Plenty of people hunt for food. Lead ammo should be avoided though.

It reminds me of the documentary Hypernormalisation, well worth a watch if you haven’t seen it.
“The word hypernormalisation was coined by Alexei Yurchak, a professor of anthropology who was born in Leningrad and later went to teach at the University of California, Berkeley. He introduced the word in his book Everything Was Forever, Until It Was No More: The Last Soviet Generation (2006), which describes paradoxes of Soviet life during the 1970s and 1980s. He says everyone in the Soviet Union knew the system was failing, but no one could imagine any alternative to the status quo, and politicians and citizens alike were resigned to maintaining the pretense of a functioning society. Over time, the mass delusion became a self-fulfilling prophecy, with everyone accepting it as the new norm rather than pretend, an effect Yurchak termed hypernormalisation”

Putting that nasty concoction aside, here’s how you cook rice properly.
Put a cup of rice in a small saucepan, wash it until the water is clear. Add enough water so it comes up to the top of your thumbnail, about 3/4" above the level of the rice.
Put it on high heat and leave it until it starts to bubble like crazy. Remove from heat, put the lid on the pan and leave it for 15 minutes.
Save leftover rice in the fridge for the best fried rice the next day.

Step 1: Start with lots of money

Maybe build something useful that solves a real problem?
That’s the problem. For now at least, we’re at the end of “new tech make line go up”. Crypto wasn’t it, neither were NTFs, LLMs are no different. All the low hanging fruit was picked a while back so they’re stuck trying to make us believe that there’s a Next Big Thing just around the corner when, at best, there’s some fairly niche and difficult to monetize tech requiring vast resources to work.

The C suite and management of these companies want two things - for the stock to go as high as possible, and for them to be able to sell at the top and leave a bunch of bag holders wondering what the fuck just happened.

it is not enshittified … call it anti-consumer
Same difference?
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 1 month ago:
Too expensive, too enshittified for me to consider. All they had to do was not fuck this up and they would’ve had a guaranteed sale but I don’t ever see myself spending a cent on Nintendo ever again.

- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 1 month ago:
Hmm, the only barrier to upgrading was that the i5 processor wasn’t supported, no complaints about TPM/motherboard compatibility and a fresh install worked fine on the exact same hardware. Oh well, it’s done anyway.

I just went for a new installation. Why would that work? Just curious.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 1 month ago:
Thank you for this. I already did a fresh install but it’s interesting that your link is to the Surface subreddit just to rub some more salt in the wound. The processor is officially supported for upgrades only if it’s in Microsoft’s hardware. I hate them so much.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 1 month ago:
I detest this company for many reasons, it’s like they go out of their way to make dealing with them as painful as possible.
Here’s just one example I discovered today. I have a Windows 10 VM I needed to upgrade to 11 but the “PC Health Check” app says no, the i5 processor isn’t supported.
I can, however, create a new VM and install 11 on the exact same hardware, so that’s what I did, along with a whole bunch of extra work to get the new VM set up the same as the old Windows 10 VM was.
Why? Because fuck you, that’s why.
Assholes.

That’s it. Hardly comparable with someone having to wait for the price of RAM to come down is it?
