Surely nothing weird and, frankly, worrying, will be done with these tools...

The story is only stupid if you don't write it well. Think about how Raider of the Lost Ark stays the exact same without Indiana Jones. It sounds stupid, but what makes the story good is the characters and how they interact, their motivations and goals, the journey they take.

You can take any classic story and explain it in a stupid way to make it sound bad. Star Wars is about a kid being radicalised by a crazy old guy and committing acts of terrorism on government buildings, and the vice president is actually his dad. Sounds kinda dumb, but it's one of the most iconic stories of the 20th century.

As for your own idea, I don't see what's stupid about it. Batman's parents were hella rich and he's awesome.

Anyway, I recommend Brandon Sanderson's lecture series about writing Fantasy and SciFi, its on his YT channel.

Yes, a marine biologist came up with it originally.

Considering the level of oversight and quality control, probably not much. The only way the general public would know is that people would complain very loudly.

It goes further than that. Different singing techniques use more or entirely different muscle groups than talking. Some more extreme metal vocal techniques bypass the vocal cords almost entirely. Y'all should watch the Charismatic Voice videos where they stuck cameras and stuff down Will Ramos' throat.

It's probably much higher for that specific article

Have a real look at meat factories and tell me that is natural. I have nothing against eating wild animals like deer to counteract the lack of predators. But eating industry meat and claiming you are naturaly a predator is ridiculous, especially with the amount and quality of meat alternatives available.

Have a parasocial relationship, but somehow worse.

I hope this brings stoat.chat more attention. It's promising, but not at the same level in terms of features.

The thing is they aren't (yet). It looks like the EU might be thinking about introducing some sort of requirement for age verification, but it's nowhere near decided enough for Discord to demand it globally. There are also methods of age verification that are much better and more secure than what they will use, like the German AusweisApp.

Can'tbelieve no one's said this yet, but first you should check protondb.com for all the games you play a lot. It will show you how well they work in Linux. The biggest issue are competitive/esports titles because of their anticheat systems. Most other games run fine out of the box, but some run better with some tweaking.

 

New Protoframes, new Warframe, Infested Coda, Excalted Weapons rework, Ash retouch.

 

Taken on a Canon EOS 80D with a Tamron 17-50mm on my walk home from Uni at 0:30 am. I was studying, obviously. Any thoughts/advice?
