Everyone has an accent!

I don't believe I did. I was always talking about whether it was necessary to offer incentives to do jobs like waste collection or if they'd be done anyway in an ideal society.

I dunno what “good at karaoke” means other than singing well. Don’t get me wrong, I also find it annoying when a group goes to karaoke and there’s the one theatre kid who can actually sing and just embarrasses everyone else, but I’d still say they’re good

Why? Singing and making music is a worthwhile goal that you generally achieve by some other means than doing a lot of karaoke. But to get good at bowling you have to specifically have practiced bowling.

Jeez, how long have you been spending on thesaurus.com?

If you agree most people need to be paid to do work, then we have no disagreement on the topic at hand, so there is no need to argue at all.

It's not fear of repercussions; it's social glue. Crime is much more common in cities, out of proportion with how many people there are, because people who are willing to commit crime are not willing to commit it against people they know personally. Urbanisation allows depersonalisation allows bad behaviour. It also allows effects to be transmitted that are simply way less direct than you have any hope of instinct being able to reckon with. Like, you can work out that tossing shit out of your window will piss off your neighbour, but the knock-on-effects of what you do can be harder to figure out than that. Did you buy a little bit more of anything at the start of COVID, "just in case"?

Because, I don’t know if you’re noticed, having a paying job is exhausting. The world setup in such a way that for a normal person, getting money means someone will suck every bit of life of you.

Yet most people have hobbies. So what you’re saying is that working as a garbage disposal person is not enjoyable enough to generally make people want to do it every day alongside having a regular job. They’d rather play video games, or write a Lemmy frontend, or something else that’s more fulfilling and doesn’t stink.

Do you really believe everyone would act like a psychopath if they aren’t accountable for their actions?

No.

There are many things that people are willing to do for their own satisfaction, I don't disagree with that. I don't think waste disposal is one of them. The "communal life" you're talking about cannot exist in an urbanised society, because most people you affect in a city are not personally known to you, and there will be no opportunity for the social mechanisms we evolved to pressure us into doing the right thing. In a village of 200 people, if you throw your shit in the street, your neighbour, whom you know personally and whose opinion you likely care about, will complain. In a city of 2 million, if someone throws shit in the street you have no idea who it was, they've never met you, and what are you gonna do about it anyway? Anyway, I should bow out now. I have no interest in discussing politics or economics with an anarchist.

If it's so enjoyable, why don't they do it as a hobby and have a different paying job? To be clear, I think the answer is obviously that, to most people, it's *not* that enjoyable.

It sounds like you have never come across the concept of the tragedy of the commons? The particular topic of waste disposal is a good one because we have good historical accounts of the transition from a free-for-all to regulated, paid profession. Take the example of Paris, which in the 17th century was infamous for its dirt and stink. Repeated efforts to force people to keep their own streets clean failed, and ultimately residents complained that if the King wanted the streets to be clean, he had better pay for someone to come and clean them. Eventually city officials managed to force (through threat of punishment) residents to sweep waste and mud into the middle of the streets, and pay people to come through and collect and remove it. In 15th century Britain, nightmen removed waste from cess-pits and charged two shillings a ton. If there were enough people who just loved shoveling shit so much to do this without money changing hands, why weren't they out doing that?

Do you think your uncle was in any way representative of the millions of people employed in waste disposal? The city of Birmingham's bins have gone partially uncollected for over a year due to a dispute over pay. If waste disposal workers were, in general, doing it for the love of it, they'd surely be happy to do it for minimum wage. Seems more likely your uncle was the odd one out, and most people need to be paid to do stinky work.

I find this happens to me if I panic and do the stretch too quickly. But if I do it at fast but measured pace it works every time. My dad told be the trick at a time when I was getting night cramps often and it changed my life

The base for it is that it is *generating* pixels - and entire frames. The difference between DLSS 5 and <5 seems quantitative, not qualitative.

I looked at the still comparisons on the nVIDIA article.

The effect looks like a filter or shader. I've seen the comparisons.

I hate videos for information like that. I'd read an article though. But from your description, DLSS <5 *was* genAI - transformer models are the backbone of genAI. There's certainly the possibility that DLSS 5 is a whole other bucket of crabs but idk.

Weren't the previous versions also genAI?

You have demonstrated yourself as wholly unsuitable for that task, and your wishes of “love and solidarity” sound condescending at best. The socialist equivalent of “I’ll pray for you.”

But I am not feeling depressed; I merely find the incessant deluge of heavy content in a community supposed to be for lighthearted shit to be depressing.

Literally nobody on this website was unaware of what was in this comic strip, and how dare you tell me under what conditions I feel what I feel?

Just post your political stuff in a political memes community. Posting this relentless depressing shit here does not make me want you to suffer less, I can tell you that, no matter how much "love and solidarity" you follow it up with.

Is that why the more normie shitpost community on reddit has less politics in it than this one? Because wanting (US) politics in every fucking moment if your lives is normal?

Immediate thought: “there are naked pictures of this character somewhere” FurAffinity confirmed

If there weren’t cars, there’d still be buses, vans, trucks.

Do you not think rants belong here? What about linking to a rant on a blog?

to write the General American pronunciation of “mom” with French orthography would be something like “mam”.

Language jokes by people who evidently know bugger all about the language are extremely cringe

What an absolute baller

Your whimsy hurts me

As an ancient husk of a person, it all looks crack-addled to me. I don’t really see how you can parse out headings from emoji because their usage isn’t consistent.

I'd call the mode on the machine "boiling wash" or "hot wash" (which is probably 60 degrees rather than 90). But from other comments I'm understanding that Germans separate laundry into "Kochwäsche" and some other part(s), and there is no general term for that because it's not common.

Because "kochen" isn't a good translation for the english word "to cook" - at least not in all scenarios. When used with an object (*etwas* kochen, like Wäsche) it means more like "to boil" or "to brew". So you "kocht Kaffee" (but one never "cooks coffee"). And it certainly is not true that you "ein Steak kocht"! So there's an overlap in meaning but it's not the exact same thing. This makes kochen a partial false-friend!

Yellow cheddar probably also has annatto colouring. Cheese can be naturally orange in the summer, but for a long time it has been more frequently obtained by colouring.

Some cheese varieties (cheddar, red Leicester) are traditionally coloured (with annatto)

It’s “left wing” because the buildings are identical, because they were built through central planning.

Yeah but I've never heard anyone use the word "divisible" in a non mathematical context. It's fundamentally about numbers. You'd never say "three is divisible by two" apart from about maths. You'd never say "this cake is divisible by two", which is already not the context you were talking in, you'd say "you can cut this cake in half".

what non-mathematical meaning are we talking about here?

That's not what divisible means

Omg me?

Then just buy AMD.

There are some other things that have happened over the same time period.

I sure will!

But the point is that the person complaining isn’t complaining about the French, but about some imagined English dude who picked the pronunciation of rendezvous for fun

The US one evolved as well, just preserved rhoticity which is a major feature. There’s no “UK accent” (nor “us accent") either - West country accents for example are still rhotic

Thank you for explaining the joke, it’s so much funnier now!

That is doing it wrong. You should only ever round as the last step before display.

If there are some people that like him, and some people that hate him, you can bet your arse there are some people who kinda don’t know. 2% or 4% or whatever it is is not many people to be undecided.

And to think I nearly didn’t read the title.

I’m certainly hard rn
