But those tacitly aren’t expected to be reimbursed for labor, so that wasn’t what I was asking about.

Does the US, as a polity, have a history of non-payment after rendered services?

That’s more famously a Trump staple.

She prompted it and I accepted because what are you going to do? Stay in a one-sided relationship?

Honestly, it was the right call even if I immediately went into emotional triage to figure out when I had fucked up.

Turns out being exiled to suck grains of sand for individual molecules of moisture up through your early 20s isn’t as good for the resume as being inducted as a child into the fasttrack program for magic West Point.

I’m going to turn “wizard” back into an insult. Some smart-aleck tries to act bougie: “fuck off, wizard”

That’s way too on-the-nose.

And she could just be screaming to get people’s attention to an outbreak of vermin. People scream when they see a mouse in their house, and mice haven’t even ruined the world in centuries.

Yeah, that’s suspicious. It could be that it’s not automatic and they’re handwriting-typing it each time. I personally don’t have an email signature set up for the “Regards, Name” bit as I tend to change them based on tone and if I want an end signature at all.

I disagree with this comment only because it is building and bolstering the precedent that everyone is using these models all the time and every written thing is generated from an LLM, even when there is no evidence to support it.

The various grammar errors and random capitalizations push toward “human” and the only support for it being LLMgen’d is the fact that it is poetic.

I fundamentally cannot agree with that take. How do you fix something if you don’t know why the current thing doesn’t work?

Is the interface obtuse?

Are the controls too manually complex to operate?

Is the tutorial instruction flat-out wrong?

Are they talking out off their ass about something they heard on hearsay?

Were they taught secondhand, and poorly, by someone else on how to operate Thing?

Please don’t try to imprecisely apply soft inclusivity to technical problems. If someone only says the stairs are difficult for them, don’t just change them into a slide because you accepted there needs to be change. This isn’t about accomodating someone’s lifestyle choices, this is (positing) dropping/adopting a standard based on vague dissent.

Bipeds can distinctly kick, punch, and also hold things into those punchers like merch and brand deals.

Bipeds are the ideal form for human propaganda.

I’ve heard it’s SE Asian, not Hawaiian

The philosophy is pretty straight-forward. I don’t know why the world is pretending it’s difficult.

None, but I’m not a historian or even interested in history beyond the broad strokes. I’m not saying Mitch is gonna be as recognizable to the uninformed as “Julius Caesar” or even “Che Guvera”. But I’m sure historians (who focus on America) could tell you the majority leaders during similarly fraught periods of history.

There’s a difference between “historians know this guy” and “historians would have to research if he existed”. McConnell will be the former.

You can’t force engagment by picking a guy whose name is Matt Booty, Microsoft.

It’s the same thing as stabbing a guy who says “what are you gonna do, stab me?”

“My dad knows a guy” is a connection?

Mitch has been the (public) headliner for the Republican for a long time. It might not be in high school textbooks but history will make a note of the Republican party he led.

You can traverse the majority of both maps, fight random spawns and talk to NPCs, in constructed cities, that have dialogue, trade, and occassionally provide quests.

Besides the dozens of standalone miscellaneous quests, Abecean Shores includes a full palette of faction questlines. Players will encounter some familiar factions from Morrowind, like the Thieves Guild, Fighters Guild, and Mages Guild, but you’ll also find dynamic new factions, including the Itinerant Priests and the Kingdom of Anvil itself. Altogether, Abecean Shores includes over 160 quests, guaranteeing dozens of hours of playtime.

What is your definition of “some thing to play”? When was the last time you even looked into those regions? Please don’t go around spreading misinformation and devaluing the time, effort, and content produced by dedicated fans if you can’t spare the time to keep up-to-date.

Cyrodiil (Project Cyrodiil) and Skyrim (Skyrim Home of the Nords) are absolutely in a playable state, but those areas are very much betas and the rest of Tamriel doesn’t exist.

Yeah, the very idea of discourse has been deconstructed so thoroughly that I can see someone saying “but humans are animals” as justification for being a monster. Or that you deserve to steal if you can find a gap in the laws preventing it.
