Lich king is where I stopped. But once they started adding in all the heirloom gear in all the benefits for super easy casual players the game stopped being as fun. I'm saying this is someone who is a casual player too. It lost all challenge. I'd be fine with the dungeon queue system, if you at least had to be in the area of the dungeon.

Alternatively, and possibly almost as useful, companies will end up training their AI to detect AI content so that they don't train on AI content. Which would in turn would give everyone a tool to filter out AI content. Personally, I really like the apps that poison images when they're uploaded to the internet.

You shouldn't just be voting for the presidency and I mean, while you're there you may as well for no extra effort. But otherwise, The popular vote helps show the opinion of the majority. It might feel like a drop in the ocean, but every ocean is made of drops.

I'm fine with just the security updates until 2025. I'm sure I'll eventually be able to move on to Linux by then.

As an owner of a plug-in hybrid this is patently incorrect. Most electric car owners have at most of 240 volt outlet (in the US), which while can fill your battery in a few hours from home, still falls short of the half hour round trip to gas station and back. Maybe with time our infrastructure and technology will get to that point though.

An unremorseful felon* (Not to split hairs)

I'm happy to say that I emphatically want better wages for service industry workers. IDC how much food goes up, or how many mega franchises have to close for it. Either better wages, or cause these these super franchises to close so mom and pops and open instead.

I also don't think it's unrealistic to expect businesses to give up a small portion of their infinite growth targets to actually cover their employees needs. Maybe a large departure from the past 50 years, but it's absolutely something most of them can afford.

If a business genuinely can't afford it, then I'd also be okay with my tax money going towards a business analysis for that owner to find a way to make it work. If they still can't, then how long were they really going to be open anyway and what were they really adding to their community?

If the typical cop can't be expected to uphold their duty to protect and serve then they don't need to be a cop. I do not care if American courts have suddenly decided that the oath and slogan used my police for decades is not binding.

They don't need bigger or better weapons, they need brains. They had access to cameras in the building. They knew and could have tracked the gunman using those. Set up around two corners near them, team 1 supresses to distract then team two takes out the gunman. Deploying the national guard would take too long, and not all cities have a swat team.

If "typical" cops aren't expected to risk their safety, then I expect them to take a "typical" paycut. Actually maybe that's what should happen. Separate real police and law enforcement. Real police get firearms and responsibilities, law enforcement can worry about tickets and fines.

Just for clarification, try what?

Hi friend! This looks like better context to me, so I'll add it here:

Anyone who knowingly pays someone else to request, collect, or deliver absentee ballots could face a Class B felony charge—the same felony class as first-degree manslaughter in Alabama—which carries a prison sentence of up to 20 years. Anyone who is paid to request, collect, complete, prefill, obtain or deliver a voter’s absentee ballot faces a class C felony—the same felony class as looting, third-degree robbery and stalking—punishable by up to ten years in prison

It sounds like this bill prevents people from showing voters how to fill out a ballot as well as picking up sealed ballots to deliver. The sentences look to be more severe than most of Alabama's election laws too. I'm looking forward to seeing how this is handled in court.
