That’s also true of traditional searches because the resulting webpages can just be whatever bullshit someone wrote. It will only be true that they said it. You still have to use your brain to assess the trustworthiness of the info.

Many people go out of their way to transform their bodies, from diet and exercise to drugs and surgery. My question is why not? It’s your flesh puppet; decorate it how you like.

The funny thing is, I could copy the AI’s work, but I couldn’t create it from scratch because I wouldn’t know what it should look like without looking at it, so it would still be using AI anyway.

Guess it’s time to wake up.

I didn’t say that victims can’t be abusers, nor did I say that he was a hero.

People who’ve done harm need to be prevented from causing further harm, but it’s important to acknowledge the root cause of their behavior if you want to stop future iterations.

I think that the OP is entirely a joke, but that it comes from the very real villain of systemic injustice that pressures us all to lash out. I think one could see the film as inspirational insofar as being inspired to take violent action, but I would hope they direct their aggression towards worthy targets.

I’m pretty sure the bad guy was the fucked-up system that tortured him into his behavior. He’s a victim as much as any of the people he hurt.

Everything being said on both sides in those screenshots doesn’t really mean much to me without data to show it’s actually the case.

My personal feeling is that I don’t care to own most games in the first place and would be happy getting them all from the library the same way I do with books. Without Gamepass I wouldn’t have played things like Payday 3 or Grounded in the first place because I won’t purchase them. The alternative for me is piracy.

I’m just lucky enough to have one at my apartment building, and very wasteful neighbors.

I’m in an apartment building, so I just browse the one here whenever I take the trash out. I don’t think anyone has noticed, or they’ve elected to mind their own business if they have.

There’s so much stuff that could still be used that it honestly isn’t funny, and that’s just in my own bin. How much more is being wasted across the country? But at least it’s in the recycling and not the trash, so that’s something, I guess.

No, but I did get an Xbox that only needed a power cable.

Do you have a particular source on modern LGBT realities in Iran you could recommend?

Digging through e-waste bins is one of my hobbies.

I think the capitalization is less baffling if you’ve ever received an email from Trump inviting you for an exclusive trip to Mar-a-Lago, or offering you one of his exclusive gold watches. I have no idea how they got my email, but they were sending them so frequently I actually blocked them.

Emphasis on the USD?

I don’t love the disregard for plant life just because they lack the central nervous system of animals, but this isn’t an argument in favor of eating animals. If you want to argue it’s better for us to die than to live via harm, that’s one thing, but if you accept we have the right to live at the expense of other life forms then the goal of many becomes to minimize suffering.

While plants do have sensory experiences which elicit behaviors, they don’t experience the world in a personal way; they’re like a robot or generative AI. When a dog suffers, it has a concept of self and an understanding of what is happening to it, and it will carry memories of the experience which negatively influence its quality of life.

There’s a YouTube video of a guy who I guess he and his wife did life blogs or something (I didn’t watch their content, so I don’t really know). He’s got his recording going about the start of his day, talking about how she’s sleeping in again, and then he goes to wake her, but she’s fucking dead. It’s like the most human thing I’ve ever seen on film, and I really appreciate that he posted it, even though I don’t fully understand why I feel that way. It just feels important to me.

I can theoretically vote to disarm my own country, but I cannot vote to disarm other countries.

I don’t mean to piss in the soup of anyone who just enjoys the topic, but I do want to question the idea that it’s important to reflect on the potential for nuclear catastrophe. I think nuclear weapons are here whether we like them or not, and that the average person worrying about nuclear war is as unnecessary and self-destructive as worrying about solar flares or plane crashes. Is that incorrect? Is it possible to eradicate all nuclear weapons? Am I capable of influencing whether or not nukes exist? How might one go about disarming powers which do not want to be disarmed? How do we prevent future creation of nuclear bombs or the keeping of existing ones in secret?

It gets frustrating when the thing you don’t like is a very common feature though, and it’s valid to complain.
