I work in tech and I have a bit of a retail component to my job. This includes selling monitors.
I assure you you’re (we’re*–I can also tell the difference easily) in the extreme minority. The vast majority of people buy color and size, not clarity.
Having been new on both weapons and also having trained people that were brand new on both weapons, I will say that most beginners cannot hit something that far away with anything. What I meant by “intuitive” is that if you miss with a bow, you can see exactly where the arrow went and if it’s too low you can be like “I need to shoot a little higher”. Sometimes it is harder when you’re firing ammunition because they tend to disappear.
Loading either weapon isn’t necessarily complicated, but it is more intuitive on a bow. For revolver you will need to pull the release, rotate the assembly out, remove old rounds, insert new rounds and reverse disassembly. For a bow, you just put an arrow in and pull it back because the previous arrow is already gone. For some firearms, loading correctly can be fairly tricky if you don’t know what you’re doing. For example, if you load an M16 and don’t remember to shake the rounds to the back of the magazine, it can jam the weapon.
If my food sucks and the service was good, I tip them specifically in cash and tell them not to mention it, so it looks like I didn’t tip to the restaurant but it doesn’t screw the wait staff. It also makes the restaurant pay just a tiny bit more in payroll.
Bows are simpler logistically. Nock an arrow, pull, aim, release (“fire”). Guns have more steps up front typically but also make the round-to-round process simpler.
Both have sights that are comparable in complexity.
Form is similarly important for both.
Skill curve is similar for both at the higher end. I think bows are a little more intuitive for beginner through novice (subjective of course).
Size can vary wildly for both.
Bows need more physicality typically, so they’re a little harder in that way.
Feel free to follow with questions if you like. I have some hobby experience with bows and have trained professionally (military) with firearms.
Linux seems catered for the most basic users (grandma) and extremely advanced users (Linux enthusiasts, programmers). I’m in the middle where I’m pretty good on a computer but not that into the tweaking and tuning. I don’t think my demographic is catered to very well.
There’s a LOT of super cool stuff on Linux but a lot of it is buried on GitHub and needs configuration to work right. 1, I don’t have time to find that stuff and 2, I don’t care enough usually to make it work even though I typically could with sufficient effort.
Heck is where you go when you don’t believe in Gosh.
Maybe inspired by, but definitely not.
As a psychology nerd:
the lack of understanding and empathy for others (even when their opinions are different or “wrong”
The lack of understanding of how behavior is driven and encouraged to change.
The comfort level with looking at something very complex and assuming you know it deeply in moments (referring to short form video “teaching” psychology and mental health stuff)
The overall disconnect between the physical medicine community and the psychological/mental health communities (i.e. mental health is a huge driver in cancer, autoimmune, and other diseases)
I could go on. Learning more is my passion but damn it’s so depressing when I begin to understand something and see the abounding ignorance on it
Oh, good to know. I appreciate the info!
What’s AMP and why is it undesirable?
Stuff like chatgpt. Stands for Large Learning Model
I agree 100%. Not sure if it’ll helps you feel better but I’m “the” other person that has been saying this along with you lol. I’m a psychology geek and it is so completely obvious that’s what he has imo. I have noticed over the years that people don’t “get” NPD because it’s so counter-intuitive to a functioning human though.
I would actually argue that NPD is on average more dangerous than the ASPDs like psychopathy and sociopathy because it implicitly involves other people. Psycho/sociopaths want “something” and will do anything to get it but sometimes that thing they want may be fairly harmless. Like maybe they sometimes they just stuff so they’re thieves. Not great, but mostly a victimless crime. Narcissists specifically want admiration and to prop up that fragile sense of self but that always specifically involves other people, so they’re always going to be in proximity with others where the ASPDers may not.
Tldr, the doom Cheeto is a POS with NPD and I will lose exactly zero sleep the day he dies.
I work in a computer shop and talk to regular computer users all day everyday.
The average user might know what a browser is. Most don’t know that the Internet is outside of their computer.
Real quotes like this happen everyday: “I just get on the green one to check my Google”. Translation: I check Gmail using the Edge browser.
It took me 25 minutes the other day to explain what video chat was and that FaceTime is only one kind of it, and it’s only available on Apple devices, of which an HP laptop is not.
Do not underestimate the computer illiteracy of the common person.
Looks like they wrote it with two pens simultaneously
The argument being made is: “AI is currently slop but there is a reasonable expectation that it will be pushed until it is indistinguishable from human work, and therefore devaluing of human work.”
I don’t like AI because it’s just another way that “corporate gonna corporate” and it never ends up working out for the mere mortals’ benefit. Also, misinformation is already so prevalent and it’s going to continue to get worse (we have seen this already–trump abuses it continually).
They use it similar to “rascal”
I find your response baffling. I think it was completely out-of-pocket but I’m going to extend a one-time olive branch in good faith that there was some sort of misunderstanding.
I am open to a proper explanation as to how specifically it was hurtful or disrespectful. And if it was and I’m missing a social cue here, I would love to know how that equates to such an aggressive response. My absolute best guess is, that you read it as “you can’t be good at anything”, but I said “you can’t be good at everything”, which literally implies that you are good at other things.
I actually was a certified HVAC tech for a few years. I have seen people get seriously hurt not knowing when their system had steam in it or from not being able to control when the boiler kicks on (mostly renters) and steam starts shooting out of the hole mid-repair. I don’t have any way to assess your skills over the internet so I suggested the safe option. Similar logic to, if you don’t know if someone can work on cars, maybe don’t tell them to do their own brakes.
Your point doesn’t necessarily disagree with the OP point. OP is saying that the simulation was supposed to be realistic but had glitches that people interpreted as magic.
