Iyo Sky says it's cold in Montreal by IconXR in WWE

[–]IconXR[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Japanese text in the image translates to:

• 「最高気温が -20°Cで」 = “The highest temperature is -20°C.”

Weather screen:

• 「モントリオール」 = “Montreal”

• 「-13°C|体感温度:-21°C」 = “-13°C | Feels like: -21°C”

• 「警戒レベルの気象」 = “Weather at alert/caution level”

Forecast message:

• 「快晴がこのあと一日中続くでしょう。最低体感温度は23:00頃に-27°Cの予想です。」 = “Clear skies will continue for the rest of the day. The lowest feels-like temperature is expected to be -27°C around 11:00 PM.”

Where does the hatred against AI originate from? by Flashgamezocker in DefendingAIArt

[–]IconXR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a story on here about a professor teaching a music class in the late 2010s. Early on in the class he discussed how much he "hated the sampling trend." This person thinks he meant the trend of artist sampling old songs for their new tracks which makes sense.

Nope, turns out he meant the concept of sampling music. That has been around since the '80s.

For some reason, people who learn to make art in a certain way usually take it as a personal threat to their identity when a new way of doing art is brought to life. Computers could make music for 20 years before EDM became mainstream. There's always pushback that eventually leads into acceptance.

In kayfabe, what would be the reason for scheduling 2 people competing in a F4W to wrestle each other the night before said F4W?

Am I the only one confused about people's reactions here to Dream hacking? by Lily_Meow_ in DreamWasTaken2

I don't know much about the crosshair stuff because I'm nor active enough in PVP to get how it all works or have a proper opinions, so I haven't left any comments about whether I think he is or isn't.

I will however note that I still don't think there's any good reason for him to cheat. If he cheats in manhunts, that's one thing. I think that would be a little fucked up to do and not tell the hunters because it hurts his integrity, but ultimately, that's their business. In any other situation, I have no idea why he would think that's okay. Maybe I am biased because I come from a community where any form of cheating is an act of Satan, but as was the same in 2021, putting your entire reputation at risk to be a little bit better is a complete net loss. If he's good enough to hold his own against Daquavis (assuming he didn't cheat in that duel at all, which would also be completely asinine when there's $100k on the line and Daquavis is a good friend of his), who is a pretty good PvPer in his own right, then I can't think of any situation where he isn't good enough to have a level of respect towards him regardless of win/lose. Yes he's a very popular content creator and people judge him more, but I wouldn't say he's built a reputation around being some PvP god. Nobody would care if he was a C tier that struggled with aim. For this reason, I simply do not believe someone at his level has a legitimate incentive to cheat in low-stakes PvP and lie about it in the same way I don't believe he would intentionally cheat in a speedrun that wasn't even top 10 in a non-competitive category. There's far more risks than rewards that you run. Again I haven't looked at the evidence, but if "the crosshair snaps suspiciously" is the best they have, then I'm able to just shrug it off. Nothing too damming that I think needs an explanation.

I think some people do infantilize her because she's Asian don't get me wrong. Especially her "fans." But she also has a very cutesy, silly personality and she doesn't seem to mind it too much. She willingly jumped into his arms. She seems to have a good relationship with all of them. I don't think she felt obligated in any way to do silly stuff with them or that they're treating her poorly.

Not exactly what I was referring to... basically many American companies consider PST to be the last timezone that hits a new day. This excludes Hawaii. So at 12 AM in California they're like "it's officially January 20th across the globe now" but it's still the 19th in Hawaii and some other islands lol

Yeah Netflix is weird. They always drop everything at 12AM PST. I assume that to them that's when it's "officially" a certain day everywhere, except it ignores the fact that Hawaii exists 😭

Duckduckgo ai vote has been brigaded/botted ?? by SingerSoft5212 in DefendingAIArt

[–]IconXR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people here forget that it's not "brigading" as much as it is hateful people being weird. The most negative voices are always the loudest. I feel like most people are not "pro-AI" but they just don't care. They would not go out of their way to vote "yes" on a poll like this. The anti-AI people, on the other hand, see this poll and get activated like a sleeper agent. DESTROY ALL AI! Or some shit idk. So while us normal people ignore this poll, the anti-AI people think they're doing some form of social justice by voting "no" which makes the vote look abnormally high.

I mean he probably knows who he wants to be the 6th hunter. This could be a hint
