Imagine not being able to take a jab back without complaining. 😂

The superhero or the animal? Because I’m fine with either.

There is absolutely no point in making graphics more photorealistic than maybe Skyrim.

Sure there is. It looks pretty, and people like pretty. Maybe you don’t particularly care, but many people do. There’s a reason Skyrim got a whole HD remake in 2016, and there’s a reason that most of the most popular mods for both versions are mods that add incredibly hi-res textures.

Also, that’s quite an exaggeration there. I have yet to run into a game I can’t run with my $200 GPU. Sure, I can’t run every game at 4k ultra settings with ray tracing, but you clearly don’t care about that type of thing, so why would that matter?

Why would you like to need to finance a pizza from domino’s? You wouldn’t. The whole meme format is that the last option sucks.

Hint: America’s ‘literally’ and its dog-food spelling isn’t the leader.

Okay? I’m talking about American English. Everybody’s languages evolve differently based on their culture. I’m American, so American English is what I know best.

It doesn’t change magically. It changes through continuous usage and acceptance from society. That’s how language works.

Some examples. When was the last time you heard somebody say something was “awful”, as in awe inspiring? When a kid says literally, do you take them 100% seriously or do you accept that the word’s changed to be a synonym for “figuratively” among younger people? And as far as spelling is concerned, colour and color are both correct spellings, depending on where you live. Gray vs grey, acknowledgment vs acknowledgement, same thing. Or look at barbecue vs barbeque; the latter was incorrect for a very long time until the popularization of the abbreviation BBQ, after which it became a commonly accepted variant.

These things were not always correct, and yet, now they are. Society adopts and uses different meanings and spellings for words all the time. Sorry friend, you’re not the arbiter of English. It changes with or without you onboard.

Both are correct. Language changes.

Do you say *newb when correcting people that spell it noob because the origin of the word is newbie?

adding that she splits tips with her manager and kitchen staff at the restaurant.

They don’t even let her keep her entire tips. The whole situation is fucked. Somebody mentioned in the article also brought up a great point…

“Today, this is a Filipino woman behind a screen, controlling a POS system — but it’s not crazy to believe that probably in the next six to twelve months, this could be an AI avatar doing all the same things,” he said.

What a shitty future we have.
