Pinyin keyboard is pretty good at predicting the correct character, but one it constantly messes up is 狗 (dog) vs 夠 (enough). No, I don't want to say "it's hard to get dog protein as a vegetarian" or "I think you have dog stress".
"In some action games, your trigger finger is disabled if you aim your gun at your NPC allies, making it impossible to shoot your story-critical friends. In Resident Evil Requiem, you cannot shoot the Porsche."

for me:
ffxiv's story, community, and characters are great but it's gameplay largely sucks
wow's community and story is bad but its gameplay is great
so i bounce back and forth, but tbh i'd play basically any pve mmo with the right people
visiting this place had me all up in my feelings. being surrounded by people excited the simple pleasures of this world and these characters. i really, really miss having a group of friends to mmo with.
I want a slice of life manga that's just 18 and Krillin going through daily existence
Pearls before swine and all of that.

It is kind of interesting how much less important Piccolo seems in the manga than in my memory of the anime.
Starting the Cell saga now, which I've only previously encountered through Wiki summaries and short clips on YouTube. When I was a kid, it seemed like every single DBZ episode on Toonami was Goku vs Frieza, Goku training in the afterlife, and Piccolo training Gohan.
Sorry I didn't mean the action was unclear, I more meant how silly the action paired with the onomatopoeias was~
Everyone else doesn't know just how wrong we can be!
I love that a key plot point in the Frieza saga is that characters who have telekinesis, space ships, and can destroy whole planets can't carry the seven Dragonballs while flying.
You can't read manga fights literally panel by panel, instead you have to let them wash over you like an impressionist painting.
Otherwise it would just be silly.
Yeah we watched, my wife's high school classmate ran it
I might have seen her!
Congrats to @ncaaup.bsky.social & all who fought against this surveillance policy that would've allowed admin to hijack microphones in the classroom for secret recordings.
This move would've chilled classroom discussion & suppressed students' willingness to ask questions & take intellectual risks.

Their vision is simple but, in today’s Japan, still radical: if the kind of home they need does not exist, they will create it themselves.

Had no idea one of the early plotlines involves fighting a Nazi-like group for the Dragonballs
Advice of the day I wish I had gotten and followed: learn best strategies for talking to someone undergoing delusions so you have some idea of what to say if the situation arises.
I'm always saying this
For me it's context. Declare isn't colloquial on its own either, but my grandma saying "I do declare it's going to be a hot one" or "I reckon we should head on back" are both colloquial dialogue to me?

LLMs break our ability to conclude when there is proof of effort. We make high schoolers write essays and do math assignments not because we care about essay or because we don’t know the problem set answers, but because the effort trains them in a certain way. We read customized cover letters as an important signal of interest, because it has traditionally been hard to make a good one, and you could only do it for so many jobs you applied for. Gatekeeping is inevitable, and when the old mechanisms stop working, other measures will step in, like relying on the prestige of the candidate’s institution or their connections to decide who to hire, or what papers to cite or publish.
I think about this a lot with LLMs and education and also publishing. The hope that by undermining failing or unfair systems, LLMs will destroy the hierarchies and unfairness seems... naive. The result will likely be the opposite. jessicahullman.substack.com/p/zeynep-tuf...
NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.
