Bungie wasn’t a Mac exclusive company. They were a Mac first company. Oni, the game they made right before Halo, was released to Windows and PS2 after it was released for Mac. Halo could have had just a big of an impact without being owned by Microsoft.

If Bungie stayed independent, Halo might have been a one and done game and they would have moved on to other IPs though.

ACAB is ACAB the world around.

The terrifying thing is, body cams probably did change how cops interact with people. They were that bad before. There’s also been a few times when a cop their forgets to turn off their body cam or arrives late and got in some trouble.

If you actually owned the car and the software on the car, then you could set the feed to be stored offsite somewhere. Even if the cops knew it was being recorded, they wouldn’t be able to get it deleted. Even if they deleted the local copy, they wouldn’t be able to know how many backups there are.

A camera that faces both the driver and front windows by default, but only stores it where the owner wants it stored would be nice. Making it a default would change how cops interact with people.

Not if the equipment gets unloaded in the black market.

They would be deeply confused by our seeming hatred for France, then be deeply confused why America is fucking around in other countries.

Thomas Paine might be a little happy about a few things though. Hard to tell.

Why?

Just saying something stupid online isn’t sarcasm.

Sony still seems especially bad about this. They fought for decades to have the dominant physical media format, from Betamax, to Minidiscs, to Memory sticks. They would eventually win with Blurays by selling the PS3 at a huge loss and now they want to abandon physical media?

360 was fine on paper, but the RRoD plagued it.

Wouldn’t that have been the Golden Horse Armor?

Sony is a weird shitshow of a company. Too big and too many departments and branches, with no one knowing what the other is doing. Back in the day, as Sony Electronics was developing their first physical MP3 player, Sony Music was lobbying to make MP3s illegal. Department heads shift to a different branch and shutdown anything their predecessor was working on.

24+ hours? Wow.

Not those blues, purples or greens.

I’m growing some “The Eleven” tomatoes this year, which is a hybrid of a cherry tomato that was spliced with a Snapdraon flower to have higher levels of the anthocyanin, the antioxidant that’s found in many blue produce.

The robots were a metaphor for minorities or immigrants.

“Good”

I think I explained what I thought well enough. Both Empathy and “Learning by Example” are tied to Mirror Neurons. In short, assholes tend to be very dumb. At least in my experience.

I don’t see intelligence inversely correlated with racism either.

I do. Racism is in direct conflict with Empathy and Empathy can be biologically explained by Mirror Neurons, which influences how learning works. At least the Learning by Example type of education.

While good in theory, I have never heard it being taught that way.
