Because it’s a bit of an echo chamber and people get too involved in stuff with anonymity. You will find this sort of social behaviour all over the internet and from any “camp”. It’s just bad people.

It’s like being subscribed to a toddler in the “why” phase.

When having a beer, I’ve always found it funny that one of the few imperial measurements metric nations kept around, the pint, America went and invented their own. Uncharacteristically a smaller version too.

Nah. It starts out like THUD! THUD! and then slowly after a couple minutes of warming up, that goes all muffled and it becomes that familiar high-pitched ringing noise.

Yeah. Japan’s usually going to be number 1 in Asia, but we all go for whoever of those three teams is still in and usually two of them are in the WC. China’s just insignificant. I think even NZ is higher than them and they’re a low-population nation obsessed with rugby.

There’s a bar near me that is crammed full of arcade machines from all the decades and it is crammed with people of all ages having a blast and so many young people on dates. Games like DDR are still insanely popular and there’s line ups for Daytona USA even though it’s older than plenty of the people playing it.

a humiliating 7-0 loss to World Cup rivals Japan

Uuuh. Maybe China considers Japan a rival, but Japan wouldn’t consider China at all. If an actual world-class team like Japan has a rival, it would be Korea. Both teams obviously well above China in rankings.

You could consider Australia a rival, but honestly the two countries and the fans love each other too much.

For the hostages, right?

You haven’t been on the internet long enough. This is how it starts…for like, the billionth time

the “clearly marked” humanitarian vehicle

They’re white. Except for the massive black markings. I don’t think it can get much more obvious without bringing beacons and a sky writing display in.

UN prepares the extra angry pen for this letter

In my experience, not at all. But sometimes they help with creativity when you hit a wall or challenge you can’t resolve.

They have been trained off internet examples where everyone has a different style/method of coding, like writing style. It’s all very messy and very unreliable. It will be years for LLMs to code “good” and will require a lot of training that isn’t scraping.

A lot of it comes from experiences they’ve had.

Hey! That fact wasn’t fun at all! Interesting, though…

I really don’t care about what any of you think, so go for it. Perhaps better discussion will come from it. And I’d like to block users with consistent negative behaviours.

But Exxon Mobil said I’d get hair on my palms and go blind.

Well, duh.

Wait… Does that mean I’m smart enough to be MI6?

But there’s sooo many, ugh…

Various “extreme” sports

Oh, no …

I feel so sorry for this person. Dragged into the spotlight of the world where everyone’s got a say about their gender, completely forgetting that they’re human first.

The “for” and “against” using her are sociopathic. Nothing feels more alienating that strangers sending positive and negative things to you, like they know you.
