I’m not trying to start a fight or mud slinging

You have an account 2 years old so either you are trying to start something or a complete moron.

I also shower like a rotisserie chicken.

Bricks?

But, in this case, I’d say the neurotypical thing is to find long silences awkward, and you’re not neurotypical with regard to this trait.

An uncomfortable silence, other than immediately after someone blurts out something offensive, is generally when there seems like there should be some kind of conversation. Most people will feel uncomfortable if there is something obvious prompting a reason to have a conversation, like hanging around each other at a social event. If nobody speaks it is awkward even for introverts since there is a clear expectation for interaction. Extroverts seem to have that same feeling even in contexts where there is no shared expectation for conversation, like on public transportation. Most people are fine with being silent in that context, so I would say being comfortable with silence on public transportation is neurotypical and it all depends on context.

I don’t get any shells when I crack it on a flat surface but do on an edge of anything. Learned that this was the case for me back in the 80s.
As long as it works it works.

Stuff can come across vastly differently between the original script and the final product.

If they didn’t find out Ben was involved until two weeks into shooting then he probably wasn’t initially involved or they hid his involvement. Reading the contract doesn’t help if they lie to you or change things after signing.

So far I have hopped because the instance shut down (kbin) and for a better user experience from lemmy to piefed.

If I had accidentally joined a tankie instance I would probably hop off once I found out.

First name ‘Not’, last name ‘Provided’. Can spell it if you want.

It’s even more absurd: There are gamers who demand computer games without AI. WTF?

They don’t want genAI slop for visuals, writing, and other creative things in games. They are using AI in the context of those things and even give examples about how AI upscaling of textures in game design looks shitty and don’t want voice actors to be replaced with fake voices. They still want human creative involvement front and center because all the llm/genai image stuff is just ripping off existing stuff in the worst ways.

They aren’t talking about pathing or gameplay ai that has been around forever because the term AI has been coopted by genAI and that is what they are referring to.

The ad is raising questions

The questions are “why didn’t anyone listen to people pointing out this obvious outcome years ago and make it illegal to do in this context”?

The film had an ending so that checks out!

(Both endings are good for different reasons)

Somewhere a dystopian sci-fi describes a justice system where you can receive multiple life sentences and actually serve them all. Upon a natural death, you are revived and renewed to the age you were at sentencing to serve the next life sentence. Only after completing them all are you free to die and remain that way.

That somewhere is a Black Mirror episode.

In piefed I swear I can see the replies in my inbox after the comment is deleted by the user as I sometimes click on them and they show as deleted in the post comments.

You rang?

Yeah, those views are as ridiculous as the few vocal true believers who think every rural location can be served by trains and don’t understand rural folks do have uses for large trucks in rural areas. Those large trucks shouldn’t be driven into urban areas of course!

I’ve made rural context car positive posts in fuck cars multiple times and they tend to get a fair number of upvotes and few downvotes. The context and approach definitely matters.
