Are you familiar with the subreddit /r/changemyview ? I don't have a topic to discuss right now. But I am against the reddit admins banning a certain topic from being discussed because it's controversial.

Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA?
What can anyone do? The USA has the strongest military force in the world.
And they are being "sanctioned" by tourists avoiding going to the USA

Depends on your hardware (such as your graphics card). But it's definitely possible and a lot of people do it.

Game design question : how to make a "trapped" player character?
Reply in thread
Thank you for the detailed response. The gameplay loop I have in mind is a puzzle game where the thing you're trying to do is usually easy, but you're limited in some way that makes it hard. An example I gave in another comment is : write a computer program that adds two numbers, but you're not allowed to use the + symbol.
I really like your idea of "beneficial spell". I think maybe the knight and enemies are autonomous, and the princess can only do a single action to make the knight succeed.
I remember playing a game like this. It's based on Conway's game of life. The goal is to flip a single cell to make all the cells die after a certain number of turns.

I have in mind a puzzle game. Not a room escape, but more of a code golf-style game. For example, those programming puzzles that say "write a computer program that adds numbers, but you're not allowed to use the + sign anywhere in your code".

How did we go from being against fake pictures of the moon to accepting things like changing out the entire sky?
I don't remember anyone being explicitly against the fake pictures of the moon. Photoshop has been around for decades.

In all seriousness though, I wouldn't pay money to look at pretty pictures. If I wanted an image but AI didn't exist, I wouldn't commission anyone. The image that I want just simply wouldn't exist.

Is the damsel in distress trope just independent?
Reply in thread
Yes, you're right (except it's not a joke). Not sure why the other person seems to be dismissive about model theory, reducing an entire field of mathematics to "people are different and think different things".
But I still wonder : Are there any axioms that can decide the statement about damsels in distress, just like how axioms can be added to ZFC that decide CH, like V=L and proper forcing axioms as I pointed out?

If they're all inconsistent then the real world is inconsistent and therefore the real world doesn't exist since inconsistent systems don't have models. But all the women who think that the damsel in distress trope is harmless fun/perpetuates sexist stereotypes do exist, and they are models so I don't think the theory is inconsistent.

Not sure where you're going with that analogy. The vast majority of text processors do have a button that lets you print the document.

Strongly disagree on the "AI art uses already existing art and can’t create something original or new" part. Are collages new? Is new music new if it uses pre-existing chords? Is parody new?
Unless you think AI just copies/pastes existing art like Google image search (it doesn't), the things that AI creates is new.

Yes but I still think it goes deeper than that. Are there any axioms that can decide the statement about damsels in distress, just like how axioms can be added to ZFC that decide CH, like V=L and proper forcing axioms as I pointed out?

I want to understand why some women seem to enjoy movies and video games that use the damsel in distress trope, despite knowing that in feminist theory it's often considered harmful. I realized that Godel and Cohen proved a very similar result and wonder if their techniques can be applied here as well
Actually, now that I think of it, we can add axioms to ZFC that decide CH. For example, V=L implies it's true, and proper forcing axioms imply that it's false. Can we also add additional axioms to decide whether or not the damsel in distress trope is harmless fun, or sexist against women?

I think it goes deeper than that. There are people who disagree with the axiom of choice, finitists who disagree with the axiom of infinity, etc. But it's a proven theorem (not independent) that ZFC proves the existence of uncountably infinite sets, non-measurable sets, etc. On the other hand, ZFC doesn't prove nor disprove CH.
So it's much deeper than merely "people are different and think different things".
