Someone out there will be really determined to open this thing up to other platforms. Might take a year, but surely someone will crack the code.

I cannot for the life of me begin to understand who would still want to buy a kia. The company fucking cuts so many corners that inevitably cost the consumer, irrespective of the engine itself being completely unremarkable.

During the hair falls in my face phase I just used a beanie or hair tie when it got long enough for that. Five years of growth FYI. I don’t use product so cant chime in on that. Would just recommend to be sure you find the right conditioner for your hair.

Ive got curly hair so cant recommend brushing like some of the others here. If you have wavy/curly hair look for advice on that.

The non human animal thing is about the confusing attitudes & behaviors humans have towards them, and how they are unequally applied based on arbitrary traits or nebulous concepts. In other words, in consideration of those individuals who desire to not be used or exploited, why everyone currently exploiting them needs to consider changing those attitudes & behaviors.

As long as you don’t buy an animal, no moral wrong in having a preference in appearance. Adopt and rescue.

Definitely helps tho 👀

Yeah, I think derailing the thread with bad faith intentions to redefine Veganism and not answering OP’s question is pretty idiotic. Mod thought my comment was mean, but idc.

Yeah it’s totally fine to be fascinated with the chemical interactions of plants. This just wasn’t the thread to bring it up if we’re addressing OP’s question in good faith.

What you are describing is reaction to stimuli. You also describe gas releasing from tomatoes. Plants definitely have some form of biological intelligence but Vegans don’t care about that and that’s my point. Your comment doesn’t address OP’s question because what you are talking about has nothing to do with Veganism. This is why I got so dang frustrated. So many of these commenters were not in a position to answer OP’s question because they don’t know what Veganism is or what Vegans value.

Biological intelligence is not the same as having a subjective experience. If there is no subject, there is no one to grant rights to. There is no one ever experiencing pain or pleasure etc. You could at best take an agnostic position on plant consciousness. As we understand it today, consciousness is an emerging property of life with brains/nervous systems. In any case you are probably and hopefully wholly uncaring of tomatoes being harvested, and in that respect it’s hard for me to discern your point of discussion as good faith.

I think with today’s audience those IP’s have a lot more strength than Battletech or Shadowrun. If you think Warcraft or Starcraft exclusivity to an Xbox console won’t sell units I don’t know what to say.

Rare certainly is an interesting one. They had a dark decade there at Microsoft no doubt. Things are getting better. The studio itself aside I think their IPs are getting decent utilization with the upcoming perfect dark and last gen’s killer instinct. They have a lack of banjo for sure. Little shocking at this point. Seemed like the smash inclusion was big enough a hit to see sales.

I’m just hoping to get starcraft and Warcraft spinoffs out of this. Lots of potential with those IP’s. Since 3 is never getting properly fixed, Warcraft 4 would also be nice.

It’s not just that the novelty has worn off, It’s progressively gotten less useful. Any god damn question I ask gets 90,000 qualifiers and it refuses to provide any data at all. I think OpenAI is so terrified of liabilty they have significantly dumbed down it’s utility in the public release. I can’t even ask ChatGPT to provide a link to study it references, if it references anything at all rather than making ambiguous statements.

Looks like that’s the one. Good call.

Looks like PeerTube is on the way left, & Misskey is just after PeerTube. The only one I’m not sure of is the mascot between Mastodon & Lemmy.

The big player battles still to this day have broken lobbies. You can’t filter game mode in big player mode either. Which means if you don’t care for slayer and you get thrust into a slayer match, too fucking bad. Matter of fact, don’t leave or they’ll temp ban you. Also, their netcode will kill you through walls as you turn a corner because fuck you.

I put in at least two dozen hours into the multiplayer because there is a lot to love when things are going smoothly, it’s just unbelievably unpolished for the amount of money sunk in. They seem to have no idea what the fuck matters to players in an online space, or at the very least don’t care.

They ruined Halo a decade ago, and it seems they are just gonna milk whatever shit gets stirred in until the franchise dies.

Like many of you, this was a much desired phone for me. Now I’m just left wondering how soon their next phone releases. Been too long. If I’m focused on eco friendly I may as well also stick with what I’ve got until then.
