  • “Evolutionary reason” does not necessarily mean that a feature is an advantage. Mutations are random and then positive or negative selective pressure act on them untill the mutation is either extinct or is adopted by the whole population. For features without selective pressure the same thing still happens it just takes longer and is basically random. So different populations of a species will always develop different features even when given the same environment.

    So for most of the features you listed: yeah it just happened.


  • You didn’t read the article did you? Its not about the inclusion of a character, but about how a specific scene with that character is handled. The author claims it is completely jarring, doesn’t fit into the games setting and doesn’t even use the games existing lore for transgender people but instead uses modern terminology.

    I found the article to very informative and not at all “gamergatey”.

    Its points are:

    • this is the scene
    • it is bad
    • here is exelent trans representation in a fantasy setting
    • “its a BioWare self insert”
    • this is how they could have handled it better
    • the game is great, but now everybody will just talk about woke, so again the game is good

    The ghost is sad because it locked itself out/forgot the key inside. Second ghost shows up an tells them to just warp through because they are ghosts. But instead of being happy they are inside and never needed the key, they try to move the key outside so they can unlock the door to get inside.

    And the brain didn’t even know it was naming itself.

    The ancient Egyptians removed the brain before mummification because they considerd it to be basically useless. Later associations between motor control of muscles and the brain were discovered but it wasn’t until the development of modern neuroscience that the brain was considered to be the seat of awareness, self and intelligence.

    Client isolation doesn’t help. That is just the access point not routing traffic between connected devices. The problem with WiFi is it is a radio signal. Everybody in range can receive 100% of all communication on that network. Just by being in range the attacker can do passive sniffing. No wiretap needed like with cabled networks.

    WiFi is encryoed if it uses a password. So any public WiFi without a password can be sniffed by literally every device in range (no need to connect to the WiFi for sniffing). On public WiFi with a password, the radio signal is encrypted but everybody knows the encryption key. So everybody connected to the WiFi can still sniff the traffic of everybody else.

    That encryption is only on the WiFi level, so encrypted radio signals, not on the actually traffic level (like TLS/HTTPS etc).

    Und der Patient der Symptome 10 Jahre mit globuli bekämpft und dann an einer vorbeugbaren Krankheit stirbt? Klar kein (gescheider) Arzt behandelt akut gefährliche Krankheiten mit globuli aber wenn durch Verzicht auf funktionierende Medizin später ein schlimmeres Krankheitsbild auftritt, liegt dies auch in der Verantwortung des Arztes.
