Speaking in terms of ultimate (evolutionary) causes, obviously, but on a proximate level of, for example, what the people in question actually think and feel, as well as the practical outcome given the accessibility of effective contraceptives, it has nearly nothing to do with reproduction.
When one is young one only thinks on reproduction
Depending on your definition of “young”, what it actually is is that young people mainly think of fucking.
It’s a heuristic thing. Denser objects are often* heavier, but it’s the density and not the weight that may make them fall faster (not accounting for how aerodynamic a given object is). It can produce incorrect judgements, especially if they attempt to articulate their intuitive knowledge as some precise-yet-abstract law, but in practical circumstances their intuitive knowledge produces the expected result the vast majority of the time, so pragmatically it’s reasonable to call it correct.
*Certainly their weight is more noticeable, as is the lack of weight of less-dense objects, so perhaps this is the real source of the skew, a type of selection bias.
That’s just question-begging
I don’t think they are independent. Most people believe that the sky is blue when the sun is high and objects fall to the ground if they aren’t propelled or lighter than air. It is not an accident that they believe correct things, it is from experience and education. Most people have a huge amount of correct information that is held in common in their society along with the myths and superstitions and misconceptions, while that latter category [false beliefs held in common] are usually but not always things that fall outside of their experience.
I think Odyssey sucks but I need to give Wonder credit for at least being engaging with its zaniness even if it isn’t truly “innovative”. Games need more whimsy.
Wild how corporations have so much leeway to dictate the law.
The lemmy.ml devs encouraged Ledditors to go there and a few other places instead.
So action, but slower action? That’s perfectly reasonable and I love DS1. You might like the Demon Souls remake, and there are a metric ton of indie soulslikes that range the gamut in that respect. You can get an impressively large set of reviews of those from the YouTube channel Iron Pineapple (seemingly named after the Conjurors in DS1, whose helmets look a little like iron pineapples)
There was at least one timeloop game based on a murder mystery that got pretty good reviews that came out on Steam a couple years ago and had an isometric perspective. I don’t remember the name, but those keywords are probably enough.
Also of course there’s 12 Minutes, which could be described is basically identical wording but is actually not the game I was thinking of.
Edit: “The Sexy Brutale” is what I was thinking of. Other titles include The Forgotten City and Elsinore.
How is it a soulslike if it isn’t an action game?
As it is it appears you’re assuming whatever actions the someone in power in America takes is “American Liberalism”, I’m not sure that’s something I agree with.
The poles of American ideology are theocracy/Christofascism and liberalism. Virtually all of what the state does that isn’t theocratic is liberal.
The Nazis did multiple genocides by almost any definition, though obviously they could never aspire to the body count of America or Britain.
Don’t be a useful idiot of the State Department
It’s a bunch of Ledditor liberals saying that. Lemmygrad can be a little sectarian, but otherwise it is perfectly fine.
Eye rolling is definitely a culturally-specific thing with the anglosphere, but the emoji is literally called “eye-roll” and does read visually as being that to someone familiar with the gesture.
The added nuance here is that eye-rolling is an expression of derision and not just sarcasm, while culturally /s is used for being facetious (think friendly sarcasm) as well as actual sarcasm.
Eye-rolling is commonly associated with sarcasm (and other forms of derision, but in the context sarcasm makes the most sense)
I’m sincerely wondering if some of the emoji hate is people with ASD or something similar not getting common facial expression associations beyond things like smile = happy
The eye rolling is a sarcasm indicator, the monocle indicates curiosity.
To me, using default face emoji gives off the same kind of vibe as still having the setting that adds “Sent from my iPhone” to the footers of your emails enabled. Or driving around a car you’ve purchased with the car dealership branding badges and license plate covers on it. Or using a laptop with all the factory stickers still on it. It signals a kind of “this is fine” lack of care or concern by allowing your own expression to be polluted by pre-canned expressions from a corporation.
Counterpoint: “self-expression” through more consumerist markers is no less bullshit. I don’t care about your lifestyle brand and I would, if anything, respect someone more for not paying extra to try to give the affect of being a special little guy when all they are doing is displaying a different flavor of corporate bullshit messaging.
Express yourself in word and deed, not shit you bought.
Policies like Medicare for All are popular with a majority of Americans, but aren’t implemented because the parties in charge flatly refuse
