Don’t forget that Fallout New Vegas regularly drops below 15$ with all the DLC

Unfortunately that was common even before LLMs. I’ve ancountered at least half a dozen websites that mirror Stack Overflow questions, along with answers and comments, in a blog-like presentation.

Don’t compare yourself to others, what works for them doesn’t necesserily works for you. Do what you enjoy, try and spend as little as you can so you don’t have to worry about abandoning them and regret, and try and not hoard hobbies: if you buy a guitar but didn’t play it for 3 years, maybe it’s time to sell if and recover some money, if you know you don’t care about it. Just try and not feel too bad about it. Hobbies are and should be to enjoy passing times only.

I think because they try so hard to be edgy (eheh) and different from the others, by constantly trashing known tested paradigms, refusing to fix known problems, all whike trying to invent the “brand new thing” that nobody wants and never reallt works out.

Windows 8 ia older now (13 years) than XP was when 8 came out (11 years). Feel old yet?

Windows 10 is almost as old (10 years).

I think Skibidi Toilet is way healthier than mainstream comedic tropes like “fat guy funny” or “gay guy effemminate” that were soooo common in mainstream TV and now are (luckily) fading out.

Brainrot is equally stupid but more self-concious and more honest.

And to be honest, the first time I stumbled upon Skibidi Toilet, I thought it was a 2012 Garry’s mod stupid video, game me the same vibe.

However, Ai-slop brainrot (brainslop? Sloprot?), that feels worse. I know I’m pulling out the “kids these days card”, but what really changed is the media: TikTok and all the Tok-likes+AI are becoming better and better at rotting your brain. I don’t know if they really worsen the attention span, even temporarily, but I’m convinced it reduces people’s happiness and is the closest we can get to mind control as the consiracists intend it to be

If the situation turns out where Trump is falling (unlikely but not impossible), you accept a plea deal with current Trump allies that will wait for him to look away and throw him under the bus, so someone else will take power.

That works under the assumption that Trump falls and crumbles

Maybe I’m reading wrong, but your comment seems to imply that Tian’anmen Square was mainstream media lies?

We really live in crazy times

With the amount of work they are putting in compatibility layers technology, I wouldn’t be surprised if you could run The Witcher 3 on it out of the box.

At least they tried to hide it, now they don’t.

As for the cold war, if you consider the conflict USA-USSR they clearly won: Russia was, at least at some point, equally powerful to the USA technologically and militarly, what one did first, the other caught up pretty quickly, then the Soviet Government collapsed for various reasons, and they couldn’t catch up, now the USA is arguably the most technologically advanced country in the world, in many aspects.

China is catching up, but they are in no way equally capable.

I don’t want any “smart” crap in my house, I don’t want my appliances to be connected to the internet and to be controlled by an app, it should all be self sufficient.

And if you really want to add the option to be controlled remotely (but should not be the only way) make it a local connection, why should my phone connect to the internet to turn on an AC located three meters away?

I know, what I’m saying is that latte = milk in italian, so if you ordered latte in Italy you would get a glass of milk, that’s what I mean by mistranslation

English has a really bad habit of mistranslating things, for some reason latte = coffee+milk, while latte means milk

No shaming :) I can have a chuckle on a something that can be considered tragic, I just couldn’t tell if such messages were ironic or just oblivious curiosity.

That’s on my I guess

Is this supposed to be satirical? Because it looks like it.

I’m not saying women cannot monetize their bodies while celebrating their independency, I’m just saying this particular kind of porn videos do not give me this impression, especially since they always creep me out somewhat when I stumble upon one of them. They are either good actors or sometines they seeme genuinely unhappy to be in there.

Unfortunately the exploitation in the porn industry is so high, it’s entirely possible that one of these women didn’t really want to be in any video, especially if you consider that those kind of video are mostly filmed in low-income eastern europe country, so it’s either a localized cultural feticism, or just a place where it’s easier to find vulnerable girls.

People don’t like being told they are wrong, so, if you are sure they are indeed wrong, giving them the option to reconsider is usually more tactful and polite.

Also, I don’t know what your job is, but noone ks paid to be right. People make mistake because you can never be fully certain of anything. You are paid for your time/experience, and that allows you to be wrong (at least in a healthy environment).

Mine is Dyson because he eats any kind of food (regardless of who is eating at the moment) and he will always lick the plate cleaner than it was.
