Yes, but I was thinking something as simple as “I’m cold, and I want to turn the fan off,” requiring looking down long enough for court to say it’s a phone. Adjusting literally anything can make it less straightforward, regardless of actual action. But yes, I only see an interior camera as a disadvantage.

I have a Japanese restaurant nearby that I don’t like. Hibachi place, only one for miles, really wanted hibachi. The chef was very… something. He declared himself as Mexican but went on a rant about how when he goes to a Chinese place, he expects Chinese to work there. You can’t complain about a problem in which you are actively participating. I personally don’t care as long as it’s good and at least somewhat authentic.

It’s creepy. And it may make me an asshole to say, but I’d never want an interior camera in the event of an accident. It makes the following court case so much more gray, since you now introduce the opportunity to say “they were on the phone, talking, listening to music, whatever” and shift what should be a clear cut case into something more.

And then they’ll come to me with tears in their eyes and say, “Sir, we’re just too free. We can’t take it anymore.”

only semi related but ive been gifted with soft skin, the kind that old men would handshake and say “you never worked a real day in your life!” i work a blue collar job. some people are just gifted.

I have only worked a handful of “traditional” jobs in which ai could do anything major, and even then it can’t replace any job I had (in my opinion). But regardless, in none of my jobs have I had “too many” coworkers. The only time I’d say as much was when a company was hiring to preemptively fill roles they knew were going to be vacant. Although I did notice bigger companies had the perception they were overstaffed, because they also had no communication with lower rungs at all.

I’m working on a Starfinder campaign, so explaining all of these and the lore becomes more complex. I’m homebrewing a lot of the lore, because I’d rather make my own than learn a different one (and it lets me make things up on the spot that I don’t know). I know for one planet, its industrial revolution made its inhabitants flee underground, since the surface became too hostile. Magic helps with a lot of explanations too.

Ah yes, much like the way I build houses in Sims and Minecraft. Although I usually have a plan in mind. it just comes out shitty

I was also raised Catholic. Went to school for it even! I’d say that the absolutely stellar sermons/lectures/whatever are more on track eith what Jesus would actually teach. I learned there was a lot of gray area in most things, because there’s so many different situations. But after moving away from the community that in my opinion taught religion well, I saw how much worse others are. I haven’t really been Christian in a long time, so this was mostly joining family for holidays, but some are really awful. From bringing up unnecessary things like critical race theory to straight ignoring the catechism. I guess all of that just agrees, yeah, it’s right twice a day.

I also have three cats. One tends to sleep on whatever blanket is folded on the floor. The other two sleep on such a way that I always need to contort into an S.

Yes, and that also means that the stores like Epic and EA are only fighting to be at Steam’s place in the monopoly. They all want to be the one store/launcher everyone uses. They’re not doing anything particularly different, so no one would even bother trying.

This is probably dumb to ask, but how does this relate to something like Humble Bundle? I know for things like Patreon for example, devs I supported needed to require a minimum total supported before giving keys.

“Step ladder, no!”

I’m sure that’s partly true. In my experience, that’s just most of what’s tagged as “reality”, so any other situation with anything resembling a storyline takes digging. No wonder I couldn’t get into it.

I live in a purple area. I’ve seen some homes take down their maga flags. While it doesn’t necessarily mean they turned on him, they’re at least less enthusiastic. On the other hand, I’ve also seen homes double down and add more maga flags or the tpusa flag.

I personally know someone that cited the bible to demonstrate how Trump was the antichrist. Yes, he sure did still vote for him, because the antichrist is better than a democrat.

For myself, it depends on where I look and what store I’m in. Sometimes the international section can get me soursop juice. Locally owned stores have a better chance of variety.

I’m more annoyed that stores can have entire “juice” aisles, but only the last 10 or so ft. are 100% juice, only 2-3 ft. of which is organic. The rest are juice flavored drinks.

I have a relative who is a doctor. Had a claim denied once from someone that was not a doctor. Next: denied by someone not actively practicing in the field. Then denied by a doctor with no experience in that specialty. Only after all of that was it approved. They’ve also been picky about order of operations, such as not covering an MRI because there wasn’t also an order for a CT.

“They said I wouldn’t believe it.”
