News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

It's the same with Canadian television. Pre-2000 its full of interesting, educational programming, post-2000 its a wasteland (not including Pre-Netflix Trailer Park Boys).
How? I asked Copilot if it could code my game ideas (which would sell millions, obviously) and it said it could, but it was lying.
All you need to do is have 5k worth of stuff you can sell every month?

Maybe you just hate to lose, which drives you to relentlessly pursue "success?"

The issue ive heard with non-Latin mass is that it has lessened the feeling of global community among Catholics as they now do not all speak the same language (Latin).

Most of the ick factors are because of our empathy, which triggers upon seeing another human being in "icky" states of being and makes us imagine what it would feel like to be in such a state.

But you don't know that. Maybe op has done multiple cross country trips across America. Maybe they've only been to NYC and Disneyworld. You could have asked them, but you didn't!

Expensive and risky because of the political climate
Re:Foreign visits into the U.S. fell off a cliff in March on Monday April 07, 2025 @10:37AM (#43612037)
Right, so you are assuming in bad faith, instead of just asking their point and refuting it!

Three elections (at least) where both candidates are historically bad.

Your comment is very reddit-esque.

"do you think the US is a monoculture?" implying that the commenter does think that, and that that thought is ignorant and absurd. Instead of asking what they are referring to so you can discuss the point they're making.

What fear mongering politics? The commenter is obviously talking about the reported cases of people being detained, deported, and harassed for their political views.

As a Canadian, it's not even that. Im not holding someone responsible for what their political opposites do. It's just not safe or smart to be close to America right now. And it may never be again. And that's fine. This is not the beginning of resentment towards America. It has been there for a very long time, because America has been the global hegemon and has been ruthless in keeping its position.

Why don't you just ask what they are referring to instead of bringing out the snarky gotcha comments...
Re:Foreign visits into the U.S. fell off a cliff in March on Monday April 07, 2025 @09:48AM (#43611432)
They should make you sad. The leader of your country said we suck and that we would be better off being a part of the USA (and that he would MAKE us be a part of the USA)! It doesn't matter how many of you didn't vote for him when hes the one making the decisions.
Most people rise or sink to the level that they're held to. If everyone is getting lazier or worse at thinking slowly and deliberately, most of the rest will see that as the standard they need to match.
ya your snark is underwhelming. the comment was about increasing rates of baldness in young men, not whatever point you are trying to make.
If Gizmodo said its great, you know its not.

Sure they have. And if Reddit charged for use then they would see Canadians leaving en-masse.
Re:Go European: Discover European products and services on Tuesday March 11, 2025 @08:39PM (#43338762)
what's your point?
Re:Go European: Discover European products and services on Monday March 10, 2025 @11:49AM (#43321849)
It is when its the most ethical choice.
Re:Go European: Discover European products and services on Monday March 10, 2025 @11:49AM (#43321845)
Trump isn't really giving anyone the choice with talking about annexing its allies. You seem to be blaming the victim here.
Re:Go European: Discover European products and services on Monday March 10, 2025 @11:48AM (#43321838)
Looking at labels is hardly a test of your sanity. In Canada right now a majority of the population is regularly checking and avoiding anything made in the USA.
Re:Go European: Discover European products and services on Monday March 10, 2025 @11:43AM (#43321794)
They aren't suboptimal where I am. US products are cheaper, but they are routinely less healthy, more addictive, and poorer quality than the alternatives.

Its fine if you can't afford it or don't want to pay the difference, but by and large they are not suboptimal, at all.

Re:Go European: Discover European products and services on Monday March 10, 2025 @11:41AM (#43321773)
Non-US companies ALSO employ non-US workers
but they are not searching for a way to make mice transgender. The point of the research is to model those effects as they might occur in humans, not to figure out how to make transgender mice.

This is pretty hysterical. How many grizzlies do humans kill a year?
Re:Half-Life on Wednesday February 26, 2025 @07:26PM (#43189941)
four was mostly critically acclaimed. It was definitely the best written.
Re:Half-Life on Sunday February 23, 2025 @04:49PM (#43153539)
GTA5 was criticized for dumbing down the driving and other mechanics, and generally being way more goofy and casual than 4 and even San Andreas & Vice City
