  • That was right around the time for me as well, that and the ugandan knuckles thing.

  • Damn, that's crazy that you have the time to so seriously inconvenience yourself so you can feel good about this.

  • Let me guess, you live in a city and forget that not everyone lives in a city?

  • Well the models we have now are already useful for things, so it's unlikely it'll just disappear now.

    We didn't have the computer technology to make it happen back then, they just didn't know it at the time.

  • Those people were always misinformed.

    At some point in the future AI will replace most programmers, because AI will allow senior devs to automate large portions of their codebase. Human devs will act more like QA, fixing the small errors during the automation process.

    Either way it's a tool to by used by you to multiply your efforts, not one to replace you.

  • Bold of you to assume they believe the end isn't still right around the corner.

    Most of the stereotypical religious nutjobs I know just use climate change as an example of the end times.

  • I found the history of the early Church to be solidly supporting of the Orthodox view.

    Not to be a dick, but that's because they did their absolute best to kill heretics and dismantle their belief systems by destroying their literature.

    The early church had a lot of ideas about Jesus and his purpose, but the gnostics and other groups were all suppressed by the Orthodox Church and we only know about their beliefs through the lens of their interlocutors.

    History is written by the victors, if the Orthodox Church is responsible for early church history they're going to give you their version of it.

  • Uses is a strong word for anyone over 65 and computers.

  • That's because Hamas are animals. They're radical fundamentalist Muslims that want everyone thats not willing to convert to their religion dead. They specifically want all Jews dead regardless. It's not conjecture, it's their mission statement.

    If you don't believe me, just go over there and tell them You're LGBTQ and identify as female, you'll see how animalistic they truly are.

    I lived under Sharia law for almost two years and saw the dangers of letting religion rule your law/culture. The Israelis and their surrounding Arab neighbors are going to keep killing each other until the heat death of the universe.

  • You assume I support Israel just because I don't believe Hamas? Lol

    That's the problem with you reactionary types, you can't even conceive of someone that hates both groups.

  • I literally debated someone yesterday over whether or not it's the consumers willingness to buy that created the demand for a product.

    Dude straight up tried to argue that it's the company's fault for making a product, as if they wouldn't do it specifically because they're going to make money on it.

    This website is full of kids who can't grasp basic economic principles. If everyone stopped buying, all these businesses would go under. They don't care about the social media bitching, the only way to get the message across is the only thing they care about.

    Stop giving them your money.

  • The short term benefits are the reason they're doing this in the first place.

    Immediate revenue and growth is the goal, long term business viability and consumer base is an acceptable sacrifice to meet that goal.

    Who cares if the company went under five months after I left! When I was the CEO we had record profits

  • Why do you take the word of genocidal religious terrorists at face value? You just assume they're telling the truth? Strange, especially considering they'd kill you without a second thought just on your username alone.

    You might as well go support fundamentalist Christian Republicans and take their word without evidence.

  • Words explain ideas, improper definitions lead to miscommunications. Words matter and changing definitions has always been a sign of an attempt to smuggle ideas in.

    "Genocide" used to mean a concerted attempt to actively exterminate a group of people based on their race. Now it just means "anything that disrupts local culture." It's like watering down the word "murder" to mean "physical assault." It's not that assaulting people is ok, it's that it's not murder.

    "Words don't matter" is some of the most smooth brain bullshit I've ever seen, as if our entire conceptualization of ideas isn't rooted in what words we use to define them.

  • When did they say they judge them at face value? You know it's possible for people to be skeptical after talking with them for a few minutes and assessing them based on who they are?

    If you're well-attuned to social interaction you can sniff out con men within minutes, they give off the same weird vibes that religious nutter butters do when trying to convert you, or MLM/Pyramid scammers when trying to recruit you.

  • I do love me some oolong tea.

  • Mass Effect. Played the first one and couldn't get off Eden Prime cause of the shitty starting rifle and the OG game's idea of weapon stability.

    Played Mass Effect 2 years later and beat it in a week, just absolutely loved the whole thing. Went back and played the first one after that to get the whole story. Then waited for ME3 to come out.

    I still hate the way weapons work in the original ME1 but I pushed through, not surprised it turned people off of the game though.

  • Don't forget the six months of complaining and loss of service desk productivity because people still can't figure out how to import their bookmarks.
