i know the feature you mean and... it only sends it to people who are in that server. i dislike it because a ML model is looking at my text and trying to regurgitate it, but theres no expectation that the people who get those notifications were never able to see. people lurk all the time, and discord messages arent ephemeral

because the reason beef chicken and pork are popular is because they are high volume and therefore cheaper than other meats, we have an ample supply of chickens/cows/pig/other livestock. it makes more sense to go after segments where they can get higher margins until they can optimise processes and get more volume to keep up with the livestock industry

hard pass. what nations need is more participation in democracy, not less. i agree that a law that makes the bar culpable for patrons actions is probably incredibly stupid, but a law that makes it illegal for people to vote because their opinions are different from yours? what?

amazing progress on a weapon thats entirely redundant on a modern battlefield, if the f35 is ever in a situation where it can get guns on an enemy, many things have gone horribly wrong and it would honestly be much better to chuck a 9x at the target or, even better, have lobbed an AMRAAM at them at 40nm
there's a reason that the B and C variants don't have a gun

people keep talking about drivers being uninsured but i have to ask, is that not part of what car registration is supposed to cover? where i'm from there's mandatory third party insurance which is bundled in with your rego, its impossible to drive a car that is registered unless you have insurance, is that not the case in the US? what do your rego fees go to?

genshin is fun on its own but a friend of mine spends so much money on it that it's honestly terrifying, puts me off of playing it all that much. i would love it if it were $60 and everything was unlockable with a reasonable time investment, or even if it were a sub model like a lot of MMOs
