Yeah it's like when you hear about playing baby shark 24/7 at a volume to deprive people of sleep and some people are like "hahaha baby shark isn't that funny" but you can pick any song in the world and if you play it long enough, loud enough, keeping people from sleeping, they will go absolutely clinically insane.
efficiency is when you have to recall your cars the most out of anybody because it's more efficient to get them out the door and in to the ~~suckers~~ customers hands and then fix them later
I'd really love to know what the percentage is that is or is at risk of truly being lost - this article just completely ignores that piracy exists. Maybe you can't buy game boy games or Metal Gear or Unreal Tournament anymore but the idea that they are inaccessible is just plainly wrong. I guess you probably can't advertise that in business insider (if only to prevent some ridiculous lawsuit from Nintendo) but it changes this number drastically.
I actually do remember stuff from the 90s and 2000s that's truly lost, and it's a damn shame, but the black flag will always provide.
it's like 17 dollars for a "small combo" at five guys and yes I know it's a lot of food but 1) reports are they aren't doing the whole-bag-full-of-fries thing anymore and 2) you can come out ahead and probably get something as good or better at a bar
speak for yourself
I guess at the core of this, we are afraid of ourselves. We are afraid that the worste of humanity outpaces the better parts, that the inputs and training aren’t altruistic but are more pointedly “bad” or “wrong”, and thus leading to “harmful”, whether through misinformation, lies, or fabrications.
Is there any reason not to be afraid? I think you could say that Tay was essentially the same idea a few years back and it took like 48 hours loose on the internet for it to spout literal Nazi (1930s-40s German NSDAP) rhetoric. Besides that being a PR disaster - if "AI" is only getting stronger and more integrated into human life and society, that can be pretty problematic.
It's in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - THE authoritative guide on what is or is not considered a mental disorder, yes.
This is hardly groundbreaking stuff - people can be addicted to porn, food, exercise, pretty much anything. Really the primary criteria in calling any addiction a "disorder" is "what negative effects is it having on your life?" Well, "I literally want to kill myself when my parents cut off the wifi" is a pretty negative effect.
This is interesting. I don't think any really productive debate is going to come out of this - it'll be the same one that's been rehashed a million times - but it's hard to say "be a parent and control what your children do" when they're literally running away from home and threatening suicide when the parents try to parent.
I suppose if nothing else, hopefully we get more research and support services for these extreme cases of behavioral addiction.
Dana Gonzalez, who spoke in favor of withdrawing from the ALA, said the commission “ought not promote, celebrate or support what scripture condemns” and then quoted Bible scriptures that she said condemned what Drabinski wrote in her tweet, according to the Daily Montanan.
Ah, there it is. You have it served up to you on a silver platter - a literal self proclaimed Marxist - you know, the thing they claim that everyone to the left of Mussolini is, and they skip that and go straight for the gay angle.
Oxo good grips is extremely highly recommended everywhere - it hits that perfect balance of well designed, durable, and not too outrageously expensive.
There's nothing inherently hypocritical about calling something an "asshole move" and then voting for it. It just means you're an asshole, which is no great surprise.
Lmao, what is wrong with this guy? I found this whole article to be humorous and light and it was a fun look back on the old days. Tons of people have an "interest in revisiting it".
Given his location it strikes me that I have a solid chance of actually meeting this guy in person and sussing out why he's such a no-fun prick.
