You’ve got to know what you want with Instagram and don’t fall for the algorithm.

I use a throwaway account and only follow stand-up comedians so I can scroll through and watch some comedy.

As soon as a video pops up in the feed that isn’t stand up I shut it down.

I can’t imagine it would be any different than a new gold mine opening up somewhere in the world.

Well not as an individual but the owners/caretakers of the land are legally required to remove it and remediate the area.

Depends on the rules. Some places it would be illegal to disturb anything in conservation areas like parks but other areas it would be illegal to ignore invasive plants and not remove them.

I mean, technically the US was at war under Obama so some of those can be somewhat excused.

Trump matching the number of countries while not being at war is probably a little worse.

I would probably send it a complain to the city.

Although you might not see it often due to the fence (can you not smell it) that much garbage probably is enough to cause substantial pollution being exposed to the sun and rain, and could also pose a fire risk if any batteries or chemicals made it in there.

There’s a reason people can’t just open up a business as a private landfill wherever they want.

What I read was that they just used AI on some placeholder work which was already replaced by human made stuff before release but the AI stuff could still be found in the files.

I think I read there was a game that had to do a HitFix because people were tricking the NPC AI into giving a bunch of free gear by just relentlessly talking to it without ending the conversation.

English is silly

Yeah if game developers were just a distributor instead of an IP owner, I would pay $5-$10 more for a game from almost any other game developer.

Mine has the 2 for volume and 1 for power, as well as a toggle switch to change from silent, vibrate, and sound for the ringer which I quite like.

I feel like any paper that’s published that cited a paper which got retracted, should automatically be reviewed and assessed to determine if they should also be retracted.

Some of them are alright, but I have no idea that they were thinking when some of the new ones got approved.

This isn’t age verification, it is ID verification. They don’t care how old you are, they want to know who you are.

Is there any concern from your polish friend that they may be next if Russia wins in Ukraine?

The article I read which had this photo featured stated that Putin had invited a bunch of reporters to Kupiansk to see how the Russian forces had surrounded the city.

Then Zelensky went there and took this photo to be like “oh no, Russia has this place surrounded? I would have never known”

No Idea if that’s true, but that’s the gist I took away from that post.

All I know is that if I were in constant pain and shitting myself because I had no more bowel control and had no ability or freedom to move myself anymore, and I could no longer do anything I enjoyed like hobbies and I was confined to sleeping 95% of the day away…

I would put myself down.

Russia was for? They are literally trying to take over another country at the moment.
