On average kind people are just being kind.

And that is great, it is good to be optimistic. My point is being kind has nothing to do with trustworthiness. Hell, someone that is kind can also just be plain wrong. They might think they know something when they do not. The kindness just does not factor in to knowledge. Plenty of experts are not what people would describe as kind, and plenty of misinformation peddlers are kind. It just has nothing to do with expertise

Right? What a strange and dangerous metric

Because the inverse of that is how people get conned. Someone blowing absolute smoke with a confident tone and a sweet word. Tone is about the worst indicator of trustworthiness

Why do you conflate politeness and trustworthiness? Seems like a weird connection to make.

AFAIK, there is no international law against declaring martial law. Even if it were the case, this administration has shown they do not give even 1/4 of a shit about the constitution or law.

lol, fair, but I thought it was a smaller part of your post and figured that if it was coming from someone who did not have a dog in the fight it might hammer it home

Pretty much everyone here knows Reddit and Conde Nast are bad for a multitude of reasons, but that does not mean the journalists at Ars are bad at their jobs. They also have nothing to do with any alleged anti-not Conde Nast bias of Reddit mods (I’m not saying it doesn’t exist, but the evidence you posted here is a lot of nothing). People can do good work at shitty companies, and a lot of shitty companies don’t have a hand in day to day operations in companies. Hell, in the US, that is becoming the rule and not the exception. Again, I am not saying Conde Nast doesn’t necessarily have a thumb on the scales at Ars, but you have provided no evidence of that.

And once again, even if we take everything you say as true, the fact remains that the journalists at Ars have absolutely nothing to do with Reddit. The heads of Conde Nast might, and for sure read articles from their outlets with a critical eye, but those are two different things.

Finally, bringing your problems with Reddit to a completely different platform is just silly, especially on Lemmy, and especially especially to Beehaw. If you want to have a bitchfest, that is fine. This just isn’t the place to do it.

Wat?

Oh, they are already causing traffic issues in California. Plus the Waymos have been doing a lot of cacophonous honking when they try to park for the evening. Just chaos every where they go

Texas in a couple weeks and California has some trials in San Francisco. Waymo is expanding to other cities, though. They are 100% not ready for live testing, yet here we are

Agreed. The actually discovery is so cool, and the joke means people probably won’t read the article.

That is good to hear. Still not my jam, but always better to have a welcoming community

I think tactics can pretty easily be done while rping. They mostly want you not to use modern terms and follow the personality of your character as far as I can tell

I don’t think practicality is really the point, but I also am not a fan of all roleplay. It tends to be pretty hostile to new players

In most games/servers that enforce roleplay, it is a ban. Either temp or permanent

They aren’t wildly complex, don’t would be dobale for sure

It was a super fast print (about 16 minutes) so I went ahead. I think it’ll be fine, and I even had a random layer issue on the back side. Put it on the razor, and it used the angle of the blade to lock it in place, so I don’t think there will be much issue.

Lemmy is not letting me upload images on mobile, but I’ll see if I can do it on desktop

I’ll give it a shot too, since I have the razor for the one model they have released

I don’t know what you’ve experienced, but I have been 3d printing things for about 6 years now. With any decently tuned printer, these would be fine for the use they will get. I have the one razor they have released a part for, and the 3d printed parts are not going to experience much in the way of force that would separate the layers. It doesn’t help that I don’t think they followed their own guidelines when printing the examples. The layer height is huge which makes the layer lines stand out. I bet that was so they could more easily be identified as 3d printed with an FDM printer, but it looks really bad.

Is there an outfitter like REI in your city? They often have classes and clubs as well. You could also try something new. Maybe since you like video games, give board or tabletop games a try and go to a local game shop for a game night.
