The Danes are on average twice as smart as the rest of us, but all that extra intelligence gets wasted on this business.

I'm taking my chances on the future. King of England 2400. Hopefully by then the royal family is basically a national pet.

In the last couple of years, seeing my toddler do new things. Any new things. Jumping, saying "cake", eating a new food, today it was making toys talk to each other.

Overall, coding things. I'm incredibly newbie but wannabe game dev. Learning to code as I go copying tutorials and trying to tweak things and mash different ones together until it does what I want. I would spend an entire evening getting frustrated and not understanding error codes and pulling my hair out because invalid syntax and shit. Then finally it would do what I wanted it to do and I could physically feel my brain light up with buzzy happy-chemicals, big grins and jumping round the room like a kid on Xmas.

Then I'd start on the next minijob and break the whole fucking thing...

I wouldn't say games. I'd say carefully calculated reward dopamine triggers with tendrils snaking directly to the entirety of my liquid assets disguised as games.

If they lied about that, so casually and unnecessarily, what else will they be lying about? The rat poison to taste as the special ingredient?

I know next to nothing about any of the subject, but I'm bloody impressed by the preservation

Yeah just use it as normal and have patience.

Only reason I'm here is after getting arbitrarily banned from reddit for the 3rd time and refusing to make a new one.

Supposed to be. From a pure animal point of view They're successful enough to have reproduced. Given that between them they make up your entire genetic composition, the wisest course of action is to emulate them.

Then human society got to a point where the bar for survival/reproduction is so low that it's not necessarily a good idea to emulate them.

Because it's a recognisable brand name that's easier and more palatable to communicate than "sell videos of increasingly depraved sex acts en masse"

It's just how it's been normalised. Anyone who is actually interested and wants to get engaged will learn better quite quickly.

Yeah he plays minecraft

So you're creating the doom you're prophecising?

Nicely played.

I knew those thumbs were good for more than turning metal cylinders into food.
