Not even that, currently games for say, ps5 download some from the disk, some from online.

This Key-card fuckery means they can now lock the online downloaded portion of that game and now this can be used to prevent the second owner from downloading it with the same code

Publishers have boogiemanned Used Games for fucking decades and now they’re taking another swipe to kill them.

It’s not semantics it’s literally cause and effect. In the initial post YOU replied to, they simply stated that if preventative maintenance had been done we would not be having to ask “what reaction is appropriate” so soon. I know YOU’RE looking for answers to the OP, but then you replied to someone simply bemoaning that we could have been better.

Obviously, at this stage no one is really sure what to do. Is the US really sliding into New Nazi Germany? To what degree? What is a proportionate response to any level? Should anyone actually do anything or will the government sort itself out? Remember, 49% of the voting base DID vote for him, as much as you or I disagree with them. To use violence against someone who is, at this stage, still a democratically elected leader, would be fair game to put anyone in prison. That’s the catch-22 of the issue - he’s still fairly elected, but as soon as the declaration of the formation of the first Galactic Empire, you’re already too late.

If someone DID react, what do you do? Peacefully- Strike at work? Block road/railways? Stand in the doorway of trump-aligned businesses? Or escalate into violence- Burn buildings? Which ones? Even further - Does every city devolve into street warfare like Mogadishu in 1993?

Cause and effect. What happens if you do the peaceful things? The violent ones? Will people follow your peaceful resistance and risk their jobs for your cause? Will people follow your violent warpath, and risk their lives for your cause? What happens to them if they do either, or do nothing and ignore you? These are the questions you ask not “well why is everyone bitching about black man sucks”. - not because powerful funny black man sucks, but because his inaction has us asking all the questions above so much sooner than anyone would have liked.

Google isn’t hard to use.

Kind of jumping into the middle of yours and his here, but quite frankly the ghosts of our past are ALWAYS relevant and pretending things should be changed or answered for in the bubble of “here and now” does no good when anticipating the effects down the line. Torture has been shown to be ineffective and counterproductive. Many voters opposed Citizens United, yet it was passed under Obama. Many citizens opposed the Patriot Act, citing it’s opportunity to be misused to indefinitely hold people. And sure enough Bush signed it and we are still dealing with the repurcussions.

Both Obama AND Biden ran on the platform to close Guantanamo so it could not be misused, and did not. Could Trump have reopened it? Sure! But then we’d be faulting him for reopening it AND using it as a camp. It’s not “both sides nonsense” to say that if Obama had succeeded in it before he left office, we wouldn’t be in this position. (The earliest I could find with quick Google) He stated as early as 2009 in a press release he aimed to do so, and had 7 years after that to get the votes together, ultimately handing it off to Trump in 2016 with 0 inmates because he failed to get a vote to approve it. Trump didn’t close it for obvious reasons, and then Biden had 4 years to take his crack at it and also failed to close it. And now, here we sit almost 20 years later with bushes prison island still open, being used for the same evil bush used it for - hiding people from the press so those nasty headlines stop because they can’t access the island.

Generally I think this has something to do with average age of model trained vs age of depicted person. Humans have large heads proportional to their bodies in youth and then averages out. On top of this another commenter mentioned art. So many anime/cartoon characters have larger heads to show the expressions and in turn show a youthful nature in these characters.

Another addition to this is, as another poster stated, the angles of these photos makes a larger head more apparent, probably because we associate larger heads with intelligence, and so poses have just developed to make that appearance.

Similar to “the average number of arms is less than 2 because there’s greater chances there will be people with zero or one arm, rather than an extra”. Your model will draw on its wealth of samples where the head is disproportionately larger, instead of proportionate - because it was probably fed more photos of hat age range and doesn’t know any different. You asking for AI to give you a person like Trump (78) will show that disparity in head size more than if you ask for Greta Thunberg (21)

I like nearly every song on American Idiot. I recognize they had a body of work before, but this was my first CD, so it was something I listened to over and over. It seems so unusual to me buying other CDs through the years (in general) and finding out only 1 or 2 songs of the 13+ was ever famous. Contrasted to American Idiot with at least 4 major songs on it. (American Idiot, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Holiday, Wake me up when September Ends), it made me feel like the disk was even more special for that.

It is the only CD I have replaced multiple times due to scratching from age - I’m on my fourth CD. I take better care of them than I used to, so it will be one I will always have, even as physical media fades.

I liked Wake Me Up When September Ends for the sound way back when, but now I like it for how it speaks to loss and how we heal over time, but never forget.

And Liches hide them very well. No one’s ever found the holy Grail, so this tracks

“you legally gotta tell me!”

R is typically a drawback financially because it can’t be marketed as a “family friendly outing”. Even a PG13 movie gets mom+dad+kids ticket sales, where rated R gets Mom this week and Dad next week.

Good joke mate. I laughed.

Agreed. If a game like zelda totk can run on the switch there’s plenty of life left and we don’t need a switch 2.

Won’t someone think of the poor billionaires!

Hey real quick though, because this dude has been defending his or this schools descicion since last September

Wheres the School Board this superintendant answers to? This school is having an ongoing issue of permitting a violation of federal law (discrimination of a protected class) and allowing violations of state law (CROWN act) to the degree it is in national news for the second time. This same school is why there’s a CROWN act to be violated. Either the board is so massively incompetent to miss this and are not management material, or they are actively encouraging it. I wish I had such a level of job security jesus fucking christ. Fucking rich people get all the goddamn handouts.

“Don’t do that!” -the second best military in their own country

When you say “fuck the rules” it means other players won’t obey them either. Thats the “find out” part of “fucking around”. You don’t get to quote UN resolutions to defend yourself with a moral high ground after using them as TP.

But still fuck these guys for shooting a church.

Right but in the dark you can only see a general area below you unless you’re already close to the ground. And even then all you have to do is…not be standing in the same place for hours at a time

Well I just learned a new word. Also wikipedia says it is in some places.

This is a funny way to spell ‘frivolous’ when describing a lawsuit

It would start in a state court and progress to the state level Supreme Court, I imagine. After that it goes to the federal SC. This would be preferable if they are seeking punitive damages.

Or I guess they could appeal it to the federal level. This is the route if you wanted to make a precedent for the entire US.

Apple doesn’t allow it. Users do , when they agree to share whatever let’s the funny nightmare rectangle play trendy and pleasant sounds from car sound nozzles. While also an automated voice reads texts aloud in the name of hands-free, for all occupants (and some outside if the volume is up). And also it needs to contact info, to make calls for all the silly-fillies that want to use siri while driving. And shoot to reply to meemaw with a family photo siri needs to access your images.

Meanwhile your new infotainment system is sending all this off like a $45,000 copier that it is, sending it off in packets when it gets wifi signals, because the kids needed in-car wifi for their Xbox on road trips.
