• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does Coke Zero taste different in the UK vs. the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If I remember correctly, sodas tend to be made sweeter in the US because Americans usually drink them super cold, which makes taste buds less sensitive, while elsewhere drinking more room temperature soda is more common.

  No. They won’t. People flee more speculative assets towards more stable ones during crashes. Not the other way around.

  Nothing about crypto has become less speculative in recent years. And people aren’t going to increasingly pile into crypto after it plummets 90% when the stock market crashes. That goes against all human nature

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump team says it won't cave if stocks tank in U.S.-China trade war⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Crypto is correlated to the stock market. When it crashes, crypto crashes even more. The only reason it spiked when the shut down started is people thought the US was going to devalue it’s currency to pay for shit (which has been happening anyway since he took office)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old??⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re being purposely obtuse now.

  There’s no other documents even alluding to the man’s existence besides the book of completely unbelievable bullshit fairy tales.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old??⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A story claiming to be true does not make it more true than one that doesn’t make that claim.

  But if that’s your sticking point, Lord of the Rings. It claims to be a translation of a true story. Was Frodo real?

  A story claiming to have eye witnesses to events doesn’t mean there were any, the author can say anything that makes their work sound more believable, and given that there were no other documents making those completely unbelievable claims, they remain unbelievable fictions.

  It kind of sound like you are unaware of the council of nicaea…where they decided to make Jesus a divine figure, and not just a prophet, among other stories they twisted and chose to suit their needs. We may not know their exact names, but we know the group and the months they met to write this book.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old??⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That guy is a character in a book that wasn’t written until decades after his supposed death. And those stories that made it into the book were knowingly cherry picked and modified to fit a narrative that the Romans wanted to push at the time.

  The only “evidence” he rose from the dead was that someone wrote down that someone told someone else that they knew of a few people that saw an empty cave a few days after they had stuffed a corpse in it. And said book also contains a contradicting story about the same event.

  So not exactly screaming reliable primary source…

  There’s more evidence that Spider-Man exists/ed.

  Open an IRA (or your country’s equivalent), invest as much as you and still afford to live. A tiny little discomfort in the beginning isn’t the worst thing. That money will grow tax free for year until you retire. The more you get in early, the more compounding works in your favor.

  At least a little?

  According to this article they pull in 230 million a year. For a shitty forum that looks like it’s run on 1995 tech

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A player before me destroyed a bridge in [the Tides of Tomorrow] demo, so I had to build it again in this narrative adventure where your choices have consequences for others⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Have these devs never played an online game before? Have they not interacted with players, ever? It will be a race to see which asshole can ruin the game for the most the fastest

  Yes. That’s Tesla’s entire design philosophy: the industry standard is holding this piece on with 5 bolts? Do it with 3. Cut every corner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s time for game developers to bring back the cheat code⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well we are post Internet now, so discovering things and sharing them has flown out the window.

  I’m not seeing a difference between chest emulators and being able to mod the game

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft reportedly estimated that Game Pass led to $300 million in lost sales of Black Ops 6, with 82% of copies sold being on the Game Pass-less PlayStation 5⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the same math they’ve been using to claim massive losses from piracy, for decades

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s time for game developers to bring back the cheat code⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Original chest codes were used for testing the game. Now they have a dev console - which in many games can be used to cheat. I don’t get this nostalgia for cheat codes, you can just mod most games now to do whatever you want.

  Accessibility settings don’t need to be hidden. That defeats the purpose of them.

  Not having a tagline doesn’t make their support less official. Why aren’t you grasping this simple concept?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework supporting far-right racists?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Giving someone equipment that is worth money is the same as giving them money to buy equipment…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework supporting far-right racists?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We have the current president because most Americans did not pick a side, and our garbage electoral system allows a plurality to win

  Because if you can make the currency you pay back the loan with worth less than what you borrowed, you gain. That’s why they want some inflation.

  Problems happen when you keep borrowing more and more each year, and also do stupid shit that shakes the faith of those lending you money in your ability to pay it back
