Rob : You’re a total paranoid.
Alvy Singer : Well, how am I a para-? I pick up on those kind of things. You know, I was having lunch with some guys from NBC, so I said, uh, “Did you eat yet or what?” and Tom Christie said, “No, didjew?” Not, “did you”, “didjew eat?” Jew? No, not “did you eat”, but “Jew eat”? Jew. You get it? Jew eat?
Landscaping crews tend to pull trailers though. I imagine that’s why.
…although the authors do not claim that humpback whale songs meet the linguistic rigor necessary for a true language.
Despite the “human-like” use of hierarchical syntax to communicate, Suzuki and his colleagues found that whale songs convey less than one bit of information per second. By comparison, humans speaking English generate 10 bits of information for each word spoken. "Although whale song is nothing like human language, I wouldn’t be surprised if some marine mammals have the ability to communicate in a complex way.
Did you even read the article you submitted? I get it, you like animals.I like animals, even humans, some of them. But you’re comparing other animals to humans at the things that humans are demonstratively best at. Its like saying that cattle are sometimes faster at running than cheetahs and maybe we’ve been defining “fast” or “run” wrong. If you move the goal post far enough apart and select the outliers you can find examples of anything, but you’ve proved nothing.
Other animals communicate. Language involves syntax and grammar which only humans are capable of. That also has nothing to do with the fact that intelligence is a human word to describe humanlike capacity.
Silver age Superman was a complete asshole. Comic book characters change and more over time.
No animal shows anywhere near the range of neuroplasticity of humans. Humans can exist comfortably on almost all biospheres on earth and even space thanks to the technology we developed. Including the technology of language which features the word intelligence which we use for the way we grow and adapt. That’s what we use our brains for and what we specialize in. We don’t use our brains for sonar the way bats do, but that isn’t intelligence.
Does that make humans inherently superior or give us the right to render the planet uninhabitable? No, of course not, and animals are smarter than many people give them credit for. But calling animal intelligence comparable to that of humans simply isn’t accurate.
They played around with making an AI generated episode of black mirror but it wasn’t good enough to be compelling.
Cubas pretty green for what its worth.
Well, nazbols exist but I can’t say that there’s enough of them to really qualify. Maybe in eastern Europe? I’ve heard its a more common ideology there. I wouldn’t really call them leftists though
What’s the difference between Conor Clapton and a bag of cocaine?
Eric Clapton would never let a bag of cocaine fall out a window.
sorry
I watch a lot of warhammer 40000 videos. From lore to battle reports. I’ve never once played a game.
Dictatorship at the time didn’t mean necessarily authoritarian, it just meant government. Someone always dictates however they may be elected. He felt the people dictating should be the working class.
You got down voted but you’re right. Tankie is the new form of commie after that fell out of favor. Western “champaign socialists” (another term I hate but it kinda applies here) use it to criticize people from countries that actually have had socialist experiments. Most of the leftists globally are not western and would fit under the standard western definition of tankie. But if you’ve never come close to overthrowing your own government, are you positioned all that well to criticize someone elses revolution while you sit comfortably in the imperial core?
Poor countries face challenges that rich countries can’t imagine often from western interference and revolutions are an ugly business. No Castro was not Santa Claus but he was a marked improvement over Batista.
Just because something is a social construct doesn’t mean it isn’t real or important.
The weird thing about analog horror is that its now being done by people who never experienced the art that they are imitating. Sometimes their interpretations are lacking.
AAA also tend to spend a lot on celebrity images and voice acting. Which is weird to me. I don’t think anyone bought Cyberpunk just for Keanu Reeves.
I think with media people tend to watch critics review entries that they can’t keep up with and they adopt some of their habits. The thing is someone who plays every game is going to notice any aspect that’s been done better before and point it out as part of their review. But the more positive reviewers will state that they did enjoy the game and that part seems to get lost sometimes.
I could spend an hour telling you things I didn’t like about Tears of the Kingdom. Its still probably the best game I played this year.
The sex scene in Zach and Mirri Make a Porno between the two main characters highlights that they actually love each other.
Simon R. Greens Deathstalker series is pretty much what you’re describing. Very much space opera, melodramatic and big on action. They’re not incredibly well written but lots of fun.
