Free speech in no way makes a conversation intelligent or sane.

Free speech is necessary to prevent the government from censoring dissent.

The consequence is that there’s little to no legal repercussions to spreading lies and hate. But that doesn’t mean there can’t be repercussions.

Not sure why there are down votes here. It’s an important fact to remember that inflation “falling” doesn’t mean the cost of living is going down.

Whether reversing inflation is good or not isn’t their point. The point is, living is still more expensive than last year and your wage hasn’t been keeping up since the 70s.

That’s only because capitalists are deaf to reason and demonstrable facts.

Maybe I don’t know enough about computer graphics, but in what world would you have/want to display a group of 33 pixels (one computed, 32 inferred)?!

Are we inferring 5 to the left and right and the row above and below in weird 3 x 11 strips?

I’m just surprised there isn’t a shadow industry of selling blood products fed on people altruistically donating for free (like, as far as I can tell, every country with public healthcare does) with corrupt pseudo-legal marketing ensuring that blood products are not sold for profit (because they sell the bag, not the blood, or they sell the service of delivering blood, or some bullshit like that)

Maybe don’t charge $145 for a digital product. Maybe charge $50, and sell it to 5x the people. It quite literally costs nothing (okay, pedantically, the tiniest fraction) to sell more units.

I’d play an okay Star Wars game for $50 day 1. Wouldn’t you?

And then when it goes on sale, loads of people would pay $20 on a 60% sale price next year. Whose paying $60 at a 60% off sale for a year old okay Star Wars game? No one. Not one soul.

Oh, you can get it cheaper for subscribing to Ubisoft+. Fuck off with that bullshit, do you even hear yourself?

We could check his tax returns to findohwaitaminute!

My question is how is it not trivial to add a noise wave or some shit to the bot path? Obviously, I have zero technical knowledge of how bots, pathing, or anti-bot analysis works

At first glance, that headline makes it sound disjointed and awful. But that’s a decent summation of a lot of my favourite parts of KCD 1.

Exactly. I would have assumed JD Vance had a totally white family and was just a garden variety racist. But now I’ve learned he’s a racist and a hypocrite

I’d like to apologize for my remarks regarding banana

A) that seems backwards: an under ripe banana will be stiff inside so you can snap the peel around the stem when you bend it, while a riper, softer banana will mush inside when you bend the stem. And,

B) like I give a fuck what a banana wants

Cake does not encapsulate and is therefore toast.

Take a bag, fill it with water, and grip it loosely at the top so all your fingers wrap around like a loose fist.

Now, without turning the bag, use your other hand to empty it by squeezing out the water.

You get most of it out, but there’s still some in there, even if you squeeze violently and it seems like nothing else can come out.

Also, for most of human history, if you’ve poisoned yourself ingesting something, chances are the next thing you’re ingesting is still poisoned. It’s only recently we’ve worked out distilled poison and purified water. So, biologically speaking, better to just be sick for a day so you can get to a different water/food source.

Diplomacy. They can improve diplomacy. Will they? Absolutely not. But they could.

Jokes on you, commie! Space is part of the US of A. You put a flag up there, it’s yours. Thems the rules.

I pause videos to read what’s on screen.

The add on I need is to automatically send the advertiser a message telling them I’m boycotting their product due to their participation in increasingly shitty advertising.

I still fucking love Star Wars. I’m super excited for this game.

I will never pay $110 for a god damn video game. And neither should any Star Wars fan.

Oh no! Actors being paid the minimum legal amount?!

Think of how much it will cost to produce now that they have to pay the least they can possibly be allowed to pay someone!

I wouldn’t be shocked by how poorly Blizzard treated its employees unless they literally had someone pacing through the office whipping employees whose retinal activity slowed below minimal compliance.
