Me: Can you let me just drag and drop?
Teams: No, fuck you. Click “Add file”.

I think the concern initially was that cold brew may be more prone to bacterial contamination than normal coffee, because it has lower acidity and the water used to make it is not boiled. But like the study you linked found, it seems to be safe at least when refrigerated.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 2 weeks ago:
God of War has two big strengths that make it a great game in my opinion. The first is the story with its great characters, presentation, and voice acting. The second is the overall “feel” of the game, which can be a bit “game-y” at times but is really tight overall with only a handful of core mechanics that are exceptionally well implemented.

Eh, IMO it’s more like four methods stacked on top of each other wearing a trench coat.

Using the power of AI, you too could send your boss emails that read like the following, completely hassle-free:
“Certainly, here is a version of your email without slurs or aggressive phrasing.
Dear Fred,

- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 2 weeks ago:
Assuming that “masterpiece” refers to how the games worked in their time (not how well they aged) some of my picks would be:
- Baldur’s Gate 2 + ToB
- Morrowind
- Read Dead Redemption 2
- The Witcher 3
- The Last of Us 1+2
- God of War
- The Legend of Zelda: BOTW
- Mass Effect 1+2
- Half Life 2
- BioShock 1
- Diablo 2

Actually, this is Stannis Baratheon from The Witcher.

- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s success caused the dev team to reconsider how it should approach future DLC 3 weeks ago:
Never said it was undeserved. The devs did a lot of things right, and they deserve all the positive feedback they get. It just didn’t click with me personally in a way that I felt like I needed to add to the hype.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s success caused the dev team to reconsider how it should approach future DLC 3 weeks ago:
It’s pretty good, although I think the hype is a bit over the top. The game is well done, enjoyable, and plays a lot like a modern JRPG (think Persona 5 and others).

Reviewer 2 didn’t read my paper and makes it my problem. Trump didn’t read a book in his life and makes it the world’s problem.

My cat was already a batshit weirdo when we met him at the shelter. But that was partly the reason we ended up adopting him. He fits in, and we love him.

There’s a direct correlation between the usage of the term “direct correlation” and being an absolute imbecile.

What do you think about the game overall so far? My girlfriend loves AC but was pretty disappointed in Valhalla and kind of meh about Mirage.

- Comment on Whose bright idea was it to give the morning people enough power to set the "business hours" anyways‽ 2 months ago:
As an extreme “owl”, I’m also on that journey, although it remains a struggle. What helped me a lot is to set an alarm in the evening to trigger my evening routine without depending on my internal sense of time. My preference is still different, hence the struggle, but my body accommodated to the routine fairly quickly.

No downvotes from me. I cycle every day, it’s my only mode of transportation, and the number of poorly adjusted lights on other people’s bikes is staggering.

The left side is the position that definitions of intelligence are all arbitrary, and that psychologists just make up tests and call what it measures “intelligence.”
The middle is the position that there is a real thing that can be called “intelligence,” which can be defined in different (meaningful) ways, and that intelligence tests are objective ways to measure it.
The right side is the position that intelligence is still real and can still be defined in different ways, but that we can never directly measure intelligence and instead observe it indirectly through observable indicators like someone’s performance on an intelligence test. This means that any statement about intelligence, while real and definable, are contingent on the specific tests used to measure it.
