If you mean “water level” as in where for an isolated level you’re swimming, but not the entire game, super Mario Bros might be it

In an actual free market all the corporations would act like this, because shit like this is what people want out of a business they patronize.

You will recall that there was a bit of a fuss a month or so ago when an undoubtedly-harried GameStop employee stapled some customer receipts directly to Nintendo Switch 2 boxes—and through the boxes, and into the Switch 2 units themselves. It was all quickly resolved, without lawsuits or fistfights, and with the ugliness now behind it GameStop is looking to make some proverbial lemonade by auctioning off the Switch 2 killer for charity.

No lawsuits, no fight required by affected consumers

The company made it right and turned a bad situation into a PR move that helps a charity.

I really thought we’d see some kind of ethical capitalism out of the whole GameStop thing but it never really spread.

Dean Cain has been a bitch for years…

He drank the maga Kool aid a long time ago

While 10,000 miles of river sounds like a lot…

We’ve known for a while that Mars had oceans, and even glacier ice caps.

Maybe on this one specific area there wasn’t direct evidence of water, but Mars would have had rain and thus rivers all over the globe.

So despite no direct evidence, it was a reasonable assumption to see riverways like this.

There’s usually one or two guys who are willing to play the “big scary” when necessary

It’s not even willingness…

I’m a huge dude, basically the human equivalent of a silverback.

Especially in big events like college/pro sports or music festivals, if I was with a large coed group, random dudes approached me before hitting on any of the women around.

It wasn’t like they came up thumping chests or asking permission.

They’d just test the waters with me and if I seemed cool pivot to hitting on the women. Because out of everyone in the group, if I had a problem with them, I would literally and figuratively be their biggest problem.

But size doesn’t mean shit in the modern world, so it’s super weird for big guys, especially if it starts when they’re young. Sometimes it goes to people’s heads and that’s pretty much where bullies come from. The people who tolerate that behavior and hang around reinforce it and it just feedback loops

I’m almost positive outlook can be set up to do it on its own, I was just too lazy to Google how to set it up

It’s called a dead man’s switch and there’s not really anything complicated about it.

The thing is, it’s so so simple I doubt anyone has made a full on app to do it.

Like, the people who do that stuff aren’t the type to require an app to do everything for them.

Microsoft flat out said it in an investor meeting years ago…

It’s not exactly a secret

Well, yeah…

Silverbacks used to be the go-to primate “alpha” example, but we know that “the tribe” isn’t controlled by the Silverback, and it’s not the biggest or most aggressive that “leads”.

The females select more for compassion than anything. And the only real point of the Silverback in the tribe is to scare off rogue males.

Fights rarely happen, there just has to be a silverback already with the group to stop the rogues from hassling the group.

Even if a rogue male started a fight, and beat the group’s silverback, there’s still like 20 other gorillas, it’s not like they only have conflict in 1v1 fights. They don’t “win” leadership thru fighting.

The tribe just picks their own Silverback as designated chest thumper to avoid conflict.

For at least six decades, neuroscientists have been arguing over a big, foundational question: Do adult brains make new neurons? This process of “neurogenesis” had been shown in other adult animals, but its evidence in humans was circumstantial—until now.

Bullshit…

We’ve known since the 90s because of cancer drugs.

Autopsies of people who received certain kinds of treatment showed neurogenesis because some braincells included certain isotopes that couldn’t have been present in the body before treatment.

This is the first I’ve ever heard there was a “controversy” about it.

Fo fucks sake, we’ve known multiple ways to make it happen for years.

Cyberpunk had bugs, for loads of people ground reaking bugs.

But I got it on PC launch and didn’t really notice anything bad after tweaking settings.

Mindsete (from what I’ve seen) doesn’t even have good bones, everything is shit except cutscenes visuals and the content of what they’re saying sucks.

I don’t know how they could save this without turning it into a brand new game

Well, thanks for the links!

However, the target can also see you.

Not really…

If you knew what you were doing you could look anywhere

If you were a fool of a Took you just turned on a giant beacon that everyone who knew what they were doing and had their own immediately looked at.

Think of it like how some people “look for aliens” by beaming out a giant “hey, look at me! I don’t know what I’m doing!” Signal to anyone who can hear.

That’s what happened in LOTR. Then others used their own crystal balls to look at where the signal was and saw Pippen.

You didn’t understand my comment

But instead of asking questions you…

Just did whatever it was you tried to do there.

If you want to get better, ask more questions. Of someone else, obviously.

Ignoring the odd idea that this hypothetical person is somehow completely unemployable regardless of industry or upskilling

You’re so stuck in a capitalist mindset that you view people being “unemployable” as a personal failure on their part, rather than a success of society as a whole…

Were you out there screaming “think of the children” and “they can do anything they put their mind to” when people banded together to say maybe 7 year old children don’t have to work in the fucking coal mines anymore?

I think the issue is the study treated it as a binary thing…

Handedness isn’t binary, very few things are when talking about human anatomy.

Like, 4 wheel drive is an equal 50/50 split. Then obviously full front/rear drive.

But “all wheel drive” can be anything from 80/20 to 60/40, or theoretically any random ratio.

So while people who prefer their left hand. There’s a difference between a sleight preference and someone who’s right hand is so useless it’s easier to hold a guitar upside down.

Those people at the extreme end may be more creative when isolated out as a subgroup

Last names weren’t really a thing until very recently in human history.

That’s why a lot of last names are places or jobs.

You were Chris the Farmer, or Chris from Cleveland. And when your king wanted a last name to tax you more accurately, you likely didn’t give a fuck and just said whatever.

But the thing is people would say names/jobs in different languages.

An immigrant from Germany who spoke mostly German would say “My name is John Deutsch”. if they were fluent in English they may say “My name is John German”.

Same guy. Describing himself the same way, just in two different languages.

Fo Colombus specifically, that’s not even his name in his native language. It was Columbo, which meant Dove and given mostly to orphans, but at least his dad had the same name. Whenever last names became standard, Columbus’s oldest living direct ancestor was an orphan

So like, it’s not asking why just the places named after him are different, it’s why he had different names.

And the answer is people just really didn’t care that much about names until very recently.

“This was shocking,” Jennifer E. Smith, a biologist at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and the study’s lead author, said in a press release. “Squirrels are one of the most familiar animals to people. Yet here’s this never-before-encountered behavior that sheds light on how much we still have to learn.”

What?

Squirrels eat mice all the fucking time…

They compete for the same food source, but they’re drastically different sizes, it’s like if a silverback fought a chimpanzee. And after the fight the squirrel doesn’t waste the free meal.

I left /microblogmemes and /political memes

If there’s anymore left they’re just flying under the radar.

But those are “memes” by the Richard Dawkins original meaning of the term. Not “memes” as in “haha, guys like how stupid I am, don’t you think I’m stupid” humor.

Memes aren’t just shitty jokes, but thats all that’s in the shitty meme communities.

Or if you good mateys know of any tricks one could apply, cause every other post here is about the US

A very simple method would just be blocking those as you see them.

And then keep blocking them.

It’s not exactly difficult, I do it with all the AI and most of the meme communities.

Every once and a while someone makes a new one, but you just block it when you see it.
