That’s a much better inclination.

Cow Milk? Yes/No?

That’d be my first thought, in your line of thinking.

… but you can tie that back to… bloodlines, lineage, peoplegroups, haplogroups, whatever word you want to use.

Most east asians just literally do not have the genetic lineage to support regular consumption of dairy products, the way most europeans do.

Because… we (hi, I’m white) come from a long line of cow milk drinkers, east asians do not.

Its funny reading a bunch of article headlines like “why are so many east asians lactose intolerant?”

No. Fucking, no.

We’re the weird ones.

We are the ones who essentially decided to become mutants, due to our dietary choices.

What other animal regularly drinks the milk of another species of animal?

Here’s another weird one:

Redheads.

(At least broadly ‘white european’ redheads)

They … experience pain differently.

While they have an overall higher pain tolerance, they are also more sensitive to certain kinds of pain, and they need a somewhat higher dosage of something like novacaine to experience the same levels of pain reduction as a non redhead.

So basically, if you have a redheaded east asian child, don’t give them a high dairy diet.

You’ll hurt them, literally.

(this is mostly a joke, i dont really know if … that would be the case. it seems to follow, as … the two things i described, they seem to operate independently on different genes/gene clusters, but genetics is all about finding out how things you would not expect to be connected, actually are)

I mean… yes, thats true, but its more complicated than that.

At the end of WW2, elements within the Japanese military and government executed an ultranationalist coup attempt.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyūjō_incident

In broad strokes, the Emperor was planning to surrender, after the Potsdam Conference, after the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, after the Soviet Union declared war on Japan.

A significant number of military higher ups, many various officers… decided that was bullshit, and concocted a plan to take the Imperial family hostage, destroy the Emperor’s recorded speech that was to announce the surrender and urge all Japanese people to actually surrender.

This plan ended up failing, but maybe now you can see that significant portions of the Japanese military wanted to keep fighting, literally to death.

So, if you’re trying to make sure that something like this coup does not reoccur in the years following surrender… it makes some sense to try and support the people who wanted to comply with you, wanted to end the war, who would and actually could ensure stability.

Consider an alternative example.

Iraq, 2003-6.

The US basically just wholesale dismantles the Iraqi government, including its military, which was a significant source of employment for a lot of people.

Those former Iraqi military members then go on to be a very significant, effective and capable element of the Iraqi “Insurgency”/Resistance, for… what, 10, 15 years?

Can you not imagine something like that playing out in Japan, up into the 1960s?

I’m not trying to endorse or defend anybody’s policies or actions here… I’m just trying to point out that it’s more complicated than how you summarize it.

Thats fucking amazing.

That’s the IRL / performance art equivalent of “ceci n’est pas une pipe.”

Man, I’ve been homeless and seen some wild shit on busses… fairly regularly…

That?

What you’ve just described?

That’s expectional even to me.

God damn.

If you were from, where I was from, you’d be fucking dead.

It is entirely within Scouts character to just… “yo, knucklehead, scoot over”, and then just put on his headset when the screaming resumes.

Though, being from Boston, and being exceptionally prideful… that may cause some issues on the NYC subway.

… this is basically a FarSide one panel.

You’re talking to a person who was homeless for 2 years, is currently seruously crippled, doing my own physical therapy because the US healthcare system is completely broken and unaffordable, and is writing this message to you from a piece of shit gas station cell phone that I have somehow managed to keep working through 2 blizzards over two years, that I experienced fully outdoors, while travelling about 2000 miles, with nothing but the clothes on my back.

I’ve been building pcs out of spare parts, salvage and scrap since the 90s.

You can fuck right off with your first world privilege bullshit and learn how to speak English if you want to converse in it.

No its not no loss, because if Steam figures out you have a real account and a ‘cracked’ account, they can ban both.

I’ve personally known hackers this has happened to.

See your hardware has a unique identifier. They know your’re running the same machine with dual accounts, if you do it often enough, doesn’t matter if you use a vpn or whatever.

Anyway, sure, ok, this apparently allows you to spoof your way into Steam’s multiplayer system.

I don’t see where that is stated, but maybe I missed it.

So… this would only make sense with games that are entirely reliant on steam for networking, where you can’t host a local server or use something like hamachi…

So, what, you’re 12 and want to play a cracked, probably also hacked, version of CS2 or ARK? Maybe DOTA2?

… You know Valve has a track record of criminally prosecuting people who hack their shit, right?

Were you around when the HL2 Beta leak happened, because some guy penetrated Valve’s internal systems, basically did a smash and grab?

Yeah they pretended they were impressed, wanted to hire this guy, told him to fly on over from Europe for a job interview.

The guy did that, and then… he was arrested when he got off the plane.

Wait what, wtf is this thing?

It emulates/fakes you owning a game, but not in the sense of actually owning a game, it just… allows you to collect Steam Achievements… as if you do own the game?

This seems like the kinda thing where if you get caught, instant total Steam account ban.

EDIT:

Entirely seriously, it would make more sense to just use the Steam Family share system, just find a Steam oriented lemmy comm and propose making some kind of small game sharing group.

All you’d have to figurr out is who gets to be ‘Mom’ and set the rules… but other than that, if you have access to a game via a family share?

And you get achievements?

Those are real, they stick, and you i think even get cards or gems or what not for playing the legitimately shared game.

You just have to be able handling sharing, lol.

Seeing as I basically no longer consider MAGATs to be truly sentient, much less sapient:

She was going to go super deep into the research route until she learned she was violently allergic to the rats then life just kinda happened from there.

That’s the real tragedy here, damn, that fucking sucks.

EDIT:

Uh, anyway, yeah I’m an autist too, don’t have a degree in psych or pharma, but I do have pattern recognition, curiosity, analytical skills… and a whole fuckton of ©PTSD from my own truly astoundingly dysfunctional family.

As in: I ghosted them / went no contact with them so hard that they very probably think I am dead.

Your uncle?

This is what you call Oppositional Defiance Disorder, plus also being in a death cult.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/oppositional-defiant-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20375831

Even the best-behaved children can be difficult and challenging at times. But oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) includes a frequent and ongoing pattern of anger, irritability, arguing and defiance toward parents and other authority figures. ODD also includes being spiteful and seeking revenge, a behavior called vindictiveness.

These emotional and behavioral issues cause serious problems with family life, social activities, school and work. But as a parent, you don’t have to try to manage a child with ODD alone. Your health care provider, a mental health professional and a child development expert can help.

These are adults with an adult version of a pathological vindictiveness that is generally seen in ‘problem children’.

They literally are whiny, pissy, adult toddlers.
