  • The “theorem”, if we wanna call it that, says that, given an infinite amount of monkeys and time, they could write Shakespeare.

    This doesn’t mean it’s actually possible in the real world, it’s just to say that random events can seem, from the outside, like intelligent creations. Like a cloud that looks like a pig, no one actually created it to look like that, it was just random happenstance.



  • Then there’s Italian. We have less letters than other European languages (we don’t have k,j,w,x,y) and we still manage to avoid shit like “thoroughly” or spamming letters. We have accents, but use them way less than in Spanish and no special accents or characters like ñ ç č ß å ø ö etc

    Once you understand the rules is probably one of the easier languages to spell and pronounce







  • If perfected means they put it even where probably there wasn’t a need for it, then yes. HSR is fantastic for connecting big cities, but it’s also very expensive and sometimes China has prioritized HSR rather than regular rail, even though there wasn’t a strict need for very fast expensive trains. Sometimes slower, more frequent and cheaper low speed rail can make more sense.

    It’s not bad per se, but it’s money that could be used for better purposes.




  • Regardless of the legality of the action or the product itself, a video reviewing, showing or reporting on it shouldn’t be passable of a copyright claim.

    Even if the video shows copyrighted material, it still shouldn’t be allowed for Nintendo to claim it, as that would fall under fair use. Just showing a few screenshots of a video game for the purposes of education in an otherwise unrelated video would never fall under copyright infringement.

    The piracy argument has nothing to do with Nintendo claiming a video as their own, despite them having no rights to do so.

    That’s not at all how piracy works. They don’t lose any money by me not buying their product, the money was never theirs to lose. They can earn money if I buy it, but if I don’t, then nothing changed. It’s not like every company is entitled to my money.

    Pirating or using Gimp or Krita instead, has the exact same effect on them, ie me not buying their product.

    So the stupidest most gullible people you’ve worked with seem to live on that feed having lots of ad impressions, which are likely to be quite effective due to how gullible they are and the fact that they are all adults with money, and you are asking why MS doesn’t remove the feed?

    I wonder too…
