Yeah but now they have access to the internet and social media at the age of 3 and then base their values on douchebags with exotic cars and women, or women who shake their ass for clout.

yeah yeah for you guys it was shit like rap music but no it's totally the new ones who are uniquely influenced.

LMFAO how did Millenials learn NOTHING from Boomer-ism. At this rate you guys are gonna be the next wealth-hoarding environment destroyers (assuming there's any world left by then)

I never played Dragonborn. Did they acknowledge the stuff about the ministry of truth crashing or the red mountain erupting? I'm pretty sure that was originally in like companion novels to the series

I forgot how many hard fans of TFC were on CE. I'm not knocking it, frankly it was before my time. But you still surely gotta recognize the marvel of the uniting of TF2's stunning visual identity with its gameplay and sound design.

As a zoomer, I can say the 80s game that holds up the best is Mike Tyson's Punch Out. That game is literally as playable and fun today as it was then.

For the SNES, Super Metroid has barely aged a day.

Every class/hero shooter to come out since is less fun.

The absolute worst change has been the e-sports team focus to bring team size down from 12v12 to 6v6. Even TF2 devs were guilty of chasing this idea with the Gun Mettle update and making no-fun-allowed balancing changes focused on that.

That sounds like he couldn't have been past the age of like 6 if that even happened (probably him larping)

He clearly loves the amount of attention he gets from ce and will say things to increase it

This has been out for a month and this is the first I've heard about it. Did it not spread as much as it should or are we collectively numbed to game feats?

Blindfold runs aren't new anymore.

Don't want to say the specific word because mods are so trigger happy recently. But anyway even though I have my internship at this fortune 500 I guess I'm frustrated with my home life because I have to be living with my parents again for access to the job. My dad criticizes me for eating fast food but then he and my mom don't cook dinner or get groceries so what am I supposed to do? My mom has always chastised me for being fat even though I grew up fat due to the environment they made (they're fat too of course). And my cat got crushed by the garage so I don't have him anymore. My room is always ten degrees hotter than the rest of the house and some days i sweat while just sitting there. And finally the internet connection is terrible here so it's hard to do so little as even play jackbox with my friends through discord.

It's not a metaphor, the brain computes things, it is a computer.

might want to check that your humors are balanced, bro

https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-empty-brain

I need to be clear: computers really do operate on symbolic representations of the world. They really store and retrieve. They really process. They really have physical memories. They really are guided in everything they do, without exception, by algorithms.

Humans, on the other hand, do not never did, never will. Given this reality, why do so many scientists talk about our mental life as if we were computers?

In his book In Our Own Image (2015), the artificial intelligence expert George Zarkadakis describes six different metaphors people have employed over the past 2,000 years to try to explain human intelligence.
In the earliest one, eventually preserved in the Bible, humans were formed from clay or dirt, which an intelligent god then infused with its spirit. That spirit explained our intelligence grammatically, at least.

The invention of hydraulic engineering in the 3rd century BCE led to the popularity of a hydraulic model of human intelligence, the idea that the flow of different fluids in the body the humours accounted for both our physical and mental functioning. The hydraulic metaphor persisted for more than 1,600 years, handicapping medical practice all the while.

By the 1500s, automata powered by springs and gears had been devised, eventually inspiring leading thinkers such as Ren Descartes to assert that humans are complex machines. In the 1600s, the British philosopher Thomas Hobbes suggested that thinking arose from small mechanical motions in the brain. By the 1700s, discoveries about electricity and chemistry led to new theories of human intelligence again, largely metaphorical in nature. In the mid-1800s, inspired by recent advances in communications, the German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz compared the brain to a telegraph.

Each metaphor reflected the most advanced thinking of the era that spawned it. Predictably, just a few years after the dawn of computer technology in the 1940s, the brain was said to operate like a computer, with the role of physical hardware played by the brain itself and our thoughts serving as software. The landmark event that launched what is now broadly called cognitive science was the publication of Language and Communication (1951) by the psychologist George Miller. Miller proposed that the mental world could be studied rigorously using concepts from information theory, computation and linguistics.

This kind of thinking was taken to its ultimate expression in the short book The Computer and the Brain (1958), in which the mathematician John von Neumann stated flatly that the function of the human nervous system is prima facie digital. Although he acknowledged that little was actually known about the role the brain played in human reasoning and memory, he drew parallel after parallel between the components of the computing machines of the day and the components of the human brain.

Propelled by subsequent advances in both computer technology and brain research, an ambitious multidisciplinary effort to understand human intelligence gradually developed, firmly rooted in the idea that humans are, like computers, information processors. This effort now involves thousands of researchers, consumes billions of dollars in funding, and has generated a vast literature consisting of both technical and mainstream articles and books. Ray Kurzweils book How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed (2013), exemplifies this perspective, speculating about the algorithms of the brain, how the brain processes data, and even how it superficially resembles integrated circuits in its structure.

The information processing (IP) metaphor of human intelligence now dominates human thinking, both on the street and in the sciences. There is virtually no form of discourse about intelligent human behaviour that proceeds without employing this metaphor, just as no form of discourse about intelligent human behaviour could proceed in certain eras and cultures without reference to a spirit or deity. The validity of the IP metaphor in todays world is generally assumed without question.

But the IP metaphor is, after all, just another metaphor a story we tell to make sense of something we dont actually understand. And like all the metaphors that preceded it, it will certainly be cast aside at some point either replaced by another metaphor or, in the end, replaced by actual knowledge.

Just over a year ago, on a visit to one of the worlds most prestigious research institutes, I challenged researchers there to account for intelligent human behaviour without reference to any aspect of the IP metaphor. They couldnt do it, and when I politely raised the issue in subsequent email communications, they still had nothing to offer months later. They saw the problem. They didnt dismiss the challenge as trivial. But they couldnt offer an alternative. In other words, the IP metaphor is sticky. It encumbers our thinking with language and ideas that are so powerful we have trouble thinking around them.

The faulty logic of the IP metaphor is easy enough to state. It is based on a faulty syllogism one with two reasonable premises and a faulty conclusion. Reasonable premise #1: all computers are capable of behaving intelligently. Reasonable premise #2: all computers are information processors. Faulty conclusion: all entities that are capable of behaving intelligently are information processors.

Setting aside the formal language, the idea that humans must be information processors just because computers are information processors is just plain silly, and when, some day, the IP metaphor is finally abandoned, it will almost certainly be seen that way by historians, just as we now view the hydraulic and mechanical metaphors to be silly.

The article goes into more detail about the problems with the brain-computer comparison and I highly recommend you give this a read. Whether you accept or reject the ideas I think it's super fascinating and the author is well spoken. This topic interests me in particular because I had a high school class about the history of human relations with animals where one topic was Descartes' asserted difference between human and animal machines, which was basically that human machines also had a non-tangible soul element inside them (wow great theory dude).

If it can't be destroyed by card effects or by battle, how do you get rid of it? In MTG, if you had a card that had protection from everything (like Progenitus), you could still use non-targeting sacrifice effects, at least. Maybe some type of bounce (return to hand) option?

Number 86 is permabanned. It'd be one thing if he required a typing that was hard to work around, like uh Wyrm maybe, but Warrior is super common with great generic search and summoning support. The best way to beat him is to stop him from ever hitting the board using your disruption.

His mother named Forrest after their ancestor Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Scotch-Irish American and a noted Confederate general in the American Civil War and the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. She intended his name to be a reminder that "sometimes we all do things that, well, just don't make no sense".

despite the racial stereotype, i don't really see anything inherently racist about a fruit or any kind of food. if it's a specific dish, that's one thing, but it's just a fruit that grows in multiple parts of the world in various ways. it's really not that bad.

It's not inherently racist to serve a watermelon salad but it is pretty dumb to serve a "Juneteenth Watermelon Salad".

I went there for a class about literature of adulthood in college

They're making no criminal referals so it's literally LARP. Respecting a process that yields no results is actually worse because it just becomes circus to trick people into thinking there's consequences to this country's mass corruption. I refuse to pretend these larpers are fighting for democracy or whatever when their inaction will be the cause of the Jan 6th perpetrators actually benefitting in Congress.

I believe this is the best game ever made.

unless you're black. Because Juneteenth is specifically about enslaved Black people learning about their freedom.

What does CE think of this?

Yknow why didn't he become a prosecutor, since in the AAverse prosecutors are way more renowned.

What should happen is that we focus on developing the alternatively-powered vehicles we already have to be better and more widely available as well as affordable, and trying to find all-new methods of transportation that don't cause as much harm.

People aren't going to switch without incentive to. There's a reason we've used gas, it works really well.

Look you can say all you want how paying more for gas hurts people's wallets, obviously that's true, but whats that compared to the billions of people living on the equator who are going to become climate refugees if there's no direct funded action against global warming? The first world needs to take responsibility for its oversized carbon footprint.

Respectfully stop talking. That exact line of reasoning is why gas prices are so high in the first place.

Seems like pretty good line of reasoning. Policy should punish inefficiencies like suburbs far from work centers, the people partaking in that should pay the real cost of the luxury.

If fuel companies lower them, the government should institute taxes putting them back to $5+. People should feel the impact that locomotion has on climate change in their wallets. Basically fuel should be treated like cigarette taxes.

I thought I was missing something fundamental against it but I was watching a Brian_F video and he did exactly what happens to me online: he got a single jab in neutral and then all his V Trigger junk started hitting the opponent and it ended up a combo worth like 80% of the opponent's health bar.

So, what balances Oro's ability to do that?
