  • I don’t think it matters. the specific ways in which email services work or are used are not what the analogy is supposed to explain.

    it’s supposed to explain how two people who log in to different lemmy instances is different from logging into Facebook and MySpace, or Twitter and Threads.

    "how does it work? aren’t they different sites?’

    “you know how you can have a gmail and someone else can use an outlook email but you can still send emails to each other”

    done. even 70 year olds would get it. problem solved. easy, approachable analogy.



  • yeah… for me I was willing to give black flag a chance to see if they would find a way to make a new series, maybe with a new current day plot, but nah. people seem to dislike the current day portion of those games but to me that was the main interest, along with the mythology…

    black flag’s current day portion was so goddamn awful, they turned abstergo into a parody of ubisoft? I don’t even know what they were thinking… but it was so immersion breaking. completely killed my interest.

    pirate stuff was fun, and it still had a nice plot twist near the beginning… but it was clear that the overall story was going nowhere so I just quit playing after that and decided that the series ended with 3.












  • copilot did the same with basic math. just to test it I said “let’s say I have a 10x6 rectangle. what number would I have to divide width and height by, in order to end up with a rectangle that’s half the area?”

    it said “in order to make it half, you should divide them by 2. so [pointlessly lengthy steps explaining the divisions]”

    I said “but that would make the area 5x3 = 15 units which is not half the area of 60”

    it said “you’re right! in order to … [fixing the answer to √2 using approximation”

    I don’t know if I said it then, or after some other fucking nonsense but when I said “you’re useless” it had the fucking audacity to take offense and end the conversation!

    like fuck off, you don’t get to have fake pride if you don’t have basic fake intelligence but use it in your description.
