Surely the 50+ year long embargo preventing them from commerce and trade with half the world had absolutely no bearing on that whatsoever.

Corporate requirement from executives to use the AI they’re developing/paying for, without any regard to actual usefulness to the business.

Hell anyone who watched the show. They didn’t even have to work on it.

They avoid areas that are known to be well armed.

It’s also par for the course with recent Quantic Dream announcements.

The Kara tech demo was released March 2012 (over a year before the current game they were working on, Beyond: Two Souls released). And Detroit: Become Human gave us the corresponding game for Kara but didn’t release until May 2018. So that’s 6 years from announcement/introduction of a new game to it’s release.

Maybe that activist investor should be pushing them to leave the Russian market like competitors such as Coca Cola due to the invasion of Ukraine. Pepsi is actively increasing their market in the country and thereby helping fund the war with increased tax revenue.

Star Wars Eclipse was announced in 2021. It’s a Quantic Dream game, they usually take their time, deliver a polished release and don’t really talk about stuff until the release. I’d rather they take their time than release the shit everyone else does. That’s probably the worst example to use of Star Wars stuff being bad recently.

While true, Federal prosecutors historically don’t even bother with charges if they’re not sure of a conviction. This is just explicit evidence that this DOJ is both incompetent and focused on politics not justice.

Not just keep trying and failing, but doing so multiple times in just a couple months. This DOJ is run by incompetence.

Israel is doing everything it can to obfuscate the difference between zionist and being Jewish in general. They want to hide in the group and declare everything generally antisemitic. They want to hide in the mistaken belief that they can’t commit a genocide, because Holocaust. As if that was the only genocide on history, and it somehow gives them a free pass.

Her main crime appears to have been hosting and paying for a birthday party for Rahaf, a three-year-old Palestinian child who lost both legs to an Israeli bomb in the Gaza genocide.

Yup… She is definitely the bad person in all of this. For sure. A Jewish person paying for the birthday party for a Palestinian crippled by Israeli terrorists is definitely worthy of being targeted by some group of dipshits going by “StopAntisemitism”. The mental gymnastics at play here are spinning at the speed of light.

NATO was created to counter the Soviet Union, which collapsed over thirty years ago.

Meanwhile Russia is actively trying to rebuild the Soviet Union by invading neighboring countries and violating NATO airspace.

You couldn’t be a more blatant Russian asset if you started speaking only Russian and praising Putin himself.

Don’t know why. Even his wife stopped giving a fuck a couple weeks after.

It’s a start but doesn’t fully address the problem.

Eh, I’d say it addresses everything that matters.

The root of the problem was that deleting the account was an exploit to avoid limit admin research and further actions, and federation of content removal. That’s the only reason they were bothering to do it. The fix allows admins to research properly, and for federation of removal actions.

It doesn’t solve the root of the issue with bad actors, but that’s a much larger issue well beyond the scope of a couple bug fixes.

Animals haven’t been able to go war and prove that they can beat us. With the notable exception of The Australian Emu.

Not really… According to Pew Research Approximately 45% of Republicans report owning a gun, compared to about 20% of Democrats. Considering the parties are often roughly equally sized when it comes to these statistical models, that’s not actually a massive difference. There are plenty of armed Democrats, they’re just not vocal about wanting to worship their tools.

People claiming a personal relationship with the goddamn creator of the universe are hella conceited.

I’d say even prideful, you know one of the 7 deadly sins, often considered the worst of them and even the root/source of the other 6. The sheer hubris needed to believe you have a personal connection that others don’t is ridiculous.

Does the Louvre actively refuse all attempts to retrieve original works and tell the requestors the fuck off the way the British Museum does?

From my understanding that’s more of a British-specific problem, not most museums in general.

Yeah after the previous story, about 6 months later they came to upgrade basically the entire grid section in our area. We had a talk to the engineer and she had been able to use our section as justification for getting some sort of brand new and very expensive testing equipment.

Our neighborhood was built in the early 1960s. So at the time it was about 50 years old, and the electrical usage of homes then was vastly different than it is now. Unlike modern homes with power outlets every 6 feet or so on every wall, we have two outlets per room, if we’re lucky. She seemed very happy that we had pushed the issue because apparently that equipment had been requested for years before she finally had a real world justification that management would finally approve.

A power company willingly looking at increasing residential capacity or fixing issues that can’t be blamed on the homeowner? HA

We had a bad transformer that took 6 months of constant nagging before they would even send a tech out, and they still threatened to charge us for the visit. That guy turned white as a ghost when we told him the issues we were having and that the transformer was the one next to the neighbor’s massive nearly dead tree. The internal bars had melted and he said it could have exploded at any point, easily burning at least that neighbor’s house down, and probably a good chunk of the neighborhood since it was a dry desert climate.
