Not saying you are wrong. In my view, having grown up under the system of being a disposable male, seeing something like “mens mental health day cancelled because of lack of female representation” https://www.theguardian.com/education/2015/nov/17/row-after-university-of-york-cancels-international-mens-day-event is right on par with what I grew up with and honestly what we should be working against.

I do agree media has their hand on the scale making things worse. That said, media isn’t the sole contributor to the problem. Foisting the responsibility onto an amplifier ignores the baseline sentiment.

That is what happened here. Republicans came to the table and said “we will give you Ukraine aid if we get a border deal”. Biden undercut progressives and started making offers that Republicans wanted for Ukraine aid and to put his name on the border deal. So Republicans took their ball and went home.

Used it to explain stuff during my full stack bootcamp. It is immensely helpful when you have an idea of what you don’t know but are unsure what question you need to ask to find the answer. Even better when you know what function you need from a different language but don’t know what it’s called and has some esoteric name you cba to remember.

If a libraries docs are indexed it also helps quickly find the method you need to implement.

LLMs will likely always have a place as a supporting technology during and after education.

I mean, from what OP said it kinda sounds like the player wants to be a Sparking Targe Magus to me and just doesn’t know it exists

I mean, sure. But store bought ibuprofen? It’s $9 for 500 count 500mg bottle off Amazon.

We only charge extra for life saving drugs, normal stuff is cheaper than dirt.

I took Pokemon Legends Arceus to 100%. I can firmly say Palworld has a better loop than PLA.

We were almost capped on Palworld and reset our server yesterday. I have spent over a dozen hours since our reset playing the game. I would have put PLA down permanently if I was almost done with the 100% dex and lost my save data. I am missing 2 achievements on Horizon Zero Dawn on steam for that exact reason.

Early access is fine if you look at the game as it is now instead of thinking about “what it will be”.

“You are now manually breathing” works substantially better

Was there another booster? My state stopped emailing me about them over a year ago…

Problem is, that headline is not out of reach because “slavery was good for black people” HAS BEEN SAID BY DESANTIS

Its like how you deal with killbots. You send wave after wave of troop at them until they hit the limit of their kill count and deactivate.

We had hardware getting massive leaps for years. Problem is, devs got used to hardware having enough grunt to overcome lack of optimizations. Now we got shit coming out barely holding 60+ on 4080s and requiring usage of FSR or DLSS as a bandaid to make the game get back to playable framerates.

If you’ve got 30 series or 7000 series from AMD you don’t need to look for a more performant card, you need devs to put in time for polish and optimization before launch and not 6 months down the line IF the game is a commercial success.
