Not a single mention of any of the downsides of AI or any controversy at all outside of a tiny mention of the EU saying there are “risks” to them. Garbage reporting.

Truly spoken like someone who has no idea about economics

The only thing that makes me pretty sure it hasn’t happened is that I think trump is too decrepit to get down on his knees

that’s a cool likeness, never thought of it that way. Would be really cool if it worked like that. Or, well, it would probably get exploited by corporations so you’d just spend all your time off filling your metalmind so maybe it wouldn’t be that cool actually.

you can make it so individual games don’t impact your recommendeds, one way is to go to the store page of the game and click ignore. another is to find the section on the store page named “recommended based on the games you play” and clicking the “explore and customize” button to the right of it.

Edit: apparently you can also find the latter menu by clicking “recommendations” in the top bar of the store and then “interactive recommender”.

Indeed. There isn’t much bigger of a sign that the autocrat has won than the freedom fighters disbanding.

easy 4, two different colors AND they’re two of the best ones.

The cry of Morgoth in that hour was the greatest and most dreadful that was ever heard in the northern world; the mountains shook, and the earth trembled, and rocks were riven asunder. Deep in the forgotten places that cry was heard. Far beneath the ruined halls of Angband, in vaults to which the Valar in the haste of their assault had not descended, Balrogs lurked still, awaiting ever the return of their Lord; and now swiftly they arose, and passing over Hithlum they came to Lammoth as a tempest of fire. With their whips of flame they smote asunder the webs of Ungoliant, and she quailed, and turned to flight, belching black vapours to cover her.

It doesn’t actually say anything about how fast they got there. “In that hour” simply means “at that time” here. On the other hand, they travelled “as a tempest of fire”, which certainly implies magic and speed. Either way, with such inherently magical creatures as the Balrogs, saying that they cannot travel very quickly without flying seems somewhat naive.

Good meme though, always appreciate something that makes me go back to the scriptures.
