This comment on the post indicates that it's a CitizenWatch article, but that article's own listed sources don't support the 60% number either (as I call out in my response to that comment).

I swear there's barely anywhere online anymore where people practice basic skepticism. If it aligns with their existing biases they just slurp it up, no matter how absurd.

Movie- Final Fantasy XV: Kingsglaive-

Good movie, but some caveats. Could never reccomend as a standalone thing. Some of the voice acting is questionable. Nyx (the main character) does a good job of not sounding like his VA, Aaron Paul, until the lines get strained or emotional and then it's like I'm listening to Jessie yelling at Heisenberg again. Really robs some of the more impactful scenes of their gravitas, because Nyx is a highly trained specops soldier, and the "Pinkman's having emotions" voice just doesn't fit the big scenes to me. Some sections of the movie feel rushed too, much like the game it's meant to tie in to.

As a companion to the game though? Great stuff. Recontextualizes a ton, and explains some stuff that was barely touched on in the game which could have used it.

I beat the game originally around release, and it's had a lot of updates since to further flesh out the story. I'm finally replaying it "complete" on PC with Royal/Windows Edition, all the DLC, a small selection of mods, and a guide to the important "non-game side-content" and when I should watch/read it.

Kingsglaive technically runs concurrent with Chapter 1 of the game, but it spoils the ending of Ch1 and part of the identity of a "mysterious stranger" character early. Best place to watch it for new players is probably after Chapter 1, but for returning players it's great immediately after the game's prologue/training section. The after credits scene leads directly into the opening scene of chapter 1 of the game.

I think the movie singlehandedly saves the character of the game's love interest/damsel in distress, Lunafreya. Adds a shit ton of depth to the game's MC's father. And knowing the end of the game makes everything hit harder.

I mean this sincerely: Am I missing something in their sources? None of their three sources about BNPL support the "60%" number for groceries.

CNBC mentions 60% of general admission tickets for Coachella being BNPL sales.

It and the other two articles state 41%-43% of generally surveyed people simply stating they used BNPL last year, not for what.

I'm not seeing any source for "60% of Americans using BNPL for groceries", and anecdotally that doesn't match anything I'm hearing/seeing in my day to day life. Economy's shit, but this feels a little "narrative"-y for my tastes.

This is Vital Proteins brilliant response to being taken to court over heavy metal and "foreign materials" contamination in their products.

What a cutie!

If you want, you can also cross post this to [email protected] and/or [email protected] too. Both are semi-active bun communities.

You're more than welcome to not come back if you find it that bad.

It sounds like you'd feel better not having to deal with all these people with... (let's see the thread...) different opinions about the usefulness of an AI summary. Edit: to be fair, whoever this person is, I already have them blocked. Maybe they were being belligerant.

100% sincerely, life is too short to spend on social websites you hate.

Or maybe different people find different things useful than you do. No need to be an asshole just because people disagree with you.

I have a problem with it. None of the information in that summary is useful except for maybe the list of Steam features at the end. So... about four words out of the whole thing.

The rest is context that I can already assume based off the page title and the URL, without some AI limply regurgitating it to me.

I'd extend that to most internet memes.

No.

Lemmy already has serious issues of political divisiveness driving off new users. We don't need to further that "to own the libs".

While I don't truly think that's why this is being suggested, we don't seem to have a good reason to refedrate other than "they appear to be behaving lately".

Also, the optics of the timing of this occurring right as Admiral Patrick is closing dubvee over (among many things) the general tone of discussion on Lemmy being abrasive as all hell in large part due to political division spurring disrespect? Not a good look guys.
