Excrubulent

I just want to point out that the "noble savage myth" trope is only false in that it has always been a racist canard to attack anyone who suggests that we should treat indigenous people with respect. The mere suggestion that they have a functioning society and would actually be better off if we didn't ~~genocide~~ civilise them is met with this retort that you have fallen for the "noble savage myth". It is a deliberate mischaracterisation that people somehow still accept as truth.

It rests on the listener accepting that "savages have no nobility, therefore the notion of a noble savage is absurd". As soon as you question that basic tenet, it falls apart. What is "nobility", why is it good, and why is it the sole province of so-called civilised society? Why are they called "savage" in the first place?

I think the basic refutation of "noble savage" is that both words are lies. Nobility is a false pretence to cover the fact that nobles are nothing more than human beings, and savage is the opposite, a dehumanisation to cover the fact that so-called nobles ordered the slaughter of nothing less than human beings.

The noble savage trope works because even if you somehow catch one of these lies, it's hard to catch them both.

It's okay, I've meant to watch them for decades now and I only have myself to blame really.

I know, I'm just pointing out it's the same logic. My joke was that I was taking your joke too seriously, but I guess it didn't come across.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EDIT: Idk how to do my little shruggy guy on lemmy markdown. Does it read okay for everyone else? Three backslashes has worked on other markdown based forums I've used. Please people, lemmy needs lenny.

Edit 2: On further inspection this appears to be a Proton frontend issue. I'll pursue it there.

You could also say that his lackey-force-choking binge hadn't started yet, because in A New Hope he wasn't searching for Luke, and in the intro crawl for Empire it describes him as obsessed. Maybe he hadn't choked anybody till this one guy needled him and he realised he had to get the word out that he was a serious guy.

Ah yes, "You have criticisms of liberalism so you must love Trump."

I know someone will think I'm stretching with this but the parallels are so direct they can't be avoided.

Yo spoilers! Wow.

I appreciate the thoughtful comments. I'd encourage you to watch to the end, there are definitely counterpoints.:

• The hoverpack is a late-game thing, and as I clarify in the follow up to this video, this is really to help people overcome the complexity hurdle of the early game, which is a big problem. The devs said only 0.2% of people beat the last phase of the game prior to 1.0. A lot of people are attacking this technique from the point of view of being very experienced players that have all the tools, but if you're that far in the game, this may not be for you.
• I like my spaghetti factory, it emphasizes the complex industrial look of this game, which I don't like to hide. This technique allowed me to make it far more complex than I ever would've managed without this technique. You can always encapsulate after you adopt this technique, and I absolutely have in certain places. Again, in the follow up to this video I cover encapsulation right at the start, although I don't use that word for it.
• You can wave a deconstructor at the belt and see what's on it.

This is not intended to be an all-encompassing method, just a rule of thumb that makes the task of hand-building the early factory much easier, which you can then scale and extend into the late game if you wish. Plenty of people are talking about logistics floors, but I don't use them because they obfuscate even more than a ceiling belt. If your problem is that you can't see what's on the belt well... you can't see through floors either. You can through glass floors, but then you're bringing back the visual noise anyway, and I've always found tracking belts through even glass floors to be much more work than following a belt to the ceiling.

Again, I'd encourage you to finish the video and also check the follow-up, where I roll this method into stackable blueprints, and I explain that these blueprints can easily be incorporated into logistics floors if that's your thing.

I also have a note in that video apologising for calling people babies :)

Also, you'll talk to me after it's a solved problem? Why would I be interested in that? You have no interest in helping solve it now and I see no reason why you'd magically become useful after the fact.

If you can demonstrate that you even understood the concept of decentralised torrent-like hosting then I'll pay attention to whatever else you had to say.

What are you talking about? I don't think you understood the concept of decentralised torrent-like hosting.

I'm currently talking to a peertube hoster about server costs, which I may be able to justify to host my own videos plus a little extra to pitch in for others who can't justify the expense. Plenty of professional creators could easily justify it as an exit strategy or backup for youtube.

These conversations are happening, just not with you, presumably because you're just being negative about it and not actually doing something, so why would anyone bother to bring it up with you?

Take out the phone part and allow users to host videos in a decentralised way on their home computers and it's a genuinely good idea though. I have a server running with plenty of storage and reasonable upload speed. I could easily dedicate a terabyte or so, as long as I'm not the sole hoster.

It would be a hell of a lot cheaper than dedicated hosting. The only issue is legal problems when someone is unknowingly hosting abuse material, which is something that happens from time to time on all services like this, and an individual could be done for distribution without the protection big centralised services have. You'd just have to hope mods are on top of it.

Actually something like a debrid service but for peertube might work. You can get huge amounts of storage for cheap because a lot of it is shared, you might ask them to host a huge torrent file, but most torrent files serve multiple users, so the cost is distributed. Peertube could work a similar way if it were more mainstream.

If the judge said it then it would have been established fact in the case. This can be established by evidence and found as fact in the case, or it can be part of the agreed facts of the case, in which case the court doesn't waste time hearing evidence. All it takes to become agreed fact is for the defence to present it as part of their case and for the prosecution to not dispute it.

In that context the finding of fact by the court is more than enough for the paper to report on it, and the two versions presented by you of it being said by the defence and by the judge, are entirely compatible with one another. Nobody is going to demand to see the boy's medical history to verify an uncontroversial point like this. That would just be a waste of time.

The papers presented it as stated by the defence and the judge, they said nothing false or misleading, and I don't see any problem with that part of their reporting.

Now, if you have an issue that it was reported because it casts autistic people in a bad light, the issue becomes whether you think it's something the papers should leave out. Well, the defence considered it important, and it became news. Not much we can do about that after the fact.
