Large Majority of Americans Want to End Electoral College
  • I think it was less overt racism, but still pretty racist.

    But mostly because Classism and Racism were pretty intertwined back in the day, what with non-white people essentially being entirely disallowed from actually being a higher class.

  • OpenAI Execs Mass Quit as Company Removes Control From Non-Profit Board and Hands It to Sam Altman
  • Does it get contaminated with something like the cooling water of a nuclear power plant?

    This doesn't happen unless the reactor was sabotaged. Cooling water that interacts with the core is always a closed-loop system. For exactly this reason.

  • I saw a car the other day and wanted to show my friend a pic later, but forgot which one it was. Can I get help finding it from a description?

    The name of the brand and car was stamped onto the side, in front of the driver's door, in that stamped metal lettering. It was some cursive font. I don't exactly remember what it said, and I already tried searching on my own, but I think it said corvette c2 or something like that. I may be misremembering entirely, but it was definitely <brand><letter><number>

    It had 6 rear red taillights, rectangular in shape, oriented vertically, in 2 groups of 3 on each side of the car. Like -> ||| |||

    The car was red (I realize this likely doesn't help, but it's here anyway), with a spoiler. It was either a convertible, or had no roof at all.

    The brand logo at the front of the car was not standing up on an ornament.

    When I tried searching, I just couldn't find the taillight orientation at all, let alone the right car :D

    It was fairly boxy and angular, which makes me think it's a bit older.

    If there's any other details that might be helpful, ask and I might remember.

    What games popularized certain mechanics?
  • DLC is literally just DownLoadeable Content

    So like... I don't get the hate for a specific method of providing content. Like, there's obviously a difference between Factorio's Space Age, and what The Sims does, even though they are both DLC.

  • Kamala Harris unveils populist policy agenda, with $6,000 credit for newborns
  • True, but giving money for free isn’t a proper way of fighting with poverty.

    It literally is. Study after study proves just giving people money with no strings attached gives massive benefits for essentially no net cost.

    The fact that you don't know this proves you either ignore this, or don't search anything to confirm you're correct.

  • US Court Rules Google a Monopoly in 'Biggest Antitrust Case of the 21st Century'.
  • Steam has no competitors because nobody is competing with them, not because they are forcing nobody to compete with them.

    Steam isn't abusing their dominant position to prevent competition. Other companies could make their own storefront and compete with steam. Nobody does in a way that's actually comparable to steam.

    Steam has a monopoly, but it's not because steam is actively keeping it that way.

  • The AI-focused COPIED Act would make removing digital watermarks illegal (as well as training any kind of AI on copyrighted content)
  • The whole purpose of art is to be an outlet for expressing ourselves as human beings. It exists out of this need for expression; part of what makes a work worth appreciating is the human person(s) behind that said work and the effort and skill they put into making it.

    This is completely and utterly your own opinion, not a fact. I know several people who can't draw for shit, due to various reasons, but now AI allows them to create images they enjoy. One of them has aphantasia (They literally cannot imagine images).

    This is basically trying to argue there's only 1 correct way to make "art", which is complete and utter bullshit. Imagine trying to say that a sculpture isn't art because it was 3D printed instead of chiseled. It makes 0 sense for the method of making the art to impact whether or not it is art. "Expression" can take many forms. Why is this form invalid?
