Why do you know that data

This is https://trends.google.com/ which shows the usage of certain search terms

The term “kismet” is graphed in the image with a sharp increase in usage around the release of Life of a Showgirl

I also think that even if you were a “filthy both-siding liberal nazi-enabler” the only way to convince anyone of anything is to convince them. Violence and hateful rhetoric has never convinced a single human, except by coercion and fear. And a Nazi living in fear is still a Nazi.

I want to rid the world of extremist and hateful views by convincing them that their viewpoints are incorrect, not stifling them into hibernation.

I’ve found it’s less toxic if you agree with everyone

But if you were to log into Lemmy as a conservative or pro capitalist I think the toxicity would ratchet up instantly, even if you tried to discuss in “good faith”

On a first pass through I’ve really liked Wi$h Li$t. The message really resonates with how I’ve been trying to live my life for years now

Just on bop terms I think I like The Fate of Ophelia

I just want to double check that everyone sees that is a fake duck

I love this one but is the gif moving at 0.5 frames a second or is it just me

I think you’ve got a bit of a strawman going here

Those who complain about the environmental impacts of AI almost invariably complain about flights and beef as well

Maybe an outside one here, but when Dragon Age: Origins was still new, I was much younger and hadn’t had a serious girlfriend yet. And in general, I got quite a bit more attached to characters in games, including the romantic interests especially.

Spoilers ahead if you haven’t beaten the game

Now a days I struggle to connect with characters in games. They will never be as real as my friends or my partner, so it’s hard to form such an emotional connection as I did when I was a teenager.

I don’t normally last this long with sim games but this one keeps me hooked

I think the voting ratio pretty well demonstrates one obvious hurdle: people don’t like it.

Even people who are happy with AI seem repulsed by the idea of it replacing human intimacy. So unless you have some real ride or die friend and family, you’ll have to risk judgment from them or keep it a secret

There’s also the fact that right now most AI bots are toadies by nature - meaning they will rarely disagree with you and will generally capitulate to your will. That would be off-putting for some, including myself.

They also (currently) don’t have great memory and will not always recall things that are important to you. No matter hpw any times you tell them.

Obviously, there are larger issues to consider, but if you’re already considering the leap then you may not necessarily be convinced by arguments about humanity and what’s natural.

The hard part is the skill gap - it’s not like the pros are a little better than you and you can maybe eke out win. They absolutely dominate you.

I describe them as gusts of wind because they blow in so fast and aggressively we’re dead before we can react

If Apex could stop that experience from happening I’d honestly still play it

I’m torn - while I’m not a fan of the new look, I’m also viciously anti-lawn-grass so I can’t complain too much.

Charts like these are a reminder that people don’t understand cats as well as I would like

A cat does all the same things a dog does, they just don’t give it away for free. You gotta earn the respect, more like you would a person!

My cats follow me from room to room, love being held, love to play, and all sorts of good stuff

Not a food crime, and definitely just an ad from a new account

Doubled my monthly contribution to NPR. Doing my small part

I can’t say whether it can execute, but the metadata is a privacy concern if you are posting online. Depending on the camera taking the picture it can include the model of the phone, date, or even GPS information

This reminds me of a reddit thread I saw years ago that talked about pedophilia and how there are anonymous groups for people who realize that it’s wrong and want to be “cured”

But they have to hide and use complete anonymity, else their lives would be ruined

They’re people suffering from, in my opinion, a mental illness but cannot get help, and I find it quite tragic, actually

No, it is not that bad. It’s actually very nice.

It affords a lot of consistency, is relatively easy to understand (once you’re familiar with the convention), and theming allows you to modify all the colors and sizing in one file rather than modifying a lot of CSS

I think the worst that can be said about it is that it is unnecessary, but I cannot see a true downside to using it besides personal preference. It gets the job done efficiently and correctly and that’s what’s important at the end of the day

While insulation helps, it’s fundamentally less efficient because the heat sync is inside the building and insulation isn’t foolproof. And often these units are made of plastic, so they leak more heat into the house from the chassis than you’d expect. Even the best hose is less efficient than a window unit where the entire heat sync is outside the building

So while $20 and some duct tape helps a great deal, it definitely won’t be as efficient as a window unit
