I tried to go to the wikipedia page for ants, but the text was way too small. I’m just going to stick with wikipedia for humans.

I would never say “Sorry your dog died 😭”, because emoji by their nature add too much levity to such a statement.

I think this depends heavily on which ones you use. The simple ones like 🙁 are fine (IMO); they’re often autocorrected from :( which I’ve never seen as making light of the situation. I use those a lot just to indicate the tone of a message. There’s a big difference between “I’m so sorry 🙁” and “I’m so sorry 😉”.

You’re fine, it’ll get easier as you get more metaprogression unlocked. Once you win once, you’ll find future wins easier. Also maybe try other weapons until you find one that jives with your playstyle.

“Won’t someone rid me of this meddlesome pope?”

Not to mention, if you miss a payment, you typically have to pay interest on the full original loan from the date you took it out, at some egregiously high interest rate.

More of this, please.

Sam Altman’s appeal to humanity is pretty weak. Dude directly took actions that made life worse for a huge number of people, whether because data centers are being erected in their communities, because their friends and loved ones are being victimized by AI-originating scams, because the jobs they went to college to get are being lost to AI, because the internet is being overrun with slop, or simply because they can’t afford ram and storage anymore. He shouldn’t be surprised that, when he antagonized hundreds of millions of people, some of those people are going to take their frustrations out on him. Maybe he should have thought about those potential consequences before he acted - but no, he saw the dollar signs and just couldn’t resist. Now he gets to live in fear.

So you’re saying he has a future career in government?

Even just like… hitting a speed bump would be pretty bad.

I think about it every time I pay for health insurance, personally, which is every paycheck.

Yeah, I mean… Steam holds the vast majority of the market share, but they got there by… having a good storefront that people actually want to buy from. Any of the others could compete on this metric, too, but they choose not to. It’s like a store surrounded by barbed wire and landmines and caltrops complaining that another store gets more business.

Ooh, this looks great!

I live in one of the bluest states; I actually like our politicians well enough. My district’s house rep in particular has been consistently on the right side of every important vote I’ve checked up on. As a result, though, I don’t exactly have a lot of contact with the crazier part of the population.

Mark my words, someone’s going to make a video game with 100% historical accuracy with this.

he sure is an antichrist

He is anti-Christ.

The problem is that it says it in the same general section that it talks about how to treat your slaves and things, so it’s really kind of ridiculous to cherry pick this one thing as something we should uphold today while ignoring everything else.

Trust me, literally no one from the US needs a reminder that our health care system sucks. We think about that all the time.

He did previously say that as the “winners” of the war, the US was entitled to collect that toll, basically. So, yeah, I think you’re spot on.

You forgot to praise Allah.
