  • I mean, I didn’t mean people were terrified of them - just didn’t generally consider them cute/attracting/nice/edible. But we eat quite a lot of things because at one point desperate people had no other choice and found out it isn’t even bad at all (think of lobster as a prison food in the 19th century).

    And then there are people who just grew up with them around all the time or just simply different (some actually like spiders or snakes as pets, etc.). So yeah, matter of exposure is a big factor.

    Or I don’t know, kinks : ). I’m just talking about the average reaction.





  • I’ve been thinking about something similar (as someone who isn’t a fan of rap/hip-hop). No matter how much I don’t like it (the actual music behind it is too bland for me), it has the greatest potential to deliver deep lyrics with puns and other wordplay.

    But then it got me thinking: What the HELL is holding us back from improving the other genres’ lyrics, or actually slapping some decent music on top of rap/hip-hop music, and not just some bland base or short and repetitive catchy tune?




  • Same here but with several games that don’t run on Linux. For some degree, I even understand the problem, however painful it is: ANY multilayer’s anticheat is a pain in the ass if you have to develop them for two OSs at the same time. Counter Strike: Source was virtually unbannable on Linux for way too long, and I’m still not sure where CS2 is standing now (I stopped back in the CSGO times).

    I really don’t know how we could fix this, and no, cutting off THAT many games I like is not an option (some of them even barely have a (good) alternative - think of Rocket League).

    Humans are selfish by definition (genes). It would be like rewinding a film and starting over.

    The main problem lies within humans’ tendency to put themselves (their family/tribe/culture/etc.) before others’. I know there are fantastic people who don’t, but in the grand scheme of things, humanity will always be too selfish in general. I’d bet that will be our bane (we’re kind of slowly killing ourselves with it already).
