Im pretty sure the doctor gave them the thumbs up on trying dietary first, and Im pretty sure the doctor knows better than the guy trying to historically lecture that doctor retroactively.
Fortnite is changing what skins can be equipped and where, including real-money paid for skins. Specifically, labeling some skins as not E™ for Everyone™ and only allowing them in non-E™ zones.
People are upset that the cosmetics they paid real human dollars for are going to be unusable where they want to play, defeating the entire point of spending money on a cosmetic.
People are also upset at seemingly arbitrary lines-in-the-sand drawn over which skins dont count as E™, and which do. In a “why is my skin off limits but that skin which is far less kid friendly is no issue?” style complaint.
If you paid money for a skin to look cool in the game you like, and now cant use it in the parts of the game you want to play in, thats a valid reason to be upset.
No one cares youre grinding for faze clan entry dude, theres no “”“skill”“” that matters if youre playing fortnite. If you play the game for skill in a way where you talk like this, youre playing cs:go.
If you shift your diet over people being mean to you, I really worry for you.
Im not even vegan, but if you want to eat a specific way and you stop because someone called you names on the internet Im not gonna lie, I do think youre kinda dumb. The internet trolls should not impact the food you order or cook for dinner.
They deserve it sure, but they are also right to be frightened by it. If you arent mindful, a sudden success can define your next failure, so its good theyre mindful of it.
CDPR ended up with 2077 by trying to overpromise to top its previous success and name maker.
Larian is showing that they understand they are in a very similar position, and need to be careful and mindful as they plan their next project in the shadow of BG3s success.
The recommendation is not “woah go listen to this, so insightful!”
The recommendation is “they attempt to articulate their mentality, and it serves as a study of cognitive dissonance.”
You arent being told to go listen to a lecture, and study the words of a master.
Youre being told to go observe a massively influencial mentality in the wild, and study them in a contained environment.
Its like being told to read the bible. Its not because you should be christian. Its because this book influences the world around you heavily, and you should understand it.
Youre misunderstanding biology’s decision to not impose cognitive assumptions where they cant be proven for a lack of cognition at all.
Bees, a close (relatively) relative of the ant are known to not only play, but also attempt to sneakily reproduce and hide their offspring among the queens eggs. The colony, in turn, murders any bees caught doing so. Clearly more than the simple robotic instinct you wish to imply, and entirely possible for ants to also be capable of. Its just yet to be observed, recorded, and published.
Do not mistake an inability to test and confirm for a lack of capacity.
There is no “primitive” or “modern” species. Ant, or otherwise. Thats not a thing, biologically speaking, for extant species.
And, again, lacking cognitive testing is not proof of lack of cognition. Even if we do ignore the examples of play, a behavior that requires developed thinking.
Youre making up blind assumptions based on your belief that insects are below humans. Its a false assumption, one with no facts to support it, and it flies in the face of the actual facts.
you heavily implied this, and are doing so again here. Again, lack of research is not proof of null.
leafcutter ants teach each other the neccessary steps for fungal feeding. They do not naturally know how to prepare the leaves. As far as you know is not a far distance, and is not a basis for dismissing an entire branch of the animal kingdom as lesser.
The silly hill to die on is you acting like your lack of knowledge is equivalent to fact. It spits in the face of scientific research.
So, you dont own any non xbox controllers? Or want to play games properly with friends? Or, hell, want to find a non AAA game? Since epic has way fewer games, and loses a lot of indie darlings?
Can licking an iron bar get you the daily recommended amount of iron?
How many licks would it take? Can the iron in bars even be processed by the body? Can you do this for other minerals?
