That kea description is wrong. They are not an anti hero, they're just a menace. Imagine the destruction of a genius toddler with wings and a knife. That's basically a kea.

If only windows just stuck to being an operating system and let you install things like one drive as plugins.

How many people actually want to support this vs just joking about it "to own the libs".

Not excusing either option. The joking option is just as bad as long as it looks like actual support. I just wanting to know how much of that support is genuine.

A. Off is an autoantonym. You can turn a light off, meaning deactivate it, or you can set a bomb off, meaning activate it.

B. The worst one: inflammable == flammable.

My parents made sure I took swimming lessons as a kid, and as a teenager I did a lot of water sports (sailing and rowing). I grew up next to a really good lake, so it would have been a waste to not be in or on the water.

I'll go and add Slay the Spire and Dominaria to the list.

Mobile games do (mostly) suck though.

A. For controls, power, and screen resolution, mobile is just the worst. If a game on mobile tries to imitate a controller, it takes up a while lot of screen space. If touch is used more like a mouse, I've never seen a game that needs touch specifically.

B. Mobile is a better platform for the shitty pocket casino games. When it's impossible to leave the device at home, it's much easier for a game to develop an addiction. That's why mobile games like clash of clans get users paying upwards if $100,000.

As long as they're shorts, only showing one vague, unverifiable, third or fourth hand anecdote each.

AI as a tool can absolutely be a good thing, just like almost any tool. A tool on its own is neither good nor bad, it's just a tool that can be used. The usage is what makes it good or bad.

Yes, most of what AI is used for now is bad, but it can absolutely be a good thing in the right use cases.

Who else heard this in Kratos' voice?

I think there's a big element of selective memory here. We love hearing about underdog stories, because they're such a good show of courage, selflessness, and other great virtues. This means we are more likely to remember the parts of history where the underdog is the good guy.

On the other hand, I think you do have a point. Those who have the hardest fight to make the change they want, are the most likely to do it for selfless reasons. It makes much more sense to put yourself at risk if you aren't fighting for yourself. So while wrong but well-meaning underdogs seem possible to me, actually bad people who just want to be on top aren't likely to take the underdog route.

 
 

The most versatile of foods, creating chips, hash browns, and vodka, among other things. Which option is the best one?

IMO some good hot chips (fries for you incorrect Americans)

 

What movie do you want made? If you got a pitch meeting with a producer and a guaranteed green light, what would you say?
