  • You went through my comment history and quoted me, to just not read the whole quote.

    Here, I’ll help you:

    It’s fine if someone already answered with what you were going to answer. You can just upvote that guy and move on.

    As I said, there are already 3 top comments explaining to you why you’re being downvoted. I don’t need to explain myself when I mostly agree with them, I just upvote them.

    If everyone had to explain every downvote, we would have hundreds of comments on each post, and most of them would say the same thing.



  • I never used them. AI is shit, and they’re still at the “burning money” stage, wait 2-3 years and they’ll enter the enshittification stage, where it will be even worse.

    Plenty of times I’ve seen coworkers stuck at the same problem for hours. Until they come and ask for help and I give them a simple answer for their simple problem. Every time it is “well, I asked the AI and it said this thing and it didn’t work, so I asked it to fix it and it didn’t either, a bunch of times.”. I just tell them “you’re surrounded by a lot of people here that know a lot about programming, why don’t you ask any of them?”.

    For real, why use an AI at work where you are surrounded by people that can actually answer your question? It just makes no sense. Leave AI to those that can’t pay an artist for their game. Or to those that have a “game design idea that will change the world” but won’t pay a programmer even if they can’t program themselves.



  • If you approve someone, you don’t need to explain yourself, you would just say “I agree with this guy”. There’s no substance to it.

    However, if you downvote, you are saying “this is wrong”. Which is much different. When you accuse someone of being wrong, you should explain yourself, otherwise you’re being a dick.

    It’s fine if someone already answered with what you were going to answer. You can just upvote that guy and move on.

    EDIT: I’m absolutely in awe that this comment specifically gathered so many downvotes. And this is a good example of what I was referring to. Lots of people downvoted, and 0 ppl said why.




  • First of all, the US is a flawed democracy, not even a real one. And those genocides are done to people outside the US. None of my arguments are about what is morally correct or not.

    What I’m saying is that anarchy is not a stable system, it will eventually evolve into a stable one.

    In fact, the US right now is a perfect example of what I’m saying. You guys voted an openly fascist imbecile twice to the top power. And the other branches of government gave him even more power. And still, he has only openly killed like <10 citizens out of 330 million. And you guys still have elections. Sure, democracy has eroded a lot. But it’s still technically a democracy.

    If someone like trump obtained that amount of power in an anarchic society, he would’ve just killed every democrat in the country.

    In a democracy (even if a shitty one), with a good chunk of the population backing him, he still does not have absolute power. More than 5 years in, he hasn’t yet managed to end democracy.


  • Then that means it’s shit.

    In a democracy, governments derive their power from the legitimacy that the support of their voters give them. If someone in government decides to “not be nice about it”, then most likely the rest of the government would stop it. Remember, the government is made up of a LOT of people. If an entire political party goes nuts, then the opposition would get votes and reclaim the monopoly of violence.
