  That’s the spirit! Shortlived as it may be

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨9 months after its 1.0 launch flopped, an indie dev just learned that Steam never emailed the 130,000 people who wishlisted its game⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Which would mean they missed out on 12400 sales. Not negligible for a game that sold 100k total.

  Any SAM will find her as soon as she needs to go to the toilet though.

  Windows vista. Shudders

  Oh, the market can stay irrational far longer than you can stay solvent. You are way better off betting on companies you believe have a bright future ahead.

  That being said, it still wreaks of “CEO Speak.”

  I think you mean reeks, which means to stink, having a foul odor.

  How else would the glockenspiel ever be invented though? It was a necessary development for science music

  My money would be on BMW

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be honest. You were also fooled by what you thought that you saw⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This reminds me of that one time I went with a friend to a large forest. We had taken a 2 hour train trip to get there and then walked through the forest until we found a good spot halfway up a hill overlooking a river through the trees. We got super high and chilled there for a couple of hours. When we got up, a car drove over the river and we were super confused. Turns out it was a road all along but there was hardly any traffic, so we didn’t realize earlier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If digital payments are becoming a service problem, Steam might develop their own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Byeeeeeee⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but those also went extinct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hasn’t that been in development hell for almost a decade by now? I check up on it maybe once a year or so and there never is any progress. Last I remember the script writer basically said the source material is too diverse and expansive to create a coherent script that translates well to tv and still gives you a proper sense of the scope.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US F-16s lose out as Thai air force seals US$600 million deal for Swedish Gripen jets⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  From what I remember reading some months back, the new gripen is a fantastic plane that gets you the most bang for your buck, so I’m not surprised.

  I’m kind of with your family on this one, but if you are going through with it I would just verify with the doctor performing the procedure whether it can be reversed in case you change your mind later on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure most of the top posts in AITA are AI generated. They all have a similar pattern, are lengthy and always have a similar pity angle.

  I sometimes read them to see if the pattern has changed, but not last time I checked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, sure. I do want to point out that I simply answered the question. I don’t deny my state of luxury yet also don’t feel that this bout of whataboutism is entirely warranted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  By looking at it from a larger perspective. You can always get worked up about things but if you zoom out, you see that most of it is just a temporary trend. Some things trend well, some trend poorly, but these tend to be blips in the span of a lifetime.

  Especially when comparing with the past you will see that things really aren’t all that bad in general.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When the government forces you to act like a clown for no apparent reason⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In Düsseldorf, after the full body scan and scan of my bags, I still had to take of my shoes, put them in a box, they scanned said box with shoes and after as I was putting on my shoes, using the metal seat to lift my feet, they complained about that because people sit there. Which is a fair point, but holy shit was I pissed off at the time. I hate that airport.

  They can call it New Flevoland

  That’s why I use mail relays.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everything is a problem⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I want everything as dumb as possible. I will register whatever I buy with the manufacturer for warranty purposes, but other than that: dumb toaster, dumb fridge, dumb washing machine, dumb robot vacuum cleaner, dumb doorbell, dumb locks, etc…

  If it doesn’t need internet to function, it’s not getting any.

  A friend of mine is a professor in anthropology and he told me that he stayed in academia because he was afraid of change and academia was something he knew well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My world is so much better because of immigrants⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the insight, grok

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My world is so much better because of immigrants⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pay and conditions were not destroyed because of immigrants, but are a side effect of globalization. Production facilities were offshored, leading to a collapse of local manufacturing and low skill jobs (where no prior education is required, low skill jobs can and sometimes do require a lot of skill). Reshoring those jobs is incredibly difficult because it also means reconfiguring the supply lines. For urban areas this is not a huge issue, as those can switch to a service based economy, but for small towns this often meant that the main economic driver of the town left and people lost jobs.

  Anyway, not caused by immigration. As a matter of fact, immigrants are a significant driver of economic activity and partly offset that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US debt is now $37trn – should we be worried?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Japan is actually the largest US debt holder with over 1.2T. China is 4th iirc with around 750B.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Corporations are saving the planet!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s an EU regulation, not a corporate measure. And it has drastically decreased the amount of littered bottle caps, so a good thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that 158 families made up 50% of all US Presidential Campaign Spending⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you have lost all sense of how much a billion is from it being thrown around so much. 5.5 billion is an enormous sum of money. Think of how much 1 million is, then imagine spending that 5500 times. It’s an obscene amount. Sure, some people have more wealth than that, but it’s still an absurdly large amount.
