@snackowska The databases shouldn't even have a cost to begin with. If Wikipedia can be free to use and if light use of all the LLMs can be free, then all of the world's journal articles can be free. Pretty much all of its academic publications can and should be
@GemOfAmara It's simple they look like Buddhists it's all watered down Buddhism it's a simple bit. They're called knights and oooh samurai were basically Buddhist knights. The fights were set up to look like ones in samurai films. It ripped off Hidden Fortress. Done, easy
Imagine a British commentator saying this about the US in the late '40s, early '50s. They'd be right and it'd look like what it is: just complaining about losing your place at the top
@F_McCullough It isn't because of environmental consciousness, it's because a key difference between liberalism and neoliberalism is that the latter is much more willing to just let people be damned if they can't keep up. The timing of Europe's housing transition coincides with that transition
@jaeporeon It definitely needs to be intensely illegal for an organization to pose as a nonexistent individual. It's illegal for an individual to do that. Companies and nonprofits should not be allowed to do that either. Strictly, with very heavy penalties
@Bearded_Buc@softboywin As you move through Georgia it gets closer to the climate of the Carolinas & Virginia, historically great for cotton and tobacco growing, among many other plants. Still they're pretty hot and humid states. Corn & wheat grow best further from the sea, in a dryer climate
@Bearded_Buc@softboywin Tomatoes yes. Cucumbers and other squash make sense. Potatoes can grow anywhere but they tend toward higher altitudes and less hot weather. Florida's soil is VERY sandy, below sea level in many places, and huge portions of the state are unusable swampland
@izakaminska@CTankie1917 The country that you say won't transfer wealth to ordinary people has a GINI index significantly lower than the USA, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Argentina, and Turkey
@Bearded_Buc@softboywin I lived there for 18 years. Yes ranching and cattle herding are old industries there. But most of the foods you and I eat cannot be grown well in that climate. Wheat and corn are the basis of all essentially all human diets, and grow better in the midwest
@Bearded_Buc@chyrah@softboywin No man she just lives in a city and you don't. Stop calling it a "market" you're talking about a butcher's shop. Basically a deli
@Bearded_Buc@softboywin Come on man in what part of Florida are farmer's growing all the food you eat. It's a fucking subtropical climate where all the oranges are so diseased that they can't be exported. You shop at Publix and also go to some butcher's shop is all you're talking about
@seafood_disco 4 of these as well, for draw. And when they kill the one with the Wicked Role - of course that's the one they'll choose - your shredders will pump an extra time and they'll lose 1 life
@seafood_disco Whereas I'm telling you to make a standard deck with 4 of each of these bad boys. Every time the opponent kills one in play, all the others pump up. And each requires 2 blockers
@JoshTBVO AI cheating has become so rampant now that purely online instruction is essentially impossible. The student cannot be evaluated over that medium. Everything they turn in over it will be cribbed from AI. In-person on-paper tests and quizzes are the only way forward
@JoshTBVO The way to get past this is to do as NY state has done and ban cell phones in the classroom, and to pay instructors more for in-person as opposed to online instruction. It definitely takes more work, and it definitely works better.
