  Until we:

  • Ban buy-to-let mortgages.
  • Ban landlords from owning multiple houses.
  • Invest into social housing and ban so-called “affordable housing” lettings. We’ll continue to be stuck in this downward spiral.

  The problem is, everyone in power is a landlord or otherwise benefits from the current system, so nothing changes and we continue circling the drain as a society.

  A Razor product that doesn’t work as advertised? Consider me shocked.

  I’m looking forward to seeing this, the one-shot was a fantastic read. I hope they manage to nail the effect of seeing Kyomoto’s artwork as well as the manga did.

  How the fuck does a chat program justify a workforce of one thousand employees in the first place?! How do they expect to ever get in the green when they’re spending that much money on staff?

  Is their entire business model to just endlessly pull in V.C. money and “grow” until they can’t get investors on board anymore? Actually, don’t answer that one, I assume that’s how almost every tech company works these days, and at some point it’s all going to crash.

  That’s great. Now try training that model on a 4080 and you’ll see it’ll take significantly longer. Try amassing the data needed for training on your home PC and see how much longer beyond that which you’ll need. There’s a reason the current race is down to just a few companies, it costs pennies to run queries on an existing model, millions to build that model in the first place.

  Ah, there it is. Say it louder for those at 99 IQ in the back that you’re lumping in with this guy. That is, if you think they’re even smart enough to be able to understand you in the first place.

  And it wasn’t a question you posed at all- it was a generalised statement that you consider half the population to be “dumb”, which, in a roundabout way, is where I’ve been going with this.

  You’re the one that brought up IQ in the first place, you can’t blame me for engaging on that.

  It’s hard to detect a joke when it doesn’t exist in the first place.

  Approximately half the people in the world have an IQ in the double digit range. IQ literally has its mean at 100 for a given population. I don’t think I understand what you’re getting at there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keir Starmer set to reject EU overtures to join revamped bloc as 'non-starter'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Politics is fucked up, glad you noticed. Lib Dems are also sellout liars and there will never be another referendum. Sorry to burst all your bubbles at once, but that’s the way it goes in this country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keir Starmer set to reject EU overtures to join revamped bloc as 'non-starter'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Voting for a party that will get into bed with the Tories at the first sign of power coming their way, a party that has repeatedly said they will not do a deal with Labour, is a vote for another Tory hegemony.

  Lib Dems had one chance to show they wouldn’t sell out and they cheated their core demographic that got them power. They don’t deserve a second chance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keir Starmer set to reject EU overtures to join revamped bloc as 'non-starter'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised he said anything considering his track record on not taking a stance on things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brexit: Labour will seek re-write of deal, Starmer says⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, Starmer actually managed to decide on a manifesto pledge? I was starting to think that indecisive git was incapable of actually standing behind a statement. At this rate, we might know where Labour stand on a whole three issues by the time the general election is called.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some great open source games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Helium Rain launched a few years ago as a commercial game with an open source launcher (BSD-3), and as of a few weeks ago the game became free on Steam. The developer is no longer maintaining it, but there’s still a small community that are interested in it.

  One day, one of these stunts he pulls is going to end up ruining whatever company he does it in, and I’m all here for it. Though we’ll probably never know since he’ll just blame it on something / someone else and his little muskettes will follow along.

  So a random woman stole the items, changed her name to Turing a few years later, then 35 years later tries to loan the stolen items to a university pretending to be a relative? What an absolute nutcase!!
