So nobody actually claimed they were robots. This article is just sensationalist clickbait garbage for people who really want to see a chinese company get “BUSTED!” for something. Twitter replies are full of racism.

Wait a moment, did anyone actually think those were robots? Did anyone claim they were actual robots? I saw the videos going around and people were generally just impressed at the makeup and costume work.

Replies in the twitter link make me laugh though.

@VicBeeSee: Full on idiotic post, the company didn’t pretend they were robots.

@Byron_Wan: It did… it didn’t tell others that those were human beings.

This either sounds like someone trying to make an issue out of nothing, or someone who got momentarily tricked and is embarrassed about it.

Me because I started ironically and can’t stop

I’m impressed.

Just two more weeks

I tried to use Pocket because of Mozilla’s relentless promotion, but I ended up finding it too clunky compared to regular bookmarks.

First question: You use

--download-sections "*00:00-10:00"

as an option to download the first 10 minutes. The asterisk means the numbers are treated as a timestamp instead of looking for a chapter with that title.

Second question I don’t know.

Usually just a minute before vision gets blotchy, colors blend together and desaturate, and some things seem to move more around than others. For example looking at a dark painting on a bright wall makes the contents of the painting seem to jump more around than the wall around it. Staring longer makes things start disappearing as if my entire vision is becoming a blind spot.

They put out a single statement with no action, and everyone online instantly went “WE WON IT’S TIME TO CHANGE BACK TO POSITIVE!” and then a lot of cringy RP about democracy.

It feels incredibly artificial.

I always begin seeing weird shapes if I keep my eyes fixed somewhere. Doesn’t matter where it is, can be a white wall even. I don’t think it’s anything more than a quirk of how our eyes work.

Worth noting that the boomer wojak meme started as “That 30 year old boomer”. It was never about actual Baby Boomers.

As if someone took the concept of spaghetti code and applied it to an entire company.

I feel like a true meritocracy would be a system kind of like Plato’s republic where children are separated from their parents as early as possible and are all raised from the exact same level, so the only thing that sets them apart will be individual talent (their merit). If not this, then the wealth, status and connections of your family will influence your opportunities, which runs counter to meritocracy.

Safe to say it’s not a system I’d want to live in.

Anything good?

Then all of them. They are human beings, not black holes of pure evil.

why does it need to be built in? What’s wrong with downloading one extension and being set afterwards?
