ELI5 If Trump is a supposed billionaire why does he keep promoting cheap crap to get money? in c/explainlikeimfive@lemmy.world

[-] Azzu@lemm.ee 29 points 1 month ago

One thing that people didn't mention yet: this is the behavior that made him (stay) a billionaire. You don't get to be one by being nice and non-exploitative.

But I haven't been trying hard at all...

There's definitely a balance to be struck, and it depends on the table. I would only do this on a table where the rules are actually just guidelines.

For many others, a world needs to make sense internally. It doesn't need to make real-world sense, but within the world with its different reality, things kinda need to be consistent. For example, if it is easily possible for a wizard to circumvent your will save by asking a trick question, the whole world would look completely different. Almost everyone who interacts with any kind of wizard would be extremely guarded around giving consent for anything since it might just be a ploy to remove their resistances.

A resourceful/logical player would now try to trick an NPC into agreeing first, and well, if it doesn't work, you can still cast the spell normally, nothing lost. You could ask them to stop, or they could recognize themselves that doing it like that wouldn't be fun, but if you act in the world you usually always try to make the best decisions. If you artificially limit that in a fourth-wall-breaking way, the game actually starts to lose its appeal.

If you allow stuff like this all the time, eventually the alternate reality of your characters will just become a random clown show. Problem solving will just be about who comes up with the most ridiculous thing that makes everyone laugh about its absurdity. There will be no logic or rational thought involved anymore, it'll be no simulation anymore, just a sandbox. Which again, might be fine for certain tables, but many want to be able to immerse themselves in a different world that they can accept as at least possible, which is the actual fun for them.

So no, you aren't necessarily "not fun" if you don't allow this as a DM. You're just playing a different kind of game with a different kind of fun.

No, you need to conform to the majority, differences only cause unpredictability and thus unsafetyness.

This is sarcasm, but it's what many people actually think.

Are you sure men are not subjected to something similar? Granted, no random women came to me on the street, but I received all kinds of weird "advice" by distantly acquainted women as a young man, which in all honesty also felt like "pressuring me to conform to female desire"

It has been my experience. Google Play has no way to communicate back that a rating has been made, so all apps I know just assume you rated and never bother you again.

Maybe you're just using really sketchy apps, but for me it worked every time.

Most "far right" people are exactly the kind that made the comment you reply to. I have a "friend" that became exactly like this.

French woman responds with outrage after lawyers suggest she consented to a decade of rape in c/world@lemmy.world

[-] Azzu@lemm.ee 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Defense lawyers are supposed to try everything they can to defend their client, no matter how little sense it makes. It is theoretically possible for an admission of guilt to be false.

It's up to the judge to understand their arguments are worthless and rule accordingly.

That's how this is supposed to work.

It depends entirely on the maturity of the parties involved, it's not really an "older/younger" thing.

But generally, the less mature you are, the more a relationship is selfish, i.e. you want to be in a relationship for your personal advantage, i.e. "i get sex when I have a girlfriend". The more mature you get, the more relationships go into the direction of "I want to make the other person happy". You still get your sex or whatever other advantage of course, but it's much more fulfilling if you can actually give the other person what they need, and temporarily losing your personal benefit of the relationship doesn't cause immediate breakups.

They don't really. They are often learned the hard way, because no one attempts to explain them or just acts like they know but doesn't really.

Scientists Use AI to Prove People Can Be Talked Out of Conspiracy Theories in c/science@lemmy.world

[-] Azzu@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

No one said at all that AI used "reason" to talk people out of a conspiracy theory. In fact I would assume it's incredibly unlikely since AI in general is not reasonable.

[UserScript] Lemmy Universal Link Switcher rewrites all links to Lemmy instances everywhere to your home instance! Now rewrites post/comment links! 1.2.0 Release! (greasyfork.org)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Azzu@lemm.ee to c/technology@beehaw.org

15 comments fedilink

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/530162

Please report issues with this version either here or at the issue tracker.

Changelog v1.2.0

Add rewrite support for posts/comments

Try to not rewrite federation links

Description

Lemmy Universal Link Switcher, or LULs for short, scans all links on all websites, and if any link points to a Lemmy instance that is not your main/home instance, it rewrites the link so that it instead points to your main instance. Currently only works for community/user links.

Also works on Firefox Android with the Tampermonkey extension!

Features

Rewrite links to Lemmy posts/comments to point to your home instance. Only after hovering over them, because getting home posts/comments links require communicating with the Lemmy servers, and we don't want to spam the servers.

Instantly rewrite all links of communities or users to Lemmy/kbin on all websites everywhere to your new instance! The rewritten links will have an icon next to it, and hovering/touching the icon will show you the original link, allowing you to go there if you want to.

If you are already on a page that has a corresponding page on your home instance, a link will automatically be added to the page header.

Home Instance Setup

Simply visit the Lemmy instance you want to set as your home while the script is active. You will be asked if you want to set this instance to your home instance:

If you initially set your home instance wrong or just want to change it, no worries - simply go to your settings on your new home instance and press the button for it!

Coming soon

Rewrite kbin post/comment links

Better rewriting support for kbin community/user urls (e.g. sort options are currently ignored)

Nicer tooltip styling (fit into page theme)

Signify that "Show at home" button is loading for posts/comments

Bot not picking up every post? (lemm.ee)

submitted 1 year ago by Azzu@lemm.ee to c/about@lemmit.online

0 comments fedilink

Just as a disclaimer: I'm not complaining, it's great that all this exists at all :)

I'm just checking if this may be a bug or not: if I compare https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/new/ and https://lemmit.online/c/dota2?dataType=Post&page=1&sort=New then the bot is definitely skipping some posts.

For example, between "NothingToSay is called 'responsibility god' in CN Dota2 community." and "TIP: Medusa doesn’t reduce magic damage to her mana when BKB is up" there are 3 other posts on reddit directly, which are missing on lemmit.online

I'm just hoping this can be fixed since this bot makes populating the "real" dota2 community I moderate much easier, but some posts I want to cross-post are missing so I need to do shit manually.

I will keep posting on this community for the foreseeable future. It'll be worth subscribing if you like dota 2 :)

I tried contacting the mods on the other dota2 communities on other servers, but I don't think they're using Lemmy anymore.
