Comment Since when do we care? (Score 3, Insightful) 108

Schools are designed for female students to close the "achievement gap". Female students get preferential admission. In stem, women get preferential hiring. Boys are shown they're second class citizens from the time they get into puberty. Women are taught to fear men, and men are taught they're hateful whether they're hateful or not. All this would be fine if society told them there's something good and unique about men, something to aspire to and be valued for. But "everything men can do women can do better". And now we're surprised at the fallout? Society won't be willing for the necessary reforms, especially giving men back their purpose, until things get a lot more shit than they are now.

>The death penalty is NOT about revenge
Most of the people who support the death penalty see it as retributive justice. i.e. revenge even if they won't put it in those terms. For example, "closure". Even if you're trying to pretty it up, much of what you want is "he did the crime and now he's done the time". tit for tat. Revenge.

It's a tragedy of the commons: Everyone wants to hire trained coders, no one wants to train them. Either AI will pan out and it will become a nothing-burger with LLMs shrinking your code to 10% of the size capable of running on 1/20th the cycles or businesses are going to have to train coders I mean obtain more work visas to get coders from India.

Your comment is poorly formatted and almost impossible to read without an unreasonable amount of focus. I also note the signature at the bottom. I'm guessing you copied someone else's comment and pasted as AC? Either way if you're going to be posting a long rant try to make it a coherent narrative: flow one idea into another naturally, put highly similar thoughts together and use longer paragraphs.

Comment Motte and bailey (Score 2) 209

People arguing this is acceptable are using a motte and bailey. The bailey is that this is a real person. When shutting down factual arguments proving this wrong fails (and discrediting Wikipedia and its woke bent in the process) they switch to the motte that it's okay for the game to take this liberty with history because it's just a game.

Allow me to counter the motte. Yes, it's okay to make any kind of game you like with any kind of thing in it you like. But when you do so for a blatantly political reason following a long series of blatantly political choices in an attempt to rewrite history that acts in concert with many other attempts to rewrite history in the same way, I'm going to call you out on it and a lot of people are going to hate you and your game. That's not because I'm racist. It's because I hate lies, the rewriting of history, and your political agenda.
