Anything good?

Then all of them. They are human beings, not black holes of pure evil.

As if someone took the concept of spaghetti code and applied it to an entire company.

Worth noting that the boomer wojak meme started as "That 30 year old boomer". It was never about actual Baby Boomers.

I'd love a city builder based on making gritty industrial cyberpunk megacities, with plenty of verticality and layering. You know, the places where there's nothing but concrete, steel and neon for kilometers both horizontally and vertically, and a colonies of mutant cannibals fighting against giant rats in the derelict areas near the bottom.

Me because I started ironically and can't stop

why does it need to be built in? What's wrong with downloading one extension and being set afterwards?

Wait a moment, did anyone actually think those were robots? Did anyone claim they were actual robots? I saw the videos going around and people were generally just impressed at the makeup and costume work.

Replies in the twitter link make me laugh though.

@VicBeeSee: Full on idiotic post, the company didn't pretend they were robots.

@Byron_Wan: It did… it didn’t tell others that those were human beings.

This either sounds like someone trying to make an issue out of nothing, or someone who got momentarily tricked and is embarrassed about it.

Omnipotence without knowing how to control it could very easily instantly annihilate you, whether physically or mentally through complete ego death.

First question: You use

--download-sections "*00:00-10:00"

as an option to download the first 10 minutes. The asterisk means the numbers are treated as a timestamp instead of looking for a chapter with that title.

Second question I don't know.

I always begin seeing weird shapes if I keep my eyes fixed somewhere. Doesn't matter where it is, can be a white wall even. I don't think it's anything more than a quirk of how our eyes work.

The sooner you stop expecting anything from games journalists, the better off you'll be.

WOKE LIBERAL america be like

  • wokelahoma
  • they/themessee
  • nonbinary dakota
  • transylvania
  • hannah montana
  • lesbiana
  • kawaii
  • gay texas
  • north and south queerolina
  • washington H.R.T.

I feel like a true meritocracy would be a system kind of like Plato's republic where children are separated from their parents as early as possible and are all raised from the exact same level, so the only thing that sets them apart will be individual talent (their merit). If not this, then the wealth, status and connections of your family will influence your opportunities, which runs counter to meritocracy.

Safe to say it's not a system I'd want to live in.

That clip at 2:34 in the video where they build the off-ramp might have made me drool a little bit

If all cims need access to parking that might actually make good public transit much more important for your city if you don't want it to look like Houston in the seventies

even when you’re building alliances or trading relationships it is generally to gain some temporary benefit until you are in a position to defeat your partner later on (whether militarily, scientifically, etc).

This is exactly what made me gravitate away from Civ games and more towards Paradox strategy, where the AI actually behaves more like a real country would do instead of a player trying to win a game.

this is exactly why the kibibyte, mebibyte, etc. were introduced.

I tried to use Pocket because of Mozilla's relentless promotion, but I ended up finding it too clunky compared to regular bookmarks.

First release: July 1987

Latest (stable) release: February 2023

I'm impressed.

Just two more weeks

I have an ambient playlist with artists like Carbon Based Lifeforms, Sync24, 36, Cell, and some tracks from video game soundtracks.

Yes I'm a bit confused as well, how are they supposed to know what to recommend if they don't know what you've been watching?

Sounds like they kept a watch history anyway but in secret, and turning it off just means that the user can't see it anymore. Exactly like back when turning off location history on Google apps just meant you couldn't see it anymore, but Google still collected and kept the info.

I’ve been trying to bury stories that are going around that I have the biggest dick in Britain. It’s hard work.

I won't let you do this, the people deserve to know!

Yes, I do wish it had a longer memory. It feels like only the past few days of watching has any impact on suggestions, if you've neglected to watch videos about a certain topic for over a week it's basically ancient history and never comes up again. I'd love to get a varied mix of things I've been interested in for the past 6 months or even longer.

"Goat Flokk" by Cristobal and the Sea

Majority of the song is fantastic, but the last 1/4th has an extremely loud and shrill flute solo that nearly makes my ears hurt.

I can already hear people going "so what, it's industry standard"

Thank you for bringing my attention to this, Sugar for the Pill is one of my favorite songs and this feels like an entire album of that.

I'd assume that "related" suggestions would still work, unless Youtube decides to break them out of spite.

You can get that experience any time by going to Trending.

You could also pour milk in your boots.

Well that's certainly ominous
