I have exactly one game and exactly one 2fa app that I would meaningfully miss out on switching to a dumb pbone, outside of those two things I would genuinely consider it.

Were this reddit I would be highly tempted to give that some gold.

Porn is different for many reasons, chief among them being that the age verification laws don’t actually keep kids from accessing it. On top of that, porn is something that most people are embarrassed about accessing for a wide variety of reasons, and for them any requirement that they make available proof that they did so is equivalent to a legal ban on accessing that perfectly legal material.

Also I’m pretty sure this is the wrong community to be having this conversation.

Wtf are you talking about, apple is nowhere close to 100% market share no matter how much they wish they were, and FOSS alternatives are sufficiently difficult to install that the vast majory of consumers haven’t bothered.

On top of my suspicion that your mental image of “cities” is just downtown Manhattan, which not all cities and certainly not all parts of any city are like, the fact that you mentioned having a 10 minute commute says to me that you definitely don’t live in a rural location. Simply living in a suburb does not mean you are living in the country, and there has been research done that people are much more likely to think they live in a rural location when they very much don’t if they live in a suburb of a much more dense city.

Cis effectively means not-transgender, so born as exacly the same gender you identify as. ‘Het’ then means heterosexual, making cis-het someone who is either completely male and into women or completely female and into men.

Volume of requests and power consumption requirements unrelated to requests made, at least I have to assume. Certainly doesn’t help that google has forced me to make a request to their ai every time I run a standard search.

Cool, now how much power was consumed before even a single prompt was ran in training that model, and how much power is consumed on an ongoing basis adding new data to those AI models even without user prompts. Also how much power was consumed with each query before AI was shoved down our throats, and how many prompts does an average user make per day?

It was a thing on 7 as well.

To answer the fifth point, evangelicals aren’t Catholics, they either don’t care about or actively dislike the pope.

Something being a joke means it’s [insert negative attribute] enough to be laughable, but it being a bad joke mean it’s [insert negative attribute] but not enough to be funny.

The risk is that some unknown hacker discovered this vulnerability and abused it before the researchers discovered and reported it. It sounds like the company has confirmed that didn’t happen, but they aren’t 100% trustworthy in that regard, simply because they might have missed something.

The idea of it being numbered is that you are given your number when you vote to check against later, but nobody else is given that number so they can’t tie the vote to you.

Had to look up what a ute was, for any Americans it’s a pickup truck. And I was going to say the exact same thing, judging people for having a spotless pickup.

The following post will meander a bit as I wrote it in a kind of stream of consciousness state.

I don’t know where you heard that Super Metroid was originally a remake of the NES game, I’d never heard that and I can’t find anything to back that up. As well, keep in mind that Super Metroid came out a full decade before Zero Mission did, and the original NES game that Zero Mission is a remake of was even lighter on story than Super is. If you aren’t enjoying Super because of a lack of story that’s fine, you won’t miss much if you skip it, though I will warn you that a very common complaint about fusion is that until basically the very end the game is extremely linear. That said, I also think it’s unfair to call Zero Mission an asset flip, it’s much more a full on remake. Back to the Super Metroid thing, I will point out that the Wrecked Ship in Super Metroid is mostly not the Wrecked Ship you traverse in Zero Mission, there’s like one screen that is shared between the two games.

I mean, I for one consider the innevitability of burn in to be enough of a problem that the lack of an OLED screen is an upside honestly.

Looks like it’s not an issue fortunately.

Aida said the new material is as strong as petroleum-based plastics but breaks down into its original components when exposed to salt. Those components can then be further processed by naturally occurring bacteria, thereby avoiding generating microplastics that can harm aquatic life and enter the food chain.

That whole thing just sounds like a much more stupid version of ERIC, which notably Louisiana withdrew from a few years ago.

The Wii U sold poorly for many of the same reasons I expect the Switch 2 is likely to sell poorly. That is a price increase, not great marketing as far as I can tell, and it being possibly too similar to its predecessor. On the other hand, at least the switch 2 does seem to have a better lineup of launch titles than the Wii U did.

Hooray, I’m glad my thought process for initial steps was correct. If you don’t mind me asking, my thought process for the recommendation of canvasing as opposed to something like flyers is that doing so would make you and your efforts come across as more human and genuine, especially if part of the pitch was that Comcast was astroturfing, do you know if that’s something that actually works?
