  • online human friends still can't compete with seeing them in person ... wtf a chatbot gonna do to fix this?

    Not saying we shouldn't talk to friends online and stuff it's just that real humans are having difficulties filling these gaps.

    Also, why the fuck would I want a friend like that'll snitch me out and be used to sell me shit? I swear, he wants us hooked on these things and be like, "Subscribe now or your friends will be shut off forever!"

  • An apropos of that. I'm Chinese/Viet half-and-half and was born in the UK. I have friends in the UK that are half-Chinese and half-British (white/caucasian). I had no idea that there were so many "half-Chinese" specific groups online.

    Also, I can't remember but there was some business about having a Chinese dad was better than a Chinese mom (I could have them switched). However, it's mainly boys/men with this problem and they're having issues dating or with school and everything and blame it all on their Chinese parent. My friend tries to chime in to talk some sense into them but the self-victimization is really strong and he gets pushed out.

  • Yeah it feels like the MCU ran over everyone's dog or something. I get the arguments where people say it's not real art or that studios put out shlock because they're trying to copy the MCU. I don't know if I necessarily agree.

    However, what about the meme about just letting people enjoy things?

    Let me clear. Last MCU movie I watched was like Shang Chi and I lost interest after Loki and Wandavision (great shows). So like, I'm not a fan anymore and I ain't watching any of their movies any time soon.

  • I heard Theo talking about this and I think he guessed that they don't want to maintain these against forks is the number of people raising issues that are not related to the extension and more due to the fork.

    His video goes into a lot of good detail as to what's likely going on.

    What Theo also says is that remember that they don't make any money off of VSCode at all.

  • I always think back to this one:

    Leela: "that guy's turning this place into some sort of 'business'"

    Professor: "this isn't a business, I've always thought of it more as a source of cheap labor ... like a family"

    I don't know why I like it so much. I could see the punchline coming but how the exchange got there makes me smile every time.

  • I didn't know I had this many walking amongst me. Of the ones I've spoken with they seem to share these values:

    They seem to hate that Ontario is forcing "gays" on kids at such a young age. I'm assuming my friend meant teaching about accepting people from different backgrounds, as I don't think sex education applied to the age range he was referring.

    They think they're being taxed too highly (that's fine).

    They think US Healthcare woes are exaggerated. One said that you don't really pay that fee, it's a different fee and it's not that much. Another said: I don't go to the hospital that often.

    They think life will be better in the States with all the untaxed dollars they'll have.

    (I will reiterate that these are just the ones that I've spoken with) I'm just wondering why they don't just move there. If you hate being Canadian so much start the process of emigration ...

  • They display the product’s energy efficiency rating, on a scale from A to G, along with battery life, the number of charge cycles the battery is rated for, letter grades for durability and repairability, and any applicable IP rating for protection from dust and water.

    It looks like individual scores for the battery and repairability. The battery score seems to be just charge cycles. Repairability would probably something similar to iFixit but we'll have to see. I do like this though or at least the attempt of it.

    Alongside the labels the EU is introducing “ecodesign requirements” imposing minimum standards on the same products. Those include protection from splashes of water (and dust particles larger than 1mm for phones), scratch and drop protection, batteries that retain at least 80 percent of their capacity after 800 charging cycles, and making “critical spare parts” available within 5-10 working days.

  • Yes! That's what confuses me. I'm voting Liberal because there's no real proportional representation (yet 🤞) and we need to keep Pierre out of office.

    However, when I speak to Conservative voters and I ask them why ... they're describing the NDP platform and I'm so confused.

  • Yup. Richest guy in the world also wants to be the most popular and loved too. He could have easily continued that image by not actively damaging his "brand" for no reason with his immature outbursts. He also could have given money to those that needed it. He's never going to do it seems because those were never apart of his core values. He loves pretending that they are though.

    There was a post yesterday or so that he was extremely depressed after getting booed on stage with Dave Chappelle. That made me quite happy.
