I’ll start worrying about the “population crisis” when there are no more orphans because they’ve all been adopted.

The simpler the ‘fact’, the more likely it is to be an oversimplification and largely untrue.

In this example, you have to overlook any time someone became pregnant without consent. They never chose it to begin with, so blaming them for “not taking responsibility” for something they never wanted is oversimplifying a complicated subject to the point of falsehood.

It’s also especially funny how often this argument comes from people who, in the same breath, will talk about their savior being “of virgin birth”. You can’t argue that chastity works for everyone when it didn’t work for Mary.

Yeah, and they act like learning about a new skin cream on the street is going to be subjected to the same level of scrutiny as learning about a new study on “gun bans”, even though people have been studying this for decades and the results largely don’t change, only the public perception of them.

It’s like if they showed people a new study for “Earth gravity” vs “Moon gravity” and act surprised when people don’t immediately catch on when their numbers say the moon makes you weigh more. You wouldn’t be expecting that result OR trust a random person on the street to change your view of gravity with a chart of 4 numbers.

Yes, they found bias. Cool.

Alternate title: A single “study” presented from someone on the street is typically not enough to change anyone’s perspective on a subject, especially if that “study” presents “facts” that are contradictory to the listener’s previous knowledge.

Humans aren’t rational. Humans are rationalizing. If someone on the street giving you a basic chart with 4 numbers on it is enough to change your mind, you likely didn’t have much of an opinion to begin with.

Seriously. Someone never clicked on the “you are an idiot” popup that auto-played music, moved around the screen, prevented task manager from opening and cloned itself if it was closed.

I think what will hurt worse is that the genocide is still talking place and his sacrifice didn’t move the needle as much as he would have expected.

Hyper-detailed foreground with a blurry background and a subject matter that falls into the uncanny valley? Yeah, that all checks out.

E2A: Zoom in on smaller sections and it becomes more obvious. Objects that should be in the same depth of field have different levels of blur, patterns don’t follow rules, it looks like the jacket has buttons, but half of a zipper on one side? There’s a lot of little things.

It doesn’t need to be super accurate, just enough to tell them if they’ll need to get a new one soon or not. They could probably just pick it up and guess, but at least this gives them a number to track.

“at me”?

Bruh, you’re not who they were responding to. You don’t have to insert yourself and then get defensive.

They would be richer, but by “allowing” working class people to have a thriving life means the power gap between us and them wouldn’t be as big. People could organize and overthrow them, so they have to keep us fighting amongst ourselves for scraps.

The cruelty is the point.

Article was published in 2017, and gun deaths among US kids has increased 50% since 2019.

We live in hell.

That’s not doing facial recognition though, that’s a reverse image lookup. It’s a lot easier to find an exact match for a photo.

I’d imagine they include their off-hours in the ‘averages’.

“So crazy that we’re getting more calls when we’re open than when we’re closed!”

I’ve been playing couch co-op with my husband on both of our Switches. It’s not too bad if you don’t force a turn timer. The game will give you a ding when you’re the last one to play, but we both have ‘side games’ or play with our cats in the meantime if the other needs more time. I wouldn’t do it online or with a turn timer, though.

10-15 Celsius literally isn’t “freezing” though?

Well, mostly. You still need to use Kelvin so you don’t get negative numbers for sciencing, but using them simultaneously for both day-to-day and science is nowhere near as common. Most people just want to know what to wear, and using Celsius loses a lot of the fidelity that Fahrenheit gives. This is after I spent 2 years only looking up the weather in Celsius so that I could get a feel for each degree of difference, and ended up just getting frustrated at how the same degree temperature in Celsius could feel drastically different to me when it’s actually a 2-3 degree difference in Fahrenheit.

Also, FWIW, British people love to use Fahrenheit when it’s over 100 degrees because it ‘feels hotter’ to say that than ‘37’, but they also love using Celsius when it’s below freezing, as it ‘feels colder’ to say negative numbers instead of numbers in their teens or twenties. It’s more psychology than anything, but Fahrenheit still definitely has its practical uses, and I’m not ditching it anytime soon.

We can ditch feet/yards/miles though. Meters definitely make more sense in that regard.

Celsius is how hot water feels. Fahrenheit is how hot humans feel.

One is clearly more applicable for day-to-day life.

So, in the screenshot where it says it was “submitted by [deleted]”: I can’t be 100%, but I’m pretty sure that’s what it looks like when the post was deleted entirely. It wasn’t a ‘blank’ post. It was a rant against GIMP in the GIMP subreddit as someone else posted here.

Those are not my ONLY issues, no. They’re the most egregious for a videogame right now, but the entire concept is just … Fluff for no reason other than to list “AI NPCs” on the box.

Paying for more writers is simply better all around.
