It’s not that I disagree with you - I don’t - but your comment is my number one complaint about Lemmy. It’s a place to rant one’s fixed positions without discussion. To proudly share that you didn’t read the article and then barf your absolutist position… it’s not brave and principled. It’s dumb. Malkovich made some interesting and more nuanced statements on this subject which you didn’t read but I’m thinking at this point you wouldn’t be able to understand them anyway.
Reasonable take. Fallout mods… I can’t think of many contexts in software where the stakes are lower and the existing human-created stuff is already pretty polluted with mixed quality.
But you know. Hating on AI is not exactly a subtle art around here.
I’m perfectly fine shrugging off rocks thrown by someone whose position is that they need a pure ethnostate. To me, that’s an entirely unacceptable POV to have in 2026 which is why they need to dress it up in dramatic accusations of antisemitism. It can’t stand on any basic merits.
It’s more than that - he waited until he was in his place of power to address his enemy.
Two state is simply a fantasy. We’re going to have one state, but this could take two paths:
full unification and equality, access to religious sites, free movement, etc for all Jewish and Palestinian residents of Israel, including the territories.
annihilation of one side, resulting in a single state
Guess which one I’d prefer and which one we’re heading for.
He’s at some international governance conference (sorry, I’m not informed in all the context) and the note basically scolded him for taking part in a prior vote that went against Chinese interests, and boldly ranted about how China will never accept this outcome blah blah. He boldly read the whole note and commented that no shit they won’t accept it, “because you lost.” He then called out the behavior as brazen corruption, flouting the broad authority of the international community, and called on everyone in the room to condemn it. The room applauded.
The EU will pass comprehensive technocratic legislation against corruption. That’ll show China!
There’s one street in a major metro near me that has been timed this way for decades and it’s incredibly noticeable because it is a dead straight thoroughfare through a few dozen small blocks of housing. You can see the next 3-5 lights lined up ahead of you at all times. You absolutely learn to pace yourself so you aren’t stopping/starting constantly, looking like an idiot when you get to the next light too fast and have to stop and then watch slow cruising cars whip past you when the light turns green. It’s like a game. I think about nothing else when I’m on that street. Not even remotely new, and it definitely works. But you have to pick which big street gets this treatment and then all streets intersecting with it have to work around that.
I think it’s reasonable if sight impaired people want to appear inconspicuous. You say this is “hiding” the glasses but do you expect them to walk around with a GoPro strapped to a helmet so they can have street signs read to them?
I can only assume the “point” is just general anti-US sentiment. Hardly much that’s similar between US/Iran and US/Europe though. We’ve had a cold war with Iran for most of my life and now it’s a shooting war. With Europe it’s more like “the military power you’ve been relying on for decades may not be so reliable anymore.” To compare this to Iran is… imaginative.
That may be new but the Great Satan messaging really is the same as it ever was here.
What is that point as you see it? And how does it apply to Europe?
Man the devs founders really thought of everything.
Couldn’t they both be decent without being king?
Even inexpensive purchases may be looked at that way! Yeah what they wrote has no meaning.
People often view concerts as a way to let loose, express themselves, and make the most of the money they’ve spent on the experience
This is a hell of a sentence. Let me emphasize one part of it.
People often view concerts as a way to … make the most of the money they’ve spent on the experience
Man that says a lot. Once something costs $200 you start getting entitled behavior from people who “paid $200 for this.”
Make concerts affordable again.
I think I read your reply too quickly and got your point wrong. My bad.
Absolutely perfect example of what I mean. You want to talk about gamers like they are this specific sub-niche of humans who are all the same.
Would you do this with movies? “People who watch movies are like XYZ and they only have a couple of skills.” What about music? “There’s a music listener in this thread and he said ABC.”
This is why I led with “do you know how many people play video games?” The gaming industry earns more annually than movies and music combined.
You have some stereotype of gamers in your brain, fine. That’s your deal. But “gamers” is just “people” these days. Including me. I’m a gamer. And I say: what bogus hysteria.
What bogus hysteria. Do you have any idea how many people play video games? Would you expect them not to advertise a recruitment drive on television because we don’t want our air traffic controllers to just kick up their feet and watch the screens? Let’s not be idiots.
It’s far more interesting to ask why they need to advertise a recruitment drive. The profession has been losing skilled people because its high skill, high stress, high stakes, and their paycheck gets jerked around every time there’s a government shutdown. Let’s focus on that instead of clutching our pearls over them hiring people who have played video games before.
Yeah but who needs a thoughtful explanation when you already have a cherished narrative? /s
