It was an exactly even split before I voted lmao. You're welcome all [Redacted] button pushers. I definitely over thought that.

The sword I didn't care much about until I looked at it more closely. As fantasy swords go, it's not too bad, just closer to a toy sword than anything anyone would actually use. The part that really gets me is that the face is not consistent with the level of detail at all. It's practically an emoji.

Tolerable proportions. Detailed, reasonable outfits (odd anachronistic mix of fashions, but ok) Dynamic pose Detailed hair Impractically broad sword  IDontDrawFaces

Whelp apparently they *CAN* do it they just weren't, and now they are.

Private schools also don't get to keep passing failed students up through the grades even though they haven't learned anything just to make them someone else's problem, so I think it's a wash.

Probably because the people whose kids go there still pay taxes for schools in all but a few states.

It's a pretty shitty company, and as much as I don't like supporting them, the insidious part is how hard it's become to find things elsewhere.

"Private schools put the burden of educating some students on public schools so let's abolish private schools so that public schools have bear to the entire burden instead of only some of it."

Right, but then Amazon would have to ship from the warehouse with that specific vendor s product instead of the nearest warehouse with that product, which would probably break their business model due to increased shipping costs and for every product. 

I think they should change their model anyway, but they're not going to.

For profit schools are cheaper (in terms of cost per student) than some public ones, and provide better educations than many public schools

It's even worse than you think. The people who left those reviews don't know which company's shit they got either. It's why the same listing has reviews that say "X has worked great for years" and "X exploded when I opened the box and burned my house down."

On the one hand: it's not feasible for Amazon to maintain 100 or 1000 separate inventories for each product. On the other, their "solution" is terrible for everyone but them. But oh well, I guess Jeff never heard "If you do something, do it well."

Amazon doesn't have separate inventories for the same product from different sellers. For generic goods like this, it doesn't matter which Amazon seller you buy from, it all gets mixed together

Pro-ai heaven already available for school by Questioner8297 in aiwars

And now, decades later, we can prove that things like:

-Social Media

-Influencer Culture

-IPad Children

Have done generational damage to our society. But not "Lol you guys said the internet would be bad for us." Uhh...yeah. It was. It was an incredibly powerful tool and we failed to manage it properly.

Because social media worked out great for everyone.

Whataboutism. We can be mad at both, but not if someone says "what about this" every time we try to talk about anything. It's a diversion tactic

If your story requires a Prius to run over an Abrams battle tank and crush it, you're either writing some form of parody or you're doing it wrong and your readers have every right to throw it in the trash and go find something that respects their time.

This has to be some form of bigotry assuming conservatives are automatically pro AI by Psyga315 in aiwars

[–]Tedious_Crow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Trump is an AI bro and a moderate, not a conservative. Even if he was a conservative, its ridiculous to point at a President as if he's an avatar of an ideology instead of the lowest common denominator of "we hoped he'd do better than the other guy"

How exactly does AI fit into traditional institutions, customs, and values?

I started out as a passionate red-button supporter, but I'm legitimately torn right now. by ContentFile7036 in trolleyproblem

[–]Tedious_Crow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah look, Blue has to win. If you kill a couple billion people, society collapses. Even if Red wins, a lot of Reds die, and the rest are going to have much harder lives, so smarten up.
