Globally, we haven't even started reducing our emissions at all yet. Our line is still going up

I'm definitely biased here since I spent years kayaking and have only gone paddleboarding twice, and I also definitely don't want to just be all "lol skill issue", but I think this might be an issue with your (kayak) paddling technique. You should be using your whole torso rather than your arms and shoulders

Mate you ever rowed a boat? That shit is hard work, it goes below the bike for sure

Of course, the pedalo manages to combine the worst of both worlds and seems to exist solely as a way to work your quads out without looking like you're doing a gym session

This feels like it comes from the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows. It'd fit well

A professor asked if I prefer “Miss” or “Mister” (because nb) and I accidentally said “ya boi” without thinking so now I have a professor that calls me “ya boi Rogers” every time I see him.

There's a reason I said "they should be made to be more ethical" and not just "they should be more ethical". I know that they aren't going to do it themselves and I'll support well-written regulations on them.

but it doesn’t matter for this discussion.

Isn't it what almost your entire comment was about?

I mean, I agree that the developers of these AI tools need to be made to be more ethical in how they use stuff for training, but it is worth noting that that's kind of also how humans learn. Every human artist learns, in part, by absorbing the wealth of prior art that they experience. Copying existing pieces is even a common way to practice.

This Steam user has done an admirable job of compiling the eight confirmed and three possible prior leaks

You misunderstand. Assuming you're buying 200 of product A or 750 of product A, you should expect the same proportion to be defective. Nobody's suggesting two entirely separate products should have the same failure rate, but the question is also not about comparing two entirely separate products

Yes, it can, but my point was that it used to only mean multiple people and we don't have any trouble using it to refer to just one

It's the country codes for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (Deutschland for the D, Confederation Helvetica for the CH). Those are the three countries with a majority of their people speaking German other than Liechtenstein, which is extremely small

Singular they goes back at least as far as Shakespeare. Also, "you" was originally a plural pronoun.
