The only part of my hair grooming that is “for myself” is trimming my mustache so food does not get caught in it.
Everything else is is for looks and other people look at me much more often than I look at myself. Even when I see myself in a mirror, I try to see myself as others would see me. My wife is the person that looks at me the most and is the person whose opinion is most important to me, so I ask for her opinion about how I groom myself.
There was a recent study that took MRIs of people over the age of 40, with and without shoulder pain. In 99% of cases, there was a shoulder abnormality. It was just that most people did not feel it or were not bothered by it.
Would you trust Eufy? A few years ago, they got in trouble because their cameras might only store footage locally but they stream to the cloud. They claim to have fixed the issue, but it is unclear if they mean that the footage is no longer being sent or if they just tightened security so that only they (and trusted partners) can watch it.

The poll does not break down if people are not buying it because they object to some aspect of the release or they are not buying it because the game does not appeal to them. It makes it sound like there is a large boycott of the game when it could just be GTA indifferents (like me) stuffing the ballot box.
If you are ever looking for a hippo alternate history book, try River of Teeth by Sarah Gailey. It is a heist thriller about LGBTQ hippo riding cowfolk.
I would play a warrior. I can make combat as interesting as I want. If I want, I can plan out grand tactics of pushing enemies into each other and into traps. If not, I can turn to the reliable “I stab the goblin with my sword” even if I am wielding a mace and fighting a dragon.
I cannot play mage because I am too loss averse and hate using mana/spell slots. I would never play rogue because the idea of playing a close range damage dealer that wears cloth armor is a good recipe to end up spending most of the combat on death saving throws.
From what I understand, the devs are not injecting their political views into the Lemmy code. That does not mean they have not had a pro-tankie influence on the Lemmy community. As the original developers, they also set up the first major instance, lemmy.ml and they moderate that instance to have a tankie lean. Since it was the first instance, many people created their first account for it and it was the de facto standard place to start communities. As far as I know, it is still one of the most active instances.
Some times. Officially, all games on Steam include DRM and are supposed to run except if launched from the Steam launcher. Some developers do not bother getting that DRM working correctly.
The headline is misleading. The article is even worse.
The girl was not killed for refusing to marry. The girl ran away from home over the marriage (the strategy had worked for her to get out of her first marriage, at age 13). She was caught by a neighbor who did something bad to her (she did not want to say what and her family did not want to hear it). When her family found her 3 days later, they killed her for hiding at the neighbor’s house (despite the fact that she was taken there unwillingly).
I assume that the article is supposed to support the point I was making? Most of it is talking about how big pharma invents new medicines and then sells that at a very large profit, which harms people in poor countries who are more likely to need treatments for diseases like HIV but have the hardest time paying for them.
There were the cures that worked in theory but did not work in actual cells. There were the cures that worked on mice but did not work on humans. There were the cures that cure cancer but have a higher fatality rate than the cancer. Those cases cover just about every cancer “cure” you read about in the news.
Then there are all the cures that work for some people some of the time. Big pharma has patented them and is selling them for enough money to cover all of the other cures that did not work (and give everyone a very nice bonus).
Seriously, if some phara company could cure cancer, why wouldn’t they? They can sell it for 100k per treatment, make enough money for each of the 10 biggest investors to buy a small country, and then close up shop.
Used Decks were priced very far above MSRP on Facebook Marketplace a couple weeks ago. I assume that means that the demand is there.
That mental health issues are real issues and not “just a symptom of poverty” or whatever other bullshit people say to make it a purely political issue instead of a health one.
Also, people who don’t understand the expression “you can’t buy happiness.” It does not mean that you do not need money to be happy. It means that no amount of money is going to help you if you do not care for your mental health.
I think the problem is not the crime he is accused of but the fact that he has outstanding arrest warrants he is hiding from. It would be awkward if all the kids gather for a tournament and as the judge is explaining game rules cops burst in and drag him away.
You still need someone to organize the tournament and generate pairings. You need someone who knows the rules about how to handle game glitches and know how to recognize if someone is triggering a glitch intentionally. The judge also needs to monitor player behavior outside of the game (When does a player celebration cross into taunting? When does a player reaction count as violent or threatening?)
For example this disqualification for shaking the game table: https://aftermath.site/pokemon-go-firestar73-disqualified-statement-community-outrage/
From the one law class I took in college, civil courts are for one person to get reputations from another. Criminal courts are for society to get respirations from a person. A criminal fine is about paying back society because your lack of following the law is making people around you feel unsafe.
The victim of your crime can sue you independently and get additional money from you. I believe they can even use the evidence from the criminal trial and a civil trial is much easier to win.
Handheld computers are competition to the PlayStation in the sense that Sony would want everyone who owns one to buy a PS5 instead but not in the sense that those consumers having an option is hurting sales significantly. I could not find actual numbers, but analysts seem to be estimating that Valve has sold about 6 million Steam Decks in total. For comparison, Sony sold 1.5 million PS5s last quarter, which is devastating since they sold 2.8 million the year before.
Also, that sales gap is going to get worse in the short term. Instead of raising Steam Deck prices or reducing profit margins, Valve has decided to stop selling systems until RAM prices come back down.
Bink from the Xanth novels. He is a magician who jahcndustbdrmicyd vjsybfkauchd auchwnzkhfmaicybfkaubd w
He has a magical ability that prevents him from suffering harm by conjuring impossible coincidences. It also prevents anyone from being told about the nature of the ability or discovering it via magical means.
Also, I am pretty sure he becomes the King of Xanth in one of the later books.
Job searches benefit from understanding industry specific synonyms and reading between the lines. That should be something a large language model could be good at.
For example, if I am searching for “senior front end web developer”, it may return a listing for “experienced software engineer” because it lists “5-7 years experience with JavaScript”. It could also list adjacent fields the user may want to consider like Project Management or being a Technical Account Manager for the right type of company.
Also, the risk of AI slop is fairly harmless. If done right, the AI should not be hallucinating job listings. At worst, it can show irrelevant listings while hiding good ones, but that is always a risk with search engines. The developers can mitigate this by mixing results from both the AI and conventional search engine and let the user provide feedback if a listing is relevant or not.
I am blissfully ignorant of what you are talking about. I assume that the first amendment auditors are just doing it to earn social media creator revenue, so the best thing you can do is to just block them. When you see people reposting their content or discussing them, just downvote and move on. It will starve them of attention and then starve them of food until they find a better way to spend their time.
