I feel like an average person or group of people are of average intelligence.

But huge masses of people? They begin to adopt emergent traits that cancel out individual intelligence. It's why foot traffic can be modelled as a liquid. Or why the entire field of economics can exist.

This makes large public masses have predictable behavior that's exploitable by grifters, demagogues, and propaganda.

I don't find them funny but more amazed that we've distilled the concept into an immortal simple symbol.

Like kilroy or the cool S, loss will ironically never be lost ~~:.|:;~~

I have never needed to haul something before and I'd probably need the backseats more than a pickup.

But I really want that now.

Ah good ole Pascal's Wager.

I'd say convenience and shareability. I come across far more dead Dropbox links than dead Google Drive links.

And Onedrive is further down in enshittification than Drive. Like windows relentlessly trying to reenable and reinstall without permission.

Overall I like it cause it's just there and works. But I wholeheartedly would not recommend it for business applications (without backups at least). There have been instances of companies data just getting deleted or randomly banned from their google account.

In essence, I would not pay for upgraded storage.

I'll be playing work 🥲

Besides that I'm currently playing Paper Mario for the first time (I don't know if remakes count on this sub).

Also Noita, if you like exploration and tinkering, and can find humor in dying a lot to physics or yourself, then I highly recommend. You could sink endless hours into it; beating the main portion of the game is jokingly referred to as the "tutorial".

Programmer solution:

Each episode is defined by the earliest point they travel to, excluding that episode's "present".

Jam all edge cases at Epoch (1970) or the present if you prefer (2024). Sort these by order of release.

Push to production.

Here is an article about it. Even if it's technically right in some ways, the language it uses tries to normalize pedophilia in the same ways as sexualities. Specifically the term "Minor Attracted Person" is controversial and tries to make pedophilia into an Identity like "Person of Color".

It was lampshading the fact this is a highly dangerous disorder. It shouldn't be blindly accepted but instead require immediate psychiatric care at best.

Some of these issues would probably be avoided if the server enforced using the threads feature for topics and conversations, but at that point you might as well just use reddit (or lemmy).

I feel like I'd use Allman for large blocks of code (though in those situations it's probably better to stick the code in a function first) and I'd use K&R for 1 or 2 lines of code (like calling a function).

I live here, personally the simplicity is growing on me, at least they didn't change the colors to be bright and obnoxious like some of the other variations of it proprosed.

The simple two blues and white feels cozy, the tricolor feels like it'd be an amazing country flag, but for a state I feel the simplicity is a benefit.

Don't we usual define shapes with points? Like the corners of a triangle, since they have defined coordinates. Would a point at the same coordinate be inside or out?
