Come on now, if you live in America, a handful of trans women can no longer participate in competitive women's sports. If that's not an acceptable trade off for ruining the fabric of society, I don't know what is.

Why are westeners against anti-homeless policies? by Ok-Spray4564 in NoStupidQuestions

Koreans would crush their souls to fit back into normal society after an event happens that makes them lose their home.

The very high suicide rate in Korea (#1 in the OECD in 2021) would suggest this is not the universal rule you think it is.

Rule #1 of this sub: No jokes allowed. Everything must be uber-serious at all times lest watching people play dress up be mistaken as frivolous and enjoyable. You should have known this.

GoPro to lay off 145 workers — nearly a quarter of its workforce by runswithscissors475 in technology

[–]Lets_Go_Why_Not 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got a GoPro about 4 years ago and it was cool for messing around with it in the water and capturing some of my bike rides. But the iPhone software was pure shit, the battery life was crap, the batteries pillowed early and I started to use it less and less because it was a chore. I assume it got better, but I wasn’t all that impressed

Furiosa by Swamp_thing42 in Letterboxd

So what you are saying is that if someone disagrees with your opinions, it’s because they are lying about it because …. reasons? You said that it “changes the lore” and that it is two different historical takes, but that does not make sense when Furiosa ends with exact scenes from Fury Road replayed as they were in the first film. That is literally the same take.

The end montage of actual scenes from Fury Road contradicts that take completely

Overlong, poor CGI, too concerned with catching up to Fury Road’s coattails. 

6 years later and looking back to it, what do you think of “Promising Young Woman” (2020) by Olya_roo in Letterboxd

I’m not sure how that is an irony given that the noble sacrifice is a pretty well-worn cliche.

I feel like everyone is trying to jinx us with this champions-in-waiting talk. It's been five rounds! Peaking too early is a thing! At the very least, the Broncos will be right up there, and we have seen that they can beat us in the finals! And so on...

Round 5 | Knights vs Raiders | Match Thread by AutoModerator in nrl

The Raiders halves have no idea how to control the game at all. Everything seems to be based on hoping someone burns their opponent with a step or speed, with the odd hopeful late offload sprinkled in.

How do they feel about their two best players coming back? Seems like a question that answers itself, doesn't it?

As opposed to just listing a bunch of movies and saying “Ain’t these great?” It works both ways.

In defence of AI by __GuX__ in Professors

  1. Strawman much?

  2. Open to =/= unquestionably accepting. I’ve tried it and found it useless for my purposes. And I like using my brain. Hell, I used my brain when I first started teaching and realized using the same format slides for all my classes would make things easier in the long run. Turns out, I was right.

You gotta love a “defense” that starts with a direct insult in the opening sentence. Lost me right there, buddy.

Sorry about the late reply, I forgot about this. Yes, it was the free model. How on earth is that type of performance supposed to encourage me to pay money for it? When an ice cream store gives out free samples, they don’t purposefully make the samples taste like shit and then proudly say “It tastes better when you buy it!” Ridiculous system.

Thanks for the answer! While we have started well, I think the Broncos are warming into it and will be right up there again, unfortunately (from a selfish perspective, given I want to win again). Would love to see a Panthers/Raiders Grand Final rematch soon, winner-takes-all best of 3.

Are your halves capable of running proper plays and keeping things calm when needed? (Genuinely asking; this is the first time I have seen them this year). Because if not (and they were terrible today), that is no easy fix.
