Well I'm not surprised to see that Neom is going wrong in both stupid and horrifying ways. This particular part will make it hard to be too smug about it with the Saudi fanboys though... This is just sad.
Yes, but the point is that I will encounter thousands of men in my life, and I may be assaulted by one of them yes, but there will be thousands of them who don't.
Each individual encounter with a bear is much more likely to end in death - even though bears often won't attack you. The proportion of encounters with bears that ends in an attack is much higher than the proportion of encounters with men.
Look I have a healthy level of caution around men, I completely get why other women choose the bear. It's a fairly silly hypothetical, and if asked in the street I would probably have answered bear with my tongue in my cheek too. However, presented with an actual bear and an actual man I will obviously choose the man because they are much less dangerous than bears.
The whole point of this "discourse" (at least as I understand it) is that men are a more realistic and present danger than bears. The fact that women choose the bear shows the level of threat that they feel on a daily basis. But trying to actually compare the genuine level of danger presented by a single encounter with a random man and a random bear, the man comes out on top. Undeniably.
To be honest a lot of this conversation has made me rethink this position. I'm trans so I have experience of being perceived as a man... And honestly I do feel for the men who don't understand. Fear of men is justified, but I worry that conversations like this slide us further and further away from reasonable caution and towards hatred, and that makes me sad and worried for how the future will look. The more that men feel attacked by women, especially feminism, the less they will support us - and we do need their support.
If I understand correctly something like "touch AI" is already used, at least on keyboards. It's actually very difficult to touch what you think you're touching on a phone screen, so your device does some degree of prediction of where you really wanted to touch.
I mean going vegetarian or vegan by definition reduces your options.
That said, there are lots of delicious slow cooked vegan foods. Despite what the other commenter says, there certainly are flavours & textures available that are not easily accessed on the hob, even eating plant based.
Not just that, but don't acknowledge that it is a masquerade. Wrestling is "real" in that the performers and fans act like it is, even though everyone knows it isn't.
Obviously there's quite a difference between fucking a cow and artificially inseminating one... But IVF is consensual, I think everyone would have a problem if a doctor was forcibly inseminating women.
They find funds and provide marketing, which is astonishingly expensive. I'm not in games, but I do work in a marketing adjacent function. The budgets needed even to do very small marketing exercises are really unbelievable. Campaigns exceed my yearly salary regularly, and we are not doing anything like consumer marketing which I imagine is significantly worse.
Not to justify publisbers' behaviour, but this is partially why they have such stringent demands, I suspect. I assume they are getting some kind of funding or something from the PSN connection, which funds both the game and the marketing needed to make it a success.
Yeah I think that's what's so interesting about it! It's one of the few situations where we have been able to (in a limited way) study how consciousness comes about in a mind. Perhaps leaving us with more questions than answers... Tantalising.
If you're interested I highly recommend this evidence review on the topic. I don't remember the details but there does remain some compelling evidence for both sides. It seems like the two halves are able to communicate in some ways, but not in others. It's not fully clear if this means there are two distinct consciousnesses, or if they continue to operate as one.
Wait, it's all regex?
