There are no applicable laws that I know about, and as a voice actor I am similarly concerned. There is a lot of focus on this in the industry atm, but we all know how glacially slow government moves. SAG-AFTRA and NAVA have this as a focus currently, and I’m watching with interest.

The Watchmen. Everyone thought Ozymandias was the supreme evil but what he did ultimately saved billions of lives.

Thankfully there are alternatives out there, and we should be using them.

They don’t. The message right now is to boycott Spotify.

Someone stole $40 million of EA’s money and didn’t advertise another horrible cashgrab?

“I’m not even mad, I’m… impressed!”

I think he’s right, but is anyone else annoyed at the suggestion that anyone is truly ‘provoked’ by weakness. Prob just a translation thing?

Oh yeah def picking this one up! What a Starship Troopers game should have been! looking at you, Extermination

Totally agree. I’m not sure why everyone focuses so hard on determining how many letters there are in their alphabet. 5 years from now it might be totally diff. It would be so refreshing if people simply said “Here’s what floats my boat today”

The ‘fun’ adjective means everyone’s answers will be different! For me, exercising is good even if many times it ends up being a VR adventure or workout.

I enjoy growing a small garden! You might not xD

Pick up some acting classes and volunteer down at the local theatre to learn more about yourself, your expression to others, learn the intricacies of a great classic story and make new friends!

Really, just pick something and go to the moon with it

This is correct.

Honestly this is one of the few things that have improved in driving over the years. There’s still the occasional douchecanoe who rides in between both lanes to keep anyone from getting by, but that is now the exception as far as I’ve seen.

RIP to the GOAT

Came here to say this. Imagine the backroom conversations going on in Parliament when the chickens came home to roost. I’m not saying they’re wrong, btw, but it just seems wild that they were the one suggesting a Palestinian state when they carved out Israel back in the day and have done literally nothing to actually make it happen.

I think there ARE other ways to combat this, and the main one is ending activist investors that empower the Jack Welch pump and dump doctrine.

If someone wants to invest in something because they like it, they should be able to do that. What they should NOT be able to do is overwhelm a company they may or may not even like with dollars and then tell the company how to run its own business. If you don’t like what a company is doing, you SELL YOUR STOCK.

It’s this incessant worshiping of the shareholder that is step # 1 of enshittifcation.

Cancelled two weeks ago, and while it’s too early for me to have a fully informed opinion, so far I’ve noticed that if you just hold items in your cart until you reach some kind of threshold (and I admittedly don’t know what that is) you can get free shipping anyway.

It’s almost like I was paying all that money just so I could one off order anything on a whim. I’m an adult, I can exercise impulse control and stick it to Amazon in some small way by doing it. Win/Win.

rofl fair enough

Hahah yeah water glassing is kind of a throwback that helps keep them even through temp variations. We did an experiment back when we had a homestead a few years ago, where we cleaned any nasties if there were any and then dipped the eggs in oil and kept them in a cool room.

We came back every three months to try an egg. We ended the experiment at 2 years after which 25% of them began to float. The rest were still edible but the yolk wouldn’t stay together when cracked.

That sounds like someone else we all know.

I dunno, I’m seeing this somewhat differently. Their ‘claim’ was that Ukraine shot down their own people.

This intelligence that they were going to have important targets who were originally going to board the plane hang back at the last moment gives a VERY different story, and that’s why this is news.

What it says is that they decided to kill the POWs themselves and make it ‘look’ like Ukraine did it, so they stopped regular travel for their own people.

Henceforth I will refer to OpenAI as ClosedAI.
