Most varieties of stone (cobble, concrete, brick, etc.) are very expensive, especially in comparison to lumber in places where tree farms are plentiful.

Also, idk if you’ve seen a modern wood house, but they’re practically hollow, save for fiberglass insulation. They use far less material than stone buildings.

Can you evaluate the directory tree of a tar without decompressing? Not sure if gzip/bzip2 preserve that.

Or they’re interpreting the law as written without context so they can get home by lunch, just like every other originalist.

How tf does one do that

It’s free?

I’m shocked that this needs a /s, wow

Gas demand is absolutely price sensitive lol

Not if you plan to rape the corpse, which this person apparently did.

Well, sure, the other half of the joke is that the speaker is a literal psychopath, thus the Patrick Bateman. You don’t start reading a meme expecting it to be psychopathic.

Also, I’m not sure you could call that the “plan” considering there was a 50% chance the speaker would have been dead at the end of the game.

Sorry, that’s not an explanation, that’s a new joke.

I’m pretty sure it is. Feel free to explain why it isn’t, and I’ll respond to that,

And the way you “play” russian roulette is as a torture method with a prisoner. That’s where it comes from, and there is no established way to “play”

Where are you getting this from? I have found absolutely no evidence to support this, and lots of evidence to the contrary. By all accounts, you take turns holding the revolver up to your own head of your own free will.

If you think the players take turns shooting at each other, that seems to be a particular variant called Russian poker, and it’s depiction in media is relatively uncommon in my experience.

it treats the woman as a prop on so many levels

Yes, I don’t think anyone disagrees with you here. IMO, the rule of thumb is, “Would it be equally funny if the genders were swapped?”, and IMO, the answer is “yes” in this case, because the joke doesn’t rely on sexism.

The woman in this story has no agency whatsoever

Except for agreeing to play Russian roulette. Surely both parties were aware of the odds of their demise.

even when she’s offering sex in the setup it’s just a weird incel fantasy that would never happen.

And now we’ve arrived at the cringiest part of the meme. It’s a pretty lame setup that indeed relies on dialogue that would never happen IRL. I guess that’s why it’s a [email protected].

Edit: on second thought, I have officially spent too much time dissecting this mid-tier garbage, and unless you can accept the fact that you misunderstood the premise of Russian roulette, I won’t be continuing this conversation.

The core of the joke is that Russian roulette is a terrible game to play if you intend to do anything after it.

he killed her

That’s not how you play Russian roulette, btw

Sports are much older than the concept of a “ruling class”.

The argument that they are used as a distraction in capitalist societies does not detract from how central they are to the human condition. Hell, games aren’t even specific to humans

It has bad games 😎

What not playing ARMS does to a mf

Not to be confused with Microsoft Copilot, which I have yet to find a use for. Do you not like GH Copilot either?

That GitHub Copilot and friends are useful? I would argue that their utility is rather subjective, but there are indications that it improves developer productivity.

I’m unsure if you’ve used tools like GH Copilot before, but it primarily operates through “completions” (“spicy autocorrect” in its truest form) rather than a chatbot-like interface. It’s mostly good for filling out boilerplate and code that has a single obvious solution; not game-changing intelligence by any means, but useful in relieving the programmer of various menial tasks.

May I ask, what evidence are you hoping to see in particular?

It doesn’t do that, either. LLMs retain the linguistic patterns found in textbooks, nothing more. It’s remarkable that they can do so much with this information alone, but it’s still a far cry from genuine intelligence.

I mean, it’s not shit at everything; it can be quite useful in the right context (GitHub Copilot is a prime example). Still, it doesn’t surprise me that these first-party LLM benchmarks are full of smoke and mirrors.

I guess I don’t live in a place where that happens frequently. Let me turn this around for a moment and ask you the same question you asked earlier:

How many ruined lives for this to be a concern to you?

I’m sure that adopting this design would get cries from the fragile men about their precious urinals. Honestly, fuck them. The toilet does the job, you animal.

They started putting in gender neutral bathrooms where I work. They also put in a few urinals, behind closed doors, just like the rest of the toilets. It’s not even an issue (unless you like checking out other dudes’ junk with the current setup).

So the gender neutral bathroom is useless, then?

You know there are other people in a public bathroom, right? How often do you think rape occurs in a unisex bathroom, of all places?

Adolescent men would raid nearby tribes and kidnap their young women, which is the means by which genes were exchanged between tribes.

We see the misogynistic trends rise in late Hellenic periods

hmmm
