  • That’s because Huffman doesn’t believe that ongoing community is his ticket to millions. He believes selling data to ai learning programs is. They don’t need continuing users for that when they’re sitting on almost two decades of content.

    Just look at the actual actions of the admins. They’re removing mods for privatizing subs. They’re restoring erased content. They’re shadow banning comments critical of the system. They’re forcefully reverting changes to sub rules.

    They aren’t trying to get 20 million from the likes of a 500k/year company like Apollo, they’re trying to get 20 million from billionaire companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc. that are maybe more willing to shell out that kind of money for an emerging technology. Killing third party apps wasn’t their goal, it was just an incredibly unpopular but necessary side effect because those apps use the same api that ai learning programs do.


  • It’s fairly dnd like. I’d say more so than most games, with the Stat and feat system, combined with the ability to interact with the environment to such an intricate degree. Also like dnd, you have room to be insanely creative in the way you handle problems, and there are a ton of little interactions between items that the game doesn’t outright explain for you. As well as a fairly developed crafting system. Your decisions really matter quite a bit in this game too.

    Start with Divinity original sin 2. It’s by far the most expansive and polished. You don’t need to know anything about it to jump in. It’s really only a sequel in that it takes place in the same world as the first one.



  • Do you understand how ridiculous it sounds when you say “a gender dysphoria concept that has been around for hundreds of years is fake because colleges need to reprint books”?

    This is the very essence of a disingenuous argument. A book does not dictate the absolute meaning of a concept, and likewise the motivation of printing a book does not invalidate the information therein.


  • That’s a pretty absurd notion.

    Let’s do a mental exercise based on your assertion:

    You identify as a man. You were born a man and have always outwardly displayed masculine characteristics. You are in a room with 100 people, and they collectively decide against your will that you are a masculine female and treat you as such.

    Are you now a girl because the collective has decided that? Or are you still a man because that’s what you have always identified as?

    Before you say “100 people does not make a society,” the number of people who decide that is irrelevant. Additionally, the reason ‘why’ they decide you are female is also, according to your logic, irrelevant. It just matters that they all agree.

    You still think that gender is imposed on you by society?
