- Comment on Japan’s Birth Rate Set to Break Even the Bleakest Forecasts 2 hours ago:
Article claims they expected these numbers but in 16 years. Numerically, its not that far off from the expected number of 750k births. Its 90%. I dont think thats too much of a difference to be alarmed about until you read into it more. Taxes will increase and pensions will be effected if this continues. To make matters worse this is after they already dumped billions into policies like extra free money (63$ per month🤣) until child is in high school proving that current efforts are not enough. Shame they cant address the root cause:
real reason is that they were victims of the ‘ice age generation (job shortage generation)’ and the stagnation of economies that followed, which prevented them from marrying or having children if they wanted to,” she said quoting research data.

Would be nice if youtube made it easier to block channels.
- Comment on Where can I Ai a whole video? 3 days ago:
Mate im not an AI expert but no one Gave a serious answer yet. it would take a very long time. Even a 5 sec video could take 5 minutes to generate with good hardware and that’s 1 version. Think about all the prompts and loras and other factors to tweak to get it right. Plus with the items will likely be inconsistent throughout the movie. Forcing it to have the same accessories for each character for consistency will be frustrating. Maybe lower the scope to 1 still image with they are together in Riverdale.

- Comment on YSK about Project 100,000, when the US conscripted people with mental disabilities to be used as cannon fodder in Vietnam, suffering triple the casualties of other soldiers 3 weeks ago:
So the possibility Ogryn’s used in combat are more realistic than I expected.
- Comment on Proton launches privacy-first alternative to Excel and Google Sheets 3 weeks ago:
I recall him saying he was not american so it doesnt matter what he said. Which annoyed me cause then why open mouth?
That being said its more than understand the ceo is not the only voice in company and it was January 2025 so I may have outdated information if this stance is even relevant.
- Comment on Proton launches privacy-first alternative to Excel and Google Sheets 3 weeks ago:
Proton Mail has long positioned itself as an apolitical company, dedicated solely to safeguarding user privacy. That’s why many were surprised when CEO Andy Yen posted on X (formerly Twitter) that the political landscape in the U.S. had shifted, stating, “10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned.”
This was earlier this year. So sure its up to interpretation.

Sadly the job security in weapon manufacturer is pretty good. Least it was when I worked in one 15 years back. Pay was shite though.

I want to know how much time was spent “golfing for work”
- Comment on How do you objectively tell if a parents "I love you" is actually sincere, if they actually care about you? Or if the words are lies and they don't actually care? 5 weeks ago:
2 things they way they treat you normally and how they treat you when you are at your lowest.
To elaborate a bit more: did they do everything in their power to help and uplift you? Did they like spending time with you? When you did something wrong how did they approach it? What do you think was going in their head?
Like My Mom and father did everything they could do to help me. Even my father is heavily misguided, I chose to believe he was doing/saying what he felt was correct for me. Plus I never felt like a burden or unwanted. This is stark contrast to my SO mother who thinks kids are ball and chain and wishes she didnt have them.
- Comment on Maybe most of society doesn't have much critical thinking because those who get those "critical thinking" genes go crazy from overthinking things and therefore fail to pass on the genes. 5 weeks ago:
Just see all the RF Engineers with black candles and pentagram before testing stuff in the dark spikey room.
- Comment on Japanese court orders Cloudflare to pay $3.2 million over manga piracy 5 weeks ago:
Not that I think they deserve this fine but 3.2 million might as well be slap in wrist.

- Comment on Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic 1 month ago:
Yeah I can see that. 1st play through I stuck to objectives so I knew what was going on. Next round, I intentionally did stuff out of order which changes a few things. Easy to get lost 1st time around. Especially as environment changes.
- Comment on Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic 1 month ago:
I do recall they all lacked depth and combat programing. I think the game direction focused on the environment and story more than combat. Which is how I also remember dishonored.
- Comment on Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic 1 month ago:
If you like dishonored you should try prey by same studio. Level design is amazing and character interaction/plot changes based on how you play and where you are when certain events happen.
- Comment on People think AI creations are real and real stuff is AI 🤪 1 month ago:
Sometimes the stuff is ridiculous like cat sized as car. its the stuff more grounded in reality that gets hard to discern like cat size of a Labrador click bait.
Social media should mandate AI watermarks on content.

I agree but do you need that many? Id be worried about that many ppl with nothing to lose.
- Comment on Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved 1 month ago:
But you dont need them if AI and robots get the poors layed off. Thats the new slave labor force.
- Comment on Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved 1 month ago:
Sure but then why stop them from taking BCs? I HATE mosquitoes. If they actively taking BCs to reduce their long term numbers id be happy. It makes more sense to lean into it.
- Comment on Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved 1 month ago:
Which is why I never understood the anti birth control rhetoric from them. Like wtf? you hate the poor but wont them make choice for finacial stability? Sadistic pos humans.
