Seconded, I use a Define 7 and it’s fantastic. Best big black box I’ve ever owned.

So Google Search, even back in 2000, was an AI?

ROFLMAO

Yeah, he’s the classic boomer model of “my point is whatever makes me correct at this immediate moment”. Check his comment history for a laugh, he gives people grief for doing the same things he’s doing here. No self awareness or integrity whatsoever.

What’s funny is how you call someone a coward elsewhere for doing the same. I guess it takes one to know one.

That’s a lot of deflection when you could have just said “I am unable to address anything you wrote” and saved so much time.

I don’t think you understand what anecdotal evidence means. One person seeing something repeatedly is still anecdotal and of similarly little value when making statements about broader trends.

You didn’t link or even reference this media coverage that specifically supports your assertion so yes, for your comment and even this one, the observation is still solely yours. We’re not mind readers, we don’t know what you’re not telling us and, in case you ask, no, we’re not going to look it up for you. If you don’t provide evidence, people online generally assume you’re making it up, and rightfully so.

A boomer thinks their anecdotal experience is indicative of anything beyond their own experience? Shocking.

And it’s SUCH a good game. I got through it with the DLC and cried at the end.

Please stop spreading misinformation. You’re on the internet. Kindly fact check yourself in the future. It’s better for everyone, including you!

I looked up the page and it gets worse.

You will need to shop for a car inverter. Find one that is at least 1,500 watts, and it will help you power your refrigerator for up to five hours—usually without damaging your car battery. Considering how much food we keep in our refrigerators, a $200 car inverter is a bargain!

Seriously. If these “media pros” are actually concerned, it appears my personal server adheres to higher standards than their industry.

I’d imagine an increasingly hostile world economy coupled with a then-looming but now beginning climate crisis might have a huge impact there.

Right now, many are! Fight back and retake our rightful place as people with rights above those of corporations.

Elden Ring had a soundtrack?! Now I need to play it again. I think I had the music volume off.

I think a lot of the Internet is going to end up shitted up with this kind of nonsense. While leaving Reddit certainly tackles one issue, having a way to filter out the rest of this shit would be useful.

🎶 Toxic marine threatened turtles, toxic marine threatened turtles, toxic marine threatened turtles. Revenge in a half shell, turtle chowder!🎶

Totally understandable, there’s always a risk that a quick, snappy comment conveys the wrong meaning. My wording definitely could have been better, but I’m leaving it for posterity so future generations might learn to do better.

And thanks to you too! Good conversation.

I agree with your point, but want to highlight that at no point did I suggest people can’t be upset about multiple things. No offense intended toward you personally (or anyone really), but your response now seems to be the standard reaction to shut down anyone pointing out the disparity in media/public reaction between things like people dying or being repressed and material goods being vandalized or destroyed. It’s getting better, but the theme of reporting tended to be that property damage is a tragic loss of irreplaceable treasure, while genocide was more akin to “some people went to sleep and didn’t wake up again, maybe they should have complied”.

Of course people can be upset by multiple things. When the magnitude of upset over precious but ultimately replaceable things being destroyed is greater than that for irreplaceable people being destroyed, then we have a problem.

At least that’s my take and I’m anything but infallible.

Oh no, a painting! So much more important and relatable than children dying. That happens all the time.

Edit: I’m agreeing with the above point, folks. Lives are more important than paintings. We need a lot more outrage about people dying and less about property damage.
