Honestly I get your frustration. Feeling like you’re being hidden away…

But I think you’re taking what you’ve got for granted. It sounds like your family is fairly liberal and well-meaning, but that doesn’t mean her’s is.

Even in the west, religious conservatism can get nasty real quick (especially for woman), so I can absolutely see why she might be scared to tell her family.

She probably doesn’t like hiding you in the shadows any more than you do - you should be careful putting your feelings over her well-being.

An agreement with Russia isn’t worth the paper its written in. The Kremlin lies as easily as it breathes.

LLMs are made to mimic how we speak, and some can even pass the Turing test, so I’m not surprised that people who don’t know better think of these LLMs as conscious in some way or another.

It’s not a necessarily a fault on those people, it’s a fault on how LLMs are purposefully misadvertised to the masses

Yeah…

• A game with actual gambling disguised as a loot system - perfectly fine, PEGI 3+

• A game that depicts gambling but has no actual gambling in it - absolutely fucking NOT, PEGI 18+

I can understand why PEGI would be hesitant to give a game depicting gambling a rating of 3+…

But putting it as 18+, on the same level as actual, real money gambling games is ridiculous.

It shows a complete lack of awareness regarding the difference in danger between depiction of gambling vs actual gambling. And perhaps more dangerously means malicious publishers (cough EA cough) are able to get away with slipping disguised real money gambling into their games (and in front of children eyes) unnoticed.

Exactly. If anyone thinks Russia will stop at Ukraine, they’re a fool

I wouldn’t say it’s just more important, I’d say it’s a moral imperative to support Ukraine’s fight for it’s sovereign land over keeping buddy-buddy with a government running rampant with corruption and Russian puppetry

Well the simple answer is that doing that is the easiest way to divide the masses and turn them against one another, thus allowing the rich to maintain control and do what they want

Working in a field were I have to perform a lot of these types of tests, you’d be surprised how many look like Covid tests at a glance - always look at the labelling.

Also, in this form factor you’d pee into a container and pipette a very small amount into the test using the (usually) accompanying tiny pipette.

I’d do another test to be sure, but even a faint line can indicate a positive result (similar to Covid tests of the same form factor)

For her part, the chancellor told BBC News that she thought “sustainable aviation and economic growth go hand in hand"

As said in the article, the technology to reasonably decarbonise planes doesn’t really exist yet - so the only path to “sustainable aviation” is to reduce it to the point it can be properly offset by other decarbonisation efforts.

That makes these two concepts almost entirely mutually exclusive without proper planning, and just slapping multiple airport expansions down then saying “It’s fine, we’ll plant a few trees at some point” doesn’t fucking cut it.

Imagine getting stabbed with a bootleg CS:GO knife

On one hand, its nice that they actually responded, because even that can’t be taken for granted nowadays.

On the other hand, they spent more text on telling you they’re holding onto your data (and trying to milk you for more) than they did telling you the thing the email was about!!

Loomer finally gets to feel what its like to be the people she vehemently discrimates against, yet I get a feeling she won’t learn a damned thing from that.

It’s easy to say don’t fight back when you’re not the one getting beaten up and mugged

It’s not over-analysis of subtle body movenents, it was a straight up Nazi salute

Remember when most people knew Trump as that one sleazy businessman who cameo’ed in Home Alone one time, and hosted the US Apprentice - rather than as the largest single threat to US democracy in modern times? Sure wish it had stayed that way.

Given the available context, I’m inclined to agree with ChatGPT. I can’t see those listed being anything else

Was my first thought. The only reason special characters would ever matter in a password is if you’re storing/processing them improperly

Now would you call this Donald Musk, or Elon Trump?

How the fuck do people keep giving him more money??

Most of his ventures are dumpster fires, and SpaceX only runs well because he doesn’t touch it.
