Oh my god, it did it all by itself!! Are we ready for the future of autonomous killer boulders??

I’m not sure who told you posting things online is how you prove copyright, but it’s not.

Who cares if gibberish text is copyrighted? Putting your work in a funky text doesn’t make what you wrote no longer copyrighted.

Yup, just read an article about that the other day. They even acknowledged it was going to keep happening to the person whose vehicle was mistakenly flagged because of a partial ID match, and just advised him to keep the car at home until they figured out how to fix it. In his case it wasn’t as big a deal since it was a rental, but can you imagine being told to not drive your own fucking car or the cops will be automatically called to come pull you over as a carjacker??

I’m pretty sure I could do better stoned. I mean, I’m typing with a much higher accuracy than 71%, and I’m stoned right now.

Well, good thing we’ve only poured a trillion and a half dollars into it and wrecked the economy.

The cost in preventable deaths, had we been continuing protein research instead of pouring the world’s resources into a fancy autocorrect, is incalculable.

Huh, good question. I’m not even sure I know, as a general rule I don’t eat out anywhere outrageously expensive, and I’m virtually certain I’ve never spent more than $100 in one go. Honestly I’m loathe to spend more than $20 on a single meal, which is why I haven’t eaten out anywhere other than a few local affordable places in at least 3 or 4 years.

So probably a Japanese dinner in NYC that was kinda overpriced.

Thanks, I missed that as I was skimming. Jeeze, really burying the lede there that a company already fucking up the neighborhood wants to get bigger.

Are they expanding? Because the article is about noise.

and the company has offered to buy up homes from unhappy residents

“I’m gonna pay you $20 to fuck off.”

Can’t eminent domain for a data center that’s already built.

You’re the one that started with the premise that rapist parents make rapist kids who go on to rape and make more rapists. If you think that’s actually what happens, why would you not try to prevent it by telling the kid? (For clarity this is fucked, don’t do this)

>it sounds fucked up, but is it?

Yeah? Telling a child that hasn’t committed a sex crime that they’re destined to do it because one of their parents was a rapist is messed up. Human behavior is complex, you can’t just say ‘oh you have the rape gene, you’re gonna rape somebody.’

‘If you were conceived through rape you’re probably going to be a future rapist’ is perhaps not the messaging to be putting out into the world

The way boys play can lead to acute ostracization if the rule is discriminatory towards you or even if you just happen to get unlucky where girls will often make exceptions to those rules to avoid a peer being ostracized

Growing up this was not my experience at all with girls. Maybe if you’re neurotypical and/or cis then girls are like that, but I got ostracized by most of my female peers from early elementary school (and the majority of my male peers wouldn’t give me the time of day to begin with because I was a ‘girl’). The ways girls can be cruel to each other for arbitrary reasons is really jaw dropping if you haven’t experienced it firsthand. Maybe it’s different now than it was ~30 years ago, but I’d be surprised if it was. If anything I have to imagine cyber bullying makes it worse.

Might have been AI upscaled or edited to add/change the text?

If it’s because you’re worried and not because you have proprietary software you need that’s keeping you tied to it, Mint was super duper easy for me to install (I’ve never installed Linux before) and it’s been essentially out of the box compatible with the games I play since most are already optimized for the Steam Deck.

If it’s the software thing, sorry man, my spouse is in the same boat.

It’s alright, we’re already Linux users, we’re used to it.

Embroidery, cross stitch, and mending all just cost a few dollars worth of needles, thread, and cloth patches. All very cheap, and you can customize things!
