Why? Is being killed by the direct results of bombing somehow not as bad as being killed by the bombs themselves?

The "best" part of that is that yes, some schools keep cat litter in classrooms, but the reason is so if there's a school shooter, they don't have to risk walking to the bathroom.

The reason for this is actually pretty interesting though. Historically it was just a US/UK English difference, but it evolved into both being used because one of the first big manufacturers of optical discs, Philips, called them discs, while the US-based IBM spelled their magnetic disks with a K.

Republicans do a thing, baselessly accuse Democrats of doing that thing, so idiots conclude "oh, both sides are accusing each other of doing that thing, it's probably not happening."

LLMs are fundamentally a dead end though. If we ever create AGI, it will be a qualitatively different thing from an LLM.

The apple test is very poorly communicated. The middle of the spectrum isn't a greyscale/washed out image, it's an image where the details only exist if you actively focus on them. Obviously that's very difficult to communicate with a real image, but I think the test leads people to conclude they have aphantasia when they're really in the middle.

Exactly. I give it 50/50 odds that this video is something people will look back on and laugh about how much effort went into bosses that were functionally removed from the game, much like PoE1 boss mechanic guides. I genuinely want to be wrong here, but the game I want PoE2 to be, and the game GGG wants to make, is something the community is viciously opposed to. The PoE community absolutely despises anything resembling gameplay.

I really hope they keep the power creep in check. Everything they've shown looks great, but if player power is even a fraction of what it is in PoE1, it'll just be a neat bit of trivia that if you intentionally hold DPS and let bosses live they all do unique things.

All I see is a sign explaining how to steal from the vending machine.

Conservatives think the only two possible roles for a father are distant or abusive. Love is probably "too woke" or something.

Trump's policies resulted in thousands of veterans with PTSD being denied treatment by the VA on account of lack of funding. If anyone deserves to suffer from it, he does.
