If you want him to stop following you. Your best bet is to ignore him. The more you interact with him the more he's going to assume you're playing with him. If you're worried that people might make wrong assumptions about you being the owner, start wearing headphones during your walk, body language in general can be quite helpful.

If you're trying to leash him, a pole snare for dog catching would be a good investment. Might need some practice and you might need someone else to help too.

There are also sedatives that are relatively safe that you can use to lace his food with although you'd have to be careful that the wrong animal doesn't eat it and I doubt you'd be able to get a vet to prescribe you any of those drugs without first having examined the animal.

Honestly, I'm more surprised that animal control hasn't been able to catch him because really this isn't your responsibility.

'"You know, we're a platform where you can play Grand Theft Auto but you can also play Palworld. Where you can play Call of Duty and can also play Pentiment. That doesn't change," she said.' - yeah but now I can't play HiFi Rush 2 :(

Can someone explain what COLLA GREENS means in this context? Collared greens?

Yes babies are supposed to be fat. But not from sugar. To the best of my knowledge , when they are older and able to consume solid foods, things like actual fat or butter are fine ( the stuff that clogs arteries etc) but there is no point in a baby's development that requires sugar as a necessity.

So it's not really that the article is based on guidelines for adults and applying it to babies. It's simply that the guideline for babies is that sugar is not necessary and can actually be more harmful than a multitude of other alternatives that can fulfill the same energy requirements of a baby subsistent wholly on milk.

As you say, it is a little bit blown out of proportion and perfectly reasonable to rely on tools that can make your life a little easier but the article does make a good argument about not wanting AI 'slop' in video games / art in general.

What also doesn't sit right with me is how the studio didn't bother declaring that AI was used in the game. 'lovingly crafted, with a touch of dishonesty and intellectual theft'

From what I've been reading the past few years, job security for developers doesn't exist beyond the current game they're working on.

I wouldn't worry too much about it whatever the case. Between interpreting a comment as one full of positivity VS one that is potentially sarcastic, I would interpret it as a positive comment 100% of the time. I mean, why not? Thanks for sharing!

Well, they didn't get to where they are now in life without some sacrifices (of other people's time and money)!

Also you need to teach me the hand sign for "you're a fucking wanker" I would very much like to use that more often.

Honestly I think this is the way to go. You can only avoid it for so long. Rather than trying to stop them it's probably more effective teaching them control and how to navigate this flood of potentially dangerous influences.

I find it so odd that positive news is titled using negative words like 'slowing' and 'loss'. Makes me sad.
