I thought they already did? When I was a kid I wasn’t able to talk to people until I was 13, so I made a new account and said I was older.

Man I’ve had enough bad news for one week :(

If you’re into Pokemon and have access to the GBA/DS ROMs, PokeMMO is a great emulator that adds online MMO features to the first 5 generations of Pokemon. You can take one character across all 5 regions, and there’s tons of QoL features.

I suggest you do not take the “Deluxe” version and sitck to the original one

Why?

We’re about due for another flood if you ask me

I’m too lazy to memorize alt codes

Because nobody is saying

“Clearly all articles about AI should be about how it will turn the world into a utopia where everyone is well-fed, healthy and able to do whatever they want with their time and for god’s sake, no one mention the massive ecological catastrophe they’re making a huge contribution to.”

The guy you’re responding to is criticizing the article for being *"*one-sided and pessimistic" and your response is basically “you just want everyone to fellate AI corpos all day”? That’s just another one-sided take, for one, and for two, the only time I ever hear it is from comments like yours.

I’m tired of reading articles that, rather than having any semblance of nuance, opt for one of the two extreme ends of the debate because they know it’ll get them more clicks, even if it’s at the cost of further polarizing the internet.

And in the comments it’s as if people believe the only valid takes are the ones handed down to us in the media written by corporate shills and emotionally charged creators. It’s possible to think AI is a cool step forward for computer science and that it’s severely flawed in its current state. It’s possible to think that corporate data scraping has raised major privacy concerns and we should train AI more ethically. It’s possible to think AI is consuming a concerning amount of power and resources and we should find better ways to do it.

But the lack of nuance is better for engagement 🙄

I know right, who needs nuance? Just adopt one of two strawmen and don’t think too critically about your side of the debate.

What? The current events are an attempt on someone’s life with the goal of saving what semblance of democracy we have left.

Did y’all seriously miss the memo? It’s pretty obvious what he meant if you haven’t been under a rock for the last 24hrs.

Reminds me of the people who taught their bird to say “mom beats me! oOoOoOoOo”

Why are you showing me a circle

Einstein believed in “Spinoza’s god”, which is essentially just nature and the laws that govern the universe. It’s not the same as believing in an anthropomorphic God and putting faith in scripture.

This is one of those reasons I always call myself an agnostic instead of atheist.

Those aren’t mutually exclusive terms. “Agnostic” answers whether you know a god exists, and “atheist” answers whether you believe a god exists.

I don’t know of any gods, and I don’t believe any exist, so I’m an agnostic atheist.

That’s right. Then after the Israelites were freed, Moses, claiming to be speaking for God, gave them permission to take slaves of their own from the nations around them. Before that, they were told how merciless they could be when bludgeoning those slaves.

The Bible portrays this as moral behavior, and the excuses you’ve given me aren’t convincing. I don’t think there is any excuse for it, but I’m all ears if you want to give it a shot.

The most reliable way to lose faith isn’t through science, it’s reading their holy text.

In general, nothing about science ever shakes a theist’s faith, and I doubt it ever will. Reason being: the moment science breaks new ground, religion retreats further back into the unknown. As long as there is an unknown, theists will have something to take shelter from.

##Old Testament

#####Exodus 21:20-21 (NIV):

“And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.”

##New Testament

#####Ephesians 6:5 (NIV):

“Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as you obey Christ”

#####1 Timothy 6:1 (NIV):

“All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that God’s name and our teaching may not be slandered. Those who have believing masters should not show them disrespect just because they are fellow believers. Instead, they should serve them even better because their masters are dear to them as fellow believers and are devoted to the welfare of their slaves.”

Violent silence coming from @MuntedCrocodile@lemm.ee lmao

When I joined in MoP it was still peer-to-peer by default

After finishing these two fights (I’m at the Nameless Puppet now🫠), however, I kind of feel like I’ve robbed myself of a “worthy” victory because it was soo much easier with the summons than without them.

There is no “right way to play,” just what you find most satisfying. There’s merit to both this and playing without summons.

If you don’t have the patience to pull off a more satisfying victory you can always go back and beat them solo later.

I’m a very big fan.
