It's a cheaper option, to allow your uber to "carpool", I.E. Your uber can pick up other passengers heading in the same direction to be more efficient, thus justifying your discount.
You can see why it'd be a jerk move to then get mad at the other passengers, who had no idea who they'd be pooling with, and how insane it would be to use it on the way to your wedding.
Haha, I think they should have made that option 0%, to further the paradox
I'm not certain, I think it's an infinite loop.
I.E. If the answer is 25%, you have a 50% chance, if the answer is 50%, you have a 25% chance, if the answer is 25%, you have a 50% chance...
Yeah, I totally ate the onion on this headline lol, it's basically just saying the quiet part out loud, which he does all the time.
This is my main thought. Once the immediate threat of Trump is past, the country will return to the global standard of "elect whoever wasn't running things when everything got worse". I hope the liberals see that writing on the wall and put electoral reform in place so that the smaller parties stand a chance and aren't all killed by the usual "strategic voting" nonsense.
I really think it's Canada's best shot at not electing a Conservative majority when the party seems to be at peak crazy. I'd really rather not count on them returning to the center over the next 4 years when global politics is more divided than I've ever seen.
Nothing like the games you're describing, but Tunic is an utter delight, and was made by an amazing solo dev in Halifax!
At this point I think it's just fun. So much of the conversation around Elon is deadly serious, doom and gloom, and this is just... lighthearted mocking about something that doesn't matter. It's a refreshing change.
And it does seem to matter to him, so undermining that image he works hard to curate is an added bonus. And hell, if Path of Exile is what makes someone realize what a pathetic lying moron he can be, then that's fantastic as well, even if it's an odd thing to have that epiphany for.
Yeah, HDR is one of my main hangups as well. Very interested in moving my living room gaming PC over (the only place I deal with Windows), but I need a lot of things to just work with little to no hassle, and also no hit to performance. I didn't build a very expensive PC for a compromised experience, as much as Windows is regularly a massive PITA.
This is uh... one of the worst examples of "internet horoscope" I've ever read lol. I've been diagnosed, am currently unmedicated, and resonate with... practically none of this.
And one of them is literally "explaining things with metaphors". That's one of the most generic things I've heard in my life lol.
Not nearly the same, but I had a similarly odd experience in that I worked from home for years prior to Covid. For a while, the biggest change for me was that suddenly my coworkers were scheduling "beers over zoom" and other such oddities to not go crazy over... my daily routine.
First time I'd spoken to many of them since going remote and moving away. Was kinda grateful when they all seemed to get bored of that and returned to leaving me alone lol.
Since then, I've switched to a different job, where the whole team is generally remote, and have much better relationships with my coworkers, which is nice.
Yeah, at a fundamental level it requires an elected leader to change the system that just elected them. It'll never be in their best interest.
Eh, kinda how the dictionary needs to work. It's meant to be used to understand the language, so the dictionary can't hold strong opinions and argue against how it's used and remain useful.
I.E. Let's say English is my second language, and I read something like "OMG I would literally kill myself." And I go look up "literally" I'm a dictionary. If the very common antonym usage of it isn't listed as a second definition, I'll totally misunderstand.
So as much as we may not love that a word is flipping to mean its opposite, it is what it is and it's not the role of the dictionary to take up that fight.
