There’s no new jobs for horses after the combustion engine was invented to do physical labor

Bingo. And this time we’re the horses.

I doubt that stores will only have one employee

It’s already here, my dude. Not every store, but some are doing this now. It’s just a question of how fast it will spread.

IT guy here, I am not that worried about AI

That’s pretty much because you’re an IT guy. You’re in an industry that AI won’t replace any time soon.

If you were a cashier, or a stock clerk, or a busboy, you should be terrified by AI. The speed at which those jobs are already vanishing is astounding. The other day I was at a restaurant, and I never interacted with a human. The ordering was done by touch panel at my table, the food was delivered to the table by a robot and I paid at an automated terminal. I don’t know how many staff were on duty but it had to be a fraction of what it would have been a decade ago. I bought clothes last week and there was one employee in the store, overseeing the self-checkout lanes (but really just sitting idly by in case anyone had issues). I read an article yesterday about how robots are now being distributed to convenience stores that can clean, stock, and reorder items, so these shops will pretty soon have only one employee in them.

The gimmicky shit that your browser AI and chatbots can do is nothing compared to how this is already revolutionizing the world.

THAC0 is just subtraction instead of addition. I’ll never understand the hate it got.
I have no problem with ascending armor classes and attack bonus. The math is the same. It’s easy and intuitive. But if you’re having issues subtracting whole numbers less than 20, you’ve got a problem bigger than the wrong game system.

Unless theyre scrapping 2077s engine and starting over completely in a different engine for Cyberpunk 2.

They previously (last year or so) said this was their plan.

Those were the really fun days of the internet.

When surfing the web was actually an adventure and you’d actually discover things.

Not that I could ever go back to dial up speeds, but damn those days were fun.

Thank you! I’ll give that a try.

I’m using Cloudfare for DNS. I’ll check out what they have available.

I agree Reddit is toxic. I’d argue reddit actually stopped being Reddit around 2016. But it’s posts like this that clog it all up and are partially why it is the way it is today.

I gotta agree with this. The toxicity in any reddit thread increases dramatically when the poster pre-emptively complains about all the toxicity they expect to receive. Whereas when you just ask straight without going into a whole speech about comment quality, you get much better replies. Particularly because it’s hijacking your own thread; changing it from whatever question you wanted to ask into an analysis of the comments.

“People are entitled taint-lickers because they don’t like something that I like”

You sound like a lot of fun to be around.

Assault is not free speech.

This guy hits a nerve for me.
So it’s OK if I destroy him, right?

I mean, using his reasoning anyway.

I don’t disagree, but…

Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.___ Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post. ___

It’s really annoying when the post title is different from the article title.

Removed by mod

They could have. But they didn’t. Just like the Jan 6 protestors.

The difference is that the Boston Tea Partiers were on the winning side of history. If the British had won the American Revolutionary War, then we’d be talking about those anti-social racists who ruined a bunch of tea because they were pissy about paying for it.

And if the Jan 6 terrorists had succeeded in overthrowing the government, future generations might end up learning about them as revolutionary heroes.

This was my first thought too.

I think if we looked at the Boston Tea Party with today’s eyes, we might see it as what it really was: a bunch of rich, white racists who didn’t want to pay taxes and so they threw a tantrum and vandalized a bunch of private property.

That didn’t address what I said at all, so I’ll just repeat it:

Kind of shitty to assume that all Americans have the same opinion, no?

Just so you’ve had the experience of meeting one, I am an American who is for banning guns.

Not interested in American opinion regrading this one

Kind of shitty to assume that all Americans have the same opinion, no?

I would think a parent this irresponsible would do more damage to the kid being around than not being around. The fact that she showed no remorse for what she did doesn’t bode well for how she’d raise the kid.
