For judges, I mostly look for key backers. For example, teachers union shows support? I’m in. Moms for Liberty or anything with “Patriot”? Instant vote against. Or I read the voters pamphlet for dog whistles. If neither pan out, then I actually have to do research, ugh.

Which was the more important point.

If the microscopic particle subject to superposition was the catalyst for the cat’s death, then too isn’t the cat’s fate in both realities?

Of course he was being intentionally absurd

This is fantastic and good advice, but I also remember them in great numbers 20+ years ago, and people were mowing their lawns then, too.

Sweet little murder beasts

The track record is getting good, though. Fallout and Last of Us nailed it. Cyberpunk and Arcane were pretty awesome, too. Maybe they’ve figured out the formula

The problem is the conflation. You’re expressing your disgust or dislike toward something. So when you use bigoted language or slurs toward anyone or anything, it’s akin to saying “I hate this as much as I hate mentally challenged people” or “this AI is as stupid as a mentally challenged person.” You’re creating a comparison/analogy to express lack of intelligence rather than just saying “dumb as a box of rocks”.

Maybe in your mind you mean ‘retarded’ in the mechanical sense, but unfortunately it already has a connotation with our society. You can’t, for example, put a swastika on something and expect people to be ok with it when you explain that you mean it in the “peace” sense.

Are you more excited for the show or the game sequel?

“Bitch is used in dog breeding.” And “The Nazi salute was Greek, too.” Doesn’t make it ok. Maybe ok to you, but only without empathy for others who have been harmed by it.

I think that was one of the pacing strategies

I then told it that I’d like to hit them all in one day. It gave me some pacing strategies, an itinerary, and complemented my bold endeavor. It recommended that I research menus so I can focus on quality over quantity. I may have it do that for me, too.

Worked fine when I tried. Must know my location and not yours?

Have me a list with locations, stars, reviews, and provided a source of Yelp "top all you can eat in [my city]

Monsieur Pouce

But see, you forgot to spend a billion dollars marketing it. That was where you messed up.

Even funnier, I told my kids it was the most expensive video game and they said, “oh because of Chris Pratt?”

Apparently the ads all featured Chris Pratt.

Sorry to make this seem even worse, this isn’t even what you think it is. Not a Niantic gps game.

It’s literally like any other mobile board game. You hit the dice roll button and the piece bounces around the board and your cash goes up. That’s about it. It’s interactive because sometimes where you land takes money away from other players (those you have friended or randos)

There is nothing novel here.

source: my children forced me to play with them when it was super trendy. All of their friends (and their friends parents) were playing. So. Many. Popups. It was CONSTANTLY trying to get you to spend. We did not, but know people who poured money in to keep the dice rolling

edit: also thank you for this, I always like my kids to be aware of why they or their friends are doing something. They’re hyper aware of trends and marketing (but also don’t want to be left behind when their friends are doing something new).

In this case, someone would have to sue or otherwise intervene. But that action is radically unpopular. Nobody wants to be that guy.

I know, Smart Fix updated their sign!

I want to hard agree with Apple that people are, in fact, too stupid to choose their own apps, but not following Apple’s greedy logic.

Look at the top apps and sites people use. The tech billionaires. It’s stupid as hell

Nearly all of these systems are put on timers. So they stop cycling while you’re at work or over night. They’ll often make it a part of the smart home ecosystem as well, so you can override from a smart home device or phone

Same happened where I am. They did this to some streets on the summer time, and changed an entire lane into an extra wide bike lane. They were so popular, they were kept year round.

The transit issue sounds bad, but the next phase is people demanding more weekend transit, then it will improve, too!
