Yeah, I was just poking at what I assumed was a day off the cuff response. Didn’t occur to me they might have tried formatting it, and failed.

Thanks for breaking them out!

…what kind of game is that?!

Do they do different dialogue styles well? I could see using it for NPC chatter

Right now, it’s just a fun toy, prone to hallucinations.

That’s the thing though - with an LLM, it’s all “hallucinations”. They’re just usually close to reality, and are presented with an authoritative, friendly voice.

(Or, in your case, they’re usually close to the established game reality!)

Yep, this is how I understood the story. For whatever reason, God considered himself bound by the rules he laid down, and so worked the system to break everyone out of it.

It’s based on the old idea of offering sacrifices to atone for sins. Do bad thing, sacrifice a dove or whatever to God to make up for it.

The idea is that God decided to do away with the sacrifice system using said system, by sending and then accepting a sacrifice great and pure enough to wipe the slate clean forevermore - his own self/son.

I’ve heard that it hits people from cultures where they do still sacrifice for every sin particularly hard - we might not have the frame of reference to really get this fully anymore.

The d in “dick” doesn’t quite have the top of the round part connected to the vertical part, so it looks like “click” - a homophone of “clique”

Yeah, from the article, it sounds like only a few organizations were in the lawsuit. They’re the only ones the judge ordered restored.

Doesn’t say it wasn’t an apple!

… let’s maybe stay away from genocide, hm?

I mean, he’s set the precedent - apparently it’s now allowed for a country to just snatch the leader of a sovereign nation and run off with them

Eh, the passive aggression didn’t really come in until her answer was described as hobbies, in what seems like an unflattering manner. There were probably better ways to handle it, but this was more entertaining!

I have honestly never heard the term SJW applied to a Karen.

To continue the analogy: He asks her why she fights fires, and in response to her explanation, talks about the benefits of fire-retardant foam over water. She then realizes he smells of gasoline.

The comic is pointing out needlessly divisive behavior on his part - she’s already working on one aspect of the class division, and he’s pushing for her to spread out and weaken her efforts.

Any examples? I mostly remember the term being applied to the Greta Thunbergs of the day.

On the contrary, a skilled orator adjusts the message to suit the audience, and a skilled craftsman chooses the tool best suited to the task.

However, your intent here seems to be primarily to offend, rather than to convince or persuade, as evidenced by both your word choice and the direction of your statements - this is your choice of course, and I will similarly choose to ignore it!

Somehow whenever people bemoaned “social justice warriors”, I always pictured Lex Luthor slandering Superman.

It’s unfair to judge a word that has over 500 years of use on the last 70 years of history.

A bridge that has stood for 500 years can be considered unusable today due to recent developments.

The word clearly isn’t having the effect you say you want. The solution isn’t to bemoan the poor treatment of the word - the solution is to change the word you use.

You have many options - be creative!

We’ve seen that happen with using “gay” as an insult - society has shifted over the years, so that being gay is no longer seen as a bad thing

I don’t remember that “just happening”… I remember prominent members of the homosexual community deciding to reclaim the word “gay”, and then working to bring the more neutral connotations into the mainstream - and that effort is still ongoing.

The people targeted by the slur had to have the resources and ability to change public perception before that could happen, and it took a considerable, concerted effort. It did not just “shift”, and that process is not equally available to every target of a slur.

The problems with deciding things are “equal-ish” have already been well addressed, so I just want to point out - just because the billionaire class might use a topic as a wedge issue against us doesn’t excuse us from working to fix it.

They might be setting fire to houses as a distraction, but the houses are still on fire. The people inside can’t wait for us to find and deal with whoever hired the arsonists.
