The only marketing I don’t hate is handwritten signs by the gate to a farm with addendums like “manur: $free$”

Oh I agree, what I mean is that the similarities were barely even superficial. They were both hero shooters, but so are Apex Legends and Rainbow Six Seige, and you’d never compare them to Overwatch.

because it was superficially similar to Overwatch it absolutely bombed.

Sort of, the real issue was it had no advertising of its own, just Randy Pitchford synergising buzzwordsalad on twitter and trying to create a rivalry with Overwatch. Nobody really knew what it was supposed to be from advertising, because nobody thought to just say “FPS MOBA”.

To my knowledge she got away without any real consequences - last I heard she had the same position at one of the competitors.

One time I got back from annual leave only to find out that my job had been done away with by the board over a year beforehand and my manager had spent the last year submitting fake timesheets claiming I was working a different position, so I could do the parts of her job that the assistant manager wasn’t already doing. The company had assumed I knew about it as they couldn’t get in contact with me when they discovered it and came down on the manager (my job was only the beginning of her fraud), but I was in the middle of nowhere and had no signal, so the first I heard about it was when I walked into the office and one of my coworkers went “what are you doing here?”.

OK, I suppose I see what you’re saying, but I think headlines like this are important to shaping people’s understanding of AI, rather than being dismissive - highlighting that, like with neuroscience, we are still thoroughly in the research phase rather than having end products to send to market.

If you don’t understand how your algorithm is reaching its outputs, you obviously don’t understand the algorithm. Knowing what you’ve made is different to understanding what it does.

Really accurate tape measure.

The alternative is sitting down, having a talk, drinking some tea and talking about our differences.

You really don’t understand that the things you say have meanings, do you?

You literally talk in your other reply about how you’ll join them. You can’t just sit down and talk about how they want to kill the jews and you don’t - your willingness to hear them out inherently legitimises their ideas as being reasonable and able to be reasoned about.

I know you don’t fully understand how the way that you say something can be as informative as what you actually say, but I don’t need to assume - you did actually tell me in your comment that you don’t really mind nazis as long as they’re not being violent towards you.

US banks won’t even issue chip and pin cards because their customers would find entering a 4 number code too arduous and complicated.

Ok, but it’s what telegram has. So would you rather keep your “free” speech and put others in danger, or lose it to keep others safe?

Just Google the paradox of tolerance. It’s really not as complicated as you’re making it out to be.

Also, punching Nazis is always morally correct. If you wouldn’t attack a nazi because they’re not currently threatening you specifically then you won’t develop any additional moral prerogative in time of civil war - you’ll join them, because they’re still not threatening you specifically, while fair and equal redistribution of resources will effect you. You don’t have any sort of morality or ideology underlying your objection, you just think extreme things are bad because you’re not given a choice.

Are you sure they’re not saying “you’re whale cum”, because that’s what I do.

Gonna change your question to “dog”, as that’s what I have

1. I would choose basically any other life over my worst enemy’s. In a choice between them and no one, I’d save no one. I feel you don’t understand how emnity works.
2. Better question, dog,
3. because he’s a member of my family that I’m responsible for. As annoying as his theivery is and as bad as his farts are, he’s my friend. Would you choose a stranger over one of your friends?

BBC Radio 6 Music has a lot of obscure stuff, especially the DJs like Iggy Pop and Craig Charles.

Edit: also, go to a local open mic night, find someone whose music you like, and make friends with them. They’ll have loads of obscure recommendations for you.

I should point out on the energy front that while they’re building more fossil fuel plants, they’re decommissioning older, less efficient ones, and building nuclear reactors to take over long term. Coal plants only take a few years to build compared to nuclear plants 20+, so there isn’t actually much better they can do while meeting their (and as you point out, the west’s) energy needs.

What’s wrong with reading a book, writing poetry or a novel, exercising, playing with the smartphone…

Ask your manager. They’ll probably say something like “it looks untidy”.

>fights off 5 ringwraiths while protecting a gang of hobbits
>kills like a hundred magically engineered supersoldiers so hobbits can cross a river
>kills an unreasonable number more at Helm’s Deep
>beats up an actual ghost
>just one of those supersoldiers could easily kill like 10 regular humans, but here he is again just mowing them down
>charges the entirety of mordor on foot: survives

But yeah, I’m sure the regular human of above average skill will be fine.

I hope you’re right, but I’ve seen a bunch of this “slavery is for African Americans” rhetoric recently and I’m not sure if it’s ignorance or maliciousness.
