It is an approximation of intelligence. Literally a universal approximator trained on “intelligent” data. I can think of many applications where such a tool would be a brilliant fit but I swear tech companies are hell bent on cramming it into every single niche that it doesn’t belong.

Seconding this. It’s not incredibly common but it’s not incredibly uncommon. Research shows that most people who have it don’t notice it until it’s pointed out. Drugs and stress tend to exacerbate the effect as well.

That’s irrelevant to the fact that Israel is a real country with a government, citizens, and international recognition. Your argument applies equally to refusing to recognize the validity or existence of the United States of America, which should show you how ridiculous it is.

Here’s a quote from Wikipedia about the group that put out this article:

Roya TV is strongly anti-Zionist and, unlike the Jordanian government, does not recognize Israel as a real country. In written pieces, the network often puts Israel’s name in quotation marks, or refers to the entire country as “occupied Palestine”.

Unless there are alternate sources that verify the authenticity of this story, it should be assumed to be propaganda. They even do the quotation marks thing in this very headline.

I for one look forward to Planet X becoming Planet IX.

Hi Michael(?)

At least the starbursts make street lights pretty at night 🫠

Something basic like the Mass Effect series helps sell the idea that you really did form a fully fledged relationship over the course of the game. As for Cyberpunk, the setting is literally designed to be dripping with sexuality. It’s not necessary for the story itself, but if you removed all the sex ads the setting simply wouldn’t reach the same level of “megacorporations maximizing psychological exploitation techniques”.

Wait until you hear how closely related they are to cabbages

They succeeded in getting GTA5 pulled from the shelves of two of the largest physical distributors in Australia.

The simulation is intentionally choosing the most convoluted and incomprehensible content possible in order to try and stop us.

Because the second number has special rules and a unit. It’s not just a pair of numbers, though it can be represented through a pair of numbers (really helpful for computing).

No but there’s no law against expelling a state from the union. Kind of a reverse secession if you can piss trump off enough for him to actually do it (no law saying that only Congress can expel them, so it would go to the courts).

There are some rather stark differences between the old and new testament depictions of God. The only two ways to reconcile the differences imo are that either Jesus led a pretty standard major-religion-themed-psychedelic-“love”-cult or that the Gnostics were on to something about this reality being a prison created by a divine abomination and that Jesus was trying to save us from the OT “God”.

The smart oil producing countries have worked hard to diversify. Too bad they’re in the minority.

Only the certified organic servers are grown. Usually hydroponics are involved as the soil tends to jam the coolers. Sunlight is only necessary if they’re solar powered.

Supper is eaten from 4-6 while dinner is eaten from 5-7 in my experience. Dinner is usually a heavier meal than supper, as well.

Jell-O makes pudding mixes too. You use Mandarin oranges, whipped cream, and (usually vanilla) Jello pudding to make the dessert.

Because all the energy of every motion pulling the magnets apart and back together adds up to a net-0 amount of motion in either direction forward or backwards

With a J but rhyming it with life
