Honestly, not a bad idea. A lot of people who should be divorced aren’t because they feel they’ve invested too much into it. People outside of that can see more clearly.

Yes, but not mouse movements. It’ll be things like then clicking on videos and page views. That can be automated easily.

Sure, but I don’t know how they’d get that data. Every tap likely isn’t stored. Still, I could write a script to fake it, and build a device to to it. It’s evidence, but it isn’t particularly strong.

Here’s what I think, though IANAL:

Youre phone being somewhere unusual is pretty good evidence you were there, especially if a crime happened there. What are the odds you gave your phone to someone to go commit a crime with it on them?

However, if you’re planning on committing a crime, it’s wouldn’t be that difficult to have it play videos while you’re out doing said crime. It’s evidence that something happened, but it isn’t very strong evidence that you didn’t commit the crime.

However, a criminal trial requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt. You don’t need to prove that you’re innocent. You just need to create enough doubt that you’re guilty. It’s the prosecution that has to prove that you’re guilty.

I’ve lived along a lot of the east coast, south of DC. Yeah, that’s southern mostly, but I would say fried fish is not only a southern thing. Hell, it’s a British thing too. Fried chicken, and everything else, is southern, but I’ve seen fried fish all over, wherever fish is common.

I don’t know if I’d call it the American style, but it’s common. The issue is America is a bunch of states. It’s like if you tried to combine all the states in the EU to one style.

I think fried is becoming less common in the US though. It definitely isn’t my preference, and I think that’s increasingly true as time goes on.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon turns on raytracing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The issues come if you know how they’re faking them. Sure, SSR can look good sometimes, but if you know what it is it becomes really obvious. Meanwhile raytraced reflections can look great always, with the cost of performance usually. It’s sometimes worth it, especially when done intelligently.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨make fantasy great again!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

And I’d do it again you fucking neckbeard. I don’t owe you shit. Don’t start a conversation trying to be a know it all douche and you wouldnt get treated like a know it all douche.

What the fuck are you doing? Don’t be an asshole and you won’t be treated like an asshole. I posted a comment and you just go off the rails insulting me. What’s wrong with you?

Now, you have 2 choices: you can stay here and keep responding and prove you’re a retarded troll…

Or you can fuck off. I think I already made it pretty clear that I value your opinion lower than pond scum, so what are you hoping to accomplish?

You have the same choices. You clearly do value my opinion or it wouldn’t have upset you so much. You’ve sent several responses, and even a PM, to insult me. I’m not bothered, but clearly you care. Maybe try to figure out why and work on yourself. You can be healthier.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨make fantasy great again!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I’m not the one who started insulting people. “Read the room.”
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨make fantasy great again!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Sure, but you adding a comment which you admit was wrong and just AI slop didn’t help anything. If you’re trying to find niche information, AI probably won’t work. It doesn’t matter the resources it has. It isn’t thinking. It just pulls things that have the most relevancy, which will by definition be things that are more common, not accurate. It’ll help you find popular titles, but not niche ones with very little written on them.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨make fantasy great again!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Yeah, so “AI” is just text prediction. It won’t give you results that haven’t been talked about a lot (accurate or otherwise). It’s not actually using intelligence and trying to find the answer, so it’s useless for something like this.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blurble⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I know I heard about a group in Africa (IIRC) where they have a lot more words for greens, but they don’t have a word for blue, or something like that. When given a test to identify the odd color out, when it’s a very slight tint change of green they identify it quickly, but most westerners take a lot longer. When all of them are green, but then there’s a blue one, they take a long time, but westerners see it instantly.

It’s why IQ tests are fundamentally flawed. Just our launguage can shape our recognition of the world. Imagine how much the rest of our culture, education, and surroundings influence us. None of these make us better or smarter than anyone else, yet they’ll all make us better or worse at different things. They’re all valuable, and it’s part of why diversity, equity, and inclusion are so important. These different points of view can bring so much value to us

Everything is a math problem. It just needs to be written in the proper form.

Yeah, except he thinks this is a gang instead of just what happens when people respect each other in society and work together.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
While you’re correct, the “specific wavelength” images still seem like cheating. Sure, purple would be pretty hard otherwise (and that purple color is a typical false color for nebulas, while the sun one is not typical for most people to see), the cyan shouldn’t be hard to do. There’s plenty of satalite pictures of earth with the right color, or the atmosphere. Maybe they don’t want too many earth pictures, but they could ditch the white clouds for Pluto or something. White is easy. Green would be harder to replace.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people say "I wouldn't want a government to dictate what I eat"? This would mean they'd be against food safety regulations, would it not?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Banning the ability to legally make a choice is effectively the same thing as banning the choice itself. It doesn’t matter if you’re legally allowed to consume something if it’s illegal to obtain it.

For example, I’m in VA. When Democrats last had power they legalized possession of Marijuana, and created a path towards establishing legal vendors. When Republicans took over, despite saying they wouldn’t do this, they removed the path to create vendors, so it’s illegal to purchase. It is technically still legal to grow it, but that’s the only legal option, and it isn’t an option for most people. In effect, it’s almost as illegal as it was before.

No, the other person showed up at a post about the death of an artist just to turn it into an anti-America post instead of being about the artist.

Yes, the US has issues, but as the other comment says there’s some good there too. I don’t see why the comment above decided to move the comments in this direction, but it’s not the comment you’re responding to’s fault.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Activision Quietly Force Adverts into Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone Loadouts and Players Absolutely Hate It: 'At This Point It Really Feels Like Opening Up a Mobile Game'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I’ve been really enjoying The Finals for a while now. It’s fantastic and actually innovative.

ARC Raiders is coming out very soon if you want a really good extraction shooter. There’s also Gray Zone, Escape from Tarkov, Hunt: Showdown, and many others in this genre, all with different twists.

ArmA Reforger I just started playing recently (I own all the other ArmA games but I was waiting on this, since it’s still a work in progress, as are all modern games now though it seems). It’s a platform, like all ArmA games, where you can play anything from the default Conflict game mode, where two teams fight over a map in a war that can last multiple days sometimes, or a new version of a DayZ style, or ArmA Life (basically GTA Roleplay, but it’s existed in ArmA much longer), or so much else.

There’s a ton of games out there. You’ve listed several genres, but all of them with massive budgets. The best games, in my opinion, aren’t these. It’s the smaller/indie games that are willing to try something new, but you have to look for them. There’s been a bunch of civ-likes recently, there’s tons of BRs and Extraction shooter style games (Zero Sievert is a cool solo extraction shooter, for example).

Don’t just stick to the shiny games with big marketing budgets. Go find some gems in the rough and you’ll be greatly rewarded.

I think it’s coming to Steam with 1.0 soon.

They did years ago when PUBG was new. It hasn’t been updated for CS2 I’m pretty sure, so you can’t easily play it anymore.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon misses the classic design⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
That’s probably partly why the new modular grenade is a cylinder, but that’s worse for a frag grenade.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon misses the classic design⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

Grenades are mostly used at closer and more hectic ranges, so it’s often much faster to just throw it instead of having to prepare some sort of implement to increase range.

Hand grenades, sure. There’s a reason we have grenade launchers though. They can fire several hundred meters. With that said, is there really a need for a sling? I could see gorilla forces making good use of them, as they’d be silent, cheap, portable, and a lot easier to hide. Conventional forces have no need though because either you’re close enough for a hand grenade (there are different types, some are thrown further and some not), or you have grenade launchers available to hit the further away.

Note, this says “connotations of low social status.” The “urban black” culture usually has this same connotation. It isn’t a rule that people from either of these groups have low social status, it’s just associated with it. This is not racist, though the association could be viewed as problematic, but that is a cultural issue, not an issue with what the user above said.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After parting ways with EA, WRC (Dirt Rally) gets new home and six-year deal to "reboot" rally series⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
We’ll never get the same thing, but I’m always hopeful that some of the people have the knowledge, resources, and desire to spin up new studios at least, where they can make the games they’ve always wanted to make but weren’t allowed to. Certainly they won’t all end up at the same place, and only a few with this studio, but their experience now gets spread to new places outside of EA where I think we can expect better things.

We’ll have to wait and see. Hopefully we get cool indie experiences, like The Art of Rally, as well as more expensive projects, like whatever the WRC game becomes.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After parting ways with EA, WRC (Dirt Rally) gets new home and six-year deal to "reboot" rally series⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Yeah, it’s not likely to happen, but still EA wasn’t making good use of them. I always hate to see layoffs, but making people with knowledge available, especially when other studios end up with a demand for them, is good. I’m sure they won’t pick up the entire team, but I’d be surprised if some of them don’t end up there.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After parting ways with EA, WRC (Dirt Rally) gets new home and six-year deal to "reboot" rally series⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
But isn’t that a good thing for this? It means the old Codemasters team is no longer at EA, and maybe they’ll find a job here now.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sometimes when it's quiet I sit on the shower floor⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Yeah, there’s never been a total abolishion of kink shaming. I’m very tolerant of people doing what they want, but there was one person I knew who said they were into necrophilia, which I really don’t trust to be handled in a safe manner and they liked a female friend of mine. Pedophilia has also never really been accepted, and whatever the fuck this thing is shouldn’t either.

Now, I don’t support treating these people as evil just because their brain works like that. I think that’s wrong. I think they should be seeking help to change the way they think though.

Maybe, though processes and algorithms won’t be copied easily legally. If they did some special coating to lenses or something, or if they have a really smart algorithm to correct for different effects, those are protected by law. You can examine it and try to replicate it, but you can’t copy it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨10 to 100 Times Faster than a Starlink Antenna, and Cheaper Than Fiber: Taara Unveils a Laser Internet That Could Shatter the Status Quo⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Well, most likely they’ll never say what they did to solve it, assuming it is solved. That’s how capitalism works. Everyone tries to keep innovation secret, so we have to invent the same thing dozens of times.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon can't go on a field trip⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
IIRC McGonagall does say something similar in the book. The movie just leaves it out. Harry asks if she could sign it, and she says something along the lines that she can’t, because she’s not his guardian, and she also wouldn’t anyway because she doesn’t think he should leave the grounds.

Honestly, it goes with the poor writing that she says it too. She really hammers in the point that he’s supposed to be scared of Black, because she doesn’t trust the reader to remember it for the twist I guess.
