Ecco the dolphin

They need someone to review and tag the recorded footage to train AI models.

No moment is private when wearing these glasses. I’m glad they haven’t caught on where I live.

I’d like to expand on this thought. Its been bothering me.

Even when we “lose” wars we Americans do not experience the destruction we impart on other nations.

We bombed a school. No american school children will die in this war, but Iranian children already have.

Americans will disapprove of this war but it will only affect them in limited ways, making large protests feel foolish when many are trying to scrape by to make rent, and we live under a dictator.

I don’t know what there is to be done. It makes me sick.

Does that make sense to you? It’s a bit complex, so I can understand if maybe that’s a bit tough to fully comprehend.

Are you attempting to be condescending when you couldn’t figure out whether it was New York city or New York state bringing the suit? How embarrassing for you.

Anyway, what valve is doing is supporting a nascent gambling scene involving 3rd party resales of loot box stuff, and the loot boxes themselves are basically gambling. Its not something that should be normalized. They are profiting off this and there are children involved. Normally I don’t think “save the children” arguments have much weight to them but this is a solved problem: we regulate gambling industries.

Please understand: I use steam. I think its awesome. I’m hyped to play my steam games on Linux. But steam is in the wrong here imo.

And yes, there are bigger evils in the world, but this is still a worthwhile case. [Sentence redacted, privacy]. This shit is gambling and it needs regulation.

NEW YORK, Feb 25 (Reuters) - New York’s attorney general sued Valve

First sentence of the article. The state of New York is suing valve.

Valve has customers in New York so they are allowed to do so, I imagine.

Idk are laws even real anymore?

1. Bill Gates doesn’t work for Microsoft anymore.

2. I’m not comfortable giving my money to companies run by pedophiles. I think most people don’t like doing that. This isn’t a court of law - we’re not sending them to prison. You’re allowed to say “where there’s smoke there’s fire” and do something else with your dollars.

This shit is so prevalent its going to be hard, but I can act on the information I do have, so can you.

Their goal is to cause unrest so they have an excuse to cancel the midterms

It’s also untrue.

Watch: Fuck

Yeah but it seems they are being rented by people in plain clothes, as apparently several companies are already trying to refuse.

Seems to me (non-lawyer) like they can put out a form like “Are you renting this vehicle on behalf of a federal agency, or to accomplish work for a federal agency Y/N” and if the ICE agents lie on the form, the rental company can now sue the government for fraud. I imagine the individual ICE agent would also be in breach of contract or something.

I know someone who works for a federal agency (DOI, not DOJ/DOD) and they rent cars on behalf of the government frequently when they need to travel to accomplish their work (or they used to, in the before times). But they’re like, doing normal, non-reprehensible things with the car… not filling it up with detainees.

Why can’t they just pull over the vehicle, impound it, and have everything happen like it would with anyone else?

They can do both, and I imagine they probably will.

Idk what you mean “no significant features”. I definitely needed AI integration in notepad.exe.

Friend, the totals are percentages, not absolute counts

This poll annoyed me so much I googled it. It’s just a really shitty poll. There is no reason to believe the 5 listed jobs is a subset of the answers. This is an infographic summarizing a single question from a survey that seems to be commissioned by LEGO.

Article from the “Harris Poll”

I couldn’t find like, an academic paper describing the poll. There’s no methodology for it I can find. It’s just some corporate fluff piece, frankly.

So I guess 3% if these are the only 3 countries included

Yep, only 3 countries. This is just a trash poll.

It says all the children were given an option to pick up to 3 answers.

Mmhmm, I also noticed that, which is why it’s the second sentence in my post.

Given the small sample size

It’s a survey of 3,000? It’s still possible that only one person was giving the survey to the Chinese students.

But yeah, it does look like the Chinese students got different instructions or had them explained differently or something. Just a strange poll.

18+52+37+47+56=210 for China. Each child could pick up to 3 answers. The average number of jobs the Chinese children picked was 2.

For USA/UK the average was about 1. Very few children selected more than one answer.

That’s weird. What a weird poll. Were there only 5 possible choices? I would have told you I wanted to be a veterinarian at that age, if I answered at all. (I did not become a vet, I became a failure lmao)

Tbf 1y coin is made out of aluminum, not copper. They float.

We would call them yennies. Its probably time to get rid of them, but I’ll be sad.

The 10000 yen note is obviously a yenjamin.

Haha no big deal. I don’t even read the article half the time either, too many ads, paywalls, etc

Donald Trump’s Education Department (ED) released a new rule to deny student loan forgiveness to people who work for LGBTQ+ organizations.

It is based on the nonprofit they work for, not their gender expression/sexuality. So, basically the administration can just decide if he doesn’t like the organization you work for, you’re screwed. Obviously wrong and messed up.

BTW that is the first sentence of the article. Seems like the people replying to you didn’t read it either.

Minorities too. There’s a reason he was harping on shaving standards. Some people with curly hair get ingrown hairs when they shave every day. Causes infection and scarring. You can get a “no shave chit” - medical can excuse you from needing to be clean shaven.

Its mostly black men with these chits.

He’s trying to give anyone who wants one an excuse to remove any one who isn’t white enough (and male) from serving.

She, famously, has no idea how humans live. She is culturally distinct from the Europeans on the coast.

She has more in common with the fish that she speaks to. She’s basically a magic dolphin.

Meanwhile, the people in the OP image are humans (to my knowledge, I’m not a nerd). Humans who have lived in the human world with human pasts full of human culture which give context to their characterization. I’m sure their background stories matter to their fans.

Nobody argues about what color the scales on Ariel’s tail should be.

He named his technology company after a wizard pondering orb wiretapped by LOTR-satan.

Im sure theres some great jokes here but I don’t have anything snarky to say about it, I’m just tired.

Tbh I’m not even sure the app is breaking any laws at all. Reporting on the presence of law enforcement is (not always but sometimes) protected speech here. I don’t use the app, and I haven’t heard that they are trying to arrest anyone in regards to it.

Honestly though… Have you thought through everything you’re saying? Sheltering Jewish people during the holocaust was illegal in Germany.

Anyway, have a nice day, those are my thoughts.
