Seems about right. Feels like I haven’t played GTA for a decade.

Every now and then internet reminds me it’s a thing, though.

So are they protesting them because immigration at the current conditions is causing issues? Or is it just the usual, “I hate their culture” rhetoric? It seems like the latter, and that’s something immigration policies will never look at, so seems a pointless protest.

But the rhetoric worked in the US and now their cripplingly low unemployment rate is getting even lower, offset by businesses shutting down. While the Presidents plans for a boost to domestic manufacturing is short by about 50 million people because they were just never there to begin with.

Actually, this also seems like a kind of Britain thing to do, to be honest.

And then we’ll lynch then for good measure

“kill” and “fuck”

There’s also stoic bros now. Their brains have managed to connect alpha masculinity to stoicism. They’re like the viking bros where they gain security from people seeing them as enduring, dependable, and tough. They obviously have no idea of the philosophy in detail.

I live life by recognising three things we all share in common…

1. We had no say in being born
2. We had no say in what vessel we’d get to live in
3. We had no say in the conditions we’d be born into

Anyone that can’t acknowledge this has long since been able to acknowledge themselves. They are so lost that they will never find happiness.

I think you just discovered why they’re unionising so hard.

Microsoft: Don’t worry, Blizzard. We can quash a union attempt. There’s only like 100 of them, tops…

Blizzard: There’s 650.

Microsoft: _spits drink _. For this shit!?

Have you considered some kids weren’t interested in video games?

Have you considered some kids were blind?

Have you considered some kids are dead now?

Have you considered some kids weren’t allowed games?

Have you considered some kids didn’t know English or Japanese?

Have you considered some kids didn’t care for Pokemon to know anything about it?

Have you considered these things were banned in some countries?

Have you considered some kids had no hands?

Have you considered you make comments on the internet for no reason other than to devalue others?

Have you considered why you’d even do that?

Have you considered some kids weren’t in the intended market?

Have you considered some kids had different peer cultures?

Have you considered some kids had religious boundaries?

Have you considered a single word OP had said?

Genuinely forgot this game existed. I was over it before COVID lockdowns.

Toaster is good. We’ve used that for years and it’s memed hard. Its origin is toward AI and physical robots. Even though it’s a slur based on the first model Cylon having a toaster face, it implies robots are simple and they generate ridiculous amounts of heat to do a simple task.

We don’t need to reinvent the wheel here just because someone had a viral video on TikTok. Clanker sounds so dumb too. Especially for protocol bots that have no moving parts beyond data centre fans and pumps.

I assume the article covers that.

It’s more like comparing a review of Chapter 1 to a book report.

We know a computer is faster at things. It relies on that to perform iterations, overcoming the core shortfall of actual intelligence. Whereas the ideas a human gets are established almost instantly, especially with experience, but they perform slower.

Literally, this is the “development” in software development.

It does feel that way. UK bureaucracy is just one giant guinea pig stunting it’s own commonwealth.

Next someone will try enforcing paper umbrellas as a solution for climate action. We’ll all say, “That won’t work”. They’ll still do it; it won’t work. We’ll say, “We told you so”, and it won’t get reversed because they’re already aiming at the next foot to shoot.

I like it boring. I get to customise a blank slate how I want. I really rather not have things in my life that are by someone else’s interpretation of “good” design. Ending up with more shit like my Dyson, or a modem trying to be the centrepiece of the living area…

When I was competing in climbing I knew I’d do well and just wanted to have fun. I didn’t think about others beyond seeing if I’m friends with anyone in my next group.

This has been the case in everything I’ve competed in. Never noticed anyone stressed, just really focused.

You’re pro-semetic, since Palestinians are also from Semetic culture. Arabs are the largest ethnic group within it.

there is no medical benefit, it can only come back to hurt you.

This is the modern day mantra of data. If it isn’t fundamentally required, then don’t give it. There’s no “just 'cause” when it comes to collecting info. And once info is given, you have zero control over it, no matter how many pinky promises or guarantees of governance are given, it’s immediately out of your control.

I explore a lot and have been to and lived in a lot of places and prefer it that way. Might be from all the moving around growing up. There’s towns that feel familiar with me, but not what I think people mean when they say “hometown”.

I get something with a handful of little locations though, like certain bars, mountains, surf spots, etc. When I get to see one again, it has the same emotion as seeing a dear old friend after a long time. Lots of peace and good memories rush in.

About 1,500 km. Nope, there is places I grew up and places I’ve been. There’s no “hometown”.
