Magic swords and magic powers are exactly what makes it fantasy. I cannot imagine a worse example to pick for your point.

You need to stop doing that yesterday. That's literally what this meme is making fun of. The issue isn't difficulty cleaning, of course it comes off. The issue is putting huge amounts of fat in your drains or septic system that will lead to massive problems down the line.

Yeah, most families where I live keep a grease jar. You don't throw it out, bacon fat stays good for months, it's like a little tub of Crisco but a thousand times better tasting.

They both are. Both agreements can be terminated for any reason. Larion's says nothing that would prevent them from terminating the agreement, it only clarifies that the signer can. There's no real difference here.

Have you ever cooked bacon? That's about the only grease I've known folks to save. Maybe some from ground beef if you're cooking up a whole lot.

You get how that works right though? If you employ 10 people for a task at your business, then get a new tool that lets your employees process twice as many clients, you can cut your workforce in half. It's not really about replacing every person with AI, it's just another way to automate and reduce your workforce to concentrate wealth. It's nice that you haven't seen that, but I certainly have. I run a manufacturing business and I've already seen artists replaced and staff slashed at a dozen of my suppliers. Maybe not all because of AI specifically, but it's certainly a significant component.

The fact that your boss tells you to disguise it marketing speak doesn't mean the companies you're pitching this to don't understand what 'enhancing people' means.

From your link: Small businesses employ a similar percentage of the United States private sector workforce (46%)

That's exactly what I said.

You're not wrong about the current gen AI, but that hasn't stopped adoption or investment into the tech. Even in current states, there are plenty of reasonable uses where it enables one person to manage a significantly higher workload, which translates to fewer employees needed.

Considering how much the current administration has invested into the technology, I certainly hope it can deliver on a fraction of what's been promised.

If you ignore context, 'facts' can tell all kinds of lies.

If AI isn't replacing people, what's the point? Why would a business invest in it?

Jobs are up, but not full-time jobs. Growth in part time jobs and gig work is contributing to most of the job growth, having more people working 2 and 3 jobs is not a sign of economic growth.

And small businesses account for about 46% of us jobs. Not even a majority, certainly not most.

A set of principles of behavior. A concept of actions that are acceptable within the social group, and actions that are not.

Elephants are animals with long memories, complex social structures, and even elaborate mourning rituals. It would not surprise me at all to find they have their own set of rules for being accepted into the herd.

I certainly wouldn't discount the possibility. They unquestionably have empathy. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they have spirituality too.

All evidence we have demonstrates morality has existed in our species as long as we have existed in groups. This leads me to believe that morality was a catalyst to a unified diverse spirituality that took a very long time to agree on, and we still don't agree on it.

See, it's the same when you swap them around. When both morality and spirituality exist throughout all of written history, how can you make any claim of causality? I think spirituality is a natural extension of morality, as people began to establish collective morals, spirituality and ritual can be used to spread and reinforce ideas.

And the idea that empathy isn't inherent is wildly ignorant. Mirror neurons are a fundamental part of our brains, suggesting empathy is taught is like claiming taste is. People are taught what to do with their empathy. Whether to embrace it or ignore it. Hell, look at any of the hundreds of examples of empathy in animals. It's not even exclusive to vertebrates, much less civilization.

I do you one better: fries suck.

They're the worst form of potato, any other form of cooking is superior.

You're inventing a lot of enemies here and listening to no one.

Nobody is claiming all mobile games are gacha, just pointing out that all the ones you talked about initially are, and they wildly dominate the market.

Honestly I don't know why I'm bothering, I have more to say but this a waste of my time.

And yet you jumped all over people claiming to have played enough games to be able to recognize crap when they see it. Again, you're dismissing real people while standing up for what exactly? Defending corporate garbage?

I enjoy the occasional mobile game too, I don't have an issue with your general opinion. But you certainly aren't convincing anyone with the childish attitude and ridiculous reasoning.

The hypocrisy of claiming that you can't judge any game without physically playing it yourself, then turning around and judging thousands of people you've never interacted with based on a couple interactions, is absolutely staggering.

Consider giving human beings the same benefit of the doubt that you give to software.

Deleting my post is violation of freedom of speach.

Repeating it doesn't make it true. Sorry, but that's simply not what the first amendment is about. 'Freedom of speech' means you can't be arrested for a YouTube comment criticizing our glorious Cheeto (yet). It does not grant you control over the content other people choose to publish to private websites.

These spaces are not free, public spaces, and they have never been. Stop living in this fantasy world. Twitter is not a town square, it's Elon's private club and he can do whatever the hell he wants. The only thing I can do is choose not to use it, and focus on sites run by people I'd rather support.

You're judging the gaming habits of the entire population of Lemmy based on a couple anecdotes from random threads? And you want to talk about not making snap judgements?

Based on what exactly? I've gone to one of his events, he's pretty explicit about being a science educator. I can't say I've seen him claim otherwise anywhere, though people definitely like to put those words in his mouth.

Freedom of speech is a protection from persecution from the government, not an obligation for all other parties to be exposed to your speech.

Websites are private spaces, and like most private spaces, have their own rules to abide by. It's their right to make those rules whatever they want, and people can choose the rules that make a more pleasant space to occupy.

If you want the freedom to be hateful and hostile to people, feel free to hang out on 4chan. Forums are typically more tightly controlled, especially specific topic forums, with discussion tightly controlled to keep things on the subject so the site stays useful and not buried in irrelevant content.

'Her' is the director of Homeland Security I clearly referenced, Kristi Noem, who claimed to be in California to remove Government Newsom from power.

This OP is an article criticizing Newsom for calling his wife the 'First Person' in a social media post.

Hope that clears up the details for you.
