Ok, but controlling for population doesn't actually make it better for you guys. You're still far and away the number one in number of mass shootings. By orders of magnitude.
Note that there is a really bad outdated study that puts US in the number 11 (and it's not relevant, because it's really outdated by now. I suspect that because of these frequent record breaks, it would look bad even with the fuckery), because they did a lot statistical fuckery to make it so. It's too long of an explanation to write out what they did.
However, you can just use the average for number of mass shootings per year/month/week and you propel to the top like a rocket.
So, yes it's more than just "Americans dumb", but everything points to the fact that US is rotten to the core, and lack of gun control is definitely part of the problem. Poverty, inequality, police violence, lack of social programs (because fuck commies, fam) and so forth... But while it's not unique to US, it's definitely typical US problem.
Hmm, I haven't played it. I avoid everything epic store stuff (even though I would have gotten it for free, since I'm childhood friends with one of the devs). So I'm curious, what's the problem? I've heard like three people say that it's their game of the year already, so I'm curious what's the issue for you?
That'd be more meaningful if Bethesda had ever managed to create a story with any worth. Sometimes the bones of a decent story are there, but the execution is usually amateur hour.
Yes. Honestly it's crazy how much people read into ChatGPT, when in practice it's effectively just a dice roller that depends in incredibly big dataset to guess what's the most likely word to come next.
There's been some research about this, the fact that people are assigning intelligence into things that ML does. Because it doesn't compute for us that something can appear to make sense without actually having any intelligence. To humans, the appearance of the intelligence is enough to assume intelligence - even if it's just a result of a complicated dice roller.
Just curious, is it a slur or a contraction? Like calling Finnish as "Finn" or Aboriginals as "Abo"? I mean, I'm Finnish and I don't find the Finn as insulting. Not that I actually have a horse in this race but to me it sounded like a contraction of a word rather than a slur.
In finland everyone I know uses WhatsApp, and my friend circle and family also use Signal. So, eh.
That's got nothing to do with "reactive". Although it seems absurd that I would have to even clarify this for someone.
Wizard of the Coast license fiasco is about the same. Except of course that "confidence in your product" is a bit of a misnomer. It's not a confidence in the D&D, but the license. A lot of people were trusting the OGL, and the changes would have fucked over half of the industry with their "retroactive" changes.
Sorry to tell you, but it's the game they promised. People just get really caught up on the influencer speculations, and/or wanted specific things to be implemented differently than they were. So, sorry that you listened to parasocial parasites, I guess? There's things that they said "are working on" or "planning" or "hoping", but everything they "promised" except wall running is in the game, it just might not be in a form people imagined it to be.
