Ugh. I hate this timeline.

My 8bitdo story, back when they’re we’re just starting to put joysticks on their SNES style controllers, I used mine to the point that the joysticks were falling apart. I sent them a support email, and even though it wasn’t covered by any warranty or anything, a very nice Chinese person working there sent me a spare set of joysticks in the mail, plus words of encouragement (in somewhat broken English) since I wasn’t shy about fixing the thing myself.

Can’t imagine that today, but it was a nice gesture and I’m glad they’re still making stuff today.

Note: home studio is a fancy way to say a tablet attached to your day job computer… likely in a studio apartment.

The train headed for the Mystic Ruins will be departing soon.

I still find it funny it thinks my 3 year old is interested in solar panels.

The more concerning one was a divorce lawyer for fathers. That shit wasn’t even on my account or my computer, it just assumed daytime watching of kids stuff means a guys going through a divorce, lol.

There can be multiple factors, we call it intersectionality. You’re feeling unsafe because of social class or nationality or another factor. That does not mean you do not benefit from being male in a world ultimately built around men. That’s why people use the term privilege, since you have at least one advantage (others could include health, straightness, etc). And fortunately it’s less of an advantage today than it was a hundred years ago.

And that’s not to say life is perfect under that category-- I literally just mentioned some men’s issues. I’m just not exactly worried about someone stalking or kidnapping me over it.

Also AI is still worse than a human on things like essay writing. Why do I know? Cause I just finished grading midterms!

This is the kind of comment I love on Lemmy.

I think the point is that people who say (shout) “Not All Men” are usually frustratingly insensitive and the thought of throwing them into a snake pit is fun. We know it’s not all men, we aren’t stupid, but we also know that even 1% would be one percent too many to feel safe alone with a stranger (and, unfortunately, statistics suggest harassment is certainly more than 1%!).

Well, most people aren’t that stupid. There’s a few who are, but I don’t think they’d be posting here, lol.

That said, reading the comments, I get why some are offended even though being male is the privileged class in this comparison (after all, I don’t feel afraid to walk home at 1am). Men are fucked by the patriarchy, told to repress their emotions, degrade people who break from masculinity, and so forth. But instead of saying “you’re being sexist against men,” please try to think of the systemic problems that led to that X% of assholes who make it unsafe for a woman (or POC, LGBTQ, etc) to walk alone on a street in America.

I heard about this from my wife (who is Japanese), and it’s mostly a bad harvest along with few secondary reasons. If you’re like me and thought it’s the USs fault, it probably isn’t helping with trade but Japan can still very much import rice from the US. Korea just makes more sense right now, probably.

In fact, ironically, tarrifs might actually help-- less US demand for Japanese rice means very slight increase in domestic supply. But it’s likely not a lot.

My raid group has been together close to 10 years and this is basically how it is when we’re grinding out gear. Like, just this week a guy went through a bad breakup and we’re trying to cheer him up while also lightly roasting him as one does.

Yes, I was about to say the same thing until I saw your comment. I had a little bit of success learning a few tricks with o3 but trying to use o4 is a tremendous headache for coding.

There might be some utility in dialing it all back so it’s more straight to what I need based more on package documentation than random redditor suggestion amalgamation.

Also with Wiimote support, which was a better experience imo.

Yup. It gets even more complex depending on the tasks qualities, like if it’s a one-answer solution (e g. math) or a more open ended one (e.g. policy). Also, other disciplines argue you should also have a diverse group to better represent stakeholders, an especially important part of business and politics.

There is enough social psychology​ research to suggest that most of the time people are more efficient alone than in a group, although some tasks take more than one person. Process gain vs process loss, social loafing, groupthink, etc., if you put four people on a team you might get 200%, not 400% return, or worse.

Interesting, for complex tasks that require thought, the most efficient grouping tends to involve groups with diverse backgrounds and a work culture that values disagreement… which is basically the opposite of what’s going on in American government right now, lol.

Yup. And I’m familiar with other countries, especially ties to Japan who did not raise rates for a long time and felt it. Yet most people just don’t understand that.

Yeah, like I said it’s mostly optics because a reasonable person should know this isn’t ok in general, but the common voter isn’t reasonable. At least that’s how I interpret it. Thanks for bringing up the specific number, too.

Correct, although I imagine they don’t want to risk the optics of coming to the rescue of everyone only to find out after a court case that at least one of those people were actually guilty, even though you’d have saved hundreds from wrongful imprisonment and stood up for the constitution.

Voters are just too dumb, I guess.

I know in the US that bottom surgery generally doesn’t happen under 18, and the same is true in Canada, no? It’s always just for show, although I guess we can’t assume anyone in the government actually pays attention to statistics.
