Do you think aws engineers use aws services to maintain aws?

Music does not “require” physical effort or social interaction. The same goes for books, movies and tv. Would you dismiss those, too?

Video games are an art medium, with exceptions to every one of your points.

Motion control games require tons of physical effort.

Multiplayer games literally cannot be played without other people.

There are games for couples, friends, parties, and quiet alone time.

It’s an entire art medium, one which INCLUDES entire other art mediums like writing, music, acting, and more.

Your opinion is based on an incredible narrow interpretion of what video games are and can be. Or perhaps you haven’t checked in on gaming in around two decades.

Either way it’s resulting in absolutely horrendous advice.

Only a tiny number of the games I play and have played, are ones I would hold off on until I’m over 30 and married. Some people find their spouses because of gaming.

A LOT of games I played had their biggest impact around my 20s.

Thefuck?

Games are a hobby. If they give you pleasure and joy, then there is no “better” thing to be doing.

How much of your time at 18 should be spent on hobbies is a different matter, but to dismiss games as an unsuitable form of leisure at that age is insane.

The games people play growing up and as young adults can be formative and massively influential.

They tell stories, frustrate, entertain, let you form social bonds, and even enlighten you in ways no other form of media can by allowing you interactively explore the thoughts of other people.

Plus, I’m not even 30, I am already noticing a decline in my performance in terms of precision and reaction time when it comes to the competitive genre.

Extremely.

But he was also narcissistic enough to basically drop hints the whole time, even as he actively hides. While he knows he needs to stay hidden, he yearns for everyone to know that he is Kira, and to worship him for what he is doing.

He wants to openly taunt his detractors while never giving them actual evidence, but that’s stupid as fuck.

He nailed the lie to start, but fucked himself because of his arrogance and ego.

Yes.

If you always direct-play, the only bitrate you can use is original.

If you ever need to watch on a slow connections using a lower bitrate, that will require transcoding.

HEVC is proprietary.

AV1 is what we need. And a lot of newer hardware finally supports it.

Except OPs rule would essentially be identical.

When you see someone “treating others as they want to be treated” than that is what you’d do to them. Hence following that rule when it is deserved.

But unlike with “treat others as they want to be treated”, OPs version would mean you respond to malice in kind.

The increase is recent, and still rising.

That’s not really my point.

You can’t cancel out bad things with good things.

That China averages out to stats that look OK, doesn’t make the stuff happening in HK or Xinjiang go away.

If you cut up the population groups into multiple population sized chunks with the compared countries, they each will still have a better number.

Not necessarily. If you average everything, that hides any outliers.

The bigger the sample size for your stats, the less it tells you. You could have an entire country’s worth of people in China, living in conditions that lead to horrible stats, and have that essentially disappear in the stats of the whole country.

You should break stats down into smaller chunks. But not just arbitrarily. Do it by province, city, district. That’s how you find the problem areas. The bigger the area you measure, the less the stats tell you about the individual citizens.

Every 100 000.

This is formatted to imply percentage, but for that the decimal points on these should be moved three digits over.

That 16.6 is 0.0166%.

Well yeah.

You’re not going to see a significant suicide rate, if the people who might kill themselves, are killed by something else first. Mostly looking at NK.

As for China, their population is so large that almost any bad stat looks small. Zoom in on someplace like Hong Kong, and the stats go right back to concerning.

Never occurred to me.

Way too many of these where I live, leaving absolutely no room for the imagination in terms of how they work.

There are so many of these it makes more sense to modernize the existing carriages to bring them up to modern safety standards.

The simple cage around the shaft remains, leaving the machinery completely open to inspection for anyone and everyone.

I was watching in the android app. Wasn’t obvius.

Is there a way to watch the auto-dubbed videos with original audio, and subtitles?

I was only able to turn on subtitles for the original foreign language, but the translation obviously exists, since it was auto-dubbed…

Reminded me of this thing I did with google assistant back when it was just a chatbot you had to deliberately access to use.

“I have passive income” is literally just “I run online scams”.

This is no different from people in places like india doing phone call scams.

Historically, there is no need to share a border with the US for them to come fuck your shit up.

Whether they leave you alone is… Not about whether you border a NATO member country.

Certainly not if you’re Russia.
