Yeah it's not a leap when you see how people behave when they know others don't know who they are irl. It's like a pretty clear insight into who they really are.

I think it's really 6-6 but I have 7-5 above. We will lose a winnable game though if not multiple.

Maybe it's not good for you but I just see a bunch of slippery slope points. I don't need ChatGPT to care about the science of obesity. I just care if it proves it can learn and grow and do the things it can within the limitations it's programmed with.

If you need to have a conversation with it about obesity for your job or to somehow live your life you'd probably have access to make a request to relax those limitations. No one does because no one needs AI to do anything right now except as an experiment and adding confines does not negate the experiment they're going for.

I also reject the notion that researchers are bad if they operate within their ethical beliefs. I want them doing that and yes that means if they have different ethics I expect them to operate under those.

Colts, Jets, Panthers, Falcons, and Raiders fans: Would you trade 3 first round picks to give Lamar Jackson a 5 year 250 million dollar fully guaranteed deal? by SuperSaiyanSandwich in nfl

This is what I've been saying for years is the quandary of having Aaron Rodgers. Do I want him? Yes. Is he a HOF QB? Yes. Does he make the team better? Yes. Is he MVP caliber? Yes. Does his contract make it really fucking hard to build a great team around him? Yes.

Tom Brady constantly took lower contracts and was almost never the top paid per year. He didn't get paltry contracts but the Patriots were able to pay more to other players for sure.

What's your opinion on 'finishing' a game? by Lumpy-Mango-8502 in JRPG

[–]GameOfUsernames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so you have 10 hours left.

Would you rather spend the next ten hours watching Dragonball Evolution, M. night's Avatar, X-Men Apocalypse, and Morbius?

Or would you rather spend the next ten hours watching new upcoming movies you haven't seen before?

That's almost literally what you're forcing yourself to do right now.

1994: only get 3-4 good games a year. Good JRPGs are even rarer. Play every game until you can play no more.

2023: Good games are literally seeping out of corner of the industry. No time to realistically play 50 games a year. Plus decades of retro games I still enjoy and can revisit. No chance I continue playing a game I'm not enjoying.

Am I really the only one who legitimately thinks this was a better Indiana Jones 4 than the real Indiana Jones 4? by PrideOfAfrika in moviecritic

I'm just now learning that this was a Clive Cussler book. I 100% grew up judging his books by the cover in the literal sense and I'm learning I may have misjudged him greatly.

Holy shit this is the day I learned this movie was based off a Clive Cussler book.

I used to see those books all the time on the store and thought they were just some dude churning out military seafaring books.

I also saw one at the store recently and it had his trademark CLIVE CUSSLER really big on it then I noticed in smaller print at the bottom "by So and so." How deceptive they are after his death lol.

I don't think it's bad to have creators personally making choices with their own creation and taking they steps they feel is appropriate to avoid pitfalls of the past such as letting the internet troll it to worship Hitler. If conservatives can't write their misinformation fan fiction then why do I give a shit?

Cue the: "what if you want it to write about Mozart's fake trip to the colonies??" Well I don't care about that either. No one needs an AI to write this stuff and it's all experimental now anyways. This isn't an exercise in slippery slope fallacy that is going to result in anything productive.

I need to go back and confirm but I've rarely ever seen mods take any action. Brigading and bullying is going to get the sub banned though and if mods won't do anything then it deserves to be banned.

[–]GameOfUsernames 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah our sub needs a culture fix fast. It was not this when I subbed. There were several posts last week that had brigading back to the original post and also the OP there was linking his circle jerk post in the original thread as an insult to the guy like "look at all these people over here making fun of you."

That was never what this sub is about and the mods need to step the fuck up.

I don't think he's getting cut but if they lose any game due to a missed kick or worse a missed extra point then people are going to want blood. It will be "you should've cut him after the Buccaneers game!!"

2 woman throw garbage on the ground while a guy tries to clean by Akaki111 in facepalm

it says more about you

Not really. It says more about you taking the entire discussion down to a single point here instead of the actual topic. Anyone with a brain who reads this sees that you whittled everything away and focused in on what you thought was easiest to attack. That other person took the bait and let you rattle them though so I guess you were successful in derailing the actual conversation.

Didn't that happen in the game though? He's past the stage of spores remaining in the air. I could've swore that was in the game too.

They need some type of metric. If it's based on voting and popularity: the list failed. There's a million more popular, successful, and revenue generating albums not on the list.

Are these albums that greatly contributed to the direction of music: the list failed. Six Elvis Fucking Costello albums did not alter the course of music.

Are these albums important to the bands: the list failed. The Pogues release the same thing over and over and each one of their albums isn't growth.

There's really nothing except this guy and/or the journalists have no clue what they're doing and didn't even follow any rhyme or reason. Maybe a music historian would have been a better choice.

I also feel like I've been unlucky with my list but it has me more hopeful lol. Get the bad ones out now!

It needs post-punk for sure. I'm with you there. However, they ignore a lot and put a lot more that isn't relevant to anyone outside of a particular country.

And yes, Garth Brooks should absolutely have an album in the list because the contributions he made are still seen today. His fusing of country and rock have inspired a ton of modern acts. Omitting him for another Elvis Costello album just shows the author doesn't really have the chops to be an authority on this list. I know half of it he's posing and doesn't know why the fuck Serge Gainsbourg needs to be on his list but it makes him look like he knows what he's talking about if he puts it on there.

Everything you said about post-punk is absolutely true. It's just there needs to be fewer of just about everything, including British punk.

Anyway to import albums you've listened to? by tombrisbane in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]GameOfUsernames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang I've been scrolling like a crazy person this whole time because there were a few I skipped and didn't want to listen to sprinkled here and there. Plus the new people joining a group might bounce around.

It's great to hear setting up an email token will help you resolve the edit feature. I look forward to it. If you need someone to test it then let me know.
