and had a reputation - deserved or not - as a shining beacon of freedom and democracy.
As an European, I believe it was always only in USian minds. Noone on the continent thought so, we always saw you to be weird religious nuts who keep legal slaves to this day. Oh, and you’re warmongers.

Scrambled eggs or pancakes are the limit of the imagination I’ve seen from Italian restaurants. But most places have pastry or some variation of a sandwich that’s going to be mostly bread.
- Comment on hmm breakfast 2 weeks ago:
Granted, I know Italy only from a tourist perspective.
Every damn restaurant closes in the summer in the middle of the day. So do many shops.
Italy rarely have breakfast restaurants - or at least what I’d consider a breakfast restaurant. Some variations of a premade ready to go sandwich ain’t it. And the good places ain’t open in the morning, but rather during brunch hours and serve brunch/lunch more than breakfast.

I know you’re joking. You’re kidding, right? :)
- Comment on hmm breakfast 2 weeks ago:
Coffee and sweat pastry, or Coffee is something I commonly saw in Italy (and only Italy)
- Comment on hmm breakfast 2 weeks ago:
While we’re shitting on breakfast culture in Europe I think that Italians have the worst. They have messed up daily rhythm (siesta and then dinner late in the evening)… Actually no, that’s not an excuse. They have garbage breakfast culture, period.
Literally everyone else’s breakfasts are awesome.

I think the emphasis was on you calling it the normal town, instead of “boy town”.
Calling it “normal” and other “girl town” means that the “girl town” is abnormal.

I’m 35. Math major. Work in STEAM. Well educated.
I hate analogue clocks. Why use subpar way of reading time if digital is so much better?

The new Velma show gave birth to THE best fanmade animation about Scooby Doo youtu.be/inJUFqeJehE
So while I didn’t enjoy the show, I’m grateful for it

Good advice, except that’s not a long term storage. Bit corruption is a thing.

I honestly think that LLM will result in no progress made ever in computer science.
Most past inventions and improvements were made because of necessity of how sucky computers are and how unpleasant it is to work with them (we call it “abstraction layers”). And it was mostly done on company’s dime.
Now company will prefer to produce slop because it will hope to automate slop production.

So you had nothing to say about whats wrong with planned urbanization, so you went again for a personal attack, and switching to something something about marxist or communism because… Well, honestly, I don’t know why nor do I care.
This is the only thing of value you wrote
Objectively, it was bad to build unhabitable skyskrapers.
Yes. Those few bad actors who build tofu buildings in Tukery, Greece, China, Myanmar, Bangkok, or USA (en.wikipedia.org/…/Hyatt_Regency_walkway_collapse….) or whatever are bad and did wrong. What’s your point?

Yeah, my server end with ml so I must be a tankie, makes sense.
It cannot be that I genuinely appreciate long term vision policies. I must be a tankie.
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 4 weeks ago:
I’m sorry, I’m a little bit lost. I do agree that investment in owning rentals should be forbidden (and if city needs rental units they should be owned by the city).
I do not agree that “ghost cities” were built for speculative purposes. Speculants were buying them like crazy, yes, but the actual need for housing in regions planned (expected?) to undergo urbanization is real and the buildings were fulfilling that purpose.
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 4 weeks ago:
There are always bad actors in the system (see: hedge funds). But bubble? It can be argued that Ordos (the ghost city) was build too early, but it’s filling in nicely. From 30k in 2009 to 2.000.000+ in 2020.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordos_City
On the other hand noone ever build a damn whole modern city before for the people, so I’m not surprised they jumped the gun.

And the main AI companies have actual products that make money for them rolled out already. So it is not like the dot com bubble

I wouldn’t really know, I live in Poland and whenever I go West I’m surprised how backward technologically it is (France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland; only Portugal seems to be modern).
Maybe not backward but lacking internet-related improvements, like being able to take care of government thingies online (I think Denmark is the best in that regard), pay using your national pay processors, get cheap internet, update your opening hours online, not take a 4h break midday… you know, common convenances.

Islam and Middle Eastern religions have been around FAR longer than any country in the west has existed.
I want to say no, because there are sheds in Scotland (~100 BC) older than Islam (~600 AD), and 600 AD in Europe we had shitton of Kingdoms etc, but maybe I didn’t understand your point? Could you explain what did you mean?
- Comment on Steam is now blocking NSFW updates for published adult-only games, according to a raunchy RPG developer 1 month ago:
I wonder if you know that both Christianity and Islam are just splinter sects of Judaism? And if you’re against Judaism, or think it’s evil or smthing, you should consider being against its spin-offs.
- Comment on Steam is now blocking NSFW updates for published adult-only games, according to a raunchy RPG developer 1 month ago:
We dont; we need USA pay processors alternatives, and of those in EU we have plenty (but I don’t know your specific country, so maybe not in your country).
- Comment on Steam is now blocking NSFW updates for published adult-only games, according to a raunchy RPG developer 1 month ago:
The Middle East was one of the most progressive places in the world. Islam is still the most tolerant religion
Either you’re trolling, or have never studied history of Islam, it’s birth and spread. Or were taught those by your local priest.

Are you making a point that slaves in USA are treated better than slaves in Saudi Arabia?

800.000 legal slaves in the USA make more than $11 000 000 000 (11 billion) of goods and services annually.

Wonderlands
Interesting. To me that game was just the worst:
Unskippable, long, very very very long, boring dialogues.
Shitty weapons, but fantasy. E.g. no oomph feeling when you hit the enemy with a large ice explosions. It just scraps a little of their health.
Boring, unchallenging fights.

I just hope for better quests in LNF. The ones in NMS are just… Boring.
Maybe it’s because they are procedurally generated from like a template of 10.
