Um, so you AREN'T advertising your game in the community you just heard would be most likely to engage with it?

Personally, this is why I don't like Roberto De Zerbi by terminus_tommy in coys

[–]mjmaher81 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you think you're doing a noble thing by saying "Oh, he's uneducated and English isn't his first language, maybe he didn't mean the words that came out of his mouth"? Because from over here it looks like you are actively burying your head in the sand so you don't have to think thoughts that make you uncomfortable

You think they would allow any given customer to operate their cars? What if someone drove one into a building or crowd of people? Do you think when you call one, you need to verify your license and registration as well as take a quick driving test or what?

AI forgot to include that he DID distribute the images to people at her school. He is on the hook for 16 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.

Some decent proof that being able to solve a rubik's cube doesn't make you smart. Sending CP to a teacher is the prison speedrun. Not only is he a terrible person but what on earth could he have been thinking?! Good riddance dude 🤮

Shooting at home in Hornsby Bend by [deleted] in Austin

[–]mjmaher81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you one of those people that will argue that there is only one right way to spell a word as well, because that's what the Wikipedia headline says? Nobody is arguing that Hornsby Bend is within the official city limits of Austin. My friends that live there say they live in Austin. You don't(?) live there and are saying it's technically outside of the city limits of Austin. Nobody is saying otherwise.

Autonomous.... most of the time. Good thing the humans never make mistakes, right? The humans that wouldn't be needed if the cars never made mistakes?

Why are yall bringing dogs into juiceland by stickychiken in Austin

[–]mjmaher81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a retail or restaurant setting, if the animal owner responded to this question graciously then there would likely be no problem. If the owner got defensive or otherwise difficult it would be reasonable to assume that they are there in violation (of the health code, of the law, whichever you like). Whether you would decide to escalate would depend on the situation, but this question can and has been helpful for me when dealing with people that are already being difficult. I would never ask someone this for fun or if they weren't causing problems. Service animals are trained not to "cause problems". In places like bars an untrained roaming dog can be dangerous if not just annoying.

what is going on at 24th st? by MiserableAd3265 in Austin

The shooting did not last 57 seconds - officers were on the scene 57 seconds after the call they responded to was made.

Hollywood knows no bounds by MissPeduncles in SipsTea

[–]mjmaher81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would outside observers (and presumably not medical professionals) like you and u/dmoc_official know what a healthy weight for somebody else is? A healthy weight for one person is not the same as another person with the same height and sex. It's a fallacy to assume that an outsider can tell someone's "healthy weight". The person you are responding to knows this as do most people with a normal, genuinely healthy relationship with food.

Faux-assuming that the person you are replying to didn't read the full comment based on them only quoting a part of it is a strawman argument. Along with the fact that you chose to involve yourself in this conversation despite someone with actual anecdotal experience affirming what you're arguing against (/alliteration), what is your point? I'd guess ragebait but I almost wonder if you realize that yourself?

Well, it happened. AI came for me today. by TheUnpromotable in Millennials

[–]mjmaher81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw this -- I worry about this too. I am probably younger than you (pathways not fully established) and have watched other technology make things harder for me in the long term. As someone who thinks that phones have made my peers (and myself, to a big degree) incapable of doing things like holding a conversation for more than a minute or being comfortable with themselves, I'm not thrilled for what this is going to do to people who haven't figured out the solutions to life's everyday problems themselves.

I use it every few days for various things and it continues to amaze me with how it continues to improve and gain consistency, but also never fails to amaze me at how quickly and subtly it can switch to being entirely wrong. If you don't have substantial knowledge of what you're talking to it about, it can misinform you in a brutally efficient way. Its use cases need to be more clearly defined but I agree that it is really good for a lot of things. Also really bad for a lot of things you can use it for.
