I just added that detail as another reason he's cooler/more desirable than me. There's a perception in America, true or not, that black males are more desirable as lovers.




This doesn’t pan out in the racial response/interest statistics from dating sites, which may be the best data we have. It is an element in pornography, considering you reference it as a tidbit to “spice” things up, it is more a porn-addict brain take than reality. White men receive the most attention on online dating, and you (white) seem to have been her primary interest prior to your failure to execute on her potential adultery.




I should also say, I'm not opposed to dating a single-mother divorcé. I'd like to have kids myself, and having a partner that already knows how to raise a child I view as a benefit.




At the risk of offense, I’d suggest you stop thinking like a woman and only date and marry a woman who can prioritize you and your first born child.

They should found some preservation society, possibly a museum. It might not be curated and staffed from people cut from the same cloth, but antiquarians would see value here.

Most of us urban Mottizens will die in the process.




Looking forward to having this board all to myself soon, I tell you what. 🤠




nuclear exchange will absolutely ramp up focus on AGI, as soon as supply chains recover




Have you heard the idea that there simply aren’t enough fossil fuels left in the earth to kickstart another set of industrial revolutions after annihilation? We either complete the tech tree right now or we’re forever stuck in this gravity well. What do you say?

A plurality of distributed AI actors spearheaded by separate groups with competing value systems, as opposed to a globohomo singleton from the west dominating anything and everything forever. That, and, holding that they’re mutually exclusive, I prefer CCP backdoors in my silicon to NSA ones.


The OP’s analysis, big if true, might not be fully internalized by the usual suspects, if it is then I’ll be entertained by the kvetching from the MIRI-adjacent folk, if it isn’t then I’ll be reassured they might make the wrong moves until it will be too late for them.

You were in the holding pattern too long so she pivoted to her boss. You had your chance, sounds like she moved on. Better for you, in the end, because you’re not dating a single-mother divorcé.


Besides, what does him being black have to do with it, is she or her husband black?

The second one with the 6750xt. 50% more vram than the 3070 - PC games are just console games that are ported over these days. Consoles have about 12GB of addressable vram. Developers are targeting higher vram requirements.

Where do you get an original version of these? Amazon has 4050 and 4050CL, the latter having a mill finish so there’s risk of rust. The former apparently manufactured in China.

I’m aware. I’m told it doesn’t even tie in fully with NPCs dialogue, and even they “mix up your pronouns” occasionally, much like real life NPCs.

I don’t believe that complete mongrelization of the lightcone is an inevitability, or even likely. The motivation to present the game with a striking (vitiligo anyone?) medley of brown and black character races, and mostly ugly regardless of race, is to pay tribute to the Current Year (not 2330!) preoccupation with DEI. I reject that. As far as I know, not having played it, it is not to bring forth some worthwhile narrative exploring ethnic strife of some afrofuturistic faction causing a planetary-scale South African catastrophe - it’s window dressing and it’s not my window dressing.


And my conspicuous rejection (see Nexus Mods preemptively banning the pronoun mods) makes my enemies upset and anxious, and I want to maximize this.


Edit: I just realized that a character designer for Bethesda is some Brazilian mutt, gloating about his mystery meat creations in Starfield. Go figure.


Edit2: looks like possibly more ESG influence?




In order to understand why Starfield turned out so awful, and to show how bad AAA gaming has become, we have to look at the place developers ironically least expect us to check: The end credits. Starfield's takes over 45 minutes, and this is because despite Bethesda having hundreds of employees, a laundry list of voice actors, support from ZeniMax and backing from Xbox, they have nonetheless outsourced the game to - and this is not an exaggeration - 27 global studios, who do everything from sound design to VFX to modeling and so on. It's a total racket, worse than any of Todd's lies
• (You Tube] Starfield Credits 4K (embed) [Embed]
In the order in which they are shown in the credits, we have: Sonic Boom Sound, JSR Post, Iron Galaxy, The Multiplayer Group, Spera Soft, Snowed In Studios, GameSim, The Forge, Nobody Studios Undertone FX, Wardog. Sparx*, Scyth Games, Rouge MoCap, RedHot, Kaptured Motions Inc., Airship Interactive, Lakshya Digital, NXA Studios, Goodbye Kansas, GL33k, FuryLion, Cubic Motion, Cloud Mark, M aka Original Force, WIlF aka Mindwalk Studios. You probably picked up on the Chinese ones, but these companies operate everywhere from Ukraine to Vietnam to India About half of these companies are owned by Keywords Studios, a shady as fuck company using investment dollars and ESG points to help give what is effectively sweatshop labor to AAA developers They work with literally everyone. EA, Tencent, Capcom, Bamco, ActiBlizzard and of course Bethesda. Remember the whole rigamarole about crunch? Well, look at this
