I don't think there's anything cowardly about refusing to support Netanyahu's antisemitic government, except that she wasn't a bit firmer about it.

The red circle is helpful for me because Stack Overflow's UI is garbage. I always read the post, and then read the thing under the post, which is a bunch of nerds nitpicking over TLAs instead of an actual answer. Every time I open that site I forget that the answers are underneath the neckbeards, because it's so unintuitive.

The "thousands of people" watching your "stream" are bots. They can respond to what's going on in the video in real time because they're bots. Actually I technically think this would be more efficient and therefore is probably designed so that it's only one LLM pretending to be thousands of people, but I'll call it bots because that's easier to visualise. The bots know what's going on in the "stream" because they can understand what the "streamer" is saying, which means the pickup artist can put on a convincing performance to trick the mark. If it was just a recording, it wouldn't be able to respond to novel situations caused by the mark's behaviour.

I don't actually know if this technology even works, but that would be the intent used to sell it to pickup artist bros.

Capitalism manufactures scarcity. Even when we have plenty, capitalism must create limits on the sharing of free resources

People can use skins to show that they're fans of a particular work. The Metroid fans want to socially signal their Metroid fandom in Fortnite, which is a social game home to many non Metroid fans they can posture to.

It's like wearing a costume to Comicon.

Autistic person here. I like brutalism, science fiction, and the Zerg from starcraft. I think all three of those things are beautiful. I think flowers and lawns are ugly and smelly.

It's gross. I don't want to make you feel insulted, so I'm going to try to be gentle with this, but if a girl drank my beer without asking I'd think that she has poor boundary recognition and that her... hygiene preferences, are incompatible with mine. It would be an immediate and massive turnoff.

I'm sure some people like that, but even if I did like it, it would be a red flag that you did it without asking.

Americans are still using monarchy units while the rest of the world is on freedom units.

Yeah I hate it when I'm trying to enjoy myself at the park and there's a bunch of birds screaming at the top of their lungs about sex.

Atheists be like "look at all the things my real and not made up methodology can do" and then post science fiction.

Eating meat costs more plant lives than eating plants, because a cow has to eat lots of plants in order to make one steak.

I'd bang my knees into the tank and upset the fish so often if I had a desk like this. It's a good thing I don't
