What’s the point then? I pay for a game that I’m not even playing just so, what, my numbers of “completed” games goes up?

I’m someone who likes seeing the stats go up as I watch anime. But I do it naturally and over time. This AI idea is like if I were to start an anime, put it on auto-play while I sleep, and when I wake up it’ll be done, without me seeing a single scene.

Perhaps a dumb question, but I’m not from the U.S, so a genuine question here: Why might the Superbowl be a way for a lot of Americans to learn about ICE?

This is the second comment I see mentioning Upscrolled, and the first I see mentioning Cara. Up until like two minutes ago, I have not heard about either of those, and I think I don’t want to hear about them anyway. I haven’t been using TikTok or Instagram anyway, so I don’t really need a replacement for those apps.

Yeah, it’s just like with cookies. Sure, even without an Adblocker and all that, you could disable the cookies, but that means pressing several more buttons to disable all of the things. So, I feel like most people unfortunately just press accept and move on because it’s the quickest way to get to the information they were searching for.

I feel like this will end up being a cycle. The AI companies are pushing for AI summaries, which then leads to younger Gen Z and the new Gen Alpha being familiar with and preferring AI summaries. This, in turn, leads to other companies implementing AI summaries because they see that’s what the new generations are using, which leads to the new generations being even more accustomed to those summaries, which leads to more companies implementing them, and it’s just an endless cycle.

Oh, for sure. I wouldn’t want that. To be fair, I just want to not be looked at weird for never having been in a relationship more than I want a relationship at this point.

That’s not to say that I would want a horrible relationship just so I can say “I was in a relationship”. But oddly enough some people would view me better if that happened, because it means I was able to attract someone.

Spot on! There is some overlap for sure, but I don’t agree with the notion that if you can’t get a relationship, it means you’re a conservative.

I’ve never dated and am not conservative at all, but I sometimes feel like I’m looked at with suspicion by other leftists when I mention this.

I sometimes see someone being sad about not having had a partner, and someone will reply stuff like “Have you tried not being sexist?”, even if there’s nothing in the post to indicate that they are sexist. But some people immediately assume that, because never dating but being progressive does not compute for them.

I’m not who you were replying to, but I agree and disagree with your comment.

I’m not saying someone can’t be happy single. But society makes it hard to be when the world revolves around relationships, being a virgin is used as an insult, etc.

But I do agree with you that not everyone needs to have a partner. I don’t see myself ever getting into a relationship, and to some extent I’m often close to making peace with that, until I see a post, a comment, a video, etc, that makes me feel inferior due to it.

I do appreciate, though, the fact that you admit not everyone needs to have a relationship and that not everyone will have one. I’ll take this approach every day of the week over the “Naaah, I’m sure you will be in a relationship soon cause everyone does!”, followed by moving the goalpost (it’s always “soon” regardless of how many years have passed).

That is something I never understood about Christianity: Why would God place equal importance to “being a good person” and “believe in me or else”?

To me it seems like being a good person should be way more important. But in practice it seems like believing in God is the key and everything else is secondary, like you can be an asshole but just make sure you’re a believer.

“That was a typo, we meant it’s gonna be the last Windows you’ll ever want, not need” -Microsoft probably.

This is why I cannot dislike the 67 meme. I don’t actively like it or anything but we have our own funny number and there were 42 as well and 21 for a while.

There are definitely things to criticize about the new generation, I am not denying that, but finding a number amusing is too inoffensive for me to care.
