  • You know, you do you in Humor communities. I personally don’t expect to find the most serious of comments under posts in those.

    Anyhow…Naturally there is a good argument to be made about making good comments. And that it may be a good idea to not comment things that are probably obvious. Just so that the file is a shorter read.

    It’s tricky to quantify education globally when there are different school systems that can’t be compared against each other. For example because there is no direct comparison that could be made against say… A college.

    What is generally universal is university degrees but even those can vary wildly in quality. The same goes for having learned a job. Hell some countries don’t even accept university degrees from other countries because they don’t meet the local standards.

    The thing about years or time spent in education is that people can spend additional years in education if they fail a class. And nine years of education may just be as good as someone who had ten years but failed in one year. It also doesn’t account for other differences like people that spent additional time in one year for additional education.

    Anyhow, there is no simple way to quantify education. If you look at the percentage of people who graduated you may get a better idea but then you still need to differentiate between education systems and how many people in a given country actually got a given graduation. Even then it doesn’t tell you anything about how good the education actually is because education can be manipulated.

    Years of time spent in school ≠ education level.

    You can spend lots of time there and still be dumb as a rock that learned many things but didn’t understand any of them. On the contrary you can have people that got the short end of the stick and got cut off from further time in education that are really smart.


  • I don’t own either current gen consoles. But I do have a rather up to date PC. I don’t have any current gen consoles when I owned some before (360, PS4) because I don’t like how they handle those consoles. I don’t run windows anymore because I disagree that MY PC that I built is somehow Microsoft’s property if I use their software. I used to be a Halo fan but ever since Halo 4 the series has been rather… Mediocre and I just don’t have time for sub par experiences. In fact I have not touched any AAA titles in so long because they have all been overly save and boring.

    I don’t hate every big company making games,in fact I miss the old Ubisoft from the early 2000s or valve or blizzard (save of a few things) or…

    Either way, the market isn’t infinite and at some point keeping the existing player base is probably a good idea. So is not pissing of customers with practices that are predatory. Ultimately wild uncontrolled growth is also known as cancer.


  • Realistically a good starting point to read up on could be about admin privileges. Or ring 0 in software. It basically boils down to the fact that anything that is running as root ( or with admin privileges) can read and write to ANY file it wants to. Effectively having full control over the system.

    In other words it could be used to do anything they want with your pc. An example of that actually happening is the anti Cheat that genshin impact is using because that was exploited in that way already.
