What Yang is actually objecting to if, if you read his points, having online meetings at all. Many of the points he gives apply to any meeting; others apply to any electronic communication ("lengthening the workday"), and the whole drat thing ignores disability.

Madkal posted:Hey guys, I hate to be that person but what's a "Nerf"? It originally meant making something in a game less powerful, e.g. changing a gun to do 4 damage every shot rather than 5. For the last couple years people have been using it to describe cosmetic changes they don't like. Often things like shrinking a character's breasts or having a female character wear less revealing clothing.

Madkal posted:Hey guys, I hate to be that person but what's a "Nerf"? In video game terms it's when something has been made less effective, weaker. "oh man that Mortal Strike nerf has reduced it's damage by 20%" The opposite of a Buff! That was the nerdiest thing I've written in a while. Edit: fwiw I've never seen it being used for anything cosmetic before.

Madkal posted:Hey guys, I hate to be that person but what's a "Nerf"? In video games it's when they release a patch that makes a character/ weapon/ability less powerful. They do it frequently for online games because you'll have dozens to hundreds of people testing a game before release then tens of thousands or more playing it, so the larger group will find niche strategies that are so good anyone not using them is significantly weaker. If part of the hype for a game is a large variety of characters/weapons, having one be so much better than the others the vast majority of players are using it is bad for business.

The word does come from the Nerf brand though, specifically 'They reduced the damage on this gun so much they practically turned it into a Nerf gun!' And then the term gets expanded to cover anything that is reduced or weakened in a way the players see as bad, like anime tiddies.

It's like that old joke, "What do you call the person who came in last in their class at medical school?" Except usually you need actual credentials to get into med school. For a more relevant example: that goon who made the thread about walking across the US but gave up 2 days in because his clothes were too heavy graduated from Harvard.

The thing is, nerfing in the traditional sense isn't actually a bad thing inherently. I don't want to play an online game with dozens of options where it becomes impossible to compete unless you use the exact same thing as everyone else, and if you try and balance that out purely by making other options more powerful you eventually reach a point where it doesn't matter what you use in any way because it just becomes "whoever get's the first shot/spell/power activation off first wins."

But they still hide what they know is an objectionable idea behind one that they know is more broadly likely to recieve support.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Can we just come up with a technical term for 'guy over 40 who grooms women under 20' and be done with it? Like we don't jave to make it illegal, just generally acknowledged to be loving creepy. I personally think it's valuable to keep calling them "pedophiles" because it makes a certain kind of person pop out of the woodwork to correct you, which is a valuable service. What value would be gained by having a term that doesn't make people tell on themselves as easily?

I made the mistake of clicking the "before" video link which I guess is there to show us what we're missing? I regret it. anime was a mistake. Weebs are a mistake. Also if you can still view a thing anytime you want it's not "censored" you pedo dipshit.

I'm wondering how they handled the pandemic...

Native Americans just sprouted up out of the soil I guess. Note: Matt Gaetz is now apparently on a retweet streak of any post that calls his pedophilia fake. This includes luminaries of thought like Glenn Greenwald and Harlan "Pissguzzler" Hill
