I don't think it counts, but it sounds fascinating. Does everyone get along? Is it a tiring experience, or is it just a natural process?

I thought they were brilliant. Had a blast with all of them. Darth Jarjar as my favorite character.

Octopodes nuts 😎

Please downvote me.

I hate the idea of more game stores because exclusives piss me off, and that's the only viable tactic another store could use to get people to leave steam. When Netflix was all there was, it was great. We saw in real time how that shitshow ended. I had to bring out my old ship and chart new waters. I do not want to do this with my game library.

I have my phone set to DND at all times, and I can confirm that you can allow certain notifications to come through. Only important notifications and calls from contacts come in. My peace of mind improved quite a bit with this change.

Astrology is just a compendium of story tropes than can help people find advice for themselves in a fun and engaging way. That's how I see it, and that's how I use it. Truth and reality aren't as easy to define and you might think they are.

I like to point out that one of the first lessons the Bible teaches the reader is one of hierarchy and inherent supremacy over others. Eve is lesser to Adam, as all women should be to all men. Man is the dominator of the land, bending nature to his whims. All men are to worship a supreme being because he's bigger, stronger, more powerful, and these are respected traits held by any authority. It's baked into the values that some of us should be supreme to others, and the inherent violence of this philosophy can be used to justify wars and genocide, as has happened time and again.

Christianity is only good if you use confirmation bias to pick out the parts you like, but the whole text creates drones and fascists by design. I believe in God, but I would never in my life subscribe to Christian beliefs (not even getting into the open hostility the church has held against my particular section of belief throughout history that persists to this day).

It's culture war bullshit. I assure you, a statistically significant portion of the right believes wholeheartedly that this is a good thing. It's exactly what they voted for.

I ran into this when trying to convince people to get away from Facebook. Minor inconveniences aren't worth enduring in the face of gross violations of data privacy. For some reason.

Greed is a tragically reliable behavior to anticipate from a Corp.

What's stopping McDonald's from just saying that they need to increase prices by significantly more than that to accommodate the increased wages? Y'know, with lies? It happened with groceries, so I can imagine them seeing this as a good excuse to try to squeeze some more profit out.

What did he mean by this

Oof. Kinda awkward, but...

*too

I'm late to learning to drive, and I fear I could do this without realizing I've done it. But after this, I can tell you I wouldn't do it again.

They may well lead to the thing that leads to the thing that leads to the thing that leads to AGI though. Where there's a will

I just tried chatgpt with all of these failure points--a 5-letter word that fits alphabetically between amber and amble (ambit), a sentence that ends in the letter R (it ended with "door"), and a poem that rhymes (aabbccbb). These things appear to be getting ironed out quite quickly. I don't think it's much longer before we'll have to make some serious concessions.

Democrats are criticized by democrats all the time. Republicans actively censor all criticism they have control over.

I think that retort is just there to point out that other social media platforms definitely will not be banned at any point, calling to question the legitimacy of the claim that the ban is because of invasive spy practices. Hypocrisy is loud.

Cishet is the term you're thinking of for that.

For the curious, I got two responses with different calculations and different answers as a result. So it could take anywhere from 1.5 to 7.5 billion butts to swarm mount everest. Again, I'm not checking the math because I got the answer I wanted.
