Sorry, but this is absolutely a victory for democracy and what little structure our government still has. If the states were to be allowed to remove candidates from the ballot, you could kiss any chance of Democrat candidates showing up on red state ballots goodbye.

Extremist incel males are "stupid" cos they didn't use grammer cos "feminist thing" or cos they are "stupid" they didn't use grammer and "they are so masculine"?

I believe it's just intended to be foreshadowing of Gollum's fate, not suggesting that Frodo actually used the ring on him.

I fully don't get why people are reacting so much to this. Why the fuck shouldn't I vote against Biden in the primary? He's going to be the nominee regardless, this is exactly the time for Democrats to get out those protest votes.

They're interrelated, and important to talk about together in this context. Sometimes it's more useful to look at what the asker is trying to accomplish than simply answering exactly what was asked.

This is nostalgia talking. In the OG trilogy, Thrawn was killed in a painfully obvious coup that any competent commander should have seen coming for miles. His constant dismissal of the Noghiri was idiotic. He may not have known Leia was Vader's daughter, but something was obviously happening with their society that he just waved away like nothing.

In Ahsoka, he has next to nothing to work with, uses his meager resources efficiently, and achieves his only goal completely (aside from Ezra's infiltration anyway). Babylon's betrayal is the only reason the heroes achieve anything at all. At the end of the day, Thrawn has always been a fun character who primarily looks like a genius compared to the complete idiocy of other imperials.

Because that's exactly what makes owning a home impossible instead of simply unrealistically difficult? Our system may be trash, but that attitude is just shooting yourself in the foot while you give everything you have to Papa Bezos.

If everywhere you go smells like shit...

I get where you're coming from, and it would be great if it was at all possible to reliably identify internet sarcasm, but at this point the waters are so muddy it's impossible to tell. I have absolutely no faith in anyone online at this point, and most of us are here in the Fediverse specifically because we're so sick of the crazies all over other social media. I can easily believe there are people that would share exactly what you typed above and mean it.

Frankly, sarcasm is already the laziest, most braindead form of humor anyway. If you can't even be bothered to at least make it clear you're joking, it's really a 'you' problem if you get misunderstood.

No is arguing otherwise.

One paper does not make a "fact". Years of established research and widespread consensus barely justifies labeling a subject as a "fact".

Have you already forgotten the room temperature superconductor claims from last year?

Let me be absolutely clear. I am in no way trying to discredit this paper. I see no reason to question their findings, it's good science and absolutely should be followed up on. However, I take strong exception to people jumping on any half decent study and treating it as gospel.

Holy fuck what a stupid response.

Here's some recommended reading, hope it helps: https://kids.kiddle.co/Hypothesis

One published paper is never sufficient to claim anything as fact. To suggest otherwise is purely ignorance.

That is absolutely antithetical to the scientific process. Nothing is considered 'fact' until rigorously proven. This is interesting evidence that absolutely warrants criticism.

"Most of the time, when people ask me a question, it's the wrong question and they just didn't know to ask a different question instead."

"I've tried asking ChatGPT "How do I get the relative path from a string that might be either an absolute URI or a relative path?" It spat out 15 lines of code for doing it manually. I ain't gonna throw that maintenance burden into my codebase. So I clarified: "I want a library that does this in a single line." And it found one."

You see the irony right? I genuinely can't fathom your intent when telling this story, but it is an absolutely stellar example.

You can't give a good answer when people don't ask the right questions. ChatGPT answers are only as good as the prompts. As far as being a "plagiarizing, shameless bullshitter of a monkey paw" I still don't think it's all that different from the results you get from people. If you ask a coworker the same question you asked chatGPT, you're probably going to get a line copied from a Google search that may or may not work.

How is that structurally different from how a human answers a question? We repeat an answer we "know" if possible, assemble something from fragments of knowledge if not, and just make something up from basically nothing if needed. The main difference I see is a small degree of self reflection, the ability to estimate how 'good or bad' the answer likely is, and frankly plenty of humans are terrible at that too.

Future generations won't forgive us for a whole lot of very good reasons.

Since I'm sure there will be others who don't bother to read:

Nofap communities tend to have a large overlap with extremist hate communities, and are often used to spread harmful and misleading rhetoric.

There's also no observable benefit to not masturbating. The proponents portray it as some scientifically proven secret, but it's the same scam as homeopathy and Gweneth Paltrow's vagina eggs. Big, vague, impossible to disprove health claims supported by anecdote after anecdote.

Why on earth would you expect people here to defend stupid ass laws in the US? We have more reason than anyone to fucking hate them, but that doesn't make your nonsense any less of a pointless strawman and a waste of time to respond too. Enjoy the five minutes you sucked out of life with this absolute waste of bits.

Yeah, that one is real competition - at least gameplay wise - and a wonderful example of taking inspiration from Pokemon while still making something their own. It really deserves more attention than it got.

Well you can pretty well bet that won't happen as long as Microsoft is steering the ship.

I mean, it's more competition for ARK than Pokemon. I doubt Game Freak learns anything from all this unfortunately.
