Honestly, I'm bummed that we're not getting Strife's story. I thought this was going to be his game.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but can we fucking move past Khan already?

You're right that I assumed you were in the USA, but as you said, no country is without racism. Unfortunately, you're also right that It's nowhere near as bad in many other countries as it is here (unfortunate that it's gotten so bad in the US, not that other countries aren't on the same page).

*you will anyway

The only way "they" will is if they're white. And not just any white, the right kind of white. The kind of white that white can be proud of.

*disclaimer: I felt fucking gross writing that, and feel it's my responsibility to say FUCK RACISTS.

For anyone wondering what the fuck that title meant:

OpenAI research lead Lisa Fulford told Wired that she used Agent to order "a lot of cupcakes," which took the tool about an hour, because she was very specific about the cupcakes.

"It was easier than me doing it myself," Fulford said, "because I didn't want to do it."

I was going off the first large scale successful implementation of electric streetcars, not the first streetcar.

Frank Sprague installed a complete system of electric streetcars in Richmond, Virginia, in 1888. This was the first large-scale and successful use of electricity to run a city's entire system of streetcars.

I honestly don't know how PlayStation Stars ever got greenlit. Did they seriously think that anyone would use their points for random digital collectibles that serve absolutely zero purpose? I honestly don't even know how you would view them. Presumably only in the PlayStation app? Of course everyone used the points for wallet funds. There was no other logical option.

That was 70 years ago. The gap between now and the 1950s is larger than the gap between the first successful implementation of electric street cars and the 1950s.

I went to work for a company in an entry-level, unskilled position. That company had a mentality of hiring from within and training for positions rather than hiring qualified external candidates. Because of that company, I managed to develop a career and am currently making over 6 times what I was earning when I started there 12 years ago. I'm no longer at the same company, but I am incredibly grateful for how lucky I was for things to fall into place the way they did.

I don't know who that is.

They added an "auto drive" mechanic and variable refresh rate support.
