Its so smart it gets something else to do all the work for it.
- Comment on Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone Can’t Let Go Of Stardew Valley 5 months ago:
Some people can do two things.
- Comment on Elon Musk laid off the Tesla Supercharger team; now he’s rehiring them 6 months ago:
A company is more than its most visible members. There were likely plenty of competent people in the hierarchy that were there before Musk and were able to continue that trend of competency until Musk decided he needed to control more and more of the intricacies of the company.
The difference isnt what he was doing before to make things run smoothly so much as what he wasn't... that being getting in the way. He was a glorified PR guy. Which he was great at. Running a tech and manufacturing company? Not so much.
- Comment on Fallout inspired RPG game in EXCEL 6 months ago:
Maybe they have one of the shitty adblockers for some reason.
- Comment on Man gets boat painted on fence meant to hide boat. 6 months ago:
I mean, if you can afford a boat you can also probably afford a lot of other nice things.
Unless you spent all your money on the boat, and thus can't afford things like storage for said boat...
- Comment on Elon Musk laid off the Tesla Supercharger team; now he’s rehiring them 6 months ago:
He didn't, he bought in to a company that was already set on doing it.
- Comment on The Price is Right television show is a low-key way to normalize inflation. 6 months ago:
Inflation is great to keep the stock market afloat. That's about its only redeeming quality. The reason that most economists like inflation is the false premise that people will stop spending money if money starts increasing in value... but the vast majority of people are going to spend their money one way or another, cause they can't just stop buying food or paying for rent... and they're not going to skip out on what little fun they can have because it might be a little cheaper later.
Deflation is bad for the rich. Because it means their non-monetary assets are suddenly worth less.
- Comment on Helium-3: Mining the fuel of the future on the Moon 6 months ago:
They literally made an either or declaration of their own...
- Comment on Helium-3: Mining the fuel of the future on the Moon 6 months ago:
That obviously being the only other choice, of course.
- Comment on Helium-3: Mining the fuel of the future on the Moon 6 months ago:
Imagine thinking there's only one solution.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam 6 months ago:
It is like No Man's Sky in that most people who weren't fanatical about saying it had a huge turn around stopped caring about it after a year or so.
- Comment on Biden really, really doesn’t want China to flood the US with cheap EVs 6 months ago:
The free market is propaganda to trick people into thinking capitalism is somehow ethically solvent.
- Comment on Cyberattack forces major US health care network to divert ambulances from hospitals 6 months ago:
Fixing the issue doesn't line the pockets of investors. People aren't going to stop going to the hospital, so why fix it?
- Comment on Mean world syndrome has reacted a fever pitch. 6 months ago:
It's not the women who are spreading the "man bad, amirite?" part. It was originally just meant to provoke thought, and the person who wrote the article wasn't actually intending on spending time in the woods with a bear any time soon.
It's always interesting how people take trying to provoke thought as "stir shit" thought. Really shows how desperate people are to get any kind of intelligent thought from people on the internet.
- Comment on Mean world syndrome has reacted a fever pitch. 6 months ago:
So which made up women have you been talking with? "These women" or your wife?
- Comment on Mean world syndrome has reacted a fever pitch. 6 months ago:
You're conflating what you think argument is with what the article was actually about.
- Comment on Mean world syndrome has reacted a fever pitch. 6 months ago:
Almost like that was part of the original article.
- Comment on Mean world syndrome has reacted a fever pitch. 6 months ago:
It didn't start with trolling, it started with an article trying to get people to think for once instead of just react.
It's just people are dumb, so they thought it was trolling.
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 6 months ago:
Because corporations make things based on the demand of those individual people. They don't exist in a vacuum. And they're not going to change because someone on the internet rants about them. Their only incentive is profit
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 6 months ago:
And of course the land couldn't be used for anything else... like natural ecosystems.
Just because land exists doesn't mean it needs to be pillaged to feed our desires.
- Comment on we love those power laws 6 months ago:
... and steel was brought up.
- Comment on we love those power laws 6 months ago:
Steel, I believe, needs much higher temperatures and purified inputs.
- Comment on Apple iPhone sales decline 10% in first three months of 2024 6 months ago:
Haven't iPhones had service lives far past most other phones? The used market for iPhones is huge compared to Android.
- Comment on If presidential immunity is absolute.. 6 months ago:
Is impeachment the only thing the House can do? They can't enact any other kinds of legislation? Current legislative efforts not-withstanding.
- Comment on If presidential immunity is absolute.. 6 months ago:
Aren't most of the claims of immunity because congress is supposed to be the one that holds the president accountable? So as long as the House doesn't hold the president to account, they can do anything... but clearly Democrats are more willing to prosecute those in their own party than Republicans... so it's far more likely that Biden would face consequences for his actions than Trump did.
- Comment on Net neutrality is back as FCC votes to regulate internet providers 6 months ago:
One might say, if they were a discerning individual, that that would be a disqualifying quality in a candidate.
- Comment on Independent auditors confirm top VPN doesn't log your data 6 months ago:
A literal onion.
- Comment on Why are SMS messages so expensive? 6 months ago:
They were called pagers back then.
- Comment on Net neutrality is back as FCC votes to regulate internet providers 6 months ago:
Last I checked he was still in charge of it. The people Biden selected for the board of governors apparently decided he was an ok guy.
- Comment on Spurred by Teen Girls, States Move to Ban Deepfake Nudes 6 months ago:
Which is more of a "zero-tolerance" policy, like unto giving the same punishment to a student defending themselves as the one given to the person who initiated the attack.
