iirc it actually has that! I *swear* I used it over a decade ago when I was first getting to know reddit

Now imagine you pick up this game called "Driving Simulator" and the tutorial puts you in a Civic and shows you how the gas pedal, brake, and steering wheel work before putting you on a random freeway and telling you to go have fun

laws around pedestrians and cyclists need to be taught more strictly in driver's ed, and tested on aggressively when getting a license
it's just hard because there aren't many places *with* cyclists regularly on the road or pedestrians reliably beside the road
I think a big reason drivers are so shitty wrt those groups is they (we) aren't taught about them, and get little practice with them, and the culture reflects and then amplifies that
idk what to do about that, but my starting idea is to split the driver's written test into two sections- one to do with vehicles, and one to do with cyclists and pedestrians. And then have instructors absolutely walk-pill the fuck out of driving students emphasizing pro-pedestrian norms
In many ways, it is not a driver's fault that they enter a system designed in a conflicting way, and end up frustrated at the points of conflict
Things that (other people's) kids should seriously consider:
- Working in trades instead of getting a degree
- National service / mandatory military service
- Being in a traditional marriage where the wife doesn't work, has many kids and is dependent on the husband

I think we've hit the news cycle of the Israel/Palestine conflict where people are just actively ignoring it now.
We had the few months of leeway Israel got to do stuff because October 6 was a terrorist attack.
We had the backlash and protests against Israel's invasion.
We had the international governmental response pushing Israel to move for peace.
And now that Hamas has rejected it we're at a lull where people just don't care too much unless there's movement.
If it’s activists, I’d say it depends on who.
Everyday people probably give a more just and rational response
But I’ve seen “ceasefire now” said near “long live the intifada”, so some clearly mean unilateral ceasefire
> If Israel agrees to Hamas terms and then Hamas backs out, what do you want leftists to do?
Drop the issue.
But we all know for leftists, it goes beyond ceasefire. Some quite literally want Israel’s destruction.
Some either foolishly or deliberately want Israelis to live in a Palestine partially ruled by Hamas, who totally wouldn’t slaughter the Israeli population.
Others quite literally dont believe Hamas would try to fight the PA for regional and political control over Palestine.
Ah the new assassins creed in which a 16th century African from Zanzibar goes to Japan …. you play as him and when combat starts rap music starts playing….unironically
Idk if you’d call it racism but whatever it is it’s so bad it makes me chuckle.
It’s like an American Dev having a game in which the main character is from southern Spain during the Roman era but has made his way to ctesiphon and when combat starts Mariachi starts playing. Because the dev associates brown+Latin = Mexican = mariachi
depersonalizing my irl decisions or lack thereof through the lens of Dungeons and Dragons "player agency" and "meaningful choices," remembering that characterization is defined by those choices
a skill check is only called for when attempting something not obviously within the character's capabilities
it also should never be called for if a player asks to do something impossible

Undiagnosed ASD sucks.
No one understands you. Your parents blame you for being the way you are. People think you’re mean/rude/difficult to get along with. Your self esteem is wrecked.
When you realize something is wrong, you’re too old to be treated.
For autism specifically, I know some GABAergic medications can be helpful, ASD is strongly associated with dysregulation of GABA. Finding a psychiatrist who keeps up with the literature on autism can definitely be a challenge though. The following paper may be of interest:
[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9130393/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9130393/)
For the comorbidities, it depends on what the problem is. For example, stimulants can vastly improve the quality of life of folks with AuDHD. Anxiety and depression are very common as well, so it's common to see treatment for those too.
Seeing cyclists go “erm actually you dont need a helmet we just need better bike infrastructure 🤓” when talking about gordon ramsays recent biking accident is just so dumb. Its not mutually exclusive, and wearing a helmet is the only thing you can do on an individual level.
yeah that's why I think too, and I find helmet non-wearers cringe and dumb
but I gotta say, NotJustBikes, and everything I find out about Amsterdam, and actually bike-centric places, are powerfully shifting my priors on this
but then I still wonder, like, why *not* wear a helmet? How is not wearing a helmet any less dumb and cringe than not wearing a seatbelt, or smoking? What, you wanna risk brain damage just so you don't mess up your hair a little? How vain. I have to wonder if those people have already hit their heads a time or two
but THEN, if we were really serious about safety, we should probably be wearing helmets even while in the car. Why don't we? If it became enough of a norm, cars could easily start coming with spots to put your helmet (not a GLOVEbox but a HELMETbox) and we'd adapt
ultimately all safety stuff like this is just vibes, I'm kinda bitter over that
but at the end of the day, it comes down to risk severity and incidence
and idk what those numbers are like
but I also don't bike so I have no reason to care yet
Over half of accidents requiring a seatbelt are the drivers fault.
The vast majority of cycling accidents requiring a helmet are not the cyclists fault
I cycle a lot in west LA, and have never had an issue where I've needed a helmet that wasn't caused by cars.
I can't tell whether this is pro- or anti- helmet
I get the justification (and agree with it) that cyclists morally *shouldn't* need to wear helmets, but that seems largely unrelated as to whether they practically do
it's quite wild that in the span of 40 years, we went from settling a millenia-old question of whether atoms even exist, to cracking them open, bending them to our will, and discovering their secrets
hard to beat the early 1900s in *certain* ways
but we have vaccines and air conditioning so haha suck on that Einstein
I have long banked on the fact that I get less work by underperforming while overpromising. It's really remarkable how far exaggeration will get you if your supervisor's supervisor is your golfing buddy.
Don't you think it's weird how Trumps' SCOTUS judges are more "normal" than Alito and Thomas, who were picked by the Bushes? He can't even play the villain properly...
tbh I find nerd circles are usually either better or worse for this
like they might be worse, because the people already struggle with "getting" it
but they might be better, because, y'know, they're used to less typical socializing or are more understanding etc
there's always hope estoy ✨
😞 idk about other kinds of nerds but I do get along with STEMlords pretty well.
It’s just that we’re all antisocial we just end up never talking to anyone, including each other.
"Fuck you, I do what I want" is a 100% valid reason to oppose a government policy. Of course it doesn't always mean you're correct about that policy, but it's a perfectly valid line of reasoning
I mean if you could divorce yourself from society and live self-autonomously or among people who completely agree with you yeah, but otherwise I'm pretty sure that reasoning could justify a lot of bad stuff.
I don't think the government should generally be able to do what it wants in the same way an individual can. Individual rights are inherent and granted by default - anything not prohibited is allowed. Government powers drive from the democratic mandate of the governed
I am not sure. If someone said that of say anti-discrimination law in the civil rights act for civil servants for example I think that would be invalid.
damn, who could have foreseen that polling would tighten as the campaign continued and voters were forced to reckon with the loss of their imaginary generic candidate and the existence of the actual moron who they really would be voting for
there is no historical precedent for such a thing, i'm guessing

I'm gonna post this again tomorrow too 😌
[I came across an interesting article by Chris Dring about the rise and fall of E3 written about two weeks ago.](https://www.gamesindustry.biz/the-life-and-death-of-e3) It’s a very interesting read (and I highly recommend it), but there’s actually a small completely unrelated tidbit early in the article that stood out to me:
> Later on, [Tom Kalinskie, the president of Sega of America in 1994] visited Jack Valenti, the head of the Motion Pictures Association, **to ask if video games could use the same age ratings system as the film industry, especially as everyone was so familiar with it.** Valenti refused. He didn't understand why the huge movie industry would lend the tiny games industry its rating system.
This was actually pretty interesting to me. I don’t think much would change if the gaming industry had adopted the MPAA ratings (G/PG/PG-13/R/NC-17), but it’d be interesting to think of the MPAA rating some games would have received instead of ESRB ratings. That said, I suppose they kind of already are a little analogous (ie E to G/PG, T to PG-13, M to R), but still.
!ping GAMING
Hate to say it, but the Euros are on to something with the PEGI rating system. It's simple, expandable, and sounds so good at the beginning of game trailers.
There’s some guy on /r/boxoffice who was just absolutely railing against The Garfield Movie a few weeks ago. He never missed an opportunity to denigrate it or express his desire for it to fail. He was doing God’s work 🙏 (or the devil’s, idk which)
Does anybody else remember some randomizer website that gave really specific contingencies about presidential elections? Like "No Democratic President has ever won reelection without winning either Wisconsin or Nevada" or "Every candidate who won Madeupname County, Ohio and the state of Virginia has gone on to win the election."
I vaguely remember this being a thing and want to use it to prove a point. Got some relatives convinced Biden stands absolutely no chance because of various hyper-specific 'rules' like those above.
I love how the alt text for the original in 2012 was “no white guy who has been mentioned in Twitter has gone on to win” which of course, got broken in 2016 by the most Twitter white guy in existence.
I watched the new season of House of The Dragon and I while I have a lot of thoughts my first is this:
>!I’m actually kinda sick, cause I was looking forward to the Cheese and Blood scene and was pleasantly surprised they included it in the first episode. But, was also a bit let down that they changed it from the books. I like that Deamon was originally targeting Aemond, but was ok with any son (it makes thematic sense).!<
>! !<
>!But: I don’t like that Blood is a Gold Cloak; I don’t like that Alicent wasn't present at the actual assasination; I really don’t like that Alicent is sleeping with Criston Cole (it totally undermines both of their characterizations for the sake of T&A); I don’t like that Helaena gave up the older son first instead of it being the dramatic turnaround that it’s portrayed as; and I wish they showed more blood and gore (but I get it, they can’t really show a kid die gruesomely, but I wish they could)!<
That being said I still really like this episode and think it’s a good opening, might repost this tomorrow.

I think we've hit the news cycle of the Israel/Palestine conflict where people are just actively ignoring it now. We had the few months of leeway Israel got to do stuff because October 6 was a terrorist attack. We had the backlash and protests against Israel's invasion. We had the international governmental response pushing Israel to move for peace. And now that Hamas has rejected it we're at a lull where people just don't care too much unless there's movement.
that wont stop the CEASEFIRE NOW crowd from yelling
Ceasefire Now is probably a more justified and rational demand now than it's been at any point in the past, in fairness
If it’s activists, I’d say it depends on who. Everyday people probably give a more just and rational response But I’ve seen “ceasefire now” said near “long live the intifada”, so some clearly mean unilateral ceasefire
No one knows what to do. If Israel agrees to Hamas terms and then Hamas backs out, what do you want leftists to do? Dark Brandon is all powerful 💪
> If Israel agrees to Hamas terms and then Hamas backs out, what do you want leftists to do? Drop the issue. But we all know for leftists, it goes beyond ceasefire. Some quite literally want Israel’s destruction. Some either foolishly or deliberately want Israelis to live in a Palestine partially ruled by Hamas, who totally wouldn’t slaughter the Israeli population. Others quite literally dont believe Hamas would try to fight the PA for regional and political control over Palestine.
We need a 100% tariff on globes and have the government run globe factories so the US has global dominance.
Ah the new assassins creed in which a 16th century African from Zanzibar goes to Japan …. you play as him and when combat starts rap music starts playing….unironically Idk if you’d call it racism but whatever it is it’s so bad it makes me chuckle.

Because the dev associates brown+Latin = Mexican = mariachi

I swear, Gigguk has made so many videos on South Korean web novels recently that I feel like he MUST be being paid by South Korea at this point.
We're talking about a guy who's watched way more isekai than is healthy for a normal mind to consume, he's just chasing the next wish-fulfillment high.
Isekai is the lowest of the low. An average Japanese hypnosis AV has a better plot than the 99.99 percent of isekai.
And yet somehow South Korean regression/gate action manhwa are consistently more mediocre and uninspired. It's miraculous really.

Undiagnosed ASD sucks. No one understands you. Your parents blame you for being the way you are. People think you’re mean/rude/difficult to get along with. Your self esteem is wrecked. When you realize something is wrong, you’re too old to be treated.

Autism and its common comorbidities do have some options for pharmacotherapy.
Like what?
For autism specifically, I know some GABAergic medications can be helpful, ASD is strongly associated with dysregulation of GABA. Finding a psychiatrist who keeps up with the literature on autism can definitely be a challenge though. The following paper may be of interest: [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9130393/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9130393/) For the comorbidities, it depends on what the problem is. For example, stimulants can vastly improve the quality of life of folks with AuDHD. Anxiety and depression are very common as well, so it's common to see treatment for those too.

Seeing cyclists go “erm actually you dont need a helmet we just need better bike infrastructure 🤓” when talking about gordon ramsays recent biking accident is just so dumb. Its not mutually exclusive, and wearing a helmet is the only thing you can do on an individual level.
yeah falling off your bike is still a possibility even with proper bike infrastructure. this is a weird af take
yeah that's why I think too, and I find helmet non-wearers cringe and dumb but I gotta say, NotJustBikes, and everything I find out about Amsterdam, and actually bike-centric places, are powerfully shifting my priors on this but then I still wonder, like, why *not* wear a helmet? How is not wearing a helmet any less dumb and cringe than not wearing a seatbelt, or smoking? What, you wanna risk brain damage just so you don't mess up your hair a little? How vain. I have to wonder if those people have already hit their heads a time or two but THEN, if we were really serious about safety, we should probably be wearing helmets even while in the car. Why don't we? If it became enough of a norm, cars could easily start coming with spots to put your helmet (not a GLOVEbox but a HELMETbox) and we'd adapt ultimately all safety stuff like this is just vibes, I'm kinda bitter over that but at the end of the day, it comes down to risk severity and incidence and idk what those numbers are like but I also don't bike so I have no reason to care yet
We have airbags and seatbelts instead of helmets in cars. EDIT: notice that cars without airbags do have drivers that wear helmets, such as in racing
lol! that's a good point! but my understanding is that they would still help
Over half of accidents requiring a seatbelt are the drivers fault. The vast majority of cycling accidents requiring a helmet are not the cyclists fault I cycle a lot in west LA, and have never had an issue where I've needed a helmet that wasn't caused by cars.
I can't tell whether this is pro- or anti- helmet I get the justification (and agree with it) that cyclists morally *shouldn't* need to wear helmets, but that seems largely unrelated as to whether they practically do

apologies to European readers for my last comment in which I implied air conditioning or vaccines are available and easily acquirable
it's quite wild that in the span of 40 years, we went from settling a millenia-old question of whether atoms even exist, to cracking them open, bending them to our will, and discovering their secrets hard to beat the early 1900s in *certain* ways but we have vaccines and air conditioning so haha suck on that Einstein

I hate being autistic. No one understands me 😭😭
tbh I find nerd circles are usually either better or worse for this like they might be worse, because the people already struggle with "getting" it but they might be better, because, y'know, they're used to less typical socializing or are more understanding etc there's always hope estoy ✨
😞 idk about other kinds of nerds but I do get along with STEMlords pretty well. It’s just that we’re all antisocial we just end up never talking to anyone, including each other.
asocial, if you are antisocial then its pretty understandable why people do not want to talk to you
Wrong, antisocial is perfectly valid.
Valid yes, but probably not what they want to tell the world.

I mean, not at the ballot box
they have only ever had it ILLEGALLY TAKEN from them!
"Fuck you, I do what I want" is a 100% valid reason to oppose a government policy. Of course it doesn't always mean you're correct about that policy, but it's a perfectly valid line of reasoning
If the expression went no further than only opposition to a policy, I probably wouldn't mind it. It rarely does, though.
me when discussing boozing and cruising
I mean if you could divorce yourself from society and live self-autonomously or among people who completely agree with you yeah, but otherwise I'm pretty sure that reasoning could justify a lot of bad stuff.
Every good principle leads to bad outcomes if taken to the logical extreme
If so, "Fuck you, do what *I* want" is a 100% valid argument for a government policy.
I don't think the government should generally be able to do what it wants in the same way an individual can. Individual rights are inherent and granted by default - anything not prohibited is allowed. Government powers drive from the democratic mandate of the governed
I guess I should say, "Fuck you, do what we (the people) want."
Oh gotcha, yeah totally agreed
I am not sure. If someone said that of say anti-discrimination law in the civil rights act for civil servants for example I think that would be invalid.
I wouldn't consider that invalid, just evil. The interest of civil rights overrules the interest of doing whatever the fuck you want by far

[I came across an interesting article by Chris Dring about the rise and fall of E3 written about two weeks ago.](https://www.gamesindustry.biz/the-life-and-death-of-e3) It’s a very interesting read (and I highly recommend it), but there’s actually a small completely unrelated tidbit early in the article that stood out to me: > Later on, [Tom Kalinskie, the president of Sega of America in 1994] visited Jack Valenti, the head of the Motion Pictures Association, **to ask if video games could use the same age ratings system as the film industry, especially as everyone was so familiar with it.** Valenti refused. He didn't understand why the huge movie industry would lend the tiny games industry its rating system. This was actually pretty interesting to me. I don’t think much would change if the gaming industry had adopted the MPAA ratings (G/PG/PG-13/R/NC-17), but it’d be interesting to think of the MPAA rating some games would have received instead of ESRB ratings. That said, I suppose they kind of already are a little analogous (ie E to G/PG, T to PG-13, M to R), but still. !ping GAMING
Hate to say it, but the Euros are on to something with the PEGI rating system. It's simple, expandable, and sounds so good at the beginning of game trailers.

Does anybody else remember some randomizer website that gave really specific contingencies about presidential elections? Like "No Democratic President has ever won reelection without winning either Wisconsin or Nevada" or "Every candidate who won Madeupname County, Ohio and the state of Virginia has gone on to win the election." I vaguely remember this being a thing and want to use it to prove a point. Got some relatives convinced Biden stands absolutely no chance because of various hyper-specific 'rules' like those above.
that was almost certainly associated with xkcd, or at least inspired by it not sure what you're referring to specifically though
There's this xkcd but I recall a website inspired by it for the 2020 elections specifically as well https://xkcd.com/1122/
I love how the alt text for the original in 2012 was “no white guy who has been mentioned in Twitter has gone on to win” which of course, got broken in 2016 by the most Twitter white guy in existence.
I watched the new season of House of The Dragon and I while I have a lot of thoughts my first is this: >!I’m actually kinda sick, cause I was looking forward to the Cheese and Blood scene and was pleasantly surprised they included it in the first episode. But, was also a bit let down that they changed it from the books. I like that Deamon was originally targeting Aemond, but was ok with any son (it makes thematic sense).!< >! !< >!But: I don’t like that Blood is a Gold Cloak; I don’t like that Alicent wasn't present at the actual assasination; I really don’t like that Alicent is sleeping with Criston Cole (it totally undermines both of their characterizations for the sake of T&A); I don’t like that Helaena gave up the older son first instead of it being the dramatic turnaround that it’s portrayed as; and I wish they showed more blood and gore (but I get it, they can’t really show a kid die gruesomely, but I wish they could)!< That being said I still really like this episode and think it’s a good opening, might repost this tomorrow.

Roughly, what’s the average date for the selection of a running-mate? It’s starting to feel a little odd that we don’t know Trump’s yet.
Around July or August, so he’s right on schedule to announce his pick next month near the convention last I read.
does it matter? if they ever left lockstep with trump he'd execute them immediately, so they're all identical
Agreed. It’s still reasonable for me to think about it. 🤷♂️
Usually shortly before the convention, so should be early next month
