Mario Kart karts “teeter totter” a bit to their edges and corners. These seem to always stay parallel to a “ground” plane.
The sound design is also kinda bad, particularly the effects.
This does look pretty dope though! The Sonic universe is honestly perfect for this.

It’s a mix of “we use them to do things we don’t want to do” (which is wise) with “we don’t respect our junior devs” (which isn’t wise at all).
I love using LLMs to do stuff I don’t wanna do. But that’s not what you should have been passing to junior devs (unless it helped them grow/learn).

Because there’s journalists out there writing news articles in the style of Star Wars intro text?
That’s exactly the sort of thing LLMs are good for.
This isn’t just about graphical layout - it’s a different writing style than journalism. Read the actual text.

Counterpoint: it’s fucking hilarious, and it’s nice to have comedy articles bring back memories of my dead mom.
Why make a comment about it if you find it so “tiresome,” instead of just scrolling on? Seems rather self-inflicted.

3) Plugin hybrids. My RAV4 Prime gets me 40-50 miles per charge, and is a souped-up RAV4 Hybrid after that (as in, its 0-60 is the same as a Porsche Cayenne).
No need to install special hardware at home, but can use any EV charging spot (and actually fill my battery within their time limits, lol).

As usual, the last line/“up next” headline manages to be funnier than the entire video 😂 Which is already a high bar!

Then, our tax dollars were spent to do the same thing (and so much worse) for the next three-quarters of a century in Palestine.

Great video, but the unnecessary/low-frame-rate slow-mo and music make it a lot worse than the normal-speed footage with original audio would have been.

Okay lady, extinct yourself; the rest of us care about you exactly as much as people in 100 years will care (ie: not at all).
The only reason this would ever be a “crisis” is if men in developed countries were prevented from simply finding partners in less-developed countries.

I think that the “humanity/some subgroup is a scourge” stuff is a psyop from our neoliberal/fascist complex, intended to leverage liberal guilt to prevent our most intelligent/empathetic progressives (the biggest threats to the system) from reproducing (and thus from investing in humanity’s future).

For every rule, there is an exception.
Bojangle’s (and, to a lesser degree, Cookout) Cajun fries are that exception in this case.
Otherwise, this holds true.
Poor non-Carolinian souls might not understand.
