Neither is empathetic in the slightest.

Empathy requires considering peoples’ feelings other than your own. I don’t see that here, just a begrudging sense of obligation and, based on op’s other comments, ownership/possession.

I wouldn’t call what he said “empathy”.

That’ll be a meme in less than 24 hours.

When I was very young, my grandfather treated my family a several day trip to a theme park. It was obviously a blast for little me, but there was one ride that I was a few inches too short for. Bummed me out. The next morning as we were getting ready for another day, my mom called me over, took my shoes, and started stuffing them with tissues, determined to get me those extra inches. Not too long after, we went on that ride not once, but twice! It was a blast.

I doubt I’d face the same issues nowadays, so probably not much chance reliving it, hah.

From what I can make out, that and the recommended argument (–break-match-filters) rely on a filters list, which doesn’t seem to have a date option of their own. For now I’ve just added the problematic videos to my archive file, so they won’t slow it down anymore, but it feels like it should be possible to halt the script like that. Maybe it’s too niche of an edge case.

That’s certainly true, too. Still beyond dumb to report on this as if things should be back to normal already.

Afaik, paychecks are supposed to cover time worked without pay. It’s delayed, not skipped entirely.

No fucking shit. What is supposed to change until things are actually reopened and, more importantly, payments resume?

So it was only one hemisphere, but instead of being clear and specifying actual locations, the vague description suggests the whole planet was affected. How unhelpful.

across two hemispheres

Is there any point to this distinction? Why not just say “the entire planet”?

It’s Swedish, I think.

An actor is not the character they play.

That’s a good point. Still doesn’t really comfort me when they’re not subject to the same standards and ethics of actual mental health workers.

The fact they have data on this isn’t surprising, but it should be horrifying for anyone using the platform. This company has the data from every sad, happy, twisted, horny, and depressing reply from every one of their users, and they’re analyzing it. Best case, they’re “only” using it to better manipulate users into staying longer on their apps. More likely they’re using it for much more than that.

Fuck, this annoys me so much. The new-ish sony games are awful with it (Spider-man and GoW at least), providing beautiful, intricate worlds and levels to explore, but if you aren’t sprinting toward the next objective at every moment, it constantly bombards you with little nagging voicelines from npcs or even the main character themselves. I hate it.

Holding a button to do anything/everything. I can see the logic of where it may be useful, but it doesn’t need to be used for everything. So damn annoying.

*Oh, and similarly, forcing excessive submenus to do basic things, like continue a save from the main menu. That should be one, maybe two button presses, not 4+ along with a confirmation. I’ll never understand games with stuff like that.

I’ve seen two videos by this guy (that I can recall) and both heavily focus on the speed of light, hah. Both quite good, too!

Shitty? Yes. “Enshitification”? No.
