No thank you, not interested. I’ve wasted too much time giving the benefit of the doubt to people after they misattribute such decisions. It never leads to anything worthwhile.

Unfortunately I can’t take you seriously if you really think this:
Are you telling me the people behind the decision to ban certain mods due to bigotry were holding a stance of “we are more than happy for you to publish your content, just not here for completely unrelated reasons” or are we being serious and we accept the fact that the stance is an explicit “these mods should not exist and we don’t want any part of them”?
The “people behind the decision” are business people who were worried about ad revenue due to being associated with such mods. These people don’t give a fuck about the mod being available anywhere else as long as it doesn’t negatively affect their own bottom line. So yes, I’m telling you exactly that.

The limits of the countries where the businesses operate, and any ethical and moral limits the people behind the company see?
Come on, at least give arguments instead of asking questions with obvious answers.

But there are realistically always some rules on what kinds of hosted content is allowed on a page. Open racism/transphobia are, I’m guessing, not allowed. Why is this a step too far compared to other cases that go beyond legal limits?
It’s also important to note that 1) they weren’t barred from publishing the mod, and 2) they’re totally okay with using said tool in lots of cases where it was never used before - why would they suddenly care about it?

I’m sorry! I’m so sorry for what I’ve done to the ice cream machine. PLEASE nobody eat out of it until you’ve cleaned the nozzles.
The janitor knows how.

Those guys were probably actual magicians, cause I tried their Currywurst ice cream: delicious. Döner: really good. Even fucking Gorgonzola was amazing, and that should not be possible!

Aw. I hope they at least feel really swole, so they get something out of it

If I could pick one of each utensil from each set, I’d buy them in a heartbeat. It would be really interesting to see people choosing different utensils for different meals, I bet those choices would correlate with personality traits!

One ice cream place had bunch of awesome vegan variants, so I can confirm that they are definitely worth trying!
Unrelated, but a different place once had Gin-Tonic ice. To this day I can’t get the flavor out of my head, it was so good. But how tf do you make that :|

They’re actively burning it down. The website often has issues while navigating etc. (while logged in), I frequently have to refresh after clicking on a link because it still isn’t loaded 10s+ later, or because issues/PRs search just won’t load results. The uptime is terrible, if you’re using multiple of their systems they don’t even hit 99% every month anymore.

I’m sorry to have to break this to you, but if you’re moving at relativistic speeds, the space between you and objects in your direction of travel does indeed shrink! It’s one of the freakier parts of relativity.

Can you link what you’re talking about? Because I’m not aware of any animation system that’s purely mathematically derived AND that can generate aesthetically pleasing animations for arbitrary body shapes.
There are certain techniques like Inverse Kinematics that might vaguely fit your description, but that’s a tiny piece of the puzzle - it might get you 5-10% of the way, but given arbitrary body shapes it’s gonna look horrible in most cases, and it doesn’t give you actual animations since you’d still need to purposefully move the creature’s extremities.

I love the movement etc. in Prototype 2! 100%ed it more than once, it’s just too fun. Surely we’ll get the sequel any day now 🥲
- Comment on The Matrix 3 months ago:
But that would drastically change the message, no? People should choose to leave the Matrix because the reward is living in reality, even if it’s harder and there’s no other reward.
- Comment on The Matrix 3 months ago:
Hm, I think it does make the message stronger. If a single event (development of sentient machines) leads to our downfall, it’s easy to shrug it off as “bad luck”, because who could have foreseen it back then?
But if we had multiple chances to correct course and we kept fucking up, it removes any doubt that it’s a human flaw, which means “humanity must reflect and change, or this is the inevitable conclusion”.
- Comment on Missed call 3 months ago:
I used to not get any as well. Then for a new job I had to sign up with an American company, and since I didn’t have a company phone yet, I used my private number.
Since then it’s been multiple calls/messages per day, but over the years it’s died down. I fucking hate it so much.
