  • New York teachers stunned to learn some students can’t read time on old clocks after phone ban comes into play

    Jump

  • I learned how to read one over 20 years ago, when am I supposed to get to the point where it's just a glance? (And it's not like I rarely encountered analog clocks growing up, the only clock I could see during breakfast was an analog clock...)

    I don't mind them but for me digital is much faster to read. Granted it's still like 2 seconds at most so not like it really matters, but I find it to be noticably more mental effort.

  • If god is omnipotent he could just snip his fingers and will satan out of existence.

    Something like the great flood is also a horrible evil when, god being omnipotent, he could just snip his fingers and make people not sinners.

    If he's not actually omnipotent, sure, then a lot of things change, though overall I wouldn't describe old testament god in particular as kind anyway. Also people seem to really insist on the omnipotence.

  • Eh, while I can't judge how much flat out direct racism there still is (though, individual rather than systemic in that case) affirmative action has always seemed like a lazy shortcut to me that's better than nothing but only works because of the correlation that black people in the US tend to be poor (reason: see OP). A black kid born into a wealthy household still gets an easier life than a white kid born into a trailer park. Doing it properly would mean helping those of lower socioeconomic status (which will also mostly help minorities) rather than going purely off correlating factors.

  • The irony of claiming games need to avoid political agendas, to then talk about A/B body type being "a mistake" lol

    I guess it's just the corpo pendulum swinging back from "if we include a gay character thats progressive right? Right???" to "if we include sexy characters they won't say we're woke right? Right???".

    Maybe some day they will understand that ultimately people just care that the game is good. Though I guess controversy is marketing, and not enough people will care to not but a game over some dumb comments to offset that.

    Though while I'd never heard of the game, I certainly won't be buying it now. But I suppose that means not shutting up didn't lose them a sale since I wouldn't have known it existed otherwise.

  • I've always thought THIS was unfair

  • Interesting that it's that low, the hotels I went to in japan were all above 10k jpy (~600€) for cleaning fee if you smoke in the room. It makes sense though with how persistent smoke smell can be.

  • Some old ones do. And yes the smell before you flush is as horrible as you'd expect. The combination of diarrhea and one of those toilets made me almost throw up once.

  • It's a feature.

  • Which is what ML is extremely good at. Humans too, but we can't process data quickly enough.

    I think there'd be reasonable worry about false positives though. Imagine you just have some weird playstyle (maybe due to disability) that you got really good at, so the AI classifies you as abnormal and flags you as a cheater. Much less likely when you're looking for the software instead.

    Also it's probably just way more expensive.

    I still think the real solution to cheaters has to be to legally go after the cheat sellers. The one time I would like for laws to protect some capitalist interests (since cheaters definitely hurt the bottom line of mp game publishers) it's not happening.

  • Not paying attention in the Grub menu

    Jump

  • I've noticed that my windows always takes a minute to launch when it wants to sell me on either its surveillance bullshit or force windows 11 on me. And because I don't launch windows that often, that is basically every time. Otherwise it's quite fast at 10-15 seconds.

    Linux usually boots in around 10 seconds (including loading the DE after login), though sometimes it gets stuck for a bit after login for some reason.

  • It would be minus the part where the entire republican platform is unhinged far right shit so I'd judge people for that.

    1 I and likely the vast majority of people have never seen stated anywhere because I prefer my sanity intact by not following everything some terf says (and I'd agree that is a better reason to not buy it, though I'd still say she's almost a billionaire anyway so a lot of other things people do have just as bad of an impact), 2 is honestly just delusion on her part and kind of irrelevant, she would find different reasons to continue her bs.

    Also to be clear saying "I think you streaming this game is morally wrong" to a creator you already watch/in other relevant contexts is of course completely fine, harrassment is not.

  • Which is just as bad lol. Feel free to boycott people for streaming it or giving it publicity if you truly think it matters, but personally attacking them over giving a spinoff of an already extremely famous persons work that actively disagrees with the main reason everyone hates said person a slight bit of exposure is honestly unhinged.

    You probably cause more harm by buying a single product on amazon than by buying and streaming hogwarts legacy.

  • "I don't like Muslims" is a valid steam review according to Valve

    Jump

  • Based dev and I wishlistrd that game because it looks fun and I want to support them for the response alone, but I think I kind of agree with that decision, or can at least see where it's coming from. Disliking a game for its political message seems entirely valid to me, if someone made an otherwise amazing game but the message is "hitler was great actually", I'd like to be able to negatively review that. And since it's not review bombing but actual individual idiots, it shouldn't have a big impact wrt to the ratio. If anything I read a review like that and become more interested in the game. Allowing it at least keeps them honest.

    Though "it has muslims" as a negative review reason still seems like it should be removed just for being racist (or if i were to give the reviewer way more benefit of the doubt than they deserve, sounding racist. I guess in theory they could just not like religions in games, but let's be real they'd love if it were christians instead).

  • Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds

    Jump

  • I would call it systemic, in fact I'd argue it's the central flaw of capitalism (but one that imo can be mostly fixed with heavy regulation and taxes scaling to near 100% as you say).

    When wealth = power, those with wealth will always attract even more wealth.

  • Many herbivore species are also opporturnistic omnivores, so it could be argued just as much that it's about biological specialization.

  • The error mightve been in when the currency conversion was done, the first googlr result claims that in 1843 one pound would get you around 5 usd.

    Thanks for actually doing the math, I've seen this float around for a while and it always felt off.

  • Don't crucify me

  • Pc players being fewer depends very much on the game, the ea sports games are notoriously console heavy to the point where often the features of the pc version were heavily outdated. Iirc battlefield's playerbase was historically always more PC focused. And I don't think it's fair to complain that pc games run like shit because they don't cap the graphics.

    If you're just gonna play a few games a year, consoles are without a doubt cheaper right now though. They also don't have the ability to play any of the games I regularly play, but that, like the playerbase, is entirely dependent on the individual.

  • why

  • Still mostly only good as a guessing guideline because there's no real system, just etymological patterns, but yea you can guess more than 33% for sure.
