  • The whole point of the cat thing was to point out the absurdity of the claim that reality isn’t real until you know about it. The cat is already in whatever state you observe when you open the box. It’s not both alive and dead, it’s either alive or dead. The thought experiment isn’t serious, and it’s not supporting the idea that the cat is somehow magically in both states just because you haven’t yet manipulated the lid of a wooden cube.







  • If it was easy to automate, then spammers, scammers and corporate pigfuckers would completely inundate marketplace with so much garbage it would be utterly unusable. Accept that the only reason your 1 Facebook ad per day produces any results at all is because it’s hard to automate, and if it weren’t, nobody would ever see any of your ads. The fact that you’re hunting for IDs instead of page structure patterns already suggests a novice level, so imagine all you needed was awareness that Selenium exists in order to spam Marketplace to death with MLM ads and scam posts. There are already way too many scam posts when a person actually has to interact with the site. If you could easily do what you want, you wouldn’t be able to sell anything, because >99% of content would be bot posts without aggressive content moderation. That moderation would either be human, which is expensive, or automated, which would be very inaccurate and take down more legitimate posts. There’s no world where you can legitimately automate this and bad actors can’t.

    If I had an answer that would help you, I would never post it because it would actively degrade everyone’s Marketplace experience, including yours, until FB fixed it and made it hard to automate again.


  • People are being entitled taint-lickers. It does suck that its optimization is poor, but I’m on a 4 year-old PC build and my CPU was not top-end even then, with a 3070 and I have had zero issues running it. The space travel should be more interesting, they really fucked up by making space piracy basically impossible, so you can’t ever profit by taking the ships of people who actively try to murder you. There’s a lot that could be more engaging, but also the reviews of Elex are mostly positive and it’s one of the worst, most quest-bugged half finished pieces of shit I’ve ever played, with basically nothing going for it beside decent art and a unique story. The game is trash and I wasted way too much time on it. Starfield is vastly better. Not amazing, but solidly OK. Without the social-media circle-jerk, there is no way the reviews would continue to get worse as they continue to address performance issues and fix bugs.







  • They do wear out eventually, but the end of their useful life is a whole crapload of rounds if they’re well-made, and most good guns can have parts replaced either by the user or by a smith, so you can keep them running a long time if you oil them and keep them relatively rust-free. If a gun is so messed up it can’t fire or if it fails catastrophically and blows up, if it’s truly and permanently at the end of its life, I think most folks do indeed throw them in the trash, assuming they have no historical value. Maybe disassemble them or cut them up with a hacksaw first. Once it stops being able to be a gun anymore, it’s just junk.
