Your cover is blown, Junior Agent Xorblorg! Return to the mothership IMMEDIATELY or risk being permanently marooned in this Nyarlathotep-forsaken solar system!

I don’t have a car either, not even a license. There are still cars all around me and most likely you as well.

Very true.

The difference is that we all come into contact with and have to deal with cars on some level whereas in case of a niche hobby people may not even know it exists. Cars are such a central part of modern life that it feels weird that some people seem to have occult insight into it that others lack. It’s both a niche hobby and not niche at all at the same time, in a way.

Even “sedan” is pushing it. Car, big car, unnecessarily big car, dumpster fire.

Oh no, not the dirth rates.

That explains handegg.

His only possible thinkable motivation for revenge is when a thing to put a dick in is murdered. That is a kind of “caring”.

By what?

Also, that would be motivation to pass bad budgets that nobody agrees on.

Because OP is VERY well known round these parts and posts variations of this and 5 other posts every day, hoping that someday someone will say “Yes! Grimreaper, you are SO right in EVERYTHING you say and anyone who says you’re wrong, who even dares to want to discuss things with you, is WRONG and doesn’t know what they’re talking about and should honestly just shut the fuck up because HOW DARE THEY.” Check the history.

German Pokemon translation is absolute peak. I used to want to work as a translator and doing the Pokemon translation or even just assisting the translators would’ve been the fulfilment of all my dreams.

(SCHNEPPKE OMG)

The German word “fatal” doesn’t mean the same as English “fatal”. It’s more “disastrous” or " awkward" than “deadly”, closer to “fate” than “death”.

Southwestern Germany, yep :) We called it Hexennacht, Witches’ Night, which is of course the same as Walpurgisnacht. The necktie cutting as I know it is a Karneval thing, specifically the Thursday before Karneval, called Weiberfasnacht (“Wives’/women’s carnival”). Though I wouldn’t be surprised if there were heathens somewhere cutting neckties on some other day ;D

Your two scenarios really don’t have a lot in common. In one of them, the phone doesn’t do what the maker promised which of course annoys people. In the other, people can make active, conscious choices which people like. The part where images are changed is incidental.

Has this happened multiple times? What else did the post contain? I can easily believe reddit not wanting Lemmy mentioned since it’s direct competition. I can’t think of a reason for YT to do the same, tbh.

I hear they like liquor confectionery.

I cannot express how much I hate the triangles. I shouldn’t because they’re about the only genuine thing about it but they’re also a symptom of the larger issue and I just can’t even with all this.

Yes it is AI. Parallel lines are not an indication for non-AI. Just look at the teeth that were added in by hand because they couldn’t get the AI to do it. Fingers are still wonky. There were probably meant to be 5 blue data streams, one from each of the 5 people down to the 5 companies instead of two and two partial streams (?) but again, they couldn’t get the AI to do that. But this is close enough to what they actually wanted so they said it’s fine, thereby letting the AI compromise their message. Brilliant.

You say it’s “very accurate” - no it’s not. You think it’s accurate because, as a member of modern global culture, you recognise the concepts it threw together so you’re able to extrapolate what it is TRYING to say. The concept is valid but it’s so poorly executed that at any closer look it falls apart. Which is always the case with AI: it’s close enough to what it wants to be, close enough to express existing concepts so that everybody gets the gist of it if they squint (or scroll just slightly too fast). Don’t let them get away with it, it’s the death of critical thinking and creativity.

Where I’m from we just did the “trick” part. Ran around in dark clothing on 30th April* in the late evening, fairly distributing toilet paper if we were unimaginative, and painting cows violet if we were more creative. General mischief, is what I’m saying, none of that bargaining for sweets, your house is going to be TP’ed and you’ll like it because the alternative might be actual property damage.

* I… think that was the date. It’s been a while and I don’t live there anymore.
