Just the adoption fee or what you paid to whoever you bought it off of.

Then it was free.

And here's an older picture for evidence with all but 2 of them present. 1 of the ones not present died to a dog attack several months after, but these and the unphoto'd father are all still present, making 9 of the monsters in total (8 in pic). We tried to find some of them homes, but any takers flaked out and the shelters were over capacity.

The landing craft is on the far right.

For the animal itself or the vet trip to get shots/fixed?

I'm assuming the animal itself, if so it's basically two litter of cats for free. Ofcourse "free" also cost like 400 something dollars for spay/neuter and shots for one. Might wonder how one adopts an entire litter of cats twice. The mother cat decides she's going to deploy them like a landing craft during a beach assault and you're overwhelmed by cuteness.

Nope, though I did actually want to play it. I forget what caused me to change my mind, and it wasn't due to the faces. It was probably the performance or a bug, where I noped out of even bothering.

They became distinguished gentlemen and started solving cold cases, world hunger, and invented the longer lasting lightbulb.

I presume this is why they got charged? That and easy access to a gun. Usually parents aren't charged this way if their child becomes a school shooter.

Yeah, it's not unheard of for an adult to essentially buy a gun for their child. The key difference being it's for teaching them how to safely handle, use, and respect it. It's also usually locked away to some degree.

I recall they did something 'similiar', but without the whole safety aspect, by essentially buying a gun for him, knowing he had issues/concerns, and still didn't do anything to prevent/mitigate it. They actually took extra steps in being reckless/stupid, compared to someone having their kid defeat their security methods.

It's even creepier if you know that they sometimes take into account your browser history and monitor your mouse movement to see if you look legit enough, the actual test itself is just for show to make you dance like a circus monkey for google's AI.

Something like that, iirc

I mean they aren't the same size, but there is something weird where the Sun is 400 times farther from us than the Moon, and the Sun is 400 times larger than the Moon so they can perfectly align like that.

There's that whole hollow moon theory, and that the moon is artificial + intentionally set at that specific distance for whatever reason.

This topic made me mildly curious and I think AI needs to be stopped. Kayra knows too much.

Tell me how a dozen eggs will take over the world, starting with GameFAQs.
With a dozen eggs, it is possible to hatch a flock of chickens that will take over GameFAQs, spreading their influence across the internet. This will eventually lead to them controlling the site, changing its layout and rules, and even banning users who disagree with their ideology. It is a slow process, but one that will eventually lead to the takeover of the world through the power of chicken dominance.
However, in order for this to happen, the eggs will need to be fertilized and incubated. Without a rooster, it will be impossible for the chickens to reproduce and spread their influence. So, unless GameFAQs has a secret breeding program that involves roosters and hens, the takeover will never happen.
Also, as a side note, GameFAQs does not appear to be a viable location for chicken reproduction, as there is a lack of grass, soil, and other necessary materials for raising poultry.

So the use of AI branding is purely one of marketing and to attract investors.

Yeah. Train a large language model so that it can predict what word/letter is most likely to follow another, in sequence. Teach it all the information one can scrape off the internet, lobotomize it to remove violence, bigotry, sex even though it's still got it deep in its core.

All so it can make a very believable user review/slogan for a product no one needs.

"kinda" but no.

The best way to describe it is a very highly curated predictive text generator. Kinda like the auto suggest on your phone. The difference is there's weights and randomization to try and make it different, while it's still largely force fed already obtained text that others have created in the past. They pretty much don't learn from users themselves, which is a good/bad thing, as they only know what their creator wants via training data and self censoring.

It may say or claim it's sentient, but it's pretty much just pulling from a sci-fi novel and assuming what would follow those words as they generate.

Now, this isn't to say there isn't a sentient AI out there somewhere, but it's none of the current consumer accessible ones. Not in the true sense of AI that you're probably thinking.

Things like this give me that cozy feeling, like it'd be nice to just shrink down. On the other hand, it'd probably drive one crazy after a point due to having no where to put stuff. And like the great Carlin once said... we need more stuff.

Joe Versus the Volcano

.... fuck

I automatically thought of Silent Hill.

It's got what CE needs, electrolytes!

I dreamed about some sort of fantasy/video game like setting and there was a weird glow/film tint. That's the best I can describe it as I could stand there and see different biomes, such as a snow one, a star/cosmic like one, a dark forest, and something else. There were also like creatures or something guarding each one, that I had to defeat and overcome.

Though notably for some reason there was a giant black panther with red glowing eyes (scale wise would be roughly chimera in dragon's dogma vs average person), I was supposed to fear and defeat. I also got this overwhelming sense it was female for some reason. However, instead I was nice and gave her a petting. So she approached me like prey, and I expected to be harmed... but instead I was pulled in with a foreleg and given some very vivid nuzzles and a sort of protective hug.

I really don't know how to interpret it, but it was nice to be cuddled by big kitty. I usually get weird flying dreams and stressful/violent ones.

Finally, it paid off randomly thinking of Krystal fox and going with it.

I should have thought of someone else, but she'll do.

Oh, as for how I react and what I do. I'll be more confused as to why I'm at a live sporting event. I'll totally try to smooch, it'll be worth it.

Is this possibly because of my one post? lol
I only ask because of the timing, but yeah... "human, because I'm human"

I even seen similiar stuff in a game like world of tanks/warships or such games if you could believe it. "I only play american tanks, because I'm american". Then they moan about being underpowered because it's not like the history/military channel told them.

1/10 stars

I saw this movie last night, and my popcorn butter melted through to my pants. So for 2 hours 40 minutes I had butter pants while this kid wouldn't stop crying. I will never watch this movie again due to the emotional trauma and the director should should shot for allowing this travesty to be released. Movie itself was fantastic, however.

I only just popped that out, but I love it when you see reviews for anything similiar to that. They give it the lowest rating, because of some arbitrary thing while praising the movie/product for being fine.

From what history channel told me, that's partially true for the gladiators themselves. It was the prisoners, christians, and animals that didn't do so hot.

Looks like one of the ones in Dead or Alive Xtreme beach volley ball.

Another classic game for enthusiasts.

I remember in the first game, before the first major update, where you only got 1 port crystal near the end of the Main Quest and had to basically walk everywhere, uphill both ways.

It wasn't until later that they made it "easier" and looking at these micro transactions, they look like the ones in MH... where it's a 1 pop shot, so you can only buy each one once. It's literally for idiots that can't be bothered to play the game for more than a few hours, to gain essentially no benefit. It's more like an "I messed up real bad" thing. Though, I do agree it's kinda dumb that they exist... but it's totally unneeded, unless you really really need a bump of rift crystals, because I almost assure you with them being labeled A, B, C, you can only buy that dlc ONCE, and you better not mess up those 1500 rift crystals or you're really screwed.

Somehow I think how they handle it is even worse, as on one hand you can literally ignore them. However, if you rely on them, you're quickly left in a dead end after getting each pack.

This topic just reminded me of 7th grade, where my math teacher had on the front wall a quote from Adolf Hitler for all of us to see all year long.

I don't know what the quote was, or if he even actually said it. I think it was something inspirational, but hell if I can remember it. And No, it thankfully wasn't regarding The Final Solution, as some shitty and bizarre 'joke' related to math.

Yeah, I kinda have to agree that without other limitations this just comes off as "if a US company was equally farming our data it'd be ok, because the government could just slip right in." The real issue is that it's going to an adversary and thus a risk.

Blue has meowth, vulpix, and sandshrew... on the other hand red has ekans and growlithe. Plus the game corner difference.
Gee, my cousin sure screwed me over by forcing me to get red, lol.

harbingers of the honkerpocalypse

They did it to stop the harbingening.

I find this incredibly odd, because I actually have been, and I even let one out as I read this topic.

wut u gon do bout it

Yeah, usually it's always online and is steadily fed bits of updates over time, even if it's got a heavy single player element. It's so you're enticed to constantly be farming something due to fomo and eventually once they decide that's that, you lose it all due to servers or an account.

It also never really ends, as they add more and more to the story in content updates. Think Destiny 1 and 2, where they just started dragging it on and even started to fully remove content "because it's old and who cares, screw you"

I use Destiny 1 and 2 as a vague rough example, there's actually other/better ones I could have picked but I'm lazy.

I never got to play Oregon Trail. However, I do recall our old computer stuff was basically divided into two areas. In elementary school there was the computer lab room for us to all take simple tests after reading books, then there was the more fun room where it had learning games. There was some sort of weird dungeon crawler game where you had to fight words and math iirc.

After that it was actually a total lack of computer access until 8th grade (so from 5-7th nothing) where it was a bit backwards. In 8th grade we learned how to use Word, Excel, etc type things such as file saving etc, and had to type up lengthy things. Then came 9th where they then actually taught us how to use the proper homerow type of thing. Not like I can physically type "properly" anyways.

Oh, as for personal computer. My cousin had a computer for years, then my grandparents decided to take me to Circuit City and get a computer so I could use it for homework and such. Ofcourse, my dad never having a single interest in computers until then decided to lock it down for himself and I basically never got to use it. If he messed it up somehow, it was always my fault for putting all these games on it, which I didn't.

I'm going to add it to my ever expanding roster of games I buy, then never get to play, because I'm a heathen. I did finish the first, but man... it's like a world apart from now and then.

I'm pretty sure being into furry stuff is a life long thing... it's like being into any fetish interest, isn't it?

That being said, you can be a furry and not advertise that about yourself 24/7 if you aren't normally catering to furry content.

According to some, you're not allowed to be a furry after the age of 30, because "you're too old" and they call you a creep. Some also say you're supposed to out grow it anyways, like video games, so that shows that some are only really into it as a fad thing or gatekeeping. I do find it amusing some of the younger ones are trying to gatekeep it from the older ones, the ones that laid the damn foundation for it to even exist as it does now.

I'm such a vanilla type that I don't even like changing the settings.

There's been 3 tanks that I know of that had classified info leaked due to war thunder. The challenger 2, the leclerc, and maybe the type 59? It's one of the chinese tanks so stick 2 digits after Type and you've probably got it.

In regards to Fox news.
The one they interviewed initially identified as a wolf. Then in a follow up interview didn't, and came off like "oh it's just a fad" type of response. It came off as fairly dismissive. Then there's one with Jesse Watters twice interviewing someone in a fursuit that ran one of a cons, iirc. I don't recall how that one went.

That said, I don't think they were hostile to them, but I have heard them randomly rip into people that identify or associate with animals in the sense. Currently they're flipping out about the peanut butter toe licking highschoolers.

Fox news has totally done stuff with furries, even interviewed them at least 3-4 times. One being a therian as bonus, because they gotta really drill it in that "people identify as a wolf, for real"

I cannot express how much of a compliment it feels when I get accused of being like a feline, when I'm totally just being normal. Apparently I exhibit an aura or vibe without even trying.

Yes and it's only 2 discs on PS5 because Microsoft keeps itself in the stone age when it comes to physical media.

It's like 150 GB on PC and both consoles now as of Patch 6 iirc

What a chonker... I really do feel for those with less than stellar network speeds. You know you're kinda blessed when you can knock that out in less than 2 hours, meanwhile others go into multi day download sessions that actually end up starting over. There's actually an issue with PS5 where, due to the glorious way it works, if there's not enough free space it'll redownload it entirely even for a 400 meg update.

It was about 138 gigs on Series if downloaded, I haven't checked its size after the recent update that was like 48 gigs, so I don't know how much of that was actually overwrite and added.

Liepard, so it can lie and abuse me.

I just use the orientation of the hands and the notches, because some lack numbers. There's one watch/clock face that I think my dad either got or I came across and I immediately hated it. It had 3, 5, 7, 9, and 12 represented numerically.

"I hate this... I just hate it."

Because God knew it was coming and already had a plan. He just pulls the omipresent card and is everywhere, and jumps to a copy elsewhere.

They just think they killed em, because he luvs u and wants to test your will and bank account.

I don't know.
