Live Your Lives

I haven’t played half life. Isn’t the point to make you think more about the story than about the challenge of the game?

If my choices came down to having a car with power windows or a car with low speed cruise control options, I very well might choose the latter. It’s so nice not having to also keep an eye on the speed you’re driving at while going down tight residential streets with kids playing in their driveways.

Most fish have teeth, actually.

In case you didn’t know, diorite is a real type rock as well that is similar to granite.

I wish I would have had that issue instead. What happened for me was that it would shut down like normal, but then I would get a BSOD on startup, have to restart the computer, reinstall the update, and manually choose restart again (it had to be from the startup menu, not from a windowed program) to actually get it installed.

It strongly depends on the topics they talk about. I think history and issues of logistics could be interesting.

What explains the depressing job market — most starkly illustrated in a viral chart on X, based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showing the number of position openings cratering since ChatGPT was released? And what about early career jobs, which seem scarce these days, to the chagrin of recent graduates?

Some think that the softening in the job market should instead be attributed to the US Federal Reserve putting a kibosh to the era of zero interest-rate policy in 2022. Before it ended, companies borrowed massive amounts of capital at cheap rates and plowed them into high-risk startups — thereby inflating assets, making lots of millionaires, and fueling a gold rush of well-paying tech positions. (Squint at that chart in the previous paragraph and it does seem to support this thesis, with the decline in openings coinciding more cleanly with the interest rate hike than the release of ChatGPT.)

As for early career positions decreasing, some experts think the phenomenon predates ChatGPT and could be a sign that there are simply more college graduates than there are early career jobs where a higher degree is a must, along with other structural changes.

And there are the headlines, which are littered with stories of people getting laid off due to AI — but maybe that’s a function of some CEOs jumping the gun and buying into the hype even though AI still leaves much to be desired in practice. That’s reflected in the uneven adoption of AI across industrial sectors.

While generative AI looks likely to join the ranks of transformative, general purpose technologies,” the Yale study reads, “It is too soon to tell how disruptive the technology will be to jobs.

I don’t know about here on Lemmy in particular but I looked it up and found a 2011 Pew poll that gives some statistics: “Mormons perceive hostility directed toward them from evangelical Christians. Fully half of those surveyed (50%) say that evangelical Christians are generally unfriendly toward Mormons, compared with 21% who think evangelicals are neutral toward Mormons and 18% who say evangelicals are friendly toward Mormonism. Pew Research Center surveys show that roughly half of white evangelicals (47%) say that Mormonism is not a Christian religion, and two-thirds of evangelicals (66%) say that Mormonism and their own religion are very or somewhat different.” It also says that “one-third of non-Mormon U.S. adults (32%) say the Mormon faith is not a Christian religion, and an additional 17% are unsure whether Mormonism is Christian.”

Would there be any way around this?

Why would we need such a strong sensitivity to it?

From what I understand, they’re saying that the person they are talking about was just a communist because of the aesthetics and weren’t a “real” communist. So they wouldn’t consider themselves a hypocrite because they actually are a “real” communist.

I don’t understand the last panel, why is he wearing mice for hair?

That’s why I like to mod my games with a gravestone mod. Your items are safe but dying still costs you something.

Can somebody explain to me why it’s taking so long for Tate to get sentenced?

I assume they choose NYC in particular because its a three letter acronym that could sound like it would fit in with other three letter fighting organizations.

True, but I’ll typically get more splashback that way than if going straight down the middle.
