I’ve heard the idea that an addiction becomes an addiction once it starts negatively impacting your life.
i.e. missing scheduled events, getting angry at people when you can’t have it, lying to others about it, etc.
But I am not a licensed anything so hopefully someone else who knows what they’re actually talking about also answers
That’s not the same as the post’s photo, though. Did someone redraw it in more detail, or did someone put it through an AI image generator to look like that?
Oh that makes sense, sorry I misunderstood!
Yep, they/them/theirs is used in the same place as he/him/his or she/her/hers. It/it/its should not be used for people unless someone explicitly says those are their preferred pronouns. “It” is typically used for objects and non-human animals, so it could be seen as rude to refer to a human as “it.” If unsure, use they/them.
Using “they” for a singular person has been used since at least the 14th century, so there’s no need to feel uncomfortable with it. I highly recommend reading the Wikipedia page on Singular they, which touches on its history.
A similar example is “you.” “You” used to be only a plural, with “thou” being the singular, but over time it fell out of fashion and now “you” can be used as singular or plural, like how “they” can be singular or plural.
Singular “they” was criticised by some people hundreds of years after it started being used. But language cannot be prescribed; it is determined by how people use it.
It’s “whet your appetite” in case anyone was interested. But the misspelling is probably part of the meme
I loved the episodes about coin flipping and tying shoes!
Yeah I was reading about the editing guidelines and they have a principle that surprised me at first:
Basically, you could edit an article with information you know is true (like your bedrooms or fireplaces), but truth is not the criteria that edits get tested upon. It must be verifiable by a source.
Pretty cool that you didn’t just give up and actually got the local newspaper to interview you! That’s awesome!
Came to ask the same thing.
Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands.
I suspect it’s not a lack of playtesters that’s the problem, but harsh deadlines and crunch. That type of environment leads to tech debt to get things working fast, which leads to hard-to-manage code, which leads to bugs…
I’m confused — GPUs main function is to be able to do lot’s of calculations in parallel, vs a CPU which does one thing at a time (simplistically).
GPUs aren’t only used solely for video, it’s just that graphics are an excellent use case for this type of processing.
So I don’t think AI companies are buying GPUs for video output and more because they can process lots of training calculations in parallel. Like how bitcoin miners use GPUs even though there’s no video involved in that
I like Mullvad browser
Hey, watch what you’re sayi—waaaaiiit a miinnnuuute
They needed the actual phone to take this photo
The person with the anime profile pic has the “no under 18” emoji (🔞) so they probably either make or share NSFW content. My guess is the OP checked out their profile and found Nintendo and Omori NSFW stuff and responded with a targeted quip
It’s already happened. I don’t think there were any Trojan Horse-style jokes unfortunately
Men are never trusting women smh
You accidentally said “homophonic” instead of “homophobic.” A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another but with a different meaning, e.g. “weight” and “wait”
Libraries are basically the only remaining third space, but they don’t fill the same need as the original commentor. Libraries don’t have places for kids to run around, be noisy, and climb things. That would be awesome though
I think they just didn’t use a comma. My guess is it means “it’s 4.9 inches long, it’s thick, and it’s circumcised”
EDIT: never mind i completely misread it, you are correct
This is setting off my AI-slop alarm
