Because that activates a royal coup, where the new king plus half of your pieces turn a third color on the board

Gee I wonder what rating this game has

3.5 Their lawyer successfully argues that, while the AI is the product, the company shouldn't be held accountable for their product ~~lying~~ hallucinating because it would set a bad precedent for the industry

It doesn't matter what your platform is if it's not communicated effectively to the median voter

They also don't have nipples (though do have mammary glands) and mother platypuses basically sweat milk through their skin for the pups to collect off their fur

The scaled down rectangle should be narrower; it's not scaled in this diagram, it's squished.

(Yes I know you can 'scale' objects on one axis but that's usually not how it's taught on an introductory level. Standard scaling assumes object similarity, which is not present in the diagram's 'scaled' rectangle.)

Most of these I smile at because they're silly, cute and interesting, but this one got a genuine chuckle out of me :)

I love it! Minetest shall prevail long after DRM renders all proprietary software obsolete

What a phenomenal country to allow this sort of thing to occur at all

A "privacy" company acquiring and centralizing various projects to be under its umbrella seems kind of worrisome to me even if it's done with pure intentions.

I mean, there is the argument that if they bioaccumulate in the blood, it's worth removing periodically even if it doesn't stop new intake

My boyfriend occasionally watches YouTube shorts, mostly for the occasional good joke or cat video. He's told me that the shorts algorithm seemingly goes out of its way to show him Andrew Tate type content as well as general Daily Wire/Shapiro/conservative 'libs owned' clips. More or less, if he doesn't immediately close out the app or swipe to the next short when one of these videos comes up, his shorts feed is quickly dominated by them.

I think the big thing is that these algorithms are often trained on maximizing watch time/app usage, and there's something uniquely attention-catching to a lot of men and boys about the way viral manosphere content is constructed. A random poor setup to a skit is likely to get swiped past, but if the next clip comes swinging out of the gate with "here's how women are destroying the West" there's a certain morbid curiosity that gets some to watch the whole thing (even out of amusement/credulousness), or at least stay on the clip slightly longer than they would otherwise. If one lingers on that content to any degree, the algorithm sees that as a sign that the user wants more of it—or rather, that it would achieve its "more engagement" goals by serving up more of it.

Plus, it's grabbing ideas on what to recommend based on user data and clustered associations. It's very likely to test the waters with stuff it knows worked for others with similar profiles, even if it's a bit of a reach.

Edit: minor sentence structure stuff

Hot take:

Every time I see a Doctor Seuss parody that doesn't respect the very strict meter that made his stuff flow so well, it's always followed by about five minutes of me trying to fix it and then stopping because that was supposed to be the author's responsibility. You can sneak in an extra syllable here or there, and there will be situations where it's ambiguous based on word pronunciation, but any more than two syllables off and you should've workshopped it some more.

Take all of these matters most seriously
The gravest of grave should be clear
To step out of meter where any could see
Will only get side-glancing sneers

And who, then, shall patch up this unfinished road
Assembled with half-baked word stones?
'Tis not my intent but I think it's best flowed
