BluesF,

No, you probably don’t remember the crappy ones from when you were a kid, but they were there. Survivorship bias.

Scots isn’t just an accent, it’s a language in its own right.

Although honestly I’m not sure how much of this is Scots and how much is just specific to Scottish twitter lol

So actually having done some more reading this isn’t Scots - I’m fairly sure this is Scottish English which is somewhat a merging of Scots with English.

BluesF,

Wikipedia does explain that Scots and English are sister languages, they both descend from Old English. Neither is a dialect.

BluesF,

Inestimable also means “of great value”

BluesF,

If he was my boss and he treated me like this I would absolutely hold it against him! Honestly I don’t care how much an employee fucks up, there is no excuse for abusing them.

BluesF,

Everyone gets angry, but this is not a constructive way to communicate what someone else needs to do. You can express all of this without belittling and swearing at someone. Being angry is fine, taking it out on other people is rude and unnecessary.

BluesF,

Do you think we should abandon all gender entirely?

BluesF,

Why do we have to reduce it to “good” or “bad”? They have reprehensible methods, but the fact that they exist is an inevitable consequence of the conditions that the Palestinians have been living in for decades.

The idea that Hamas and the IDF are two “sides” is itself absurd. Hamas have absolutely no chance of victory against the IDF. There is no world in which they can even compete! They are a desperate attempt to take action by a people who have been pushed to the brink.

They aren’t a side, they are a symptom. They’ve done terrible things! But those things are a consequence of the circumstances that caused Hamas to exist.

BluesF,

But it isn’t artificial intelligence. It isn’t even an attempt to make artificial “intelligence”. It is artificial talking. Or artificial writing.

BluesF,

Bloody hell that’s a lot of milk! And, well, not much of anything else. I suppose you could make additional cheese??

BluesF,

100%, all I really want is something I can look at and perhaps sensibly chuckle at when I have a few minutes… Not a pasasitic brain worm that really wants me to pay attention to it.

BluesF,

Series one maybe, two was a bit of a mess imo. I didn’t even understand what the stakes were until everything started turning into noodles.

BluesF,

Many copyright holders believe that if they’re able to communicate with pirates, a proportion will change their behavior.

Yes, they will probably be more careful next time

Are there r/WorldNews Israel bots or am I hallucinating

I just noticed that there are quite a few users on Reddit from r/WorldNews who are defending Israel unequivocally and when I checked some of the users they seemed to be engaging on topics only about Israel/Palestine and they seem to be extremely active, so I have checked the Internet and there are even some older BBC article and...

BluesF,

Did you read the article? It’s suggesting Israeli citizens step into conversations and defend Israel. No need for bots, there are people to do it.

BluesF,

I think at the moment it’s highly correlated with reading the news

BluesF,

Man I did not get this joke at all before reading this lmao

BluesF,

C&H is to sociology & psychology what XKCD is to science & technology.

BluesF,

I mean there’s no reason that a perfectionist would be irritated by an 89 degree angle, so I suspect this meme has had its way with you just as intended

BluesF,

Unwise. Evil cat? Things get knocked from tables. Evil dog? Face gets eaten from head.

Israel-Palestine megathread for the remainder of the weekend

the front page is now like half articles on this currently, so it’s probably time for a megathread because none of us want to keep track of 12 threads on this subject and all the resulting comments. only major subsequent developments (for example, boots on the ground; pronunciations by governments; that sort of stuff) will get...

BluesF,

The problem with this conflict in particular is that taking the side of Palestine has become synonymous with taking the side of Hamas, or with simply being antisemitic. It’s essential if you want to express any support for Palestine that you also painstakingly lay out exactly what you support and what you don’t, otherwise… Well, the onion said it best.

BluesF,

Repetition legitimises

BluesF,

I would say considering homo sapiens have been around for ~250,000 years we need a lot of decimal places… if you want to consider prior homo species that’s 2.8 million years and honestly you might as well call it 100%.

BluesF,

Improvements in goods and services? I’ll believe it when I see it. All these recent LLMs have done for us so far is fill the pockets of some venture capitalists. Well, ok, I did manage to get a slightly quicker restaurant recommendation from bard Vs just googling it… but it was a pain in the arse and half of its suggestions didn’t exist!

BluesF,

Doesn’t seem like the fuel savings are quite as significant as they advertise (5-15% Vs 10-35%) but still a worthwhile achievement.
