I will not praise the life of a white supremacist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic scumbag (among other things.)
And I will gladly speak ill of the dead if they deserved it.

AI crap aside, one of the things that irritates me about duolingo courses is how blatantly American they are.
"le football americain" is not "football". It's American Football.

There's so much like this that I often need to double translate when doing the course: French <-> English <-> American

I'm initially thinking S (FACE vs FACES), but that's Eric and the mask he based his make up on, and the other is a demon, so it's probably not that.
Hmm... now you have me trying to think of options.

If the Daily Mail doesn't hate me, I'm not trying hard enough.

And the people who also have the skill to survive without it will be the ones that succeed.
When that rocket ship runs out of fuel or breaks down, how do you get to your destination now?

I don't.
And the point remains: even when there are faster options available, having the skills to do it slower is always going to be a benefit.

And there will always be people who would rather take the slower path, for the sake of taking the path. The journey matters.

Because I get to choose the journey. I get to choose the passengers. I get to choose the entertainment.

Also, who do you think it in charge of the rocket ship?
With the amount ChatGPT hallucinates, I'd definitely not trust it in charge. Ever.

"The average American has fewer than 3 friends"
Well, I think this is very telling about Zuck himself, and he thinks himself average. Because I call absolute bullshit on that number.
And it highlights - to me - just how friendless the ultra rich are.

I've ranted about it on facebook in the past, I think... 😆
Some time ago, though.

They know they're on very shaky ground with the ruling, and _need_ people to stop kicking back, or it'll crumble.
They only 'won' (but don't call it a victory...) through underhand means, and forcing people into silence makes them also think their point is proved.
They are such vile people.

I've said it before (elsewhere), and I'll say it again: dodge and parry mechanics, as a crucial part to story based games' combat systems, are some of the worst things to have been introduced to gaming in recent years.

Someday, I shall source the entire series! (preferably Gatchaman with subtitles, but I shall be ok with BotP)

Battle of the Planets? (as it was known to us, back then)
Hell, that must have been mine too! I remember loving that show. Not that I remember anything about it - never found it since.

the ADHD medication that's so addictive, that most people I know on it end up with a surplus because they keep forgetting...

I am totally not on 3+ cans of monster a day, because I got fucked around with actual meds. 🫣

The one major complaint I have with Gatwa's Doctor is the complete lack of consistency in outfit.
Every episode he's wearing something totally different, which is just not a Doctor Who thing!

She just keeps shitting on the people who helped get her to where she is. All that is left in her is hate. And she deserves to rot in obscurity.

It's also probably very safe to assume he doesn't have a single person who could be classed as a friend.

Shut up and take my platinum!

I've never been a fan of April fool's that have the aim of mocking people, in any form.
Far too many are rooted in cruelty. Or are outright insensitive.

182 - The Barkley Marathon Do Go On · Episode

Not watch, but have you listened to the Do Go On podcast's episode about it? (comedy podcast)

neither? No muscle in them to be meat.
And they're not plant based to be fruit.

I guess the closest they could be like are egg whites?

Or when the same song is on a couple of different albums...

Make Fascists Scared Again

This is exactly what I've been wondering.
Because what the hell is it with people that want single things to do _everything_, when it should always be small things to do a small thing (or small number of things) really well!
The old Unix philosophy.

An interesting theory in the replies is the phasing out of leaded petrol started around the same time that it started to drop.
And it actually looks like there's proper scientific research being done on that being a possibility (lead-crime hypothesis)

Probably the only people who'd represent him

It's the Generative vs Analytic AI difference, as I've seen referenced in various places.

so is 'skeet' the term that's been decided for posts here, then?

cool. cool cool cool.

Language differences are wonderful.

I don't think I've ever seen AMAB/AFAB used in any way except to be exclusionary in some manner.
And often feels like a "yeah but what are you really?" question
