You’re talking about two different things here.

I'm really not. This very thread is full of comments acting like Elon is a moron for making his stupid "joke", literally playing into his hand. As @[email protected] said, he's doing the "turbulent priest" thing.

I still don't understand how anyone here (or on the internet in general, for that matter) is still asking "Is Elon stupid? Is he a moron?" in response to stuff like this.

Elon's a jackass, but he clearly knows what he's doing with this. He's inciting political violence and then acting like it was an edgy joke as a way to give himself probable deniability. Dude's an asshole, but he's not literally brain dead.

I was having this discussion with a coworker after Apple's event where they talked about their image scanning AI. Like, if someone takes a picture of me, and sends it to the AI's servers, they'll use it as training data, but I haven't consented to it. So how does taking it down work?

It's obviously a rhetorical question. They obviously won't, and they'll tell me to pound sand.

In this case, it seems like it's the app makers themselves who are requiring the Play Store, though. Unless I'm misreading this, the developers are using the Integrity API to determine if the app was installed through "official channels" (in this case, the Play Store). Feels like people should be upset at the companies behind the apps, here.

The litter box thing annoys me so much. Like, do you have any idea how quickly that shit would fucking go viral if it were true? Like, every damn kid would post about it online. It's so fucking stupid!

Keep in my that "ingredients to a recipe" here refers to the literal physical ingredients, based on the context of the OP (where a sandwich shop owner can't afford to pay for their cheese).

While you can't copyright a recipe, you can patent the ingredients themselves, especially if you had a hand in doing R&D to create it. See PepsiCo sues four Indian farmers for using its patented Lay's potatoes.

I think "common" here would refer to having to produce them, over the actual explicitness of the scene. Whether Mass Effect fades to black or not isn't really the point when the voice actors still have to record the lines that play while the screen is dark.

Yeah, what they're asking for is pretty standard stuff in other media. A friend of mine is an actor who played a scene where he had to shoot a masturbation scene. He was alone in a room with like 3-4 people: sound guy, camera guy, director, and I think the intimacy coach was there too.

Having a whole team watch you pretend to have sex is not okay, what the hell.

Wake me up when the “Congress” actually decides to take actions not just ask “questions” after the damage is done and money is made.

Right. Into Cryo-Sleep you go, then!

The post made me look him up (it's been years since I've seen him in anything) and I just learned that good ol' Lyle McDouchebag was a voice actor in Class of '09. TIL.

Same. Elden Ring's biggest weakness is its open world, in my opinion. It makes the first playthrough great, but it makes subsequent playthroughs a chore. Especially when you're aware that 90% of dungeons/side areas have completely worthless gear and runes. Your subsequent runs just end up being you riding Torrent for long stretches of time from point A to point B.

That’s the issue, Musk and all think they are the resistance.

Pretty sure Stephanie was saying the people still using Twitter love to think they'd join the resistance, but won't even stop using Twitter. Not that Elon thinks he's the resistance.
