I like science, politics and music.
I would feel mostly meh about reggaeton if it wasn’t the one and only thing everyone ever hears in a 300km radius of where I live. It’s frankly sad that Latin America, having so much creativity and diversity in culture, ended up with such talentless noise as the absolutely dominant genre.
It’s literally inescapable and an entire generation already only listens to reggaeton. It’s lazy and unpleasant, combined with a completely commercial mindset.
I just don’t understand why Biden hasn’t stopped the transfer of military equipment. Everyone, even the coldest psychopath, has a cost-benefit analysis to guide their decisions. I can’t see any political, geopolitical or whatever benefit the USA may be getting from this. There must be something else going on that is not public.
Yes, I watched the extended versions many times.
Why not go full data nihilist and say that every file is just a natural number expressed in binary.
I feel like it’s mostly shitposting but soon enough there will be a more formal competition. Possibly with a standardized VM and local package cache.
WTF. Is the abstract concept of “competition” more important than weaning out of fossil fuels in order to keep Earth habitable for humans?
I find this mindset doubly crazy because the USA grants a ton of subsidies to oil companies.
China’s government is horrible for a myriad reasons but this instance of concern trolling is just blatant pro-oil and pro-capital propaganda. The USA is antagonizing China for the wrong reasons and from the outside, their alleged motivations look stupid and petty.
It’s immensely disheartening to see the supposed “leader of the free world” acting in such a dumb way in the face of an impending catastrophe.
The point is that the footage we see is part of the in-universe propaganda, so we have no reason to assume it’s true.
Once again proving that even fictional propaganda is highly effective.
Yeah, I feel like oop reached the wrong conclusion after this. Apple treats its consumers as if they were mindless children and they (for some reason) love it. Just look at the whole “green texts” issue, for example.
Some manufacturers found a smart workaround but the apple brainrot is stronger, I guess.
This article https://nautil.us/chaos-makes-the-multiverse-unnecessary-236664/ made me very uncomfortable back when it was published. It takes what you say to the philosophical limit.
Germany didn’t disconnect the genocide battery, they just changed the polarity.
My experience is that just seeding what you like indefinitely is not useful. You have to be proactive and find popular torrents to seed and accrue any meaningful upload amount.
The tracker I use has a bonus point system to encourage all seeders even of unpopular releases but it’s slow.
I found that the perfect solution for my use case (music) ended up being Soulseek. I don’t have much money for seedboxes or buying extra storage so I feel like I’m priced out of private trackers.
What about quaternions and octonions and …
I think the main pro of this system would be that it requires no trust. The immutability would be actually a con for privacy: if you’re burned or doxxed later, there would be hard evidence of your identity in the blockchain.
Besides, solar photocells have a limited lifetime. Recycling them is possible but expensive so people just make new ones instead. Kind of like plastics if you think about it.
Profoundly internalized hierarchy all over this thread.
What? 7 million people died from COVID-19. How many more would it have been without all the safety measures?
My opinion is that what matters is how much money each part of the network receives.
For example, instances tend to be transparent about their funding. And we can see that some of them are just months away of being out of cash. Meanwhile, we see people subscribing(!) to a very expensive app that charges $20 to remove ads (and tracking and data collecting) otherwise.
I think is okay to keep people aware of these things. Getting defensive about it is just a waste of energy. For both sides.
Look, if people come to you in good faith to learn and you reply like this, how are you expecting to organize and positively influence people around you? Are you gonna build socialist utopia alone?
The idea is to build stuff together right? If you’re antagonizing everyone, how do you expect to achieve that?
I think that’s part of the game, it trains you by making sure you can clear the first levels even if your items are bad or you had bad RNG.
After a while I was able to consistently clear the entire first floor with just my starting revolver (Huntress). Maybe with the Marine it will be easier.
That being said, it can take a long time for this so if you don’t play very often it is definitely frustrating.
