Or even consistently. I was googling prices for something and the 'AI Overview' said it cost $20,000. Refreshed the browser and it said $25,000. Basically any math it does is gonna work like that. Can't believe people take these things seriously

I've honestly thought of South Park as just lazy - name literally anything and its stance is "I SHIT ON IT!!!!" I've treated the creators as low-effort numpties who just run the same filter on everything. I don't think it matters to them a lot what the target is, but that's hardly a defense of them.

I don't know, there's some media where it's definitely OK to just get highlights. SNL usually has like ten funny minutes throughout an entire season. Having to sit through the entire thing just to see them would be mind-numbing

I think there's going to be a bubble burst for some social media sites because they're hiding that their 'users' are mostly bots, and the ads they sell aren't being seen by many humans anymore

If you talk to Caesar he has a really in-depth explanation of why he set up the Legion as it is and the reasoning behind everything he does. It's of course all monstrous, but it's interesting to see that there's a very coherent driving philosophy for everything.

When I was in Shanghai, it was really common in snack sections of stores with other dried fruit, and then the fruit markets carried the fresh ones.

It's semantic broadening from unprotected sex to more generally going into something with no protection or prep. Don't know how long it's existed, but this Reddit post from a year ago talks about 'rawdogging Thanksgiving' - ie spending it without drinking

I can't bear the thought of rawdogging Thanksgiving tomorrow. What should the rules for a Macy's Parade drinking game be?

Those of you saying this isn't the real meaning, you're right. That's why 'Rawdog Simulator' is about having unprotected sex with planes
