That’s not what I am saying, I am just saying this strategy has obvious flaws like organized groups of militants being mostly aware of who belongs to them and who doesn’t

More likely the protesters as soon as this is tried with a group of ice agents that actually know each other

No. You are thinking about cryptographic hashes, there are locality based hashes that give you a kind of similarity metric

The ouroborus will remember that

I don’t think I can even imagine what a society that has an average age of 25 even looks like.

Right? No woke solar bullshit in my dystopian surveillance systems! I demand the oppression be powered by coal so the blackened skies can match the over all tone of the world

Wait till they find out that some cultures didn’t have separate words for green and blue

As someone who started with DS2 and it also being one of my first ever titles it will ever have a special place in my heart.

1 and 3 were okay in my experience. 1 because it was a bit old and clunky, 3 because it was just a bit mid all around. If this new title goes back to the roots I’m not going to be mad about it!

Uhm, the USA doesn’t recognize the ICC

Get it up soldier, we’ve got a session to goon

Right? Asking the “normals” to just accept a bit of weirdness and effort when interacting with you that’s suddenly way too much to ask and you should really consider just being more mindful of them.

As long as the default recommendation is to use authenticator apps on your main device I’ll see this as a “could be good if implemented correctly, which it isn’t, so it isn’t good”

This. This so much. Password+Totp based login is just two passwords where one is more annoying to use.

The state sactioned date-nights will continue until morale improves!

A lot of people are and it’s a growing disease in online communities. It’s doubly bad because firstly it drains energy and it makes engaging with actually well intentioned but disagreeing people a lot harder because you are always expecting to just waste your energy

Tbh after the comment with the ft links I was 50/50 on this just being an AI bot. I am very susceptible to getting sealioned this way

I fully agree but I can’t help myself and have to make this nitpick:

Replacing workers could be the best thing ever if we had a better system to distribute the results of work being done.

Just because I am not totally conviced you are in fact a troll I just want to explain to you why I don’t find what you are saying very convincing.

The original top comment of this thread said:

Proud of extorting the whole world for centuries for our wealth? No, thank you

You then went ahead and said this:

If you think that what people living here 500 years ago did is a reason for us to feel bad, then you need therapy.

This showed to me, that you think extortion of wealth from all over the world is a thing we stopped 500 years ago. This is wrong on a number of levels, not the least is, that the original colonial age is decidedly less than 500 years ago. The USA is just close to 250 years old.

In response to that honestly already troll-like twisting of reality I just said:

If you think we have stopped extracting wealth from other countries you are the insane one

You then acknowledged that we didn’t in fact stop 500 years ago (rendering you first comment completely invalid) but then went ahead and tried to excuse that with this:

Compare us to any other continent or country and not some ideal, imagined perfection. The UAE, China, Russia, the USA…

If you think we’re bad and exploit people, I suppose we should replicate the approach of one of those countries, right? Then we will stop exploitation, wars, everything bad in general and become better people! Is that what you believe?

Never did I mention any of these countries, never did I claim that anyone did a better or worse job. I just maintained that we did not stop extorting money from other countries to benefit our own. Which I expressed thusly:

If your whole argument is “we cant be bad people because look at these even worse people” then I have nothing more to say to you. There will always be someone more stinky than you. Doesn’t mean you’re clean.

You then went ahead with a baffling try to convince me with a list of paywalled financial times arcticles that for some reason only pertain to anti-climate-change measures. Giving you the benefit of the doubt one could interpret this as connecting the fight against climate change with the unjust effects it has on the global south that is typically a target for our extortionism. But that would really need a mention from you. The way you put this it is way too removed to support your claim of us “doing better” with extorting money from other countries for out benefit. Again, you also list articles showing how other counties are doing bad shit.

I’m not even going to explain to you, that everyone can collect 7 positive and 4 negative articles about any country. Trying to paint a picture like this is childish at best. Convincing: not so much.

Anyways, thanks for indulging me in a lesson on how to earlier detect bullshit and disengage.

Yeah that’s right, calling yourself the best and ignoring glaring structural exploitation of others will surely lead us to stop doing that

If you think we’re bad and exploit people, I suppose we should replicate the approach of one of those countries, right? Then we will stop exploitation, wars, everything bad in general and become better people! Is that what you believe?

If your whole argument is “we cant be bad people because look at these even worse people” then I have nothing more to say to you. There will always be someone more stinky than you. Doesn’t mean you’re clean.
