Bingo. Sony didn’t make the decision to removes disks in a vacuum. They know what they’re doing, and they’re projecting it’ll make them a fuckton of money.

I’m hoping it bites them in the ass and the high seas become more known, but I’m worried that won’t be the case.

I was an addict and in mild psychosis in 2016. Doing way better now

It is… acceptable

Also in the US, so many fast-food places have actively dismantled large parts of their dining areas since the Pandemic so they can cut cost and staff fewer people. The food is also almost as expensive as many restaurants now, so literally the only appeal to these places anymore is that they’re faster.

This isn’t because we’re unfortunately car-centric, it’s because toxic corporations have made eating inside mostly inconvenient

“Pieceofshitpleasestart, Second Engine of the Hyundai, Sinker of Bank Accounts, Breaker of Wills”

Also true. It doesn’t help that the most successful and influential people in this time-frame have also been widely manipulative by pulling the ladder to success up with them, dismantling education, and increasing the amount of sugar and other unhealthy things in our food

This is why tech has gotten so out of control in the US. In the past 40 years, this industry has had so many revolutionary inventions while our legislators on average get older and less likely to understand the newest technology, thereby making them more susceptible to being misled or misleading others. Combined with our legislators not giving a fuck about actual economics, this is how we have oligopolies everywhere in the US with cartel behavior

I had family in Nola, I’m good lmao. Everyone thinks Southerners are dramatic or exaggerating, but the Southern States hands-down have the worst climate in the country thanks to the humidity and heat mixture.

I’ve been there in August, and it and the rest of the PNW is uncomfortable in Summer. But as someone from Mississippi, nowhere in the US has the heat and humidity mixture that the Gulf States do.

From June to September, it feels like you’re breathing in a full sauna when you step outside. You never cool off, you just learn to tolerate always being wet and wondering if it’s sweat or moisture in the air that condensed on your skin

And the fact every flashback of the pastor was in a church of a different denomination lol

And we now know catnip acts on opioid receptors in their brains, so it makes sense to me that this cat would want to stay her and chill sans 1800s flash like u/homes mentioned

…wait a minute

And then the teachers were upset because the class was falling asleep after lunch. Nevermind the fact we weren’t receiving the appropriate nutrients needed to stay awake and function properly

People argued the same about calculators. This person literally described their situation as one where they’re utilizing it due to having no other option, and as a means to begin increasing their skills. LLMs are mostly garbage, but to say they have 0 benefits is being deliberately obtuse. The other commenter literally took the initiative and adapted the technology to their situation, that’s literally the opposite of what you’re complaining about.

I say this as someone that hasn’t touched an LLM in 3 years.

Huntsville Area / the Arsenal? I grew up in Mississippi and know first-hand how blatant the hypocrisy is among that crowd, especially since I also currently have family in North AL and New Orleans.

For most, they don’t even think it’s hypocritical because they grew up using excuses to justify their hatred. Using biblical passages to point out their hypocrisy just results in most of them thinking you’re the one twisting the Word of God.

Had a total hip reconstruction in January and in the past couple weeks I’ve been able to start walking without crutches or a cane.

I think I overdid it this week because today my hips are tight and burn like hell, so I’ve been in bed all day. But at least I can walk again

Hey look, it’s me

Like Christopher Reeves and stem cells

Old-school Star Fox had the best model, but the graphics in the middle photo are hands down the best of the three.

I remember thinking in the early 2000s that more polygons = better graphics, but that absolutely began changing when gaming went into the Xbox One / PS4 era. Especially now, I just want games that are well optimized and allow for more settings customization.

Right? The people that keep pushing that rhetoric are either acting in bad faith or dumb enough to believe voting 3rd party actually makes a positive difference in Federal elections with FPTP voting

Edit: They also conveniently forget that the Democratic Party is an umbrella of many different beliefs, with many members having very different values, cultures, and backgrounds - whereas the Republican Party is mostly wealthy, racist white men
