This is one of the reasons why I don't host other people's data. I'd consider this option if there was another technical person among users with whom I could share workload and risks like a sudden death.

Being in the industry, I don't think they are. Forums attract chronically online and miserable people who are not there for beginners but for their own motives.

It's probably easier to maintain clean and dedicated distribution packages rather than putting everything into one giant pile. I'm not a maintainer, but I imagine this is similar to coding.

Of all arbitrary things we celebrate, this is probably the least idiotic.

Regarding fear, our results show that this emotion is higher in the catcalling situation, however, there is no significant difference with the control condition. This suggests that experiencing an urban underground environment at night from a woman’s perspective is inherently fear-inducing, independent of explicit harassment.

Does it, though? It would be better if they had a control group where participants used a male avatar. My understanding is that both groups used female avatars:

In the experimental condition, the avatars used typical Italian catcalling expressions (documented in newspaper articles and sociological research on the topic of verbal street harassment), while in the control group (condition), the avatars posed general questions to the participants.

I have no doubt that it can be scary for a woman to be in this setting in real life. However, I'd like to see scientific proof that this feeling can be specifically induced in men who are controlling female characters in VR. Right now, it's more of an assumption, isn't it? As a gamer, I know that the location itself can be scary, that sound design (music, ambient sounds, voice acting) can be frightening, and that trying VR for the first time can also be uncomfortable.

Python and bootstrap. Honestly, piefed feels like someone's final cs50 project - which is why I'm hesitant to jump.

What's is your rebuttal for it?

Don't waste your time and energy on arguments with people who don't want to listen.
