I can definitely see certain brands doing well with their own forums. Sports teams would be a very good niche for hosting their own instances. Another one would be the entertainment industry. It's just not feasible for companies that aren't interesting to talk about. Like there won't be a Coca-Cola instance worth a lot of users.

"Metaverse" was the idea that you would use only Meta services instead of the wider Internet. Much like AOL and Yahoo tried back in the 90s and 00s.

I don't see how this is much different from u.s. police. You could easily be charged with "assaulting a police officer" in the u.s. if a cop wanted to be a jackass. You could get thrown in jail for months or years until it gets sorted out even if you are found not guilty.

It wasn't attempted, it was vehicular assault and reckless driving. Not sure about the definition in AZ though. It was also excessive force when he used the vehicle to ram the trailer and when they intentionally pressed her against the hot tarmac to cause pain or injury.

They will claim qualified immunity, however, in my opinion, a claim of qualified immunity is an affirmative defense in a civil case. Meaning that the individual officer is admitting that they did something, but cannot be held personally liable for it.

In keeping with Nintendo naming conventions it with be the "switch u" or more likely "switcheroo" It will be a VR based system that seems like an add on peripheral for the switch, but is actually a new system that nobody buys due to confusion and lack of titles.

You're probably too young to remember when computers were a huge pia to use. Your MIL probably knows more about PCs than you do if she worked in an office in the 80s and 90s.

NPCs is ten times worse because it is used to dehumanize people you don't agree with, further alienates you away from normal society and pushes you deeper into cult like thinking.

When I worked at McDonald's I would "kill them with kindness" my manager would get calls from people so pissed off because I would escalate the niceness to match their enragement.

Customer: "you can't do anything right!"

Me: "Have a wonderful day!"

Gets them mad for sure.

The advice on stack overflow is trash because "that question has been answered already" yeah, it was answered 10 years ago on a completely different version. That answer is depreciated.

Not to mention the amount of convoluted answers that get voted to the top and then someone with two upvotes at the bottom meekly giving the answer that you actually needed.

It's like that librarian from the New York public library who determined whether or not children's books would even get published.

She gave "good night moon" a bad score and it fell out of popularity for 30 years after the author died.

I always assumed that trolls used it for brigading since people on 3rd party apps couldn't see it.

Yet they don't censor the information on how to steal cars which has caused a widespread issue in the United States with Hyundai/Kias being stolen.

Community idea: we develop a fake company that we all "work" at so that we can vouch for each other and use our "experience" on our resumes.
