Even if you perfectly solve crashes (doubtful, definitely not something that exists right now), the problems of microplastic pollution from tires and emissions from electricity generation are non-trivial.

Really, nothing to do with the massive emissions testing fraud and associated legal costs?

I can’t think of any audience that would be worse to interact with for Only Fans type content than redditors.

Also since it’s Catalina, no offense but where are you going in a car? Everything in Avalon is basically right there. Aren’t all the vehicles on the island supposed to be under a certain size (and presumably have pretty good fuel efficiency) too? I haven’t been to Two Harbors so I can’t speak on the need for a car there.

What are you expecting from other people when you post that a teenager deserved to be murdered? Are you trying to get people to yell at you and call you an incel for some reason? After that, then what? It’s not going to change whatever is making you feel like thinking and saying this kind of thing is a good idea.

Talk to a therapist, you are trapping yourself in a cycle of fear and hate.

I’m a 5’ 5” dude and never think about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, Rimworld was in early access for 5 years and was worth the price the entire time IMO. Project Zomboid has been in early access for over a decade! If you just blanket ignore early access games you’re cutting yourself off from some excellent games.

Come off it, not being allowed to be on your cell phone during school hours isn’t the same as KOSA.

The APA document you linked even specifically discusses the effects of social media (what do you think they’re using their phones for?) on mental health.

The area and time I grew up in had zero non-English classes until high school! Literally just skipping the most beneficial periods of language learning. It was only required that we take 1 year of a foreign language to graduate, and that’s not really enough time to be proficient (or it wasn’t the way we were taught, anyway).

I’ve been casually learning Spanish for the past few years, and doing it on your own as an adult without paying for courses is hard, especially if your native language is in a different language family. I can definitely understand why people who emerge from the school system monolingual just stay that way.

Software design really needs to take a leaf out of game design’s book and let you change key binds. I suspect the only reason they don’t is because it would make troubleshooting more complicated.

Heads up, you replied to the wrong thread (I assume)

Jayzus, imagine the square footage of coca plants it would take to get that yield.

Advertising custom stickers on sale for one price, then when you place your order oopsie, we have to charge you more for editing! Stuff like that. This is mostly word of mouth from artists, when you pull that kind of stuff regularly it gets around.

Sticker Mule’s CEO is a Trump donor and generally known for deceptive marketing tactics, doesn’t shock me that the company is trying to drive traffic to Twitter.

Concept artist Sam Santala pointed out that you can’t raise a support request to discuss the terms without first agreeing to them. You can’t even uninstall the apps!

Well, at least they made this as easy as possible to challenge in court.

But given the way AI bros behave I suspect this is a smash and grab. The penalties don’t matter if they get to keep the goods in the form of generative AI training.

The biggest problem with AI alt text is that it lacks the ability to determine and add in context, which is particularly important in social media image descriptions. But people adding useless alt text isn’t exactly a new thing either. If people treat this as a starting place for adding an alt text description and not a “click it and I don’t have to think about it” solution I’m massively in support of it.

I don’t buy coffee much, but I also have a pretty sensitive sense of smell so I know what you mean when you say it ruins the coffee. Can you bring your own travel mug and pour the coffee into it? Since the barista isn’t touching the coffee itself the smell should go away entirely if you get rid of the cup.

Europol, are you for real? You’re using Matrix-esque backgrounds on official photo releases for this? 😭

Always!

How I sleep knowing the Pope is unhappy about the ‘air of frociaggine’ in the Church: 😊💤
