My name is u/inkjet_printerman, and if being obnoxiously meta about your delivery didn't work, Deadpool & Wolverine never would have happened, and neither would have another apropos example that I can't immediately think of, therefore: I'm going to quote this Wikipedia article and propose rhetorical questions that sound borderline parodical of a conspiratorial NEET's weed-binge paranoia to deliver a shallow predictive analysis of a profoundly disturbing, demonstrably cruel and practiced form of psychological torture that leaves its victims with little to no recourse, or even anyone to believe them in the midst of their victimization.

And to be clear, there are much more serious, much more profound, much more analytical, much more reverent ways of approaching this topic, like, from the perspective of the millions of disenfranchised citizens who have been beaten physically and psychologically their whole lives, and who might rightly laugh at the thought of another person only in adulthood coming to terms with what they have experienced and known as a daily reality. I'm not writing that book, not because I can't, but because it isn't worth the pain!

"Zersetzung is a technique to subvert and undermine an opponent."

"The Stasi used Zersetzung tactics both on individuals and groups. There was no particular homogeneous target group, as opposition in the GDR came from a number of different sources. Tactical plans were separately adapted to each perceived threat.^([65]) The Stasi defined several main target groups:^([28])

• associations of people making collective visa applications for travel abroad
• artists' groups critical of the government
• religious opposition groups
• youth subculture groups
• groups supporting the above (human rights and peace organisations, those assisting illegal departure from the GDR, and expatriate and defector movements).

The Stasi occasionally used Zersetzung on non-political organisations regarded as undesirable, "

Let's say you're a loudmouth little fucker with a couple hundred friends on Facebook and you really really don't like your city's councilpersons, and one day you start going live and going to your city council meetings, walking in there shouting about the bus route not having been updated in 10 years, or how the same neighborhoods have been undeveloped for 30 years, or how the same 3 cops have been killing, raping, and robbing for about 5 years..

" The aim was to disrupt the target's private or family life so they are unable to continue their "hostile-negative" activities towards the state. Typically, the Stasi would use collaborators to garner details from a victim's private life. They would then devise a strategy to "disintegrate" the target's personal circumstances—

-their career, their relationship with their spouse, their reputation in the community. They would even seek to alienate them from their children. [...]

The security service's goal was to use Zersetzung to "switch off" regime opponents.

After months and even years of Zersetzung a victim's domestic problems grew so large, so debilitating, and so psychologically burdensome that they would lose the will to struggle against the East German state.

Best of all, the Stasi's role in the victim's personal misfortunes remained tantalisingly hidden. The Stasi operations were carried out in complete operational secrecy. The service acted like an unseen and malevolent god, manipulating the destinies of its victims."

How easy is it today to gather up every little tidbit of a person's life, their close friends, their community, their likeness, their consumption habits, their likes, dislikes, sexual proclivities, political leanings? And haven't we seen our institutions be co-opted by a technocratic elite that have made their billions off of the immense treasure trove of personal information that we offer them, while we continue to participate in a globalized economic system of commerce that proliferates their means of exploitation?

" With Zersetzung one can influence hostile and negative individuals across different operational political activities, especially the hostile and negative aspects of their dispositions and beliefs, so these are abandoned and changed little by little, and, if applicable, the contradictions and differences between the hostile and negative forces would be laid open, exploited, and reinforced**.**

The goal of Zersetzung is the fragmentation, paralysis, disorganization, and isolation of the hostile and negative forces, in order to preventatively impede the hostile and negative activities, to largely restrict, or to totally avert them, and if applicable to prepare the ground for a political and ideological reestablishment. "

A couple of years ago I was watching myself lose my mind on my phone, consuming short form content, listening to the stupidest motherfuckers on the planet, because for some reason the place I had been going to for my entertainment, for my escape, had been plastered wall to wall with their faces, and their ideas, and their idols, and for a while I was almost convinced that this was normal! Almost!

Except, I kept going out and doing things, seeing people, talking to people, despite some traumatic shit that I had gone through, traumatic shit that makes me type about Zersetsung today, traumatic shit I can't talk to you about because this isn't a safe place for you or me or anyone, I don't know if it ever was but I know damn sure it isn't today, and I'm damn sure it won't be tomorrow. And I found some baby pictures of mine, and pictures from my childhood, I found memories of my dad lifting me up on his shoulders at the beach, I remembered who I was, and where I came from, and what I believe in, and I got to wake up from a manufactured, commercial mass psychosis.

"A British Defense Attache, Rear Admiral Tim Woods, declared he was targeted with Zersetzung-like methods while staying in Ukraine in 2020, in the general context of Russian preparations for invasion. He stated: 'My wife and I used to have, shall we say, uninvited guests at our apartment. There was one occasion back in 2020 when I was traveling, and she heard some - she heard noise in the middle of the night. And when she had gone to bed the night before, our then one-year-old had a big floor puzzle that was to all four corners of the dining room. And my wife came in in the morning, it was all beautifully done. There were other times when candelabras would be up - moved upside down. And things would be moved around demonstrably to know - just to let us know that, you know, we'd been visited and that they could do that.'"

And at any point someone could choose to spend some of their millions to buy up a digital package with a profile of me and everything I've ever bought, pretty much every website I've ever visited, and maybe even get their hands on a black market stream of commercial cell tower pings and find out when I'm going in and out of the house, and, take those photos..

I mean, that's schizo shit homie, and that's out of the realm of my expectations, I haven't stepped on THOSE toes.. or have I?

"Zersetzung must be produced on the basis of a root cause analysis of the facts and the exact definition of a concrete goal. Zersetzung must be executed in a uniform and supervised manner; its results must be documented."

I'll end with this:

We'd be naïve to believe that the results of a modern, much more privatized version of Zersetzung will be documented, or even must be documented.

I set down a camera module, the editor POV automatically switches to the camera POV, then it stays there even if I delete the camera module.

So far the only way I've been able to exit the camera module POV is by deleting the camera, then opening the "quick camera preview", at which point the editor will throw an error (no camera module), and boot me back to free view.

Is there a hotkey that resets the editor POV so I don't have to delete the camera module?

// trying to get these sheep to move back and forth between these 4 points within the fence, but they ignore it completely

It's not possible to set waypoints for them unfortunately, there's some restriction on green icon assets.

Init box is open though so I'm trying for a hail mary so they don't escape the pen

fixed the Z axis typos (values >0.1) but that didn't change anything

Tried to follow this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1877568946

Anyone ran into something similar?

given x rotation(89.936) y rotation(49.066) and z rotation(359.953) how do I determine the output values for a rotation that would flip this wall segment upside down 180 degrees on the unavailable axis (pink line)?

I don't know anything my brain is literally the mirror image of an atrophied, rotten walnut, I don't understand basic inflection, and am incapable of perceiving facetiousness, thanks!
