Buried at the bottom of the thread was a helpful reply by an obvious LLM account that answered the original question far better than any of the other comments.
I'm still not sure if that's amazing or terrifying.
Taking into account the already-negative reception of the final season, it became symbolic of the show's decline in quality. The cup was edited out in later releases.
Family Guy also did a quick cutaway gag of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGIpZk4SKTI

> Platkin says there were two catalysts for the investigation. One is personal: A few years ago, a family friend came to Platkin, astonished that his 10-year-old son was able to sign up for Discord, despite the platform forbidding children under 13 from registering.
> The second was the mass-shooting in Buffalo, in neighboring New York. The perpetrator used Discord as his personal diary in the lead-up to the attack.
In other words, this is yet another attack on privacy in the name of "protecting the children".
The default experience there is terrible these days but it's still salvageable for now.
In reality, he just sent them a slightly-snarky response to their flimsy cease-and-desist, and they decided not to go forward with a lawsuit, which is probably how it would have played out anyway.
With modern CSS you can typically handle separators with a single selector and property like:
.things .thing:not(:last-child)
{
border-bottom: 1px solid gray;
}
The fact that they provided absolutely none of these alternatives isn't a coincidence. Google is a for-profit company with 300+ billion of annual revenue, a giant chunk of which comes from their advertisement services. It's a blatant conflict of interest and there's no good reason to believe that they're acting in good faith here.
1. Its free functionality was more generous than many comparable services. Nobody wants to pay for a Mumble server.
2. Its UI and audio quality and noise cancellation settings put much of the competition to shame.
3. Only needing one account for every Discord server in existance gave it the same kind of appeal that let Reddit/Facebook kill off most individual forums.
4. Good marketing, which gave it the critical mass of users and hobby groups that it needed to succeed initially and now make it harder to move away from.

Not that I'm complaining about extensive documentation, but seeing these two lines juxtaposed doesn't inspire much confidence.
One quick point of feedback: The "Learn more about our features and pricing" button appears to be broken, at least on Chrome Android.
The click gets intercepted by the registration form somehow, like by some type of overly-broad selector targeting "form button" or similar.
Instead of being taken to the pricing page, it takes me to the next step of the form, which I don't want to fill out before seeing the pricing.
1. Convert the images to WEBP or AVIF or at least run them through something like TinyPNG to compress them better.
2. Save two versions of each images; a 75x75 version that gets used for the 75px thumbnails shown on the page, and a 500x500 version that appears in the lightbox after a thumbnail is clicked.
3. Only load a few dozen thumbnails at first and then load more after the user scrolls down or clicks a "show more" type button.
Many cities have overly-restrictive building codes that prevent adequate housing from being built, which raises housing costs.
Our immigration rate is too high for the amount of new housing units we build, which raises housing costs.
Many businesses have taken a hardline stance against remote work, even for jobs where it would make sense. That forces people to live in areas with inadequate housing, which raises housing costs.
Existing housing is being increasingly purchased by multibillion dollar companies for rent-seeking purposes, which raises housing costs.
There's really no one-size-fits-all solution to the problem, but slightly reducing the immigration rate, limiting corporate ownership of detached single family homes, incentivizing remote positions, and forcing cities to approve more new units would almost certainly improve the situation.
There's a valid legal argument to be made here either way; that the government has some amount of leeway to censor foreign propaganda, or that the first amendment prevents it from doing so at all.
We'll really just have to wait and see how they rule on it, because the issue will definitely make its way there at some point in the near future.
It's also likely that the verdict won't have a neat and tidy partisan breakdown, so the final result will be hard to predict.
Don't bother posting it there though, or the mods will remove it because "umm well actually it could have just been an honest mistake therefore it's not asshole design".
That particular part doesn't mean much.
The name "ChatGPT" has become a new and exciting name like "Google" was in the early 2000s, so people are latching onto it for marketing purposes. The techical accuracy of a name doesn't really matter if it helps you attract new customers.
But even so, the tool could still be junk and/or a scam.
It's nice to have CRT filters and nonlinear scaling available as an option, but I'll never use them. If the game can't scale up perfectly, then I'd rather just have black bars on the edges than making everything blurry or adding extra pixels where they don't belong.
// is unnecessary, though. It adds nothing besides an extra character to type.
Syria is a place where optimism goes to die, but this is the first time in generations that Syria has been given a chance to rebuild itself, so there's at least a tiny glimmer of hope.
I'm not sure that was the gotcha he seemed to think it was...
A quick Google search suggests that there are millions of rats living in New York City and Los Angeles, but I don't recall hearing about any recent catastrophies they've caused. I guess it's possible they could someday transmit a new novel disease like bats did, so we probably don't wanna let their numbers get too high, but other than that, are they really hurting anything? I view them about the same as pigeons or moths; occasionally annoying, but not something to relentlessly eradicate.
