other type of laptop. If you absolutely need the decent headphones, you can pay for them by sacrificing the iPad you don't need, and by not overpaying for a smartphone.

@BabaloReda @ywomendeservles 25 to 35 before the age of 20? No way I can believe that’s average even for modern women, that is a ton of guys considering she’s only halfway through college. Absolutely filthy

@JohnRad15 If it were not a "zero sum game" there'd be no reason to bring it up. I'd assume one would cite those numbers because the ratio is a problem. And it's why he followed with, "Extreme wealth inequality plagues our country." My point is that the inequality / ratio doesn't matter.

@cordlc @DogFoodBob47 @johnthenoticer Nope, it does NOT assume wealth is "a zero-sum game" -- it simply does not assume it. The statement about the bottom 50% making 3% of income does not say it's a "zero sum game" at all.

I’d actually love to one day come across a leftist who has solid arguments and is genuinely capable of making me question my own views… but it literally never happens. In like 95% of cases they just parrot the same dumb talking points they’ve heard a hundred times and think are automatically true because of it.

@DogFoodBob47 @johnthenoticer The cheap labor hurts everyone that cannot exploit it (employees). Anyway, 170 million Americans cannot "get ahead" of everyone else, by design. And the effects of technology and globalism cannot be reversed. Which countries are doing so much better than the US now, anyway?

@cordlc @johnthenoticer This is not cheap labor flooding the market, this is 170 million American citizens who basically have nothing and aren’t ever going to get anything. They work hard,play by the rules but aren’t paid enough to ever get ahead. No American dream for them.

@Fearthecow93 @FuckKoroks @franksriracha3 Why pay any attention to mediocre games? There's always been tons of it, which is irrelevant, because all that matters are the ones worth playing. Modern games are not worth playing, because they're very obviously uninspired.

@cordlc @FuckKoroks @franksriracha3 Tell me with sincereness what AAA games are worse than bubsy 3d.

If people buy too much, it’s late stage capitalism If people buy too little, it’s late stage capitalism MAYBE THE GAMES JUST FUCKING SUCK

@death_2_the_jew @LugouLegosi @Rothmus PUBG was absolutely amazing, and it came out 2017. It's the last must-play game I can think of that felt like nothing else before it. Outside of that, everything's been sequels or remixes of older stuff. Almost nothing nowadays created from scratch, it's become a lost art.

@LugouLegosi @Rothmus The only releases worth playing post 2015 are total conversion mods for games you already love

@RP40277 @j_on20 @SandyofCthulhu It's silly to point out at successes as if they're at fault for clones that come after them (except Fortnite, as it's an unoriginal clone itself) The problem is greedy executives / developers that are going after money above all else. In the 90's more people respected the craft

Another multimillion dollar effort that completely flopped. Just a thought but consider a game that doesn’t need banks if servers constantly working to maintain its online presence. I know I’m old and my thinking is old, but 10 years after releasing Age of Empire (the first one) we were still able to keep selling literally a couple hundred or so copies every month. No one had to register online, or have an account, or choose a server. They just bought the game and owned it forever. Then we, at the studio, just kept getting thousands year after year after year from happy fans. Maybe that method of enjoying games is too decrepit & obsolete but man alive it sure doesn’t look like whatever Concord and Highguard did is working either.

@DogFoodBob47 @johnthenoticer This assumes wealth is a zero-sum game. But inequality doesn't matter as long as the numbers at the bottom are improving. Anyways, if there's wealth issues with the middle class, flooding the country with cheap labor only makes things worse than they should be.

@johnthenoticer For every dollar of income earned in the USA the bottom 50% get 3 cents of it. Extreme wealth inequality plagues our country. Solid argument?
