This isn’t a case of a streamer talking to a viewer through chat. This is a case of an adult private messaging with a minor in a self admittedly “inappropriate” manner. Doc might have said after the fact that he didn’t “intend” on following through with his messages, but when an adult, even jokingly, is making plans to meet up with a fan at a convention who is a minor, that’s a BIG red flag.

Twitch had no choice but to ban him. What if they did nothing and he did end up meeting up with them? What if it turned into SA allegations and it was found out that Twitch was aware of this? I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want my kids talking to an adult over private messages full stop. Let alone if the content was “inappropriate”.

If you’re a 40 y/o texting “inappropriate” things to a minor, you should have your twitch contract cancelled too.

The tl;dr of that article isn’t even “no”. It provides both sides of the accounts and references academics that argue both ways.

I read it to make the same argument you did, but ended up considering it a surprisingly well written article.

It’s a very Italian American thing. It’s not really something you’d see in Italy.

When it comes to martial arts, skill does though. That’s why I got my ass handed to me by a 16 y/o girl who is much smaller than me.

Same boat. My partner’s grandfather had a bunch of WW2 memorabilia that their parents passed down to us. Among it are the papers of some Nazis he took off their bodies as well as other odds and ends.

It just sits in a box in our closet. It’s interesting history, but definitely not something I have any interest in displaying.

I tend to agree, but I’ve found that most LLMs are worse than I am with regex, and that’s quite the achievement considering how bad I am with them.

But this is a different situation. Would you tell an amputee to break a leg? Or ask a blind person if they “see what I’m saying”. I’m sure you could see how calling a single conjoined twin a “half” could be offensive.

Colloquials like that are a great way to make communication more colorful and informal, but sometimes you need to be a bit more sensitive with what you say.

Sure. I wasn’t arguing against that. I just said it’s a silly article if it’s whole point was “the movie is funny, but the movie about Pop-Tarts by Jerry Seinfeld isn’t deep enough”.

And? Not every movie has to make a stance on something. It’s written by Jerry Seinfeld. Do you really care about his thoughts on some political, environmental or social issues?

It’s a silly point though. You mean the Pop-Tart movie written by Jerry Seinfeld doesn’t make a point??? Well color me surprised.

Maybe you could sell premium access to support it.

Trash? Stadium Arcadian was a good album, but Californication was one of the most well put together albums ever.

It always ran. The owner drove it home, and when they parked it in the garage the center screen started acting wonky (they didn’t explain what that meant). All the other screens worked, and the car was drivable, but it’s a bit dangerous to drive a Tesla without the center screen since that displays everything (no dashboard screen) and is how you control everything (no physical buttons besides a few on the steering wheel). So the owner did a system reset and the screen didn’t turn back on after the estimated “two minutes”.

The next day they called the service station, but then went back to check on the car, everything was working. Basically instead of taking 2 minutes to do a hard reset, it took over night. The service station said this was a known issue and it would sometimes take upwards of 4 hours.

This headline is massively misleading. Hell, the article itself was massively misleading. The owner said something like “I thought it was bricked” on social media and the author just ran with it apparently.

It’s probably more than 100s. One of my Slack orgs has over 300 paid users and Slack barely considers us midsize.

I’m not sure about Elite, but I think I was saying that more to your point than against it.

When I first got the game I had about 50-60 hours into it before I started getting bored. I spent most of that time farming eggs to sell and hanging out in space ports waiting for cool ships to arrive. I’ve come back a few times after updates but it always felt monotonous. All that’s really left is it’s a cool VR tech demo, as long as you only want to fly ships (which is pretty cool, but gets old fast).

Though, flying a ship in VR is pretty dope.

Probably a similar response as the women trying to enter the museum before 1965.

I actually just read that one for the first time. Such an interesting take on traditional alien and religious stories.

When I was in college in 2000 I took a media class. One of the assignments was to spend 24 hours keeping a log of every ad you come across. Physical, digital, didn’t matter. I gave up before noon because I had multiple pages of ads written down.

There’s no escaping them.
