Dude, the last episodes of AoT haven't even aired yet, how current do you want?

Cloud gaming is the future. For $20/month and 35ms lag, I render my games on an RTX 4080 rig and stream it to my living room tv

Now you're talking about doing a save state comparison to avoid one line of dialogue. Have fun with the preceding lag spike, I guess.

Fucking death stranding

You're ignoring that congress does, in fact, ordain supreme court justices

Dr. Stone, Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen -- you don't have to look very hard to find anime that doesn't look anything like western fantasy

95% of everything has always been crap. We live in a golden age where we have enough non crap at our disposal that we never have to watch anything awful if we don't want. You will, however, have to look for it -- it's scattered among a dozen services and you'll need to engage with reviews and social media to find what you're looking for, most likely.

There's also a filter of time thing going on, where we forget the shitty media of the past. 1992 gave us Reservoir Dogs, A Few Good Men and My Cousin Vinny. It also gave us Pet Seminary 2, BeBe's Kids and Love Potion Number 9. So was it a good year or a bad year?

So, the author mentioned a couple of delightfully strange recent games. The thesis of the article is way too broad and unsupportable. If you're sick of mainstream settings, then stop playing AAA games.

Remember: everything is projection

And no SO means worse LLMs. Chatgpt relies on scrapes of SO, reddit, forums and GitHub discussion pages.

International shipping: just one of the freedoms protected by the modern us armed forces

Average people who don't care about the environment did not get that way in accident but because of a concerted disinformation campaign that has lasted decades. You can't change the culture without going after the perpetrators of that disinformation

This tastes the same as right wing efforts to convince people making $50k a year that their enemies are those making $100k a year when, in fact, the enemy of both those groups is billionaires.

If you're a climate activist, your enemies aren't those with a carbon footprint 2x or 5x what yours is. The enemy is those with 10000x the carbon footprint

To be fair, I don't think deBoer is really a leftist, but someone who claims to be leftist to seem authoritative when he shits on leftists, ala David Brooks. He's a high school teacher with a handful of bad articles and a book that argues people are born dumb or smart and can't be changed.

I agree. This is a David Brooks level of stupid, focusing on aesthetics rather than substance. A

OC is a politician with 4 years of experience from a state with 26 representatives, some of whom have been in the house for 25 years. That she has had to compromise and work within a system is not a great shock -- power is not something she has an abundance of!

Nobody could accomplish what the author seems to want; that doesn't mean AOC has accomplished nothing.

No, this is false. That way lies fascism. Anyone with expertise, academics included, has a responsibility to call out elected officials who are acting badly or advocating bad policies.

Elected officials have a responsibility to the people, one of which is to not punish private citizens for speaking their mind.

I mean holy fuck. Abuse of power doesn't get much more obvious then this.

If you read the guardian article, students barely remembered the lt gov being mentioned, and it was in the context of medicine, which the lt gov has made a habit of inserting himself into.

Also: A professor criticizing an elected official wrt their specialty is how the system is supposed to work. Experts ought to call out bullshit when they see it. An elected official using their office to silence that critique is gross at best and unworthy of our democratic ideals

The Guardian has a more in depth article and mentions that Texas A&M has recently been under fire for bowing to political pressure

The chancellor was texting about her to the lt gov's chief of staff, as per the article. That's fairly damming -- there's no legitimate reason for the lt gov to get involved with a university professor.

What other countries? The only global power that is a near peer of the US with respect to military power is China.

There are geopolitical reasons that the US is in the position it is, and while a distributed system might be nice, unless the underlying geopolitical realities change, the US is stuck at the top
