Agreed, the toxic assholes have been here since the beginning, everyone else is just finally pushing back.

Any trademarks they need because Nintendo have allegedly been filing new patents mid-lawsuit in order to justify suing palworld.

Cultural difference perhaps? I’ve always known it to be more specific, still roughly that but usually the replacement item is visually very similar and the victim accepts it after previously being shown a similar but non-shitty version. Like those black friday TVs you get in the US that look just like the brand name ones people expect them to be but are actually shittier electronics shoved into the same casings. The switch is meant to happen before purchase.

Yes but bait and switch has less negative connotations and implies some cleverness on the part of the fraduster. Nothing even remotely clever was done here, Tesla made a deal and then flat out broke it Trump Style.

‘bait-and-switch’ They’ll really call it anything but fraud huh.

I am precisely in the middle of this chart.

human-level? Have these people used chat GPT?

Probably because stopping to self analyze your decisions is a lot less effective than just running away from that lion over there.

I dunno I can see it being done, go in first with a drone and blind the cameras one by one (not hard to rig it up with spray paint) then grab the goods, pick an isolated section of the route so you’re gone by the time anyone comes looking.

I for one predict a glorious era of road pirates.

The US has an extreme left? the US has a left!?

Final Fantasy 7 has a lot of mini versions of this moment because the level art is rarely distinguished from the actual terrain you can interact with so sometimes you kinda get stuck until you realise that this time that little ramp is actually something your supposed to walk up rather than un-interactable scenery like all those previous times.

There seems to be a lot more customization than in previous games so they’re probably going for a bit of a blank slate feel.

The US used its soft power to pump the dollar, part of that was selling bonds to other countries to help secure its place as the reserve currency. Japan is threatening to dump that pump.

KSP1 also had 0 OG devs by the end so KSP2 was sort of doomed from the start.

The gameification part was good, it made it easier to keep up the habbit, though I recently got locked out for no apparent reason so apparently they just outright want to fail? Any good free alternatives? (I wasn’t using the paid version)

Exactly, AI by definition cannot detect AI generated content because if it knew where the mistakes were it wouldn’t make them.

Its weirder than that, had someone on lemmy try to convince me that deportations, purity tests and fascism are all far left policies. Its like they’re trying to shift all their own shit onto some imaginary other.

But tankies almost universally want authoritarianism and dictatorships? those are far right positions. The left tends to want some flavour of socialist democracy. Tankies are left like China is communist.

Tankies have almost nothing in common with the far left outisde teenagers who haven’t worked out the fundemental flaws with communism yet. Beyond those teenagers most left wing folk consider tankies to be pretty right wing.

You’re making it sound way harder than it is, The US has like 4? substations that if they all went down at once it would cascade fail about 90% of the grid, they aren’t in bunkers or surrounded by armed guards or anything, they’re random ass substations with chain link fences around them.
