I learned in my youth not to read reviews of things I like. It's unpleasant and pointless to read someone savaging your favorite albums or books.

(More critical analysis can be fine, but regular Internet reviews are not so worthwhile)

Oh, I left it for a while and it loaded. There wasn't a moving progress bar or animation, so I thought it was frozen.

Doesn't seem to work on Firefox android. Just a still image on clicking the link

In-group to protect, out-group to bind. That's all.

Tacocat were great, but I'm pretty sure one of them is a dude. Sad the band is on indefinite hiatus last I heard.

Sanction can mean a punishment or an authorization.

Came up in a DND game where a devil's contract said the players crossing the region would be sanctioned, or something like that. Players thought it meant they had permission, fine print said they would be punished.

Instead of a grid of apps on your home screen that you tap to open, and then tap and swipe and tap some more, you’d simply tell an AI agent to do something, and then it’d do it for you.

I don't understand why you would want an "Agent" to do stuff for you. This whole thing is just built on the assumption that people are helpless idiots. Which, maybe has some truth to it, but I'd rather spend billions on education than this slop.

Being ruled by the UK would probably be an improvement

Reminded of when Thanos says "you should have gone for the head"

Modern social networks are pretty trash, but I don't have an iPhone so this is a non starter.

Even so, I'd rather just... text my friends.

Read.

Hang out with partner or friend. That usually means reading, watching something, playing a game. Sometimes just lounging near each other.

Play video games.
