conflates sex and gender

I read the order. It explicitly avoids defining gender and says that only sex should be used everywhere (which it does define, but incorrectly).

It basically says that the government doesn’t care about your gender, they just want to know what’s in your pants (or used to be).

Yes, that was my first thought. Then I saw him turn around and do it a second time.

I’ve been PC gaming since 8-bit computers. I eventually bought an Xbox One as my first console and a Switch some years ago. I just couldn’t get into either of them after the initial novelty wore off. PC gaming is so much more convenient for me. I’m already at my PC, I just need to start a game. And I can multi-task with other apps in the background or on my second monitor. Going to the living room to play on a console on the TV, or switching inputs if I keep it attached to my PC monitor, both are too much hassle. I only ever use the XBox for Just Dance (nothing beats Kinect for it) and I’ve played many more hours of Switch games on an emulator on my PC than on the actual Switch.

This is the order of play that makes most sense for that outcome. X starting in the corner or in the center is pretty much the same thing (can’t lose if playing optimal moves, can only win if O plays the side). O played wrong by not taking the center.

 X |   |
   |   |
   |   |

 X |   |
 O |   |
   |   |

 X |   | X
 O |   |
   |   |

 X | O | X
 O |   |

Except he didn’t mention the product name anywhere in the letter. Looks like he purposefully avoided it being interpreted as an ad.

Laws have changed and he retroactively reduced sentences that were longer under the old laws. But yes, the reasoning for the change was that previous laws were unjust.

Why does that character have two left hands?

Not all turkish delight in Turkey is good. Especially the one in tourist shops. The same way you can eat meh sushi in Japan or meh pizza in Italy.

These accessories

They were attached to an accessory that allowed them to slide like that. It must have a point other than just look cool on the trailer.

My switch came with black joycons. Iirc it cost extra to get the colored ones.

In all your examples, k is a prefix to the unit. You can have 1 km, or 1 kdB. But there’s no such thing as a kilopercent and that’s not how it was used in the title. It was the common informal shortening of 1000 to 1k. So it wasn’t 1(k%), it was (1k)%. Which is an odd combination. It’s not confusing, everyone understood what was meant, but it’s still stupid and unnecessary.

But % is not a unit.

1k is a common way to shorten 1,000. And 1,000% is an acceptable way to say 10x. But 1k% is definitely a stupid abbreviation that nobody uses.

There’s also this version

You’re one of today’s lucky 10,000.

I’m lactose too

Watch out for @TommySoda@lemmy.world then. They won’t tolerate you.

That’s the most vulgar of the many variations. The others are “mă doare în cot / în cur / în pix / în șpiț / în bigă” (hurts in my elbow / butt / pen, not sure what the last two actually mean).

Edit: just remembered another one: “mă doare la bască” (my cap hurts)

That’s more like “I give up” / “I don’t care anymore” (equivalent of “fuck this”). Not giving a fuck is “mă doare-n cot / în cur / în pix / în pulă / în șpiț” (“it hurts in my elbow / ass / pen / dick / no idea”)

I’m curious about the data behind this statement. I can’t imagine that a company replacing artists with pure AI was ever actually hiring good artists in the first place. I’d think any company that’s ok with the quality coming straight from AI was paying for similar quality stuff from cheap “artists”. Any company that was willing to pay a premium for quality art won’t suddenly lower their standards because AI exists. Just my intuition and I’m genuinely curious to see if I’m wrong.
