But it’s critically necessary for functionality.
Got a question? Google it an boom there’s an AI summary for you. Now you’re engaged in scrolling past the dubious response and the sponsored links before you can get to the results you want.
It’s called ‘enhancing the user experience’. It was tedious to ignore the paid ads where you were likely to be misled for profit, but now it’s enhanced tedium where you’re likely to be misled for no fucking reason.
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.
Humidifiers.
It’s just a pool of water with a little nebulizer and a fan to blow the mist out a chimney.
Trouble is, they’re all made by the fucking plague demon Nurgle with the sole purpose of aerosolizing mold and bacteria by having the tiniest nooks and crannies than cannot be reached to be physically cleaned.
And before I get the “you gotta clean it with vinegar every week” comment, two points:
Hell yeah!
I have procreated and passed off my genes, but it’s bullshit to tell other people that’s the point of being alive.
You gotta do what you feel is right. If nothing feels worthwhile, make the best of the ride!
“Freedom” to “free market” types is the freedom to do whatever you want with no consequences regardless of the impact to others.
“Free market” means if you get duped or swindled then “you deserved it”.
“Free market” means if it really causes harm then “people just won’t buy it”.
“Free market” is way more what most people think anarchy is than what anarchists are advocating for.
Anarchy is “if I want to do cocaine and I die, that’s on me, the government shouldn’t be allowed to control what I do with my body”
Free market is “we should be allowed to add a little bit of cocaine to this baby formula so our brand beats out the competition and no one should be allowed to tell us we can’t”
You’re right in that this is not how families should be. They should be people you care about and trust.
Your family does get a pass for being family; you maybe don’t share the same interests or lifestyle that would otherwise form a distance in childhood friends that eventually fizzles out, but with families this shouldn’t be the case.
But then sometimes your family members end up (or you discover) they are bad people. Yet even then you may stand with them as they sell drugs or rob people or even have killed people; they’re still family and what they’ve done can be understandable even if wrong.
Then there are Nazis and Nazi sympathizers, apologists, and supporters.
Families should stick together, but people also shouldn’t be Nazis. So here we are.
“But what’s a hamberder cost now? Like $45?”
AI is finally becoming self aware
Sounds like that’ll buy you one logistic
We re-re-re-re-re-re-re-released Skyrim once again over the last 10 years, it just doesnt have the same traction. It’s just that these audiences are only interested in a game for 6 months max.
That’s not it at all. Literally, my children told me, “I don’t want to go up, I just want to go to the houses with bowls”. But it’s not a lazy thing, it’s a social anxiety thing. We don’t chat with strangers, we don’t make small talk with people we don’t know, we don’t ask people things we can find out without asking people things. We’re socially awkward parents and we have socially awkward children.
Millennials, the ones who would much rather text than call on the phone their dearest friends and closest relatives, are 35-40 years old. They’re the ones with halloweening children and those kids are just ask averse to face to face interactions with neighborhood residents as we are.
Meanwhile, in France:
“What’s the roundish thing we eat a lot?”
“Apples?”
“No, the one that grows underground.”
“Dirt apples?”
That’s only because capitalists are deaf to reason and demonstrable facts.
Hello sir, ozow.com is best most recognize branding. We are trust top tier bank accounts detailed are encrypted so most safe safer than banks actually!
It’s like the cost of one banana
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)
Isn’t that just “giraffe” with a regional accent?
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?
Single digits for sure. I’ll be okay from -9 to +9, but I don’t really see a solution to a 999°F heatwave
