Because those have an actual, proven, studied, medical basis with deep and real research. Whereas this does not. It's not exactly complicated. It's the same way we don't put heavy regulation on every single activity which some random punter with no medical expertise, who hasn't performed any...

Whilst I get what the article is getting at, and it's certainly incredibly wordy and rather smugly written (despite complaining about smug-ness repeatedly), I would urge caution here, because in the 21st century we've seen increasing misuse of the term "addiction" to mean behaviours which aren't...

Interesting. I haven't had anything except a minor missing item in very large orders (i.e. for 5+ people) for probably 5 years. And I order a really excessive amount of delivery. I'm probably jinxing the hell out of myself by saying this of course. Orders for delivery from supermarkets though...

I don't think that's it, because that's also true in the UK.

He is, and ape-people in general are cool for TTRPGs, but my god I hate his World of Warcraft-ass bow. I really, really, deeply wish that design style for bows would DIAF (his armour is a bit too WoW for my taste too, though that's a much lesser issue). Tiger Lady's bow is absolutely fine (also...

I'm not too offended - to be fair the wall of text I suspect you are referring to is critical primarily of the EFF's article, and unless one is invested in defending the EFF's PoV, is thus not relevant to one.

I've run a fair bit of Star Wars and only ever used one canon character as an "interactive" character rather than a background one (i.e. you might know Moff Tarkin or w/e is in charge of this system, but you aren't going to go mess with him personally). That was Mara Jade, albeit under a...

LOL I knew I'd see this here. Very predictable.

How is that confusing at all? Humans live, typically, 65-90 years, and retain copyright for their entire lifetime (maybe you didn't know that?). Because some people die young and because we care about those who survive them, and their kids, most countries extend copyright for another 50+ years...

I actually have a comment on this! I order fast food all the time in the UK (less so recently but that's a different story), and I haven't had a wrong order for literally several years! My wife is working in the US atm, and gets wrong orders from fast food regularly. We order stuff pretty much...

We were already not teaching people how to think - that's the key problem and part of why AI has been such a big hit. Across the West (and in the East too), we've seen a decline in the value put on critical thinking and analysis skills, and it was never super-high, even when it peaked in...

Spoken like someone who has never tried to do that. Just a really pointless gesture towards an imagined argument that you're apparently not willing to actually make. Like, either make the argument or don't, imho. Learning from an artist as a human takes significant interest, skill, and even...

Errrr I don't think anyone wants commercial anti-static spray in their coffee, Google AI, but thank you for the "information". Commercial anti-static sprays aren't any more toxic than shampoo - which you also shouldn't drink! - for the most part, but they'd still make the coffee disgusting and...

Don't worry too much, people will ignore that Android did it soon enough and just credit Apple, even if they're last to the party. Thanks to US reporters and their Apple obsession, Apple continues to receive credit for every innovation, no matter how many people did it first.

I mean it probably would!

I mean, there absolutely is an inherent issue. Manga is a medium. Mediums do not, generally speaking, map to TTRPGs. Genres tend to map to TTRPGs. Shonen is a genre, and the genre associated in the mind of many Westerners (especially older ones) with manga/anime. But as @nyvinter points...

Why do the nicest people always play the most awful elves!? Yeah, both systems are pretty dire. In the original, it took like literally 17,000 casts to reach max level (at least with one of the spell skills), an unreasonably high number but in this one it takes like, a few hundred? If that! An...

even as a customer I'd bite you if you ordered that tbh

I think there will be a bunch of abortive attempts by various parties to get people to "unify" behind a specific D&D-like game, which will start out very polite and well-meaning, as everyone is used to playing distant second fiddle to D&D, but will likely end up just causing "console wars"-style...
