HW/FW security researcher & Demoscene elder.

I started having arguments online back on Fidonet and Usenet. I’m too tired to care now.

  • Yeah sorry, if you don’t get why those parts of those papers are relevant there’s probably not much I can help you with there :) I’m quite convinced you have no interest in the actual topic - you’re performing a well known debating technique that stems from the need to avoid cognitive dissonance. As long as you can fault find sources - in any way - you can conclude that the premise in question is false and thus continue believing what it now is you need to believe for your own sanity’s sake.

    Enjoy.

    For the non-Swedish readers: Yes, we’re not outraged if kids happen to see nipples or hear dirty words. They turn out just fine.

    Actually, we’d claim they turn out better than if you believe they need to be protected from absolutely everything :P If a Swedish kid points to that popsicle and asks what it is I’d say below the age of ~6 we might skip over the reality but above that we’d tell them what it is with the comment that it’s supposed to be funny for some.

    YMMV

    It’s that the game, story, or environment is being sacrificed to shove a political message down your throat.

    … said by people who only know of this because today we talk about that message. The same people who loved Starship Troopers without realising it’s a tale about the dangers of fascism. Who cheered Fight Club not realising it criticized male stereotypes. And lauded the Fallout video game series even though it on purpose allows same sex relationships since Fallout 2.

    Sheep. Led by Russian propaganda filtered through their current favorite “I tell it like it is”-influencers.



  • Modafinil and Dexamphetamine sure - but have you tried Methylphenidate then?

    (Parent with ADHD kids here)

    While Modafinil has support in the literature I don’t think it’s prescribed officially for ADHD, and due to the different way they work the top choice for ADHD is usually Methylphenidate rather than Amphetamine.

    Whatever works for you is the best for you though, I was just a bit surprised :)
