My friends are addicted to League of Legends. I often ask them how they can put up with such a toxic culture and they said they like being toxic themselves. Just reminded me of Monty Python's "I'd like to have an argument, please".
YouTube, for now, doesn't show any ads. Twitch bombards you with them. I can't stand it so I don't watch stuff on Twitch.
For years my dad has unknowingly been doing an Uncle Roger impression every time he orders Chinese food.
Yes! My parents make more than average and I never realized it until I started hanging out with friends as a teenager. I once had a friend who would always come over to play games on my PlayStation/Xbox/Gamecube. I asked him why he didn't ask his parents for a console and some games since he loved playing mine so much. He just responded "dude...my parents can't afford it."
I didn't get it. How could two people working full time not be able to afford a few hundred dollars? His parents were nice enough to tell me their hourly wages. I then asked my parents for theirs. That's when I realized the difference. My parents made 3 times what his parents made. When I mentioned this to my parents, they told me it was his parents' fault for choosing bad jobs. They should have chose to make more money! Obviously! That's when I learned my parents were rich jerks.
They disabled downvotes because they want to encourage people to post porn of themselves not just to repost stuff. Getting downvoted for posting your own work isn't encouraging and essentially kills communities before they even start.
To save you and others a click. It's describing anyone who acts like the sealion in this comic
Because AI needs a lot of training data to reliably generate something appropriate. It's easier to get millions of reddit posts than millions of research papers.
Even then, LLMs simply generate text but have no idea what the text means. It just knows those words have a high probability of matching the expected response. It doesn't check that what was generated is factual.
They believe every american at birth is given a secret bank account tied to their social security number worth millions of dollars and this is how you "authorize" someone to draw funds from that account. It gets even better when you ask why would the government create secret bank accounts for people: it's because the government sells babies to cover its debts since they ran out of gold.
Comedian Bill Engvall once suggested stupid people wear signs so you'd know not to get into a conversation with them. Here's your sign!
"And being financially irresponsible". He took the £1 million he made and blew it on luxurious items and now it's all gone. He could have won the lottery and it'd be the same story.
Unfortunately, my friends play it and I'm often roped into playing it with them. My advice: The game is greatly improved if you disable all forms of interaction with other players. Chat is muted by default now, but I'd also recommend muting pings and emotes. No form of interaction is ever positive in that game.
Even then, their matchmaking algorithm seems to be designed to hand an easy win to one team and just switches up which side you're on enough times that you won't quit.
