xcancel, nitter and twitterwebviewer are all down. does anyone know of an alternative to those?

Well, they do seem to have a sense of humor. The "damn you tricked me" bit reuses your phrasing, yet if the shaming were serious, it would mean they are completely impervious to your arguments. Pyon read to me as someone more technically than socially skilled, who might have a social circle where it is customary to play the obnoxious expert so that nitpicking is funny rather than aggressive. They may not have registered that this is an inside joke, and what would have landed as lighthearted in their circle ended up hurtful and toxic out in the wild.

Wait a second is that ad thing ironical? Not a big fan of covert advertising.

The UK? I should really update my geographical knowledge, here I was, convinced Florida was in China

Fun fact: 'they' are human beings too and some of their interests do allign with yours. They have kids too and might want them to have a proper future, they don't want to fall I'll to cancer either etc

Hallucinations come up when asking knowledge bases questions, such as "In React’s Canary Fragment refs API, which FragmentInstance method returns a flat array of DOMRect objects for all children?" Or "Over what years did Roubini and Sachs examine 15 OECD countries when assessing trends in tax-to-GDP ratios?" While to me those may seem hyper-specific and unlikely to come up in a real context, students will absolutely ask questions similar to these.

principle of sparcity. for mutations, we assume it only happened once considering how highly unlikely it is to happen. it is what helps us determine how species are related. if notable differences are detected, like in that case or for example in the case of wings (bird wings vs bat wings), we do an exception.

may I ask how you set it up? I suppose you still have to enter your purchases manually, right?

non-existing? if we mean the same ads (mainly the cartoonish knight with bluish-black hair, though I've seen a caveman variant from another game) the game does exist. I played it about ten years ago, back when their ads were still the puzzles you supposedly need an IQ of 300 to solve. (kudos for keeping up with the times, I suppose.) /s it's a gacha money-pump, but I don't think the developers are strictly guilty of false advertising: from memory, the game does include one minigame or another reproducing the ad's loop.

Nitpicking but your examples all have a clear etymology that may even help you deduce the purpose of a thing. Hamburger means 'from Hamburg' and can be short for 'in the style of Hamburg', which sounds perfectly normal to a native. This is, would I say, less strange than if it was named 'Hamburg', which seems to be the case of IKEA furniture. Photoshop, in the same way, seems to refer to a photo workshop, which once again has an etymology, as it refers to the initial purpose of that program, reworking pictures. On the opposite, if things are just named 'for the lulz', and my desk is called Boston, my text editor 'golden retriever' and my lamp acorn, confusion may at some point arise.

Western medicine has been lax on ethos and rigor in the past and we ended up exterminating and neutering large amounts of the population to 'keep the genetic heritage pure'. That is still a major traumatism that forces us to approach medicine with a very strong ethos.

Natural selection had a say in female mammals leaking blood trails every month, which is, mildly said, fcking stupid. Natural selection does not create optimal beings, it creates stuff that, somehow, kinda, works. If you have the time for it, I highly recommend the lecture series on behavioral evolution by Robert Sapolsky, it's on the Stanford YouTube channel.

They just died that night in the video, being woken up destroys the remains.

isn't this an attempt at 'neutral journalism'? I am not old enough to be able to compare to what journalism might once have been, but it seems that the current trend in journalism is to be as factual as possible, without adding in one's own biases. Also, I often hear stuff like: don't put too much weight on what X says, he was wrong about Y. Lower journalist wages, a need for immediate reporting that undermines in-depth research and risking your own rep every time you put more than 'facts' out there just don't give any incentive to do more than pick out the quotes you want to use.
