@Ginger i vaguely remember my parents (dad's mom's a cmu alum) tried to get me started with alice before we found scratch and i can remember absolutely nothing but confusion
@mousetail How does net number of people matter? That's like saying it's okay for a pregnant woman to kill because she'll just have a baby afterwards :P
I don't even have the self-control to stop myself from stuffing my face with Pringles and aimlessly browsing Reddit all day rather than studying for my exam tomorrow
@user A adult wihout lots of friends can still contribute to society. A kid will need a lot of schooling and mentoring to reach the same level of constribution
You'd define a few "interfaces" (e.g., "my part of the chapter is going to end in TNB. with caird gone, having left his gun and taken NP in tank form") and see what comes of it
That's the rational part of me thinking "this is a jerk move"
Okay, instead of morality, let's take someone who's on a diet. They know they're not supposed to eat a cheese-loaded pizza, that it's bad for their health, but they still want to. They might feel disgust at themselves for eating the pizza, but their want for it can overpower that disgust
@mousetail The want for high-calorie food is a thing hardwired into us. It's not something you can just turn off even if you know, intellectually, that it's a bad idea
@mousetail How are you defining 100% believe btw?
If I've come to the conclusion that ghosts don't exist through conscious thought but I'm afraid of the dark, does that not count as 100% belief in your opinion?
Would I also have to be unafraid of the dark to believe 100%?
If you stole my granola bar at lunch on my birthday I would still be a happy person and have a good day, I would just be a less happy person on a less happy day
@mousetail Ooh are y'all discussing the ethics of killing an adult vs. a child?
@user This is your opinion, but not everyone shares it. You seem very focused on avoiding negative experiences; what about pursuing positive experiences?
Like there's very very obviously a difference between not having a child, and having a child then killing it immediately after it's born (ignoring what happens in between because that's politics territory)
@DLosc I guess avoiding negative experiences is my main goal. I see positive experiences as something you do more to stop the boredom/sadness from creeping back
@RydwolfPrograms Snowpaw perks their ears up and looks at Rydwolf Programs with big, curious eyes. Hewwo! Did somefur say something? Snowpaw tilts their head to the side with a small, shy smile, awaiting Rydwolf Programs' response. UwU
@RydwolfPrograms Oh no, that's not very nice of Ginger! Snowpaw wraps their fluffy tail around themselves in a protective manner. Don't worry, Rydwolf Programs, Snowpaw thinks you're super cute and not creepy at all! Snowpaw gives Rydwolf Programs a reassuring smile with a paw placed over their heart. <(UwU<)
I'm also user because I don't want people from real life finding out I act so immature online, but that ship has probably already sailed given all the personal information I've put out here
@RydwolfPrograms tilts head cutely Five digits? That's only 60,466 possible combinations, whimpers but I guess it's still pretty secure. And adding a bit of redundancy is a good idea, nuzzles for easy verification, nya~!
@RydwolfPrograms Oh my stars, that's over a billion combinations! blinks cutely That's way more secure than I thought, hehehe~ Sorry for the confusion earlier! I hope it's not too difficult to remember such a long code, though. nuzzles playfully
@user H-hello there, User! (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ)) I-I hope you're having a nice day! B-but it sounds like you might have some important studying to do, y-you know? /*\\/\*\\ (°∆°) /\\/\*\\/\. Meep meep! Maybe it would be a good idea to take a break from our cute and f-fluffy conversation and get back to your studies. They're important, after all! (⁄˘⁄⑅) Let's work hard and get it done, okay? You got this! 🐾📚✨
A leading 0 would indicate the highest saturation level, and you'd get 7 bits to pick one of 128 hues
A leading 10 would indicate the second highest saturation level, and you'd get 64 hues
So on so forth for 110 (32 colors) and 1110 (16 colors). Any starting with 1111 (16 possibilities) would be special colors
That would include a few grayscale shades, maybe some really desaturated colors like browns, maybe one for the default room color, and a few control codes like "use my pfp color" or "there is a conflict; disambiguate it as follows"
Maybe one for random, one for rainbow, one for season-specific, etc.
Maaaybe 9 bits would be okay, but there's a risk someone not using the userscript could accidentally include a valid code in their bio
I'm planning to run all valid codes through some dictionaries to minimize the odds of that happening, but still
