Didnt they fire the last person who reported revised numbers like this? Is this the same reporting or is it happening again?

The same proportion will be given but the total revenue overall should shrink with less viewers, so less for each creator.

I agree, people forget how fake the internet is.

I like Olauncher a lot but I can’t do like a feature comparison with Nova, I never used it. Hope you find something good to replace it with though!

Do you always make excuses to make shitty decisions? Or just contrarian?

Sort of like a police strike for better conditions for the public.

This is bullshit. I’d rather sell my house and move to a poorer area and find a job where I don’t hurt people for half the pay, then to hurt people as a police office or in the military. I would expect a wife and children to be pretty understanding of that. And yes I have a mortgage, and no I’m not rich.

You dont have a line you wouldnt cross at work? Arresting someone carries a risk of harm, would you harm someone else daily whilst looking for new work?

There isn’t much of a difference between addiction and dependence, if any. Some find abstinence is more successful than tapering, but it really depends on the person. Tapering isn’t as simple as you might think either, many fail due to incorrect methodology rather than willpower.
- Comment on Who is the enemy? 1 week ago:
Its really hard to be in charge of your own taper, self control is usually lacking in substance abuse situations.

I think knowing him made me reframe how I view caffeine. I treat it as a potent drug and it seems to affect me that way now, so I barely use it.

I hate that computers=troubleshooting, to the point where I won’t buy stuff with unnecessary computer electronics in it. Its getting to the point where I look at a product and just convert it in my head to however long I think it will take out of my life to troubleshoot it repeatedly.
But yes, I still work in IT by choice, for some reason.

I think most people avoid games that are so different from what they have aged before that they dont know where to even begin. This happened with baldurs gate 3 a lot because it was so popular but also a new genre for most.
Do you still learn games quickly if they are entirely foreign to you? Last couple examples for me were satisfactory and minecraft, and both took quite a while to become proficient in.
All that said, I dont think variety streamers are playing complicated or complex games with long learning curves to begin with, so them struggling at normal platformers and such is pretty ridiculous.

I was in a waiting room at a hospital recently, and there was a homeless person trying to get out of the heat there as well. He was talking about how he hasnt eaten in days and he doesnt know what hes going to do. Not five feet from him is multiple vending machines filled with food and drinks, just a thin piece of glass barricading them in.
Seeing both of those things next to each other at the same time made me so angry. I dont really know what I’m angry at or who needs to fix it, but I know there’s a problem there that should be fixed.

Actually everyone hates engineers.

We should invent standard computing time (SCT) or something and use that.

I think the average consumer simply believes its not legal to lie on packaging like that. They might not have even asked the question of whether JTS true or not.

I worked with someone who would bring 4 cans of monster to work every day, but he told me he was essentially addicted. He said he’d get pounding headaches if he didnt drink them now. Its probably not all that different from a cocaine habit.

All good advice! I was mostly commenting on the price of it being absurd, I haven’t purchased a copy since XP possibly back in the day.

I found popos to also be beginner friendly, and I believe at the time it was specifically for people with nvidia cards but I’m not sure that makes a difference anymore.
Either way I liked that popos was being supported as a product by a company selling hardware, it seemed more reliable at the time.
Mint is great too, I believe both have windows style desktops you can choose, and also have app stores you can install programs through instead of using command line.
I’d recommend downloading both and then load them up but dont install them as you can test them out before going through the installation wizard.
Last thing is to make sure you know the category your OS is. You will need to web search for the more general category sometimes, for example with popos it would be Ubuntu. Popos and mint both have great documentation online though and forums and such.

Almost all of it comes down to how long it takes to raise children. It takes a lot more people and effort and time to raise humans vs any other species, and its made us unique in that we have essentially support roles. Elderly people, people who can’t or dont want to have kids of their own, even older children, all have a role to play in making sure we make it to adulthood and continue the species.

To be fair you are supposed to get her back when she’s above you, its unwritten relationship code.

Private gun ownership is an answer to a systemic failure, so yes I’m asking for concrete examples of when that system failed. Is your argument that guns prevent rape, murder and assault generally?
- Comment on Concealed Handguns Create a Climate of Fear, Gun Industry Research Reveals 2 weeks ago:
Why would they treat him so differently than you? Thats extremely unfair. At least you didnt need a gun to fix that problem though.
- Comment on Concealed Handguns Create a Climate of Fear, Gun Industry Research Reveals 2 weeks ago:
You might know your own mental state enough to know you won’t shoot yourself but thats a bold claim to make for family members that live with you as well. I’d rather not take the risk.
- Comment on Concealed Handguns Create a Climate of Fear, Gun Industry Research Reveals 2 weeks ago:
This just leads to people bringing weapons with them when they commit crimes as they may also need to defend themselves.
To be fair though if you live in a high crime area there might not be a good answer for how to protect yourself.
- Comment on Concealed Handguns Create a Climate of Fear, Gun Industry Research Reveals 2 weeks ago:
When has the government failed to protect your or family members? Dont you think those would be the exception rather than the rule? If you are gearing up for the revolution I can’t blame you but I doubt you need to protect yourself in that way unless its from animals or you are a drug dealer.
