Fair enough!

Yeah exactly, and welcome!

It stands for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt.

I’ll be honest, though, I only really ever see it used in borderline cult-like environments, like cryptocurrency or Star Citizen. It’s a very weird term to use IMO

How was the Jack in the Box thing FUD?

Alan Wake 2 and Control are fantastic!

I’d argue not, you can’t have reproducible experiments with control groups. You can’t really follow the scientific method with economics and politics.

It’s not scientific lol

Someone else looked to the group claiming responsibility for this. It’s a pro-Palestinian Russian group

It’s a turn of phrase lol

Remedy has been working on this game for years, and it looks like Control, not like a random paranormal game IMO. If you haven’t played Control then I can’t recommend it enough! It is such a fun game with a unique and incredible atmosphere.

What financial woes?? I didn’t know Remedy had any financial problems?

What “evidence”? Lmfao what the fuck are you talking about?

I’d argue we have lots of evidence that people who believe things strongly without evidence are dumb.

I have aphantasia, and people really struggle to comprehend what it means or what it’s like. Now to be fair, I don’t really comprehend how people without aphantasia think or process things either.

1. Were your front forks resting on the ground, or up in the air?

No idea, all I could think was that the front tire was missing, it didn’t occur to me to think how that affected the bikes position.

2. Was there any other damage done to your bike or to the lock?

I didn’t think about there being any damage.

3. Are there any other bikes nearby? People nearby? Security cameras that might have caught the crime?

I had just thought of a bike rack with only my bike, no people or other bikes nearby. Looking for security cameras seems obvious now that you mention it, but I didn’t think of that. If you had said “what advice would you give if your friend walked out and found their bike had been stolen/vandalized” I probably would have thought of that, but trying to think of an abstract situation is much more difficult for me.

With all due respect, I don’t believe aphantasia is a real thing.

It does, it’s a studied and proven condition. No idea why you wouldn’t believe it lol

LLMs are great for things that don’t have to be tied to facts and the real world. I’ve used it for parody songs or for brainstorming character ideas.

Are there any major languages that actually struggle to be typed today?

So our population has increased by 50% and you expect our energy demands to stay the same or decrease? All countries have increased energy production, including China, I’m not sure why you’re making this sound like a US centric problem.

You weren’t talking about wealth, you said that our energy consumption continued to rise.

It’s almost like our population has continued to increase for the last 30 years

Did I misremember something, or is my memory easily influenced by external stimuli? No, the Mandela Effect must be real!
