About damn time computer scientists invented magic

I wouldn't call it bullshit, it's the media cycle trying to find interesting research for profitable articles that spun the bullshit. This is likely a secondary study on the way to scientifically measuring consciousness. "Publish or perish" type shit.

Try not to laugh at the name of the 7th planet challenge (impossible)

There are little sidewalk sweepers about the size of golf carts that get used by colleges, it would work perfectly for a bidirectional bike lane.

Consider pixelfed, the fediverse alternative to Instagram

It's only guaranteed to work with pixels. It still works with other phones, but with varying degrees of success and obviously no official support.

Cool, now the state of Minnesota can sue him for the use of AI election disinformation starting next month

This one starts back in high school:

Have plans to enter West Point, build a military career, retire from the military at 50 and do civilian work for fun to pass the time. Get shot in the eye with a bb gun at 14, which ends all military aspirations. Pick the second choice college because they accepted me first with a scholarship. Go to college for physics, but listen to the guidance counselor about the 7 week intro web programming course. Drop out of physics and change major to computer science at the last possible second in the first semester of the first year. Continue to take various history courses throughout college that don't count to a history degree. Graduate and move back in with mom for the summer. Apply to relevant jobs for over a year without success, pick up some work in grocery stores in the meantime. Quit the hometown grocery store at the end of the summer after publicly confronting the store owner about threatening to illegally deduct from my paycheck. Move in with college roommate and friend in the big city while still applying for relevant work and working at Aldi. Work with a communist store manager and have political discussions with him during the George Floyd protests and COVID. Get hired into QA for a big video game company. Walk out with the others when a major sexual harassment lawsuit is filed against the company. Walk out again when the CEO is discovered to be complicit and enabling the harassers. Walk out and go on strike when workers get laid off. Start organizing a union. Win my union.

I feel like I should have pursued my first choice college more, because it was a big 10 public college while the second choice was a private liberal arts college (take a guess which one was cheaper). By far the most rewarding thing in my career has been my part in winning the fight to organize my union. I didn't realize it then, but now it seems clear that my interests and actions throughout my life have led me to a career as an activist.

Well Gompers would be all in on the anti-china thing going on right now, he's part of why the AFL supported the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Mother Jones would probably die a second time from a heart attack when she finds out that republicans are rolling back child labor protections.

IWW members would probably be organizing service, retail, and contract workers.

The men from Blair mountain and Harlan county probably wouldn't lay their arms down this time.

Maximum inconvenience factor, because cats know that we're not allowed to move them during naps

It's a great balance between new and hot! You mostly see posts that picked up some interest within the first couple minutes of being posted

Kinda, it was only added a couple months ago

I'm pretty much always set to all, with hot being good for me most of the time. New and scaled are also nice ways to get some extra variety on slow days. I'll rarely use active and top if I've been away for a while

I don't think that's part of why they do it. I'm an avid civ 6 fan, and I can say that the launcher is pretty unobstructive. Between launching from steam and launching from the 2k launcher, it takes about a minute. It's likely to collect data, but honestly the only useful data they'd get is the pc hardware, the length of play, and common mods. 2k probably saw that they weren't getting sellable data and decided to scrap the idea, honestly it's probably the only decent thing the company has done in years.

Take every cat you see home. As for those scenarios:

1. Your neighbor is trying to trick you so they can have the cat for themselves, don't fall for it. Take the cat home.
2. Those weirdos that attached themselves to the cat clearly don't understand what's happening, take the cat home

Good. Profit and privacy are mutually exclusive in this industry.

Dr. West has been a lifelong political activist, as well as being a published academic. He's not running to make money.

Works pretty well I think, since there's a good chance that trump would kick the bucket during a potential second term

Generally when people say "fuck
