Couldn't predict the horror of ad overlays!

Wonder which war we will be starting before the end of 2025?

Invading Canada?

Maybe joining the Russian side in Ukraine?

Taking over Iran?

Nah, those are too obvious. Clearly he will declare war on California.

We got too good at killin'

They have Initiative if they are able to act on their own based on their training. As in they don't require being told to do their job all the time, they just do it.

If you don't bother with training then you want self starters and hopefully you are fine with whatever shenanigans they come up with.

I stuck on rule 14 or so where you have to know the country based on street maps, but did have to look up today's wordle (rule 12?) since I don't play that.

People shopped for hemorrhoid medication and anti-wrinkle cream, among other products.

Why would this involve a human or a chatbot in the first place? I prefer an interface that involves neither when shopping online.

This is like saying people prefer being stabbed over being shot.

Link formatted for anyone on other instances, which only took me a couple years to remember!

That doesn't make any sense as a statement. It sounds like you can't force freedom on people, but yeah you can make them free without consent but I don't get how that makes sense in this context.

Multiple countries show socialism works perfectly fine for essential and shared services and other things a society needs. It doesn't work for everything, which is why so many countries are a blend of socialist public stuff like universal healthcare, free education, and those kinds of things whle still having capitalism in the firm of private for profit companies for non-essential stuff like restaurants and clothing stores.

Note that if the country has socialist in the name it probably isn't actually socialist in practice.

I appreciate you giving artists credit so I can go find more of their stuff to steal.

We just lost a million people directly to covid and it resulted in public support for vaccines, masking, and other health prevention dropping. If 2 million died I would have expected Republicans to run around injecting people with diseases directly to speed up the rapture.

30+ years is old for sure, and platforms fit in that range.

20+ years could be debated, but I consider that old too.

Being old is not a negative, just a description about how long something has been around.

Dude, platformers like Hollow Knight were popular in arcades back in the 80s and d early 90s. Contra (87) and Metal Slug (96) are the first two that came to mind but there were tons of others.

They were literally arcade games and adapted to new mediums like home gaming systems and computers.

I loved this one back in the day, the different formats and the ongoing story being drip fed was done fantastically. This would make for an excellent movie.

With Florida ditching vaccine requirements it looks like the East Coast/West Coast feud is going to pick back up again.

This upsets me and I demand an apology.

Only if I can come up with a way that the thing could possibly be my fault, intentional or not. Like making a decision without asking first, or because I reminded them of something upsetting without intending to like reminding them of something other than what we are talking about. The latter is going to be the 'I'm sorry I upset you' not a real apology, because I'm not really sorry for saying the thing, just that it caused them to be upset.

In the past I would apologize for things I didn't do and all it did was make things worse because it was just a reflex response and it wasn't like I could avoid doing things I didn't do in the first place in the future.

At work I will apologize for things that may be due to not having enough information, but in that case at best I'm going to apologize for not finding out what I didn't know. It is kind of bullshit, but at least they tend to provide more information in the future. It is catering to people who can't admit their own faults to a degree, but ends up being like small talk, something we do to get other people to work as a team.

It didn't make him smarter.

Modification is the big selling point for Slate. Outside of a few accessories and the ability to change the suspension, no automaker is offering the aftermarket bonanza that Slate is. Sure, there's no paint, but Slate will print wraps for the vehicles and ship them to owners. Want your truck to become an SUV? Order the rear top, seats, and rollcage, and you have room for more passengers.

This is absolutely an approach intended to maximize the profit from what is very likely to be overpriced customization. I won't be surprised when they put up barriers to 3rd party or owner customization.

Not to mention how are they going to distribute the vehicles without a paint job if they don't have a paint shop on premesis, massive amounts of plastic wrap?

If people just buy the base model and don't add on a lot of optional and likely overpriced add ons I see the company folding within a couple of years.
