discourse has stirred up re: the latest overwatch patch
OH MY GOD aaahahahaha
aaaaaaa expats were a mistake
aaaaaaa expats were a mistake
The only mainland Chinese guy I know certainly thinks so, what with them not contributing to the national redevelopment.
But setting that aside…
Does this mean Junkmei is confirmed?
As we all know, under the principles of Affirmative Action, Asians, particularly East Asians, are not only white, but whiter than white people, and may in fact be the whitest race in existence.
Thus it is entirely appropriate that the Korean Overwatch character D.Va should receive a skin inspired by an American con artist.

Do you think Reinhardt is broken? I think he is. He gets shit all over by everyone. They need to either give him a speed or damage boost. (Only slight, obviously."
overwatchmemes answered:
He’s pretty much required in every game. He really isn’t underpowered.
No one else can quite do his role. That’s why he ends up in every game.
I have no opinion on whether he’s overpowered.
You will sit on that payload Hana!! and you will enjoy it!! 😤
I just love drawing D.Va and 76 being cute :3
Me, when I spot Zarya coming around the corner.
Anonymous asked:
What do you think is the rationality community's fatal flaw? I want to hear yours before you hear mine, so as not to influence your thinking
argumate answered:
I’m not sure if it makes sense to talk about communities having fatal flaws, and I’m not actually involved in this community, so I couldn’t really say.
Argumate’s too polite, but I’ll give you a flaw, Anon. Right as I’m about to sleep.
There’s sort of a “can’t see the forest for the trees” thing, where they aren’t always modelling the collective effects of individual behavior.
1. Polygamy. A lot of them identify as polyamorous. I wouldn’t be surprised if many of them support legalizing polygamy. However, the effect of a bunch of weird nerds doing this, many of whom are literally some degree of autistic, is very different from what happens if it become normalized at the level of society. Effects like child brides and poor mental health outcomes for women and children.
2. FGM. FGM isn’t the only one like this. The effects of immigration are non-linear, and depend on the cohesiveness and size of the group. If you have no community, you must integrate. That changes at n=2, n=4, n=20, n=150, etc. So it becomes possible for a practice like FGM to reach the US and have an underground ring.
Whatever error is responsible for both of these, that’s the fatal flaw.
is it too much to ask for someone with ideas opposing mine who isn’t horrifically self-righteous or functionally retarded
like I want to expand my horizons but the pool of “cool people with ideas that challenge my worldview” at this point amounts to Michael Tracey and god bless the guy but he’s certainly no intellectual
I’m guessing I don’t count as sufficiently opposed.
I shouldn’t post on so little sleep. The obvious way to take a post of mine wrongly didn’t occur to me until after.
@slartibartfastibast quoting others
“That’s when a friend of mine stumbled over a footnote in an esoteric army report about simulator sickness in virtual environments. Sure enough, military researchers had noticed that women seemed to get sick at higher rates in simulators than men. While they seemed to be able to eventually adjust to the simulator, they would then get sick again when switching back into reality.”
In the future, all women are autistics on testosterone, and the global GDP per capita exceeds $120,000. Conventional gender as we know it has dissolved and been replaced by a neurotype inventory dynamically read from the global hypergrid.
That first bit would affect childbearing.
Does that stat hide a planet full of impoverished depth grovelers mining for nuggets of neoplasm, offset by a small cabal of multi-trillionaires?
Edit: shit, you ninja-edited in another sentence. I do that a lot. Is this hypergrid capable of sustainably manifesting unenumerably vast continuums of juvenile rage and fear?
An astute observation!
Childbearing has been replaced with artificial wombs in order to fine-tune the characteristics of neural development and orientation the future-market (not the same as the “future market”) demands. And yes, the cost of these systems and state-sponsored child raising is reflected in the GDP, and it is quite extensive, though hardly limited to multi-trillionaires.
Those territories with no state-sponsored child raising glitter spectacularly, but of course they are always on the brink of collapse. You know how it is.
As for the hypergrid, it depends on just how deeply you want to entertain the emotions of others in your hardware. I recommend not diving /r90k/. Oneness with the Universe is a little more difficult there.
