  • OK. Let's celebrate the eucharist by consuming their flesh and blood, then.

  • For those who's country's national language is NOT English, how fluent is your English compared to your country's language?

  • English is my third language.

    I'm dyslexic and socially awkward, so when it comes to speaking all three are pretty bad.

    Writing, reading, and listening (if I've got my glasses on) is easier, so also about the same, but better than speaking.

    I watch and read mostly English spoken media (at at least 1.5x on youtube and 1.33x when it comes to series and movies, so I'm fairly fluent, I suppose, though sometimes it's hard to find the right word or phrase (that's probably the dyslexia, though), and I'm quite certain I tend to accidentally mix English with whatever they speak in the US, since the majority of the media I consume tends to come from there.

    I'm fluent enough that it irks me when people mix “its” and “it's” or write “could of” or things like that, so there's that, I suppose.

    I also know what each of the words in the phrase “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo” means, if that counts for anything, but only because I looked it up the first time I came across it.

  • Playback speed past X2 is now a YouTube paid feature

  • Some lectures and instruction videos are only watchable at 4x or higher.

    Luckily there's extensions and alternative apps that provide a much better user experience than the default one, including being able to increase playback speed as much as you want.

  • relatively stable between the twelfth and the eighteenth century

    Hm... wasn't there like a 33% dip back in the fourteenth, not counting subsequent migration to the cities and whatnot..?

  • The home country of many (if not most) of their victims is the USA.

    Sure, ICE are inhumane nazi monsters, but extraditing them to that god forsaken shithole would evidently count as cruel and unusual, even for the likes of them.

    Not only that, but “justice” there is a tragic parody of itself; they'd inevitably end up back on the streets.

    Don't overcomplicate it. Just put them down like the rabid pigs they are, and then go for the even more monstrous bastards that sicced them on the streets.

  • It's quickly reaching the point where all the US will be able to export will be movies and television.

    Until Trump turns on Hollywood because they won't give him an honorary oscar, that is.

  • I don't mind sex scenes if they fit the characters and plot (and won't complain about seeing naked beautiful people anyway, as long as it's fine by them), but the awkwardly placed and just long enough to be creepy feet shots on Tarantino's films and the anime adaptation of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (of course the first episode of season two had to have one; seriously, Madhouse, what the actual fuck) start to get tiresome after a while...

  • For context, this was back when TVs were big boxes with a cathode-ray tube (a massive vacuum-“filled” glass bottle with the phosphorus-coated screen on the bottom and a literal particle accelerator on the top, put on its side, and powered with high voltage) inside.

    If you can manage to have sex on top of a low cupboard put on top of a table you could probably have sex on top of one of these (though you probably shouldn't, what with the glass, and vacuum, and high voltage, and whatnot), but falling off would probably be a common outcome.

    Doing it on top of a modern flat screen would require a much less believable amount of acrobatics.

  • ChatGPT is getting ads. Sam Altman once called them a 'last resort.'

    Jump

  • GenAI-made ads have famously received even more criticism than regular ones, though, so maybe they're not even good for that (even “there's no such thing as bad publicity” might not apply here, given that the common reaction seems to be to want to boycott the advertiser)...

    Injecting “seamless” ads into their results might work better, but people are usually quite fast to detect product placement in images, and would probably raise an outcry, and in LLM's case users would probably also notice, and the more pre-prompted the things are the more useless they seem to be... them suddenly talking about products and brands on every answer would probably drive even more users away.
