Personally, panpsychism makes sense to me. Our brains are what make us thinking individuals with memories etc, but the whole universe is conscious. So after we die, we return to pure awareness (without thought or memory)

Well it will be fine even if you only leave it charging a tiny fraction of the times you use it. And with AAs you have to remember to change them anyway or it will die while you're playing.

And if you think the process of:

opening the back cover, taking out the AAs (especially on the original steam controller), putting them in a charger, and putting new ones back in the controller

is even close to as easy as just setting the controller down on a magnetic charger, I don't know what to tell you.

~~They're~~ The controller is always charged because I put ~~them~~ it on the charger when I ~~rotate them.~~ am not using it.

So the controller never dies unless you're playing for more than a day straight, and there's no fiddly swapping out of batteries. The only downside is that you might need to replace the battery in like 5 years time with heavy use, and it's only marginally more difficult than swapping out AAs.

Well the rechargeable AAs will wear out just like an internal battery, but there's more of them and they're individually packaged. It's a bit more waste and a bit more money, even if it's not a big difference.

Personally I think the big difference is in usability - I'd rather just leave the controller on a charger when not in use and never have to worry about swapping cells in and out. (I think battery degradation is overblown - it should last way more than 2 years, especially if you aren't gaming for 20 hours straight)

You're so close to getting it...

Basic scrolling feels so much better. And I don't think it really makes a huge difference for battery life, so I always leave if at 120.

One way roads and split highways exist, but even on any typical divided road, you obviously can still drive the wrong way. Either way, you're conpletely missing the point. That phrase is used as a way of saying that if literally everyone else disagrees with you, then it's a lot more likely that you're the one who is wrong.

In this case, autism really doesn't have an "opposite". neurodevelopment is incredibly complex, and while some aspect exist on a spectrum, others don't. (and the traits or development patterns that do exist on a spectrum in this case exist mostly between autistic and allistic traits, not between autism and some "opposite" pattern.

And the other traits you mentioned exist on their own orthoganal axes.

What a fucking joke.

Since people here seem confused by this post:

Helping a minority religious group and defending them against discrimination? Good.

Beleiving that religious fundamentalists will suddenly have progressive values and not immediately turn against the LGBTQ people who stood by them? Naive.

This isn't really accurate. Mbin does what Lemmy and Piefed do (Reddit replacement) plus what Mastodon does (twitter replacement). They're just in different tabs of the interface. You have the option of microblogging if you want, but threads are still pretty much exactly the same compared to Lemmy or Piefed.

 

The fediverse used to feel pretty anti-ai, but over the past month or two I've noticed a LOT of generated memes and images, and they tend to have positive votes.

Has there been a sudden culture shift here? Or is there a substantial percentage of people just unable to tell the difference anymore?

 

Like, it can't be a real person, right? Has anyone tried following the links? I'm curious how they're scamming people. It just seems like anyone getting the same message 5 times won't fall for being catfished, so I don't understand what their strategy is.
