clout != attention

I think that’s a very good summation. The weaponization of blame is something both parties employ to certain extents, but to one of those parties, it’s their entire platform, and they’ve painted themselves into a corner where their relevancy is predicated on perpetuating it indefinitely.

Seems to me that laws that protect acts of violence in the name of self-defense, laws that protect gun owners when their guns are used by others after being stored improperly, juries and judicial systems that are selectively lenient to certain classes of people create a system in which accountability doesn’t really…

Now, the part that I will agree with you on is “how?”

uh, that was exactly my point to him, it was an example of - if he was going to “solve” something without proposing how to make it happen, then why wouldn’t he propose the ideal solution? neither of our solutions are actual solutions, because neither of them include the details of how to make it happen

don’t worry, in my fantasy world solution, railroads are required to have them.

that’s not simple, because the question isn’t “what do we do” (to get the top of that huge mountain, it’s simple! climb it!) but “how do you do it”

“Are they telling us it impossible to make a game for $44 million today”

A parent company that owns multiple brands? Mind blown gif!

The world would be a much better place if we instituted the “travel draft” where every teen was forced to pick a spot in a drastically different culture to live on for a year just to bust up that impression of “normal” before ones worldviews become too calcified. (That we’d be forced to care about the economic health…

This is good. Watch it. Can't relate to the MGM is what jokes - it's on Amazon Prime in Canada.

The kia/hyundai lane assist is awesome .. basically just hints you .. you work with it without noticing it. I forget it’s there, and lament its absence A LOT when I’m in a car that doesn’t have it.

what spider wouldn’t? look at a bagpipe ... it’s like a big sexy spider

I’m a C++ programmer in the games industry. I work alongside ML software engineers .. they’re a few desks over. I’ve used GPT-4. Pretty useful as a handy reference sometimes. It’s quite impressive, and I’m well aware what it’s capable of. (It’s also impressive how confidently it can provide dead wrong information or…

In this current era of (I suspect) AI-generated reviews, the grade is just optimized in a vacuum to maximize clicks/ad-views with no calibration to other content.

B != B+

Puss in Boots TLW was super great. Facts. And yeah, I agree with Vetro28, visually it owes a lot to Spider-verse for de-risking that art direction.

They won’t. The market will. Somebody below said the other apts will now charge for parking. That’s the same difference - rent is cheaper in the place without parking. They’re certainly passing on the savings from indoor-roller-coaster-less apartment construction, aren’t they? I think all you’re trying to say is that…

If you feel the controller vibrating, it’s DualSense. There are no other motors in the PS5 controller other than the two motors that deliver the haptics. If you didn’t like it, you just didn’t like the haptics implementation. There’s no “regular rumble” on the DualSense. (Note that older generation games that had…
