Which games do you dislike, but the rest of the world loves them?
  • I haven't quite finished it yet, my feeling is that it slightly overstays it's welcome.

    I've also noticed that most of the time I do a thing or two in the game then realise there's not quite enough time in the loop to do another thing, but just enough time to make me want to not waste the loop, since I find starting a new loop a bit tedious.

  • From memory it respawns the low level enemies constantly, since they're just ammo/health/armour pinatas. You needed to kill the big enemies to complete an arena.

    Not really a fan of the design choice, but I had a decent amount of fun when I clicked with how the Devs wanted you to play.

  • Elon Musk’s X is betting that Australia is too weak to protect its elections
  • This changes the effect of negative campaigning (people still show up in Aus vs the US), but the idea is to dissuade people from voting for someone, rather than encourage them to vote for you. This might have a positive effect on votes for the party doing the negative campaigning, but I think it's a poor definition of convincing someone to vote for you.

  • Elon Musk’s X is betting that Australia is too weak to protect its elections
  • I don't think this is a useful definition of voting for

    which implicitly gets them to vote for you.

    Seems to only be true if you think of there being only 2 parties, which is why I don't think the definition is good.

  • Elon Musk’s X is betting that Australia is too weak to protect its elections
  • Compulsory voting means any campaign has to be focused on actually getting people to vote for you

    I don't think this is necessarily true, did you miss the massive amounts of negative campaigning that happens every election?

  • internet points
  • While its true that there are open-access journals and conferences without such costs

    To publish open access normally costs upwards of $3k USD as well. There's practically no point in the publishing chain where academics aren't getting screwed.

    Let's also not forget that you have to review other people's papers for the journal for free.

  • Hopefully this means it will be a full trial with an outcome unbiased by media
  • The rate of false accusations of rape is really hard to determine but is generally regarded as being pretty low (Vicpol puts it at ~5% based on studies). It's also extremely hard to get a good number though, since false does not mean unfounded.

    I don't think it's justified drawing an equivalence between rape and rape accusations given the evidence we have on the rates, it makes it seem like false accusations are happening way more than they actually are.

    Also given who this probably is, this is likely not the only accusation of rape also, which decreases the likelihood the accusations are false I would suggest.

  • Seven Peter Dutton lies on Voice to Parliament corrected - Uluru Statement from the Heart
  • The no campaign is run by pretty seasoned wreckers.

    Just now you haven't answered the queries he had repeatedly made, you've shot them down.

    The same line used by climate change deniers for ages, while they disingenuously repeated the same arguments that had been debunked or were nonsense.

  • Some Australians seem more outraged by accusations of racism than by racism itself
  • The conservatives have been getting worse over the past say, 10 years, Trump kind of accelerated things and that style of "who cares what the truth is" was exported from the US.

    The right wing in general was always going to end up being like this though.
