Somewhere down the line we replaced gags and jokes with “relatability” as a stand-in for humor

Relatability has always been a pretty crucial component of comedy.

I haven’t really heard many of them, but I haven’t heard one I like yet. Like, that I would listen to just because it’s a banger of a song.

I can only think of one good reason, and only for a refrigerator: Fridges could tell you what’s inside without opening them and order shit for you automatically when low on something.

But that would require the AI to not suck complete ass at doing those things. You’re better off with just making the door see through and ordering shit when you see something low with your own eyeballs.

Bigger screen, smaller pocket size.

They also break easier so you have to buy more phones.

Self-checkout, every time, anywhere it’s available. It’s faster and I don’t have to talk to anyone.

A group of friends in high school had a band and their final show before splitting up and going all to different colleges was the best live concert ever.

First of all, they were extremely good. I think they could have made it big if they ever took it seriously and sent demos to recording companies.

But second was how they set up the venue. They held it at another friend’s skatepark built into a barn on their property, and the band wanted everyone in the audience to crowd around them as close as possible. I was right up in the singer’s face and it was like the concert was just for me. Just so fucking awesome.

The shitty kicker is… I can not remember what they called themselves at the time. I only remember their original name before they changed it: Kill the Messenger.

DLSS5 is blending upscaling tech with GenAI to “enhance” the image by destroying the actual artistic work that made it to try and make it more “realistic.”

I do agree with older versions being used as a crutch, tho. It’s not the tech in that case, but how the majority of the industry is using it.

Just genAI. Up/downscalers, noise reducers, and other tools are also “AI,” but those are actually tools. GenAI isn’t a tool; it’s for tools.

Laziness.

So… How many of them had engaged in beastiality prior to being hired? 🤔

I just realized it doesn’t even need to be reborn to “take on streaming.” Y’all with home servers and a big music collection can just start hosting Shoutcasts again and we can use the OG Winamp to stream. :P

Most of the stuff people call out as cultural appropriation is literally not. They’re just virtue signalling white knights that think appreciating another culture is stealing said culture.

Cooking dishes from another place is not cultural appropriation. Especially if Jamie Oliver is the one cooking. Tho I do understand the fears of a British man liking your culture’s stuff and believing they want to steal it.

Uh… Which one? The biggest one on Lemmy is actually a troll/circlejerk community making fun of conservatives.

It’s 100% the entire contents of the box I keep physical porn and sex toys in.

I find it funny that Steam says I have over 1000 hours in CS2 despite only actually playing like 2 or 3 matches of CS2 because CSGO became CS2.

Every job I’ve ever had.

I don’t play and am not interesting in playing Rocket League anymore; but I still watch an occasional pro match.

IMO, it’s only misleading in that it doesn’t express the quantity needed to really negatively impact your health. A single candy bar ain’t gonna lead to diabetes. But eating 50 a day very well could.

If they use their money to do evil shit, like funding wars against queer people, then giving them money actively supports funding wars against queer people. That makes sense.

What doesn’t make sense is throwing away/destroying decades old media becsuse it was discovered last week that the artist who made it was, in fact, a piece of shit. That’s not hurting them nor is it sending a message. Just don’t buy any new shit from 'em.

That point is much closer to your mouth than it is the other end of the system.
