I have definitely seen studies saying that people who play video games are better surgeons. Surgeons who don't play video games take longer to develop their fine motor coordination to the same level of competence.

Most likely but it's funnier if you don't think about that.

That's the next step. Once we agree that someone is right and someone is wrong, then we can start talking about the definition of "moral good". And that is a very difficult and complicated discussion. But just because it's hard to define doesn't necessarily mean it's not real.

I havent seen that episode, but it is kind of an issue how whenever you try to put a bunch of poor/homeless people together, others start to avoid that area and jobs/services become scarce.

I like the idea of "mixed income housing". Apartment buildings with a mix of free, cheap, and regular priced units. The standard units would probably be valued a bit lower than the normal market price, giving mid-income people an incentive to live there, and the homeless people who move in get to be part of a normal-ish community.

100 homeless people stuck in one place can cause a lot of chaos, but a small small group here and there seems a lot more manageable.

And the income gap is caused in part by the education gap which is caused by the housing gap because schools are funded by property taxes.

There are a lot of systems that need to be fixed.

I will gladly listen to you ramble about your niche interest but only if it is somewhat similar to one of mine.

They're measuring how many people can pass through a fixed point in space in an hour, not how long it takes one person to get from point A to point B.

So not really time or energy, but quantity.

I think the raw oils are not that bad (maybe in quantity it becomes an issue). Coconut oil I know is saturated fat, so that can be bad for your heart.

I think the bigger issue is how they are used in processed food. Just about every processed food has "partially hydrogenated soybean oil" or something like that, which is basically the worst possible thing for cholesterol.

It's the same with how everyone started using Crisco because lard was thought to be unhealthy. It turns out heavily processed vegetable oils are worse.

To add a bit more about Shadow Tactics, it is a top-down 3D game where you control a crew of characters with different abilities (ninja, samurai, sharpshooter, etc.)

It is real time but you can plan actions to happen simultaneously, so it feels really cool to solve the stealth puzzles by combining the characters' different abilities.

Also good atmosphere, voices, story, etc. Just a very good game.

Unfortunately fascist spaces will exist and cannot be prevented because of the core nature of Lemmy/fediverse architecture. Anyone can start their own instance and post whatever they want.

However, if the main popular instances defederate with them, then most users won't have to see those posts.

I haven't used an app for reddit since Alien Blue. I was just on the mobile website. I can still understand the problem with what they're doing. I don't know why so many people can't understand a problem unless it affects them personally.

It matters to them, so I guess you are not the type of user they want. It's annoying, but if they want their server to be more exclusive, they can do that. It is the beauty and the pain of federation.
