>Many African countries face extremely unique challenges, which can only be assisted with empathy, education, and awareness as a part of their nation building program.

This line is such vapid mishmash that it is hard for me to believe it wasn't generated by GPT.

I stand by my words even if they are hard to stomach in this site.

Democracy that lasts for more than a few weeks requieres a level of human intelligence and homogeneity that most of these countries do not have.
Long COVID = BPD
If it is settled based on data that is as reliable as this (40% off!) then it is not settled at all.

Couldn't "chute des cheveux" be a symptom?
>I know people who were devoting their life to their job, were working in very profitable companies, were exceeding expectation for their level, were working on project that were sold to them as critical by management.... and they were fired overnight without notice (and some of them continue to lick ass on Linkedin on how great was their company).

Sounds like those people are suckers. So, maybe stop being a sucker? Or maybe we should write laws against being a sucker? Or taking advantage of suckers? I really don't know what's being proposed here. If you are a grown man you should know that your employer is not your friend. They are taking advantage of you and you should take advantage of them.

That's what I was thinking. Game size is not the problem, the problem is that you have a shit internet connection and/or a small hard disk.

It looks pretty stupid when you scroll with a scroll wheel with smooth scrolling off. But I guess as long as it looks good using a macbook touchpad then the designer is happy.
CEO received compensation for good cost-cutting measures? What am I missing here?

Is there any way of trying Bard from an "unsupported" country without using a VPN or something like that?
Every year I care less. And every year I think it's not possible to care even less, and then I amaze myself the very next year!

I know this sounds like trolling, but it's how the majority feels also - otherwise, something would get done.

It has. Fortnite is not available in the Play Store.

Given that iphone owners are more wealthy I expect this to happen much more often when sideloading is allowed on iphones since there's more money to be made. It's gonna get bad imo.

You mean the proxy war that the US is funding through NATO to make Europe stop buying Russian gas and buy American LNG instead? That very much sounds like economics to me!

Personally, I expected dynamic languages to ever match or at least get close to the performance of static languages. That seems that it will never happen, and there's a point where I can't afford that much hardware just to run a website. Think of Twitter abandoning RoR, etc.
