You are expecting the people who rely this heavily on AI to know how to actually use a computer?

When do we start blast mining the properties of Fortescue execs?

I would continue to engage with their concerns throughout the process, of course; And pay the 0.0018% fine of my net worth as precedented in this case.

While I agree with your point hat parents need to shoulder a lot more of the responsibility, there is a huge difference between the internet of today and the internet of even 10 years ago.

I grew up online and turned out fine, but I also didn’t have my entire digital identity tied into several social media sites whose only purpose is to make money out of my existence with predatory practices. I didn’t grow up in a world where all communication happened through these sites, and not being on them restricted my access to real world people and businesses. I didn’t grow up in a world where YouTube specifically and deliberately fed me dangerous content in a steady stream because foreign weirdos gamed the algorithm. Sure, I saw the odd beheading video but those links usually came from a real human being.

Nidorina.

It’s one of the first Pokémon in gen 1 that isn’t recognisable as another creature. It feels like the first ‘monster’ you really run into.

I also caught one early in my first playthrough, and didn’t find out about the moon stone evo until very late game. I just thought that Nidorina was the final form. By the time I learnt, I was kind of attached to the middle form.

Yes, the late 90s. Notorious for its lack of racism and misogyny.

Crime rates in black communities were down! Just ignore the increase in arrests and incarceration of black people due to a push for an increased police presence in “bad” neighbourhoods.

Women had the world in their hands! Just ignore that time when the president of the United States took advantage of an intern sexually, and SHE was the one that was vilified for the encounter, while he is still remembered as a chill guy.

There have always been racism and misogyny in our world. If you think there wasn’t, you either weren’t there, or were very white and male at the time.

If I am hiring someone, I want to know that when the internet goes down that they can still do something. I want to be able to talk to them about the job without having to wait for them to run my requests through their robot. I want people who can think, not rearrange words based on an algorithm.

And if I was feeling less generous: Bob learned how to ask a robot to do his job? What the fuck do I need Bob for then? Just give me the agent he trained to help him, and he can go find a job somewhere else.

Learning how to use an agent is not “useful to society”. It helps Bob cut corners, but doesn’t extend him. How does society benefit from a summarised email?

For me, I just don’t see it as the step towards a bright future that it cone was.

So we reinvigorate the world’s interest in space missions, then what? Every iota of evidence from our own planet tells us that businesses are going to own the moon, mars, and beyond. Wayland-Yutani is more likely than The Federation.

I just can’t get excited about another frontier for Musk and Bezos to rub their stanky dicks all over.

All of these things are achievable without paying YouTube.

While I agree that corporate lobbyists are a negative overall, the oil, meat, tobacco, alcohol, and gambling world (just to name a few) have been destroying our world by lobbying politicians for decades. This is an issue that is not going away.

If a company wants to lobby for lgbt rights, HIV research, and access to IVF, they are my least hated lobbying group at the moment.

They’re all run by psychotic dictators, but at least Pooh bear isn’t threatening entire countries over twitter…

What a bar Donny has set.

The game came out.

It was great.

The devs worked on additional biomes, features, and updates.

They were also great.

The devs decided that it was time to shift focus away from a game that they feel is as complete as it needs to be right now.

‘Fans’ throw a temper tantrum.

The devs have been very open with communication throughout development and after. This feels like fans forming a paradoxical relationship with a development studio and getting butthurt when that relationship isn’t two way.

the pharmaceutical quality products that dominate the industry.

I didn’t realise that the slimy guy who runs the 24hr convenience store and stares at the high school girls who come in just a little too long was using pharmaceutical grade materials to make his black market vapes.

If your response to a study on vaping risks is “just buy the pharmaceutical grade product”, you sound like the people who bought into the “filtered cigarettes are better for you” lie.

I think your math might be off by a decimal there…

Still nothing to turn a nose up at.

I meant that they could break into that 100k a year, find somewhere bigger, and still have enough leftover to cover a minimum wage. But you are right, they could probably cover it a couple of times over.

What the fuck am I reading here? Is NYT trying out satire?

This feels like a sob story about a family tightening their belts in the current economy. But these fuckers are saving more in a month than most couples earn!

They talk about living in a one-bedroom like they couldn’t spend more than 10% of their income on a larger space, and still save an entire minimum wage’s worth of money a year without breaking a sweat.

When you can pay for zoo memberships and museums, and still be saving over 100K a year, you are not like the rest of the world.

There is no way the prices are dropping. When the price of fuel tipped over $1/L here, it just became the new baseline. The base price now is $2.20/L, and even if the price of oil in general drops, I can not fathom businesses going below that new baseline once people become accustomed to the cost.

Ah, I can feel the desire for sin leaving my body. Thank you Australian government!

I felt exactly the same way. I only got to Alfheim (with the elf civil war?) before I realised I’d be doing the exact same gameplay cycle for the next 20 hours, and bailed out. The Wikipedia article explains the plot, and I don’t feel like I missed anything.

But Harris is the best candidate… For the interests of the wealthy members of the DNC.

She will keep things exactly how they are, but act like they have changed for the better. The rich will get richer, and the poor will get assaulted by police.

Why would the DNC give a single fuck about the desires of anyone but themselves? They suffer no consequences for their actions.

Here is the article from Kings College with a link to the full results:

I do believe that some countries are skewing the results, but the ratios across the board are worrying.

Though this could be due to the phrasing of questions. “Do you define yourself as a feminist?” Is a question that by its very nature is going to skew towards a negative result. I personally hold very strong feminist values and promote them openly, but would still struggle to agree that I ‘define’ myself as feminist.
