The conceptual framework is entirely different though. It's regarded as a treatment for homosexuality at worst, or at best medical treatment of a birth defect.
Iran isn't a hub for transgender surgery because they have the same idea about what transgender means as the US does, it's more like they accept the idea that some men were supposed to be born as women and they concede it to be a medical issue that demands treatment.
My words aren't explaining it the best, but I'm familiar with the mentality and the ideas that prop up that mentality.

I was working in the industry at the time and people absolutely talked about the implications of microtransactions and how it would result in more expensive games and being nickel and dimed.
Like, I distinctly remember conversations with actual human beings from exactly the horse armor DLC and maybe we didn't think it was going to result in, say the online shooter battle pass formula exactly, but we without ambiguity understood that meaningful in game items, and things like levels / experience would be monetized.
The biggest shocks to me were how patches would be used to reduce the game testing cycles, enabling companies to print incomplete or broken versions of games, requiring day one patches.
It's a disgusting practice now, and it was then too.

I mean, yes, but there is a finite amount, we just don't have the ability to accurately gauge how finite. We also created new techniques for extraction and technology changed to enable those new techniques.
The information was good at the time, but it won't get better at the same rate, we're closer to the truth now than we were before because of advancement.
Anyway, my point is the new estimate is much closer to true than the one your comparing it to.

What portion of potential buyers? I am, for example, no longer considering a Tesla because of Musk, but I doubt very many others are truly consciously avoiding them for ideological reasons ( pertaining to Musk )

I've been trying to tell people for years this is how it actually works, now they're being ultra transparent about it so maybe people will actually care.

I'm curious ( I'm not in FL )
So it rapidly decreased in intensity a hour or so before landfall? I know someone near Tampa that they lost their car and home, but overall damage is significantly less than what happened in the Carolina mountains from Helene, is that correct?
Any ideas why it deintensified so? Is it worse than I understand? Pretty much everywhere reads like this ended up being far less destructive than anticipated, but that the anticipated storm and destruction would have been record setting.

Such weird reasoning - people ask because they don't know outside of their own limited perspective and what they can infer from their idea of the values of their peers.
You should absolutely ask, no shame.

I do actually believe that everything, including human behavior is deterministic. I also believe there is nothing special about human consciousness or creation tbh

That's actually fundamentally untrue, like independent of your opinion, I promise that when people generate an image with a phrase it will be different and is not deterministic ( not in the way you mean ) .
You and I cannot type the same prompt into the same AI generative model and receive the same result, no system works with that level of specificity, by design.
They pretty much all use some form of entropy / noise.

Sorry, I meant the OUI ( was going by memory ) . It's the part that you can look up that tells your what kind of device the MAC address belongs to.
SlothMama 2w ago • 100%
Get the MAC address from the ARP table, and look up the OIN, should help you determine if it's virtual or physical, and if physical the type of NIC it's using.
I have Mushihimesama Futunari on Xbox 360 for a long time, store closed and I learned black label DLC is now going. Are there any option? I can't find physical DLC disk, maybe it never exist. I have options?
Sorry for the poor title, but even when people talk about climate change, and know it's hotter for them, people don't actually seem to talk about the impact on the rest of the biosphere. I can't tell if it's not thought about, or just not discussed as much because it is not 'relevant' to their lives. I can barely function outside for a few minutes without being drenched in sweat, and some of it is probably poor health and not being used to it, but I can tell sl with certainty that I can't survive outside in this heat, and I'm living as a result of a trick or technology. The animals though? Some of them are straight up fubbernucked. There will be mass animals die offs and people won't even notice.
I think about this from time to time, but most recently it's the Persona 3 remake that's got me thinking about it now. The original game was dark, gritty, and I'm really concerned that they're going to downplay that for the more colorful 'mainstream' style in Persona 5. I loved Persona 5, but 3 has my favorite aesthetic, my favorite 'feel'. I'm worried they now feel like the dark blue, and 'gun' motifs are more controversial now. I'm also highly disappointed that the extra content from FES and portable won't be in it, that feels like half the appeal of a remake for this title. I want to like it, but I probably won't.
I've been a Vita refugee for years, I own two actually. I'm fond of the system, and it makes me miss smaller, actually portable systems. The past couple years I've largely migrated to the Switch, and it's a good system, but it always feels so heavy in my hands and arms, it won't fit into my purse, and so much of the library is digital only ( Vita did have this problem at the end though ) that I long for the Vita and PSP. I picked up and played some games lately, like the Little Big Planet on the Vita, and wow that game is so good! The levels feel a little long for a portable system, but it succeeds at feeling like a full blown home console game. I just picked up a physical copy of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel because I hear a lot of good about these games. I like JRPGs, but haven't really dived into them because it feels like no matter where I start, I'm starting in the wrong place and it feels so overwhelming. I go through times where I get obsessed with a specific console again, recently it was the PS3, and before that Sega Saturn. What systems are you going back to, or maybe even finally getting to try for the first time?
Maybe I like bad games, or maybe Cyberpunk 2077 was never quite as bad as people say - I'm not sure because I unironically love Forspoken and think it's one of the best games I've ever played. I did hate on the game hard at release, and a lot of it was well deserved, trying to play it on PS4 or Xbox One ( I picked it up on both ) was actually awful and unstable, I couldn't progress past the club at the beginning of the Street Kid life path so I eventually hung it up for a while. I bought it at launch, and it was a bad launch, reminded me of the launch of No Man's Sky, except visually the game was stunning, and there was a lot more substance, but it was actually broken. I ended up giving it a real try at the end of 2021 when I managed to get my hands on an Xbox Series X and it was a drastically different game. This was before the 'next gen' patch, but it had enough fixes and ran butter smooth on the Series X that I ended up getting enthralled. Y'all this game is good. I had a great build that was frustratingly nerfed hard at the next gen patch ( RIP Overwatch ) but wow the story and world is so interesting, and I feel like this is this AI revolution story just waiting to be told in the background - it's good shit. I haven't played since the next gen patch, so all that will be new to me along with Phantom Liberty so I'm looking forward to a drastically different game than I played a year and a half ago. I think CDPR finally did it, or will have did it upon release. I can't wait.
I was skeptical, so skeptical, but y'all, it's really actually that good. It both does and doesn't feel like Final Fantasy, the overall story feels very FF, but the way that it's presented feels like a season of Game of Thrones. I like the worldbuilding and depth of the lore, the voice acting is incredible, visuals are great, and some of the vistas and set pieces have been incredible. Boss battles are this insane spectacle that I just wasn't expecting, it's just non stop flashy and it gets me pumped and full of anxiety, combat system is pretty complex. I was not happy about the idea of losing turn based or quasi turn based battles, and I never feel like I have a 'party' ( my happiest was with Jill and Cid ) but it still all works. The main villain oozes mystery and is pretty creepy, and the secondary villains have been mostly memorable. I love it.
