Theyre more likely to keep the skin economy alive by making people enjoy the game. It's not like they have no incentive.

But yea I very much agree gabe is not the problem. If every billionaire acted like gabe the world would probably be a whole lot better, even if they'd still waste a lot of ressources. Because at least he hasn't sold his basic human decency for more money, he just spends his insane amounts of money on excessive luxury. And valve actually takes risks on new products, and is content with their store shitting money instead of trying to make it shit money faster like every publically traded company.

Human races don't exist and are a concept made up by racists to justify their discrimination.

I fucking hate this "x is not a race" argument so much for that reason. Nothing is a race.

That predates christianity, judaism already had sabbath. I wonder if that was an original feature when judaism first came into existence or if the concept of a regular rest day is even older.

I think you got lucky then, windows is known to do exactly that. Well, these days it at least gives you a warning that it will do it in 15 minutes or so.

Bucatini and linguine are pretty similar tbf

Smartphones aren't the issue. You can access the internet in other ways. This feels very boomer yelling at clouds.

That said, as a recommendation, sure why not. People do seem a bit too glued to their phones overall. But I don't think that's anything new.

I also don't know anything about japanese laws, so I have no idea if this is a concern, but anything potentially enforcable that cuts into people's freedom arbitrarily makes alarm bells go off in my head.

So I didn't get nausea when I first got glasses (that I remember at least, I had some as a child for a bit for other reasons and then in my late teens got them for short-sightedness) but I have 2 pairs - one I use for computers/reading/anything close-by (which, since I don't bother changing them for my commute, is most of the time - and no I'm not in a car and I can see everything fine anyway, just distant text is hard) and one pair that fully corrects my vision that I use otherwise. When I've gone a while without using the stronger pair, I always get some nausea for a bit after putting them on, but it goes away after a few hours, and if I wear that pair for a few days, it stops happening completely. I think you'll get used to it. I also have one eye with a much stronger defict than the other, and I think that might be related since correcting that probably affects depth perception.

It's kind of the other way around, we've always had AI, it used to just basically mean a computer making some decision based on data. Like a thermostat changing the heating in response to a temperature change.

Then we got LLMs and because they are good at pretending to have complex reasoning ability, AI as a term started to always mean "computer with near human level intelligence" which of course they are absolutely not.

I have seen at least two different "BND Überwachungswagen 00x" here in germany as well. The BND is our national intelligence agency (and Überwachungswagen just means surveillance van).

Always a fan

What are you arguing against here? If you think you're defending yourself then you think you're defending yourself. If you think you're helping the people you think you're helping the people. Neither means the outcome will be good or the actions justified. All the person you're responding to did was reason about Thatcher's possible motivations.

Do you actually understand the term strawman because arguing against a strawman is exactly what you did there.

100%, furries get way too much hate. Especially considering how chill they're usually are.

Though honestly unless your pfp betrays some insane political affiliation it shouldn't have relevance on how you see someones reply. I know this is a shitpost but people do that for real. I think my favorite are the xitter boomers dismissing people because their avatar isn't a selfie and they don't using their real names.

Bad life rng, I think

For me it got progressively worse for the next 12 years then suddenly better and then suddenly even better after uni. But I'm lucky to have a job that pays well, that I don't hate, with great colleagues.
