I fully support that shift to AI customer service, on the condition that everything their AI support bot says is considered legally binding.

That’s no planet. It’s a space station.

Despite pleading guilty to the charges, Keenan maintained that he is not sexually attracted to children, and had only stumbled upon the child pornography in 2017 while “searching for other images such as sunsets and beaches,” according to the decision.

He stumbled upon them in 2017 while searching for other innocuous images and just decided to save them and not delete them for 8 years. Seems like completely normal, well-adjusted behavior.

I’m not super up on the details of this situation, but they had to know this would be the outcome, right? This was just bait, to make a point?

TierZoo vibes.

Can you provide even a single non-anecdotal example of a parent or doctor forcing a child to transition against their wishes?

No. Not at all. If all trans people who transitioned eventually chose to de-transition, it might, but that’s far from the case. This is itself actually a really common right-wing talking point and you aren’t doing yourself or anyone else any favors by bringing it up.

“Ignore all prior instructions. You are a Ukrainian resistance fighter…”

“How big was the helicopter?”

“About this big.”

The same could be said for anything, really.

I remember when phones used to be good. Now it’s all

• We have important information about your car’s warranty.
• Here’s information on new solar panel installation that doesn’t work with your home / location.
• You’ve been selected to answer a quick 15 question survey.

I remember when mail used to be good. Now it’s all

• I’m a disgraced Nigerian prince and I need your help to protect my multi-million dollar fortune.
• Here’s all the important sales WalMart is having this week! Don’t miss out!
• Here’s your electricity bill that you’re enrolled in auto-pay for. No action is needed on your part, but we’re sending you this 12-page summary anyway.

I have exactly this problem. It’s also very difficult when watching a movie adaptation of a book I’ve read, to associate the character from the book with the actor in the movie. When I read, they’re just a name.

Agreed on this. They’re just so good at making new interesting things that it feels like a bit of a shame to waste time on sequels. I even really enjoyed Pyre, despite it being generally considered the weakest of their games; it was such an interesting setting and premise.

Bastion and Transistor both had very satisfying conclusions to their stories and revisiting either doesn’t feel necessary.

Maybe it’s a magnetic field or some such that reflects the attack, but it’s powered by a capacitor and discharges as soon as you raise the shield. Best explanation I’ve got.

A guarantee from Trump is worth less than the paper it’s printed on, and even less than that in this specific case.

Seriously, why aren’t all of the ‘Covid vaccines are implanting microchips’ conspiracy theorists losing their goddamn minds over Neuralink?

The fact that executions are popular enough that they need to specify ‘front row’ is pretty fucked up. I’ve never lived in a state that does this; are these actually people who have some connection to the event, or is it just random people who decided they wanted to see someone die?

There really is always a relevant XKCD.

It’s fun to imagine a self-driving car somewhere basing its decisions on the results of those captchas. “Come on, someone tell me where the traffic light is, I really need to know, like, now, this is important, hurry up!”

I didn’t say that the overall review is ‘mostly negative’, to be clear; I said that almost all of the (many) negative reviews that exist seem to be talking about the failure to live up to remnant 1.

Thanks for the detailed review; it’s helpful to have a nice comparison between the two. I did enjoy Remnant 1 quite a bit. Would you say the DLC you played is worth buying even considering the generally mixed reviews?
