They're really hoping this to be the final solution.

Yes, post pics of shoe on head.

I prefer 20, but sometimes I'll read on my phone in bed as 10, then accidentally fall asleep.

This one here, right?

Endorsement of or justifications for Hamas or Hezbollah, or slogans or graphics positively referring to these organizations. These are considered terrorist organizations in Germany.

I don't think expressing understanding is either endorsement or justification. So as written, it should be fine, but since it comes down to the mods interpretation, who knows what the outcome would actually be.

Every tenth episode you have to watch Letterkenny.

But honestly, it says in the article:

Earlier Friday, Canadian media company Corus urged the CRTC to require traditional broadcasters and online players to pay the same amount into the Canadian content system. The broadcaster, which owns Global TV, said both should contribute 20 per cent of their revenue toward Canadian content.

Currently, large English-language broadcasters must contribute 30 per cent of revenues to Canadian programming, and the CRTC last year ordered streaming services to pay five per cent of their annual Canadian revenues to a fund devoted to producing Canadian content.

The foreign streaming services are fighting that rule in court and Netflix, Paramount and Apple pulled out of the CRTC hearing earlier this week.

This honestly doesn't make much sense. The implication would be that all citizens are culpable for their government's actions once they start paying taxes.

Funding your government isn't a voluntary act, so your last parenthetical already invalidates most of what you said.

Lol!

Nonono... just do us a favour and don't film it. I've been scarred enough for a lifetime.

Hairbrush. It'd fit fine, but it's got rubberized paint that's coming off the handle. :/

Yeah, that's pretty pedantic. xD

Text emoji is kaomoji, which is the Eastern branch of emoticons, so you're right, technically it wouldn't generally include o7, but that's kinda splitting hairs.

You're also right, o7 has more broad uses than F, but they do both get used in a usually tongue-in-cheek "condolences" manner. So you can almost always use o7 in the place of F, but not necessarily the other way around.

Cool. You go first, asshole. >:(

(Not you, OP, you're cool.)

"o7" is a saluting text emoji. The 'o' represents a head, and the '7' is a raised arm. It's usually used in internet culture when a fictional character dies, or when one dies in a video game.

Similarly, there's the "Press F to pay respects" meme, which appeared as a quick time event in a video game cut scene (Call of Duty, I think?), and was adopted into sarcastic use by the internet, so "F" and "o7" are kinda used interchangeably.

And the video isn't even THAT scary. When I first saw this video with a headline about a robot going "berserk", I expected something closer to terminator like behaviour instead of erratic hand waving. It was clearly just a software bug with no "intent" behind it (apologies for the anthropomorphism).

You're right, of course, it's not impossible, but as someone who's had several significant changes in BMI/body fat in my life, I can tell you exercising when you're already in decent shape is SO much easier.

Being fat makes a lot of potential options for exercise much more difficult if not outright impossible. One of the biggest ways to stay active is to find something you actually like doing, so the fewer options you have, the harder it is.

doesn not

🤨

Just to be clear, they were fully transparent about it:

“Hello, just to be clear for everyone seeing this, I am a version of Chris Pelkey recreated through AI that uses my picture and my voice profile,” the stilted avatar says. “I was able to be digitally regenerated to share with you today. Here is insight into who I actually was in real life.”

However, I think the following is somewhat misleading:

The video goes back to the AI avatar. “I would like to make my own impact statement,” the avatar says.

I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. It seems that the motivation was genuine compassion from the victim's family, and a desire to honestly represent victim to the best of their ability. But ultimately, it's still the victim's sister's impact statement, not his.

Here's what the judge had to say:

“I loved that AI, and thank you for that. As angry as you are, and as justifiably angry as the family is, I heard the forgiveness, and I know Mr. Horcasitas could appreciate it, but so did I,” Lang said immediately before sentencing Horcasitas. “I love the beauty in what Christopher, and I call him Christopher—I always call people by their last names, it’s a formality of the court—but I feel like calling him Christopher as we’ve gotten to know him today. I feel that that was genuine, because obviously the forgiveness of Mr. Horcasitas reflects the character I heard about today. But it also says something about the family, because you told me how angry you were, and you demanded the maximum sentence. And even though that’s what you wanted, you allowed Chris to speak from his heart as you saw it. I didn’t hear him asking for the maximum sentence.”

I am concerned that it could set a precedent for misuse, though. The whole thing seems like very grey to me. I'd suggest everyone read the whole article before passing judgement.

That's last year's term. We're now calling them unintended inter-vehicular contact events.

🤦‍♀️ hey it works!

I'm playing V Rising for the first time, and doing it solo on brutal mode. I have to say it's been very challenging, but also quite rewarding, and a ton of fun.

The way they do brutal mode is very cool. It's not just number-based challenge scaling, but the bosses get a bunch of new mechanics as well.

Huh, did Sundar not pay his protection money this month, or something?

Good news regardless, though.
