So, there are no stupid products, only stupid customers?

Look how long it took Team Cherry to make Silksong, and look what we got for it. Maybe this is a sign that ES6 will be a masterpiece and won’t be a buggy mess propped up by a rampant modding community willing to put in the work to fix it all.

Draft-dodging, in the US?

All I could think of. Maybe they’re using statistics from 1973.

Fair enough.

No more paywall.

It doesn’t help that any time a politician changes their opinion on something, the other side jumps on them for it and accuses them of flip-flopping. In reality, changing a view when presented with a compelling argument or new information is a good thing but they use it as ammunition to attack each other, so of course everyone just sticks to their guns no matter what…

There’s obviously a huge difference there. Video game NPC AI is closer to a complex flowchart than to genAI, at least traditionally - who knows what’s coming in the near future.

I’m not sure if you were being unreasonable by drawing the comparison (or by using the false comparison to intentionally instigate) or if they were being unreasonable by equating the two and banning you, but someone was.

A lot of it comes down to what you believe happens after you die. Personally, I believe we just stop existing, that nothing comes afterwards. I believe that when I die, it’ll be like going to sleep, I just won’t dream, and won’t wake up.

Going to sleep is, generally speaking, a very peaceful and pleasant experience. When I die, nothing going on in the world will matter anymore. All of my problems and worries will just instantly go away. Nothing I think matters actually will.

Personally, I find the prospect of there being nothing after death to be immensely comforting. I don’t fear it at all.

If they didn’t use AI and instead actively choice to terminate workers with disabilities and medical problems unfairly, that seems almost worse. Like, they’re just admitting to discrimination, aren’t they?

It’s like being accused of exercising poor gun safety leading to someone’s death and saying, “I exercise perfect gun safety, I actively chose to shoot them!”

It didn’t even make sense as a political move. I’d wager most MAGA folks had never heard of USAID or knew what they did, and it was at least helping the US’ reputation on the world stage.

Obviously the real value is the good it was doing all over the world, but for the Trump admin that couldn’t care less about that, it still made no sense to axe it.

You’re fine, everyone knows what you mean; it’s spelled ‘canceled’. Other poster was just being a dick presumably because they find the term to be cringey.

Edit: I have been duly informed that ‘canceled’ is the American spelling while ‘cancelled’ is the British spelling, so you’re even more correct. :)

Mate, I could not care less about your screenshot. I’m referring to your posts in this thread, which extends to this very reply, where you’ve got a generally off-putting, condescending tone and frankly, I’m glad you’re getting downvoted for them, because that sort of behavior is just not something I’d like to see rewarded on the fediverse.

Have you considered that, perhaps, your prickly attitude and the tone of your posts is the source of the downvotes, rather than the content?

Not to mention, some companies right now are abusing interview candidates to get free work with “trial project” type assignments, or “How would you fix this problem, if you were hired?” type of free consultations. If some candidates abused the companies in return, I’d call that fair play.

The fact that they’re pushing for AI to be a utility when the fucking internet isn’t is just absurd.

If you’re gooning to the characters, you’d probably enjoy the movie, to be honest!

That’s a weird way to put that. Is that Perry’s fault? Shouldn’t you have equal sympathy for him as you have for every other addict? Or are you saying you have no sympathy for any of them?

PF2 is a good alternative to 5e if your players enjoy that style of world / same level of fantasy but want more control over their characters and the combat flow.

…so is this why Trump wanted to go inspect Fort Knox to make sure the gold was still there?

Right, that’s what the canals are useful for, what did you think they meant?
