Not disagreeing, but fascists cannot be judged by their word. Their word is worthless. Language is just a game for them, a means to an end.

Crunch uses scammy tactics to stop you from canceling. They lied to me twice to my face. Tried to charge me a fee too on cancel. Can also only cancel in person at the original signup gym. Pick a better business to deserve your money.

Neither of these topics should even be drawing media attention, considering how frequent and non-notable they are. They just report on this stuff every day because it's cheaper and easier than exclusively finding and reporting on real notable local news, and television news needs filler content for selling ad spots. Ever had a day where there was no news, and they ended early?

It's not "learning" anything. It's a computer program outputting text it was modelled to output.

Idk if this anatomy is accurate for terrestrial snails too, but to be fair for aquatic snails the turds float away immediately.

In India, this kind of thing is common, especially when the beggars are children.

Praying is just talking to your imaginary friend, and having it tell back to you what you want to hear.

These elected representatives are no more mentally developed than elementary school children. Must be from a state full of lead pipes.

"I don't live on this property, I just use it for storing my RV."

Tall shrubs/trees all around, get a PO box. Don't show your neighbors around.

Exactly what is going to compel local police to get a warrant to enter the property and somehow confirm you live in that RV full time?

These kinds of laws are crafted by elected legislators who are either truly inept, or only interested in performative gestures to boost their image. A law without realistic enforceability is mostly imaginary, and primarily serves just to tack extra charges onto some other sentence a person got for breaking a law local police actually enforce.

But, it takes a lot of work by designers to get the fake lighting to look natural. Raytracing would help avoid that toil if the game is forced RT.

don't understand what they've written

Well first of all, they didn't write it.

 

I had a thought the other day in relation to how impossible it is for a large country to make everyone happy with broad policies. There are big differences in opinions, values, economics, and cultures across a population. What one city, county, province, etc prefers for policy seems to be universally be overridden by "higher level" governance levels going to the top if they so choose. Are there any countries where lower level, more specific jurisdictions get to set policy overrides instead of vice versa? Like, a place where nationwide laws are defaults, but smaller hierarchies can pass laws to supercede the higher defaults?
