Their base is casual gamers where it's basically the only game they buy each year. The cost is very small in those terms, and they don't want to be on the old version despite the issues.
Vegetables aren't even a thing botanically, they're basically "plant stuff that isn't fruit", except when it is.
Botanically speaking, vegetables can be roots (carrots, beets), stems (celery, asparagus), leaves (spinach, lettuce), flowers (broccoli, cauliflower) seeds (peas, beans), and of course fruits that we treat as savory (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants).
And then on the opposite side you have things we call fruits that botanically speaking aren't. Rhubarb is a stem, strawberries are aggregate accessory fruits where the fleshy part we eat is actually swollen stem tissue, and those little "seeds" on the outside are the real fruits of the plant. Figs are not simple fruits, they're inverted flower clusters where the "fruit" is actually a hollow stem containing many tiny real fruits inside.
Even apples and pears aren't true fruits botanically, they're accessory fruits where much of what we eat comes from the flower's receptacle rather than just the ovary.
So yeah the botanical vs. culinary divide works both ways. Our everyday food categories are really more about taste, texture, and how we use foods rather than plant biology.
No discrimination in these cases is based on failing people that should be passing or failing based on higher standards than you're applying broadly. Not registered until you pass leads to the other issue I said, people intentionally failing to never have to vote. I personally believe being forced to at least turn up at the polling centre makes a significant difference to the final vote. I would rather some small percentage of votes end up not counted as unreadable than 40%+ of the population opt out of voting.
A test when you're 18 that lasts the rest of your life? Can't account for future injuries, disability (including those that only happened after testing), old age, or just general annoyance over being at the polling centre and apathy over filling it out well? It's not going to solve anything.
Anyone can show they can print numbers once off. And what happens if they can't pass? Are they barred from voting? That's risky for both the reason of discrimination AND people intentionally failing. Take a mandatory number writing course? For how long? What if someone indefinitely fails?
Unless these people literally didn't make it to year 6 they've already shown they CAN write numbers, read basic instructions and ask someone for help. That doesn't mean they will always be able to, or always want to.
It won't meaningfully reduce the number of ambiguous ballots.
It's mostly just that. The whole thing was a mess. The atheists were told they would be debating a Christian and prepared as such, but he won't define himself as a Christian. So much time is wasted dancing around that. They had to change the title from Christian debates to Jordan Peterson debates. On top of that he will barely engage properly, saying things like he won't entertain a hypothetical because he wouldn't allow himself to get in that situation in the first place. Just generally not acting in good faith.
You're right, the literally 1000s of people going through there daily all tell the same lie. I get you need to follow the protocols of your airport regardless of what another one does. But it would be pretty bloody obvious other ones actually are doing things differently.
But by who? Musk has said he's trying to fix the way it responds. If he was just paying people to be Grok it would take some huge balls to dissent like that. He would immediately know who it was.
It's one piece. You tell me I want to spot cars one thing they have is wheels, I'm not going to immediately assume every bike I see is a car. But taken with other signs it builds a pattern.
Honestly I've found the best way to spot LLM is just use it an absolute crap ton. You'll start to be able to spot it the way you can recognise the style of an author or director.
Sure but it falls apart when an asshole gives them a dollar change instead of a 20 and they fold it as a 20. Any system relies on having trust that the system was done correctly as you can't verify.
It's generally seen as okay on a similar level to undercover work. They do it for Investigation reasons, the torrent was already uploaded before they joined, their monitoring serves a legitimate law enforcement purpose, and they're authorized by the copyright holder (themselves) to do it. They didn't put the movie or whatever out there themselves.
Their methods are fine, they literally just pirate the stuff themselves, see which IPs connect to them, then connect those to an ISP and notify them. The main reasons you wouldn't get notices are getting lucky, not seeding much, not torrenting things that are being monitored, or having an ISP that doesn't care much.
The single notice from the streaming site makes sense, pirate streaming sites are usually honeypots or heavily monitored.
I guess you have one with a digital on switch? Because every appliance I've ever owned with an analogue power switch can be left in on state for things like this.
I was definitely too focused on the narrow "did they rule on birthright citizenship" question and missed the bigger picture. You're right that this is way more than just procedural, it's a massive shift in executive power.
The fact that federal judges can now only issue piecemeal, state-by-state rulings essentially breaks their ability to actually check presidential overreach in any meaningful way.
I think I got too caught up in fact checking the specific headline and missed how big Trump's win actually was here, just not in the way the headlines suggested. Thanks for the correction.
You don't go up to someone and say hey I was listening to you complain about wanting a guy, how about me? and expect a good response.
