Idk if you’ve been in modern apartment buildings but they can be labyrinthian. I don’t let delivery people in, not because I don’t trust them, but because I’ve had to help multiple figure out where to go. These buildings are just cramming as many units in as possible and if leads to weird layouts

Magic: the Gathering

It’s a sport if it was on ESPN!

I’d like to share your optimism but I think we’re going to be hearing about him for the rest of our lives. Reagan has been cold in the ground for 2 decades and I still hear about his bitch ass all the time

Paprika. The grocery store stuff may as well be red glitter for all its flavor. I go to specialty spice stores to buy a premium paprika so it actually has taste

Agreed, the fediverse is small enough now that living aggregate communities are preferable to dead specific ones. Especially because everyone hates posting something, getting their post removed and being told to go post in another very similar community they didn’t know existed. As you said, if it becomes a problem you can just spin off

Neoliberals are like libertarians. They’re right wing in every way except they’re cool with gay people where libertarians like weed

Didn’t they already trim down ARR? I thought that was during Endwalker or Dawntrail

But yeah, very few video games have made me cry and Endwalker was one of them

Sure but there’s often not too much harm in letting the player choose and if they get too obnoxious with it make the spell fail every now and then

I appreciate trying to save resources here, but Americans are way too fucking stupid for that to work, amid a myriad of other issues I see with this

How long it lasts as a usable token of trade

So it’s still worthless. Genuinely, what can a penny purchase? A nickel? A dime? None of these coins can buy something individually, and a large chunk of the population doesn’t carry them because the utility they gain for having exact change is less than the coins are worth

To be clear, I understand the coins vs. bills argument, but I’m personally in favor of cutting all coins up to the quarter. Or cutting all coins except dimes and half dollars, but dimes are annoying coins

I think you’re just beginning to identify what The Hero’s Journey is

Well you see one device is made by Microsoft which has been the defacto way to watch videos for a large chunk of its lifespan and the other gave us UMDs and camcorders with cables that could only connect to Vaio laptops, which were the only devices that supported writing to mini-disc

I would not recommend PS5+Plex. I went through the whole set-up and the PS5 couldn’t encode over half my videos. When playback did work it was often choppy. I dislike that it has ads all over the place but the ONN Streaming Pro does a way better job as Plex streaming device at $45 than my PS5. Plus the controller will be much easier for simple tech users, you can rebind one of the buttons to go directly to Plex

Arguably this is already happening. AIs are trained mostly by web scraping and specifically scraping Reddit which has a known astroturfing problem. So it’s already being fed non-genuine inputs and isn’t likely isn’t being used with tools to flag reviews as fake

People always remark how /r/relationshipadvice tells everyone to break up without considering 2 self selection biases:

1. People in happy healthy relationships don’t ask for a lot of advice. “I love my wife, we go on weekly dates, have couples therapy, are helping each other in our careers and our sex has never been better. Wat do?” is not something people will post
2. If you go to a drama discussion, shockingly, more dramatic content gets more attention. More drama in relationships almost always leads to" just stop dealing with it and break up" as advice

2nd pro tip:

If you’ve never attempted this before, when someone is pointing a gun at you is probably the incorrect time to try it out

A connection to young people

You’re correct on fundamentals and technicals, it’s been a while since I took a Financial Mathematics class and I don’t remember doing very well in it regardless

I’m sure there’s multiple versions, that’d be good too. It’s mostly just getting people to talk about things they like in their life
