Yeah, I think it's to make sure that the animal in question is being recognized as an individual, whereas for people that's taken for granted.

I mean, in casual spoken finnish, "it" dominates. The third person singular for people "hän" is already gender neutral, but I guess we prefer not to make assumptions about anyone's personhood :D. Or maybe it (se) just rolls off the tongue more conveniently.

I'm not quite as concerned. Images don't report back by themselves like a link that has the sharing info appended to it does, so the platform (or a crawler reading that platform) would need to actively read those watermarks. Also when someone copies and shares the image again, the watermark stays the same and now they don't know if the image was shared from the original source or the first sharer, unless that platform rewrote the watermark to remain unique. So a waterproof chain of attributions would need all the platforms involved cooperating with each other.

The puddle analogy by Douglas Adams

It's great. Some people recommend starting with Player of Games, since Consider Phlebias is a bit different to most of the books in that the protagonist is someone from outside The Culture working against them, but I think the publishing order works fine too.

So the dent in the ground is a perfect fit for the puddle that formed in it?!

Did you just call finnish, estonian and hungarian "germanic" languages?

Good work guys, keep up the psyop and you'll get nice gifts!

I'm not certain that it isn't attached. The fabric might be folded in underneath the badge in a way that makes it seem like the badge isn't completely attached. The shoulder is a place where the fabric will fold, especially if its folding is constrained by a stiff badge at one spot, causing more folding right next to it.

Alternatively it could be that the badge is partially off, with one side having detached due to the stresses of the fabric folding around under it, or it could be on purpose to preserve mobility in the shoulder. The shoulder is also a prime place to snag on something and for the badge to be partially torn off. This is an unfortunately common occurence with student overalls here...

Unless you mean that the badge is in the wrong place alltogether, I don't see any glaring issue here.

If it's thick enough, then it won't bend that easily. Depends entirely on the badge.

Paitsi sit kun persut ja kokoomus taas syyttää muita omista sössimisistään ja kuuliaiset äänestäjät äänestää kahta pahemmin koska kyl ne täl kertaa saa kaiken kuntoon varmasti! (Kokoomus talouden ja persut woketuksen).

Yeah the comments on that post are nothing special and neither is the post itself, even if the linked story is amusing.

With blackjack and hookers!

I don't think anybody here objects to machine learning being used with protein folding simulations or weather prediction etc. actually beneficial use cases. Language model bullshit is what's the subject of discussion here.

"Can't have your cake and eat it too"

vs.

"Can't eat your cake and have it too"

Only one of these makes sense, but the other one is what's been used for a long time now. If I have a cake, then I can definitely eat it, but if I eat it, then I can no longer have it.

Edit: I don't mean to disagree with the simple fact that languages evolve over time. But having a majority dictate the meanings of words isn't something I like. The example of "antisemitism" (a bunch of people are using the word to describe valid criticism of the state of israel) raised in an other comment here is also very relevant.

A functionial rocket is only half the story. You also need a spacecraft which can be integrated onto said rocket. ESA hasn't had one of those since the ATV.

Sure, but that text (the joke) has already been done to death like a decade ago. "Black humour is like food, not everybody gets it" and so on...
