There was a lot of goopy blood and gore in the game. You could blow off the heads of every killable NPC including the innocent tribals.

Same. It took me months to give it another shot and after that I couldn't stop

"Sprint" is a project management term that describes a focused effort on specific goals, not extra work. It could have been extra work for them, but it would be unrelated to the fact that it was a Sprint.

I understand what you're saying, but the fighting against Lolicon doesn't necessarily take away from the fight against real CSAM. The reality is serious, far-reaching, and, ultimately, human issues like the exploitation of children are complex and require effort on multiple fronts to be effective.

  1. The amount of people warped by COD or Lolicon is not 100%, but it's certainly not 0%
  2. It sounds like you haven't actually played COD because the game is about WARFARE, not domestic terrorism. Maybe ask people who joined the US military how inspired they were by the game

Nobody is protecting digital children and it's almost always disingenuous when this argument is claimed to be made. The effort is to stop the normalization of the sexualization children. Lolicon is exclusively about romancing or sexualizing children. Deluded adults who think what happens in lolicon material is ok are potential risks to real children. Allowing such a risk to children for the pleasure of these adult is absurd.

What is wrong with it? That's exactly what he shows in the video. When betting it all, your changing bet makes equal wins and losses a net loss. The point is betting some fraction such that the gains overtake the losses

My takeaways would be:

  1. Never trust averages on their face
  2. Being consistent gives you an advantage
  3. Always be looking to reevaluate your situation and maximize what you can get out of it

This is true if you're betting everything you have. By not having shrinking bets after losses you can tap into the net gains. Compare 1 win followed by 1 loss with $100 start:

Win is $100+$80 = $180

Loss is $180-$90 = $90

Compare with fixed bets of $50 with bank of $100:

Win is $100+$40 = $140

Loss is $140-$25 = $115

The key is not letting your losses affect your bet amount. With the gain being only 80% instead of 100%, betting your bank means 1 win and 1 loss leaves you with less than you started. Making your bet amount fixed between flips means 1:1 will instead give you a net gain. The Kelly Criterion says there is an optimal proportion of bank you can bet that will maximize this gain over many flips
