Fella, the stuff Gen Z struggles with is the light switch.

No hate, I’m just surprised. I’ve legitimately never not had a game work so far, and most people I know only seem to have issues on games with anti-cheat.

Doesn’t mean I don’t believe you though, I just might have horseshoes in my ass, such that I somehow have only played games that are largely compatible without issues.

I am curious what games had issues for you though.

Not holding my breath until all appeals get denied

The problem with having reasonable and respectful discourse with people you disagree with, is that you first have to find people willing to have reasonable and respectful discourse. In real life I’ve met plenty. On Twitter, there are none. They’re mostly just in getting a rise out of libs and lefties. We’ve already been finding that disengaging with them and moving to a platform they don’t have influence over has made them a lot more impotent.

They said that in 2016 too after rigging things against populist grassroots candidates in favour of establishment Democrats and learned nothing.

I think going from the relatively peaceful period of the 90s in the west to living through the Bush administration, 9/11, racist fear mongering and alarmism over terrorism, mass erosion of rights and privacy, jingoism and wars in the Middle East under false pretenses, the Bush adminstration’s connections with the military-industrial complex getting exposed, seeing stuff like Fox News, Glenn Beck, and Bill O’Reilly start to mindrot the boomer generation into unrecognizable husks of their former selves, the 2008 market crash due the effects of all the failed conservative economic policies and deregulation that occured the past few decades — coloured Gen Xers’ and Millennials’ perspectives in a way that I imagine would be difficult for Gen Z to grasp.

They have no point of reference to see how badly things changed under the Republican party because they already grew up in the shit, and due to Republican obstructionism they may think that it’s Democrats faults because Obama and Biden were in the White House, but much of the fixing actually needs to happen in the house. But even that may not be enough because of the partisan Supreme Court.

And honestly, in a case of a lot of cis Gen Z boys who’ve been sucked into some shoddy conservative ideas, I feel like we failed them if guys like Andrew Tate, Trump, and other such garbage heaps of human beings were the ones getting through to them.

Outside of a few small local businesses that actually care about doing right by people, loyalty hasn’t mattered for decades dude. Companies don’t give a shit about any of us. Why even bother thinking in terms of loyalty, it’s completely misaligned with how they operate.

Are there modded clients for mobile?

The more people get into it the less valuable it becomes is the thing. But others pointed out there’s a ton of other reasons it’s problematic, like the need for those other jobs to exist to actually, like, have a functioning society.

My high school never had math competitions so I’ll never know how I’d do. :(

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

Is the AI open source? Curious what you’re using and what your experiences with it are.

You’ll call a Phillips a Phillips but not a Robertson a Robertson or an Allen an Allen, smh

And trying to get by on a single income is a fucking nightmare for a lot of people.

In-spite of its potential for liberation and independence.

When it shows that potential, maybe more people will get on board. Until then there are a host of problems that make a ton of people not want to touch it including but not limited to:

• a) Capitalists and scammy chucklefucks are already exploiting it the way they do with traditional currencies, except in sometimes new creative ways because of either the lack of regulations or because the technology inherently makes it impossible to trace. I don’t see that changing in a fully crypto world either, because people are always going to need financial services like loans and insurance on their savings and the banks will always have the imbalance of power.

• b) The currencies mostly benefit people with a ton of capital to handle consensus, which further entrenches the power imbalance found in (a).

• c) Insane amounts of resources are needed to reach consensus in a way that is not good at all for the environment. Sure we already use a lot of power to make our society run. But crypto is asking for more ON TOP of that, compounding the issues.

• d) Relying solely on crypto leaves people destitute if their wallets got hacked.

• e) Chucklefucks are using the technology to commodify and break the best part of the digital world which is the ability to have bit for bit reproducible copies of information.

Fix all of that and you surely would get people on board but I have yet to hear compelling solutions by cryptobros.

True but sometimes the tortilla rips open and the foil provides solid backup

It’s simultaneously possible to realize that something is useful while also recognizing the damage that its trend is causing from a sustainability standpoint, and that neither realization particularly demonstrates a lack of understanding about AI.
