Bear seeing a lone person in the woods:

One is temporary, the other is perpetuated for eternity through atrocities.

I... I would love to see this as a compromise and start of mutual understanding, but the 6 month delay before the matter is even put through vote -if the case is even deemed "valid"- is nothing but lip service all the while the students protesting a pretty fucking obvious genocide are tagged and their most basic demanding action for consideration is criminalized, whatever the disciplinary action be.

To be in the very least open to compromise, the university would pardon the unapproved encampment considering it an urgent act in the face of mass human life loss. The consideration to even prosecute someone for demanding a reasonable hearing, which you accept, is blatant ill-will.

Besides, in these 6 months Israel would already be profiting a hell lot over new occupied land, sunning and tanning over dead bodies of thousands of children. This shit is even worse than the U.S. military setting up a damn prefabricated floating dock in 2 months.

Just a stick with carrot aroma, instead of the regular stick.

Even saying all that, hoping all the experience proves wrong this time and this sets off meaningful actions sooner or later.

7h past or not, you can still edit the post to better convey the frustration part.

Whatever happens, happens.

Whistles away

What do you get if you multiply six by nine?

I really would love to feel proud about this as a Turkish citizen, or feel good about this as a person in this world witnessing this current instance of the continuous oppression and genocide, but I really have more doubts than these feelings when it involves Erdoğan and caring about human lives/rights or sincerity.

The move expands last month’s restriction on some Turkish exports to Israel, as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan steps up criticism of the Jewish state and tries to consolidate support among conservative voters at home.

The last part is the most likely part, because he is doing jack shit to alleviate the already abysmal living standards by meaningful approaches like utilizing taxes and national resources for people's prosperity instead of filling his unborn grandkids's pockets further down a millennium. Anything other than addressing this issue is just a smokescreen to goad disgruntled and hungry right-wing nationalists into voting for him again, especially after his party AKP's crushing defeat in local governments and municipalities.

Besides, I'm sure he is lining up for another bribe into his pocket as he most likely did with his stance on the NATO accession of Sweden, which he similarly shouted and cried about cutting off monetary activities of PKK there for about a few months before timidly accepting a international-politics-wise verbal "okay we accept", which was promptly called back after the accession was accepted.

Another likely and probably concurrently-running possibility is that he is sucking up to his Qatari sugardaddies, who as everyone knows house some of the high ranking Hamas leaders. Erdoğan has been forming very very close ties with Qatar in recent years, from mutual military personnel training programmes to selling ports, mountain assets, energy tenders, etc. at dirt cheap prices and long leases, to begging money when the Turkish economy he singlehandedly ruined heads to another steep dive into abyss every few months.

So yeah, it will definitely hurt Israel both in economy and reputation at some level, but don't expect anything with sincere concerns as the reason behind Erdoğan's actions.

Nah, that is a given at this point. They are looking for making a recent excuse for something shitty they will do or be exposed about soon.

Yeah I don't understand these pushes for "switch to another engine" without defending monopolization in game engine industry. I don't understand it even more do these years, when we are not praising or criticizing the graphics much and just want more intricately-written RPG games. Hell, even Bethesda must have broken their own expectations with how few bugs there have been in Starfield, which they are infamous for.

Even with the underlying mechanics, Unreal, for example, doesn't produce many games with any other feeling than the base, rather rigid processing that is fortunately not much janky, for now.

Hunt: Showdown is also another good option. It is not the same timeline, it is set in 1890's Florida swamps, but as a Battle Royale without region limitations or anything forcing combat, it is a great game to stalk your prey or go for close quarters combat. Ballistics and medical system is rather simpler yet still very effective in how encounters go down, and also no inventory hassle.

Slower fire rate, no extraction point campers, all kinds of weirdos doing all kinds of shit that makes no sense but make every round somewhat unique and memorable. 500 hours in with 2 buddies in a year and the game still feels fresh without shoving new weapons down every month.

Also no progression hassle. 99% of the weapons can be utilized on every round, just gotta consider how you play with them and how to play against other hunters' weapons.

It is not something that can scratch the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. itch, though.

Oh no, forming your ideas into comprehensible essay format with intersentence connectivity and flow, maybe even splitting into paragraphs, isn't even close to LLM speech.

I do form long, connected, split texts and comments, too, but there is a great difference between mine and an LLMs tone, cadence, mood or whatever you wanna call these things.

For example, humans usually cut corners when forming sentences and paragraphs, even if when forming long ones. We do this via lazy grammar use, unrestricted thesaurus selection, uneven sentence or paragraph lengths, lots of phrase abbreviations e.g. "tbh", lax use of punctuations e.g. "(ChatGPT?)", which also is a substitution for a whole question sentence.

Also, the bland, upbeat and respecting tone the bots mimic from long-thought essays is never kept up in spontaneous writing/typing. Dead giveaway of a script-speech than genuine, on-point and assuming human interaction.

Us LLMs can't do these with rather simple reverse-jenga syntax and semantics forming, with simple formal pragmatics sprinkled, yet. The wild west, very expansive, extended pragmatics of a language is where the real shit is at.

Excellent comeback. Not my comment, nor about what I continue the thread with, though.

Yes, I do those things. There is also an option to comment, with opinions allowed, including both supporting and opposing types. I do this, too.

It is an obnoxiously brain-dead, bland and overused joke, though. So much so that it can easily be understood as a staple of some stereotypes.

And weapons form the US and cheers from Germany to do it.

What in the goddamn? Never buying any HDMI-only device, fuck HDMI.

Would it be understandable to compare Gimp and Krita to Photoshop and Illustrator? If so, which is closer to which?

Probably 2/3 of the remaining, presumed Hamas terrorists 1/3 are radicalized or hungry people that do day to day chores of Hamas after seeing many loved ones die to Israel and being deliberately starved by the blockades, rather than being religious, fanatic, or other forms of ideological Hamas members. People with nothing left seeking purpose in revenge, a rise against the oppression they have been suffering for decades, trying to work out some sort of relief or aid organization in civil governmental structures, getting by thanks to being in Hamas instead of out in the streets all alone.

I wouldn't estimate Israel taking out more than a couple thousand core Hamas members that propagate their debatable idealogy, backed by the "collateral" standards IDF have shown throughout the last few flashpoints.

Believe it or not, straight to jail gay.

We are. Tell that to these Israeli fuckers. The most moral army in the world probably has more objections to that than killing children all around for fun, tho.
