Mitch Gaylord was an Olympic Gymnast and bad actor, he invented two techniques, namely the Gaylord Flip and the Gaylord Two.

And also Ubisoft isn't American, they're a French company. So instead of Guile we should have Manon.

Her Color 2 for that outfit is trans flag colors. Idk if it was confirmed that she's trans, but if she is, she's not the first trans character in Street Fighter.

Vegeta's first act on screen is to blow up an entire planet, probably killing hundreds of millions

An AI (in its current form) isn't a person drawing inspiration from the world around it, it's a program made by people with inputs chosen by those people. If those people didn't ask permission to use other people's licensed work for their product, then they are plagiarising that work, and they should be subject to the same penalties that, for example, a game company using stolen art in their game should face. An AI doesn't become inspired, it copies existing things to predict what it thinks its user wants to see. If we produce a real thinking AI at some point in the future, one with self determination and whatnot, the story will be different, but for now it isn't.

I work in IT, and every time I do an install (sometimes new computers, sometimes not) for someone I see Microsoft's little News widget they put on the Taskbar, the one that pops up a huge window if you mouse over it. Every time I see that, I ask the person if they ever use it, and they always say no. Then I ask them if they want it gone, and they always say yes, usually with some kind of relief. It's a matter of two clicks to do it, easier than going into the settings menu like your screenshot, but every computer I haven't been on previously has it. Now, I'd wonder why Microsoft would put something on the Taskbar that is, in my experience, universally disliked. To me it reeks of the pathetic, groveling, "I'll suck your dick" energy they have when someone installs Chrome.

Windows 10 changed a lot over the course of its lifetime, and while some feature are good, like Dark Mode, they're mostly useless or downright bad. So putting something that most people will never use and will greatly confuse and annoy the average user in a place that has been dedicated to a single function for at the very least Windows 10's entire lifetime (I think it's there in 8 and maybe 7 also) for seemingly no reason other than to fuck with people's muscle memory is just one more move very worthy of griping about, no matter how easy it is for users to turn off. Because 99% of users just won't, because they aren't confident enough to go futzing around in the settings. But they'll still get whatever god awful popup this button shows every time they try to show desktop like they've been doing for over a decade. It's yet another change that nobody asked for, nobody will use, and that the user will have to remember that it's different now for no reason.
