8-ish is a little early for me. By 'Dawn', I really meant somewhere around 10:30. I am amenable to your terms. I played Age of Mythology and watched (some of) the Marvel movies, clearly that means I am an expert at Norse mythology.

I reckon it must be over 20 years since I last heard this song.

This comment isn't about nostalgia or reminiscing. You ruined something good by making me listen to this again.

We duel at dawn.

I think it's because it causes all of Lemmy to have a collective ragegasm. It's kind of funny in a trollish way. I support OP in this endeavour.

I wish vegans and vegetarians would be a bit more willing to promote this viewpoint.

I agree. I think that sometimes people avoid vegan/vegetarian options due to negative perception drawn from some prominent activists in the community (not helped when rage-baiters get more views and coverage).

I honestly think I would have become vegan sooner if there were less 'hardcore' vegan activists and more empathetic role models.

I fully support people making the public aware of awful conditions in livestock farms and abattoirs (nonviolently), as well as those who encourage alternative options (e.g. nooch is delicious and I wish I knew about it before I became vegan).

The people that dump red dye/fake blood on people, or block streets, or vandalise businesses, aren't doing the movement any favours IMO. The same with people who disparage others who are making more ethical choices, but not the ones they have made (e.g. consuming less meat instead of no meat in this case).

Attacking a person's character doesn't generally work; people just get defensive.

"...for multi-step tasks"

I actually like AI overview, though I use DDG, not Google. It's especially helpful when you just want a simple answer e.g. stuck on a level in a video game, wanting to know the major exports for a country, checking the release date for a movie/game, basic troubleshooting questions.

Website developers typically bloat simple questions like this with irrelevant rubbish to waste your time and keep you on their websites longer.

No. People will use children as tools to migrate. They already do to an extent, but this would exacerbate it significantly. People should have children because they want to raise a family, not to use them as a tool to bypass inconvenient red tape.

Trying not to be too douchey here, but ironically, your message is actually a very good example of where this technology could be beneficial.

IT is ACTUALLY not EASY to read a MESSAGE when THE CASE randomly SWITCHES back AND forth.

I don't use WhatsApp, but this immediately made me think of my dad who doesn't use any punctuation and frequently skips and misspells words. His messages are often very difficult to interpret, through no fault of his own (dyslexia).

Having an LLM do this for me would help both him and me.

He won't feel self conscious when I send a, "What you talkin' about Willis?" message, and I won't have to waste a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out what he was trying to say.

Wow, you're right. German really is amazing!

mittens = Faustschuhe => fist shoes

hat = Kopfschuh => head shoe

glasses = Augenschuhe => eye shoes

earrings = Ohrschuhe => ear shoes

mask = Gesichtsschuh => face shoe

bra = Brustschuhe => breast shoes

shirt = Rumpfschuh => torso shoe

pants = Beinschuhe => leg shoes

helmet = Gehirnschuh => brain shoe

diaper = Babyschambereichschuh => baby shame-area shoe

I don't like cars, but this is fucking bonkers. Trapping people in place isn't 'protesting', it's being a twat.

All the people claiming that this is a legitimate protest surely understand that the car driver was only 'counterprotesting', right?
