FSR4 has been great for me. Performance seems slightly worse than FSR3 but the increase in visual quality is well worth it, particularly because IMO FSR4 on balanced both looks and performs better than FSR3 on quality.
I still avoid it when I can because native rendering will always look best, but this is definitely really nice for steam deck where the hardware is much more limited.
On average there are 4.3 births per second, I’m not sure how that compares to in 1970 but its probably still more than 1 so its quite likely someone was born exactly on unix time 0.
I’d argue they do make strategic decisions, its just that the strategy is always increasing quarterly earnings and their own assets.
If the US ever bombs/invades another country to (supposedly) stop them from having nukes, we should start saying “nukes dont kill people, people kill people”
Experiencing certain forms of violence and harassment and having low-moderate social support from any source was associated with higher prevalence of suicidal ideation. Social support from family moderated the association between experiencing certain forms of violence and harassment and suicidal ideation (p interaction = 0.01); however, even in the presence of high family social support, experiencing certain forms of violence and harassment was associated with higher prevalence of suicidal ideation.

n = 1608 on this one.
Every study I’ve ever seen that looks at the link between social support and depression/suicidal thoughts in trans people shows a very clear link. Given the prevalence of transphobia in our society, this can entirely explain the increase in suicidal thoughts in trans people.
thats actually kinda crazy how much more readable that makes it
…still not super easy tho lol
Yeah I’ve felt similarly before. I agree with the other though, drinking more water helps.
A game made for kids should not allow sexually explicit material on their platform. And, in fact, they don’t, this kind of content is very clearly and explicitly against roblox’s content policy but they fail to enforce it.
Lower self-reported transphobia was associated with a 66 % reduction in ideation, and an additional 76 % reduction in attempts among those with ideation

An increase by one context in which a chosen name could be used predicted a 5.37-unit decrease in depressive symptoms, a 29% decrease in suicidal ideation, and a 56% decrease in suicidal behavior.

Socially transitioned transgender children who are supported in their gender identity have developmentally normative levels of depression and only minimal elevations in anxiety, suggesting that psychopathology is not inevitable within this group.

So yes. Increased depression and suicide among trans people is, according to the research, entirely correlated with social factors like how much they are accepted by friends/family and chosen name use.
This isn’t an age verification problem, its a moderation problem. A massive one. There’s hundreds of games that exist almost entirely for the purpose of grooming ppl (a common one is so called “bathroom simulators” iirc) and roblox frequently doesnt do anything about them until there’s public outcry about ine particular game, no matter how many reports come in or how obvious it is.
True, but I dont want reddit’s shitty NSFW tagging system to distract from the important issue here
So the thing that gets weird is that the heavier the particle is the more likely it is to interact with the slits themselves on the way through, in which case the wavefunction will collapse and it will seem to go through only one slit. Also, as the other person stated, even a hydrogen atom is really 4 fundamental particles that can interact with eachother. I’m not totally sure if double slit has been demonstrated with atoms but I do know it’s been done many times with electrons.
Edit: its actually totally possible to do it with much, much larger things. From wikipedia:
The experiment can be done with entities much larger than electrons and photons, although it becomes more difficult as size increases. The largest entities for which the double-slit experiment has been performed were molecules that each comprised 2000 atoms
And here’s the study that did it: https://doi.org/10.1038%2Fs41567-019-0663-9
I mean I could almost see that? Helldivers is kinda a satire on the american brand of fascism so it could be argued its an anti-fascist peace of media. But that’s a stretch to say the least.
But my real issue with this is that federal investigators saw something they had absolutely no clue what it is and called it a transgender symbol. Its an incredible amount of bias in a particularly very bigoted way.
Reminds me of a lyric from The Clash - “taking off his turban, they said, ‘is this man a jew?’” They see something unknown to them and just assign it to the marginalized group they have a preconceived notion of being bad.
Ehh, its a bit more than that.
Its a particle in that we know they are quantized into single photons. As in, it is impossible to observe half of a photon, or any non-integer number of photons, and one photon can only be observed in one place. This makes it like a particle.
But its a wave in the way it behaves - it can interfere (not just with other photons, with itself), and its movement can only be described through wave functions that can even take seperate paths at the same time, according to how waves propogate.
And, there are ways in which they act like particles no matter how they are observed, and same for wavelike behavior
Worth noting: “observation” is just physical measurement. You have to keep in mind that observing something fundamentally requires interacting with it - in order to look at an apple, photons must bounce off of it, which is a physical interaction. On the quantum scale, these interactions cannot be ignored.
Also also: this isn’t just photons, everything is like this. It may not align with how we observe things on a macroscopic scale, but this is fundamentally how the universe works.
At least is it 2 games bundled together?
Inb4 they say “its two games, so this will be $140!”
Ok but these are meant to be in bike lanes, sharing space with regular bikes. Part of the point of bike lanes was because it was dangerous for bikes to be sharing space with vehicles that can go so much faster than them.
Edit: imo if it has a throttle which can be used to keep up with motor vehicles then it is a motor vehicle. It should be classed with motorcycles.
If its gonna be considered a bicycle, it should have at the very least a speed limit on the throttle, or maybe no throttle allowed at all and pedal assist only.
This says that the “sequence of arrows” was interpreted as a transgender symbol.
Now we know that the sequence of arrows was “up, right, down, down, down”
…that’s the strategem code for the 500kg bomb in helldivers 2.
The ATF interpreted a video game reference as a transgender symbol…
Edit: another claim I’m seeing, quote from snopes:
Some users online claimed officials had misinterpreted “TRN,” an engraving found on ammunition produced by Turan Ammunition, a Turkish company, as “transgender ideology.”
This is a more logical mistake to make but is also an embarrassing and irresponsible mistake from the ATF if true.
It does need better tagging but honestly thats not the issue here. This is because of the new UK law, simple as.

Yeah this is a weird selection of companies. What about Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, even 4chan?
At the very least the social media sites that use algorithmic recommendations heavily. The recent shooting in Colorado got me thinking about how social media algorithms that repeatedly pushes content thats found to engage can easily cause people to fall into a spiral of radicalization. Even just the slightest interest in something, or even shock, can trigger their algorithms to get to work recommending similar stuff. News sites mentioned the kid in Colorado that shot up the school had social media accounts full of shit that glorified school shootings. How’d that start? Maybe something popped up that made a joke about school shootings and he thought it was funny cause its “edgy” or something? And then it remembers that, and pushes another similar post, and another, and on and on until this kid’s feed is supposedly full of this kind of content. I don’t know if that happened but it seems likely.
But nah, its valve that they’re going after. Cause I guess its always the video games that are to blame, right?
And discord? That’s just a fancy chat board. What’s next, should we question IRC? Email?
