If they didn’t use AI and instead actively choice to terminate workers with disabilities and medical problems unfairly, that seems almost worse. Like, they’re just admitting to discrimination, aren’t they?

It’s like being accused of exercising poor gun safety leading to someone’s death and saying, “I exercise perfect gun safety, I actively chose to shoot them!”

I’d argue it’s only useful when you have more than two data points. With only two, it’s almost always going to be misleading in some way at a glance.

It didn’t even make sense as a political move. I’d wager most MAGA folks had never heard of USAID or knew what they did, and it was at least helping the US’ reputation on the world stage.

Obviously the real value is the good it was doing all over the world, but for the Trump admin that couldn’t care less about that, it still made no sense to axe it.

That sounds like a challenge.

You’re fine, everyone knows what you mean; it’s spelled ‘canceled’. Other poster was just being a dick presumably because they find the term to be cringey.

Edit: I have been duly informed that ‘canceled’ is the American spelling while ‘cancelled’ is the British spelling, so you’re even more correct. :)

Outrage? We’re just discussing it, mate…

They specifically advertise it as an “upgradable alternative to the Steam Machine”; with that in mind, assuming the name isn’t intended to evoke comparisons to Steam Machine is kind of ridiculous, no?

Okay, you’re wildly conflating terms, and it’s making it impossible to carry on a conversation with you on this topic.

I mean there are literal websites devoted to all kinds of porn. Are you a prude about all of it, or only the furry sort? :P

no one was able to describe to me wtf is this about simply put

Did you actually ask any furries? I’ve never met a furry who had a difficult time explaining that it’s a fandom for people who enjoy anthropomorphic animals. That’s all there is to it.

To what end? The republicans have been trying to kill the USPS for a very long time.

Mate, I could not care less about your screenshot. I’m referring to your posts in this thread, which extends to this very reply, where you’ve got a generally off-putting, condescending tone and frankly, I’m glad you’re getting downvoted for them, because that sort of behavior is just not something I’d like to see rewarded on the fediverse.

Have you considered that, perhaps, your prickly attitude and the tone of your posts is the source of the downvotes, rather than the content?

Rather than re-allocating their money across every human on earth, why not allocate it inversely proportional to the net worth of the recipient (and maybe also local currency conversion rate), to uplift the poorest folks?

Could probably choose a lower number, too - say, $100M. Nobody needs anywhere remotely close to that.

See, this is what they should have been doing from the start. Actually add value for gamers rather than try to win market share through exclusivity agreements. This is how you complete with valve. Do more of this.

Who knew that Deep Ones were just mid-transition between human and frog?

In all fairness, it’s in no way required to own a fursuit to be a furry. :) It’s only as expensive as you want it to be.

He and his friends made gobs of money insider trading on oil prices, so there’s that.
