| Topic | Young Ohio Couple APOLOGIZE for causing COVID SUPERSPREADER!! Do you forgive?? |
| Anteaterking 11/18/20 6:24:52 PM #2 | It's a mix, because on one hand absolutely not because they did something stupid, etc. On the other hand I feel like it lets all the people off the hook who did identical things and just happened to luck out and not have an infected guest. --- |
| Topic | Lizzo cries on TikTok: money doesn't buy you fucking happiness |
| Anteaterking 11/18/20 6:16:05 PM #15 | Money has diminishing returns in that someone making $10m is unlikely to be 10x happier than someone making $1m. I'm fortunate enough (as someone who doesn't have kids, etc.) that I make enough money that I never need to look at my checking account to see if I can make a trip home to visit my family over the holidays or go to a restaurant with friends or something. That comfort means a lot. This is the level that we should want people to be at in America through our social safety nets. It doesn't help satisfy more abstract needs like self-achievement, etc. which is why celebrities often are unhappy because the luck based nature of fame often leaves those people chasing highs of achievement that regular people don't have to deal with. --- |

With the nationally depressed turn out among African American voters in 2016, what makes you think Georgia was even remotely in play? --- |

| Anteaterking 11/15/20 10:10:16 PM #29 | K181 posted... For a person supposedly with an eye for talent as his major selling point, kind of odd that literally every ex-member of his administration was apparently a buffoon according to him after the fact. A combination of this and him repeatedly hiring "deep state" people who then shockingly "betray" him. --- |
| Topic | What would Donald Trump's DnD stats be? |
| Anteaterking 11/15/20 8:50:41 PM #12 | pegusus123456 posted... Ya'll are underestimating his charisma score. Charisma in D&D isn't just how adept you are at talking, it's essentially the force of your personality. Trump is a fucking gremlin, but he definitely has force of personality. But doesn't it still have something to USE the force of your personality? Like even when it comes to non-good speakers, I still think of charisma in DnD as being someone who could convince a crowd to join their side, not just play well to a crowd who was already on their side. --- |

| Anteaterking 11/12/20 5:33:19 PM #88 | There's some wiggle room here between "not very consensual" and "rape". The original person is being hyperbolic, but lying to people to get sex is super scummy. --- |

| Anteaterking 11/11/20 6:56:08 PM #103 | One_Day_Remains posted... Uh, yes. It is a glaring flaw. While I think that "It's designed, therefore it's not a flaw" isn't completely valid as an argument, "privacy options for posts" is something that has pros AND cons, so treating it like a flaw is dumb. This isn't "We store your passwords in plaintext". --- |

| Topic | Reminder, Mitch McConnell will still be the senator majority leader... |
| Anteaterking 11/11/20 11:49:54 AM #17 | DarkChozoGhost posted... 2 of the democrats are technically independents. Mitch will be the majority leader even if both Georgia seats go blue and Harris breaks the tie for democrats Harry Reid was Majority Leader from 2007-2009 even though Dems had less than 50 seats, because they had two caucusing independents, so if it's a (48+2) - 50 split, McConnell will not be majority leader. --- |

| Anteaterking 11/08/20 2:22:26 PM #42 | Tyranthraxus posted... Artificial difficulty is really only things that hinder the ability to play the game. Tbh I don't think that's the standard definition and I'm not sure where you're getting it from. --- |

| Anteaterking 11/08/20 2:18:49 PM #21 | Evening_Dragon posted...
It's not *just* that, there's also the (I think accurate) assessment that the actual upside of letting people who are considering self harm suss it out with strangers online is low. Like I think if it was actually beneficial, the calculus might change. --- |

He's so infamous that here we speak of him when he's not even around. Sigh... Who fucking cares? Don't worry about "giving attention to people". --- |
| Topic | Artificial difficulty is such a dumb term. |
| Anteaterking 11/08/20 12:29:13 PM #18 | scar the 1 posted... To be fair, just cranking up the numbers can result in a pretty substantial difficulty increase. Depending on how the game is balanced, it can mean the difference between bypassing difficult obstacles by one-shotting enemies, and routing completely differently to avoid attacks, etc. It's not necessarily cheap at all. Yeah, there are certainly some "resource management" type things that change when you increase the numbers. For example, if you double all the Mega Man X bosses health you have to start using buster strats rather than just special weapon weaknesses. I think the places where I think artificial difficulty come up are games where "Do this thing 5 times in a row" becomes "Do this thing 10 times in a row". Is the second more difficult? Sure. But it's not requiring more advanced tactics or anything, it's just increasing the chance that you mess up the old tactics. --- |

| Topic | Are you capable of separating the art from the artist? |
| Anteaterking 11/08/20 12:11:28 AM #23 | Generally separating art from the artist means that I still enjoy things that they made in the past, but I don't support future projects from them, etc. There are occasionally situations where the offenses are egregious enough or contradictory enough to their persona that I can't even do that though tbh. --- |
| Topic | Do you 100% believe Trump will go down in history as one of the absolute worst? |
| Anteaterking 11/07/20 3:05:46 PM #6 | People are going to say "no because GWB's reputation was improved because of Trump" but consciously or not, people care less about foreigners losing their lives than they do other Americans, so for most of America the failed COVID response combined and Trump's clear personality flaws being the cause will outweigh things like the Iraq War. --- |
