We going to Medieval Times!

I think you are probably right but I always imagine it like wind in a sail. It’s strong enough to push a ship but not rip the sail due to surface area. I can at least pretend that’s the case. 😆

Yeah I just don’t like the feel of dirt grit and bugs in my teeth.

The best example I can think of where the race choices really got stupid to the point of offensive was the first “The Last Airbender” movie where the director race swapped the entire fire nation to Indian, made the water nation white when they probably should have been Innuit or something similar, then chose to mispronounce the main characters name to make it sound more ethnic when the source material was in English, so they knew exactly how it should be pronounced.

Then for whatever reason, people got mad that the main character was white when it was the only character animated in such a way they could be white, and the tribe was a nomadic collection of people making it somewhat possible albeit not relevant to the nation theming of the other nations.

Anyways, this triggered my annual Last Airbender rant, so sorry about that.

Hmmm I wasn’t thinking about it before, but I am now.

Advertising successful!

Once unskippable warnings and ads appeared on DVDs I bought, I became a lost cause.

That and they just stay there active, decades after the conflict. There are still minefields from decades old conflicts that kill/injure people today.

It’s honestly no worse than dropping bombs on them. They don’t have to deal with the explosive shock blowing out their ear drums either. It’s way more escapable than sudden explosions happening all around you.

Besides… if you invade a country you’re down with death. A bunch of the soldiers use rape and attack civilians as well, so my concern for their well being dried up a long time ago.

That’s actually not the problem with chemical weapons. Chemical weapons are banned due to their indiscriminate nature (being blown by the wind) and really the fact that it causes slow deaths over years. It’s that it’s tantamount to torture (which is also banned).

Blowing people’s limbs off is considered A-OK as long as it’s not done with land mines.

Eh, that’s pretty metal. What I like about it is that it’s not some chemical weapon that floats on the air to hiteveryone in the vicinity. You will see where you are hitting clearly because it’s like a bright tracer round. And it’ll cause more injuries than deaths.

You almost have a sporting chance to get away once it’s started compared to the relatively sudden chaos of explosions.

Yes. It’s making fun of people like me who are completely incapacitated for a day when I get a migrane/fever but get hit by some random thing and start bleeding and just shrug it off.

Women get lots of practice being miserable and carrying on with their menstrual cycles, while guys like me generally feel fine for monthes at a time, with normal aches and pains, then just fall apart with the sniffles.

It’s a relatable truth/joke in alot of relationships.

The restaurant is not Disney owned, but a business located within a Disney property. Think like a panda express at a mall food court. The person’s estate is suing the mall because the restaurant didn’t follow their allergen guidelines. Those guidelines also being posted on the mall website.

Sure, if that’s how a really popular subreddit pays it’s moderators, it’s not unreasonable. We just know that isn’t what’s going on here.

In addition, it would be unreasonable to expect users of a free service to suddenly start paying for it without an extremely huge value boost which there’s been no mention of. If anything engagement will certainly go down, further reducing the value.

I’ve learned to hate companies that replaced their support staff with AI. I don’t mind if it supplements easy stuff, that should take like 15 seconds, but when I have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get to the one lone bastard stuck running the support desk on their own, I start to wonder why I give them any money at all.

Yeah I had to do this with all my machines this morning. Worked.

If you are looking to subcontract some of that workload, I only need 1 mil to talk shit online

I mean yeah… if he had a solution they would be actually have the revolutionary AI tool the tech writers write about.

It’s kinda written like a “gotcha” but it’s really the fundamental problem with AI. We call it hallucinations now but a few years ago we just called it being wrong or returning bad results.

It’s like saying we have teleportation working in that we can vaporize you on the spot but are just struggling to reconstruct you elsewhere. “It’s halfway there!”

Until the AI is trustworthy enough to not require fact checking it afterwards it’s just a toy.

Facial recognition still struggles with really bad mistakes that are always bad optics for the business that uses it. I’m amazed anyone is still willing to use it in its current form.

It’s been the norm that these systems can’t tell the difference between people of dark pigmentation if it even acknowledges it’s seeing a person at all.

Running a system with a decade long history or racist looking mistakes is bonkers in the current climate.

Honest reviews prevent bad reviews from others and returns. They should be embraced for what they are and a blueprint for what you’ve done well and where there is room for improvement.

Yeah not in most of America.

I’ve also not yet personally met a person that equates an American Jew with an Israeli.

In all honesty, every American Jew I know has always made fun of Israelis as a kind of “other”. Like how Americans make fun of the British. There’s a relationship there but you’re not the same.

Israelis are middle easterners, and no middle easterners are white to an American. That doesn’t mean we don’t pick sides like we did with Saddam… twice.
