Yeah, I’m not sure. People are calling it highlighting, but it doesn’t fit any reasonable pattern to have been manually highlighted. Is there some sort of bad automated highlighting? Or just someone still learning what highlighting is even used for. Or is it just some sort of style thing?
I think the goal was to tell the story in a way that doesn’t seem as familiar to point out just how crazy it is that we have become used to these headlines every single day.
Just saying elon musk tweeted a dumb thing is whatever. But keep in mind who he actually is despite… who he is.
Yeah, the issue is calling it “replacement” instead of a demographic shift. The replacement part makes it feel like a bad thing. It’s just a natural shift that is no longer as artificially repressed by those in power as it used to be.
I would assume reasonably and reservedly, rather than jumping the gun. It’s certainly how I responded. Not sure what you really mean to ask though.
If you mean about conspiracy theories, I can pretty much assure they waited to see what was actually the case rather than believe the first thing they heard.
I certainly heard a lot of conspiracy theories at the time, but I didn’t know anyone who believed them. But I don’t and didn’t really hang out with the type of people that believe stuff like that in general. My friends and family are generally empirical evidence people, logical thinkers rather than emotional.
If you are really worried about getting caught not following the exact rules as written, you could always pay for multi device connections… then they won’t care.
But it’s definitely possible to set up your VR router in a way that is not gonna bother anything. Most people in this thread don’t know that your VR router doesn’t need internet access. If the VR stream is all it is doing, it can be isolated from the internet, and the isp won’t know or care it exists.
The other thing about rules, that they don’t tell us autistic people, is that following rules is actually kind of optional. Certainly more optional than it feels like to us. Think about it in terms of what the people were thinking when they wrote the rules, and who will be enforcing the rules and what they will care about. And what the enforcement of the rules would look like. (In this case, the most likely initial outcome of them enforcing these rules would be either an e-mail or paper letter telling you they noticed you are breaking a rule, possibly with details to help you stop breaking it, but likely not). Try to sus out the “spirit” of the rules rather than the letter of the rules. That is how all the other humans use rules and why to us it always feels like everyone is breaking all the rules and getting away with it.
If you follow every rule to the letter… you really can’t do anything. At all. Like, literally, even we are breaking rules we don’t yet know about every single day.
Once you have to put that amount of effort and attention in for a reasonable income… you are just doing a job… a job no-one benefits from. So it won’t be satisfying to do. No longer beating the system, just beating yourself.
No idea, I only noticed it a couple weeks ago. The prime gaming redemption site where I used to get stuff for lost ark now has a listing for free games, does amazon games, epic games, and gog games. The epic games are different ones than the free ones directly from epic.
There are even more free games from prime for the epic store, but the epic store has it’s own free games too that don’t require any subscription to anything.
The effects are pretty well done. At least on this heavily compressed version, curious what it looks like raw, if there is a clean looking raw version. Unless the compression was necessary to make it believable.
To be fair to the tv, it’s not letting you know it’s off, it’s letting you know it’s still on but in sleep mode. TV’s are just giant tablets now. If it was off, you’d have to wait for it to boot into its operating system the next time you wanted to watch TV.
The one Russian citizens are legally banned from calling it, a war, the one they started 2 and a half years ago. It’s still the same thing, they are just more clearly losing it now.
Yeah, I’m not certain he would be able to come up with ways to insult people that aren’t just projecting the insults that hurt him. He doesn’t even usually know what they mean at first. He’ll just project onto them a random negative thing people have said about him and then either deny it if it didn’t stick, or lean into it if it did.
He’s not creative enough to come up with insults actually about them on the spot. Those have to be pre-planned or handed to him.
“Despite a ramp being available, staff presumed Ms Landre didn’t want one”
How is that just one throwaway sentence under one of the images and not explained in any more detail. What does that mean? How available? Why did they assume she wouldn’t want it? Does she know a ramp was available?
2019, back in #avocadotoast days. When apparently we wasted our money on extravagances like “not the cheapest fruit/vegetables”. Which wasn’t even the case. We literally didn’t even do that, we 100% had to eat the cheapest fruit/vegetable, if we were lucky enough that any fruit or vegetable met our budget. They were so out of touch that even their attempt to find a minor extravangance they thought we could afford to waste money on but shouldn’t, was inaccessible.
It’s the whole reason science stuff tends to use latin as much as possible. It’s a dead language that is relatively easy to learn, but won’t evolve over time as no one is casually using it.
Social media effect, the odds are not in your favour. Comparing your random pictures to the best pictures of thousands of other people combined into one entity.
Mathematically, you shouldn’t be able to randomly happen accross even one picture that compares, let alone is better than any one of the top rated posts on a social media site.
Having said that, pictures of a cat you care about automatically get bonus points to you and you’ll like your pictures way more than what are effectively the equivalent of super model cats you don’t have any investment in.
So, in conclusion “I like typing cute like a child, but why do people think I’m a child when they see how I type and have no other information about me to go on?”. Is that basically your question?
Wait… what do your nails look like? Maybe you are not ok?
I mean, I certainly wouldn’t assume it was more than just the one thing yesterday, if you did, why didn’t you warn anyone? But now that it has been 2 things, you can certainly bet every other device is checked or chucked for a while. Fool me twice…
