This is the sort of thing a person rattles off on gut alone. “Artistic freedom” is not legally defensible - if your work isn’t entirely unique, you need to fit within Fair Use in the US.

If you’re in many places outside the US (like Japan) there is NO Fair Use carve-out to copyright (which is why Palworld may be more fucked than if they were a US company.)

Who, with sufficient expertise, is willing to participate in creating this? Maybe they’re out there, but I think this incompetence is perhaps the best they could find.

Tragic on many levels.

I can’t believe in 2023 we are still in the position of having the only convenient capable way of incapacitating someone from a distance being to destroy their body.

I’m not trying to sound super anti-gun, it just seems like it’s not the right tool for the job most of the time, and it sucks that that is the choice we have to make.

Yes, what’s important is modeling behavior, not an accurate world view at 3. It’s frustrating internally, but I just made sure my child could see that I was unfazed. I also modeled answering questions without being an authority, when appropriate “I think this is how it is” “I’m not sure, let’s find out together!”

It’s a long process, just keep your eye on emotional regulation and other bigger picture issues and don’t let your child drag you into the weeds of who is right and who is wrong, IMO.

A local personal assistant that isn’t just focused on media consumption or purchasing. I want to ask about my most efficient route or ideal presents for my partner or a medical condition without it being data mined.

Being in my 40s, I am relieved to say that I keep finding women attractive that are my age, and I look at people in their 20s as, well, kids. Even in my porn, I keep looking for women more my age.

That’s true physically, but also emotionally. There is a humbling nearly all decent people seem to go through in their late 20s to 30s that at this point is a necessary point of bonding for me.

I think it’s obvious that his parents were mentally damaged and traumatized the boy, nevermind the neglect and tacit encouragement at the end.

Everyone is so hell bent on retribution, no matter the cost. What we want is someone who won’t assault or murder others, owns their actions, and repays society to whatever degree possible - zero of those things are developed in prison.

Considering how each generation of Boston Dynamics robots becomes more and more graceful, I don’t see how the problems you suggested won’t be non-issues incredibly fast.

Also, unrelated to your comment, people are delusional if they don’t think this is the ultimate goal, right? Amazon’s reassurances are bunk - if they could eliminate people they would, they just can’t do without them yet.

I’ve done SVE but nothing so comprehensive.

I am cautious about some mods that significantly change the difficulty of the game downward, though, and a lot of otherwise great mechanics mods include features that are… too tempting for me.

I love the kids that add in more diverse cave and caverns levels as well as new “large ores”. That really makes those parts more fun!
