The Ubisoft trading community are coping to justify holding on to their tanking investments. It’s a gambler doubling down on losing.

Christ, how the mighty Ubisoft has fallen. They will go the way of EA and become a spyware company for the decadent Arab royals. I’m just crying that Ubisoft made some of my favourite games growing up and look what they have done to my boy-- a rotting zombie 🥲

Serious question, why are those who hit a bully get punished instead? No wonder there is rise of authoritarianism because the bully are practically worshipped and given a pass. Bullying is embedded in the culture.

It’s a catch 22 for Putin. If he quits the war now, he will face domestic coup because it showed how weak he is. If he continues the war longer, it will jeopardise the entire future of the Russian country even further.

They are undoing New Deal. It’s all part of the plan.

I, too, am tired of these “any minute now” nonsense about Russia’s potential fall. The problem with people is the craving for instant gratification and results. We’re so pathetic in that regard.

People with longer optics will say that Putinist Russia will fall, but it will be at any time in the coming years. It’s always a slow burn just like US decline since Iraq and Afgan war. Imperialist escapades will always have negative consequences to the imperialist state which reverberate across time. The only winner coming out of both US and Russian declines is China. Maybe India and Brazil will benefit from this as well. Perhaps Europe as well if Europe could decouple from the US in due time.

Anything but socialised housing!

This is feudalism in another name. This is precisely techno-feudalism to give it a more updated term.

And being fed by humans is amazing.

We laugh at this, but the older generations still remember when the mortgage interest was this high. I don’t know where you guys are from, but there is an old news reel from the 1970s here in Ireland when young families at the time complained of “high” house prices of up to 72,000 pounds, with mortgage interest of 14%. The folks on social media had their jaws dropped on learning of how high the interest rate was, but how cheap the overall property value was back then. Now how much are those said houses at the moment? They are now worth between €690,000 to €1.5 million. High valuation but the interest rate is down in proportion. In any case, only few could afford to buy houses these days due to inflation and wages haven’t kept up with it.

WHAT’S IN THE AIR FRYER?!

Someone probably tried to teach him how rare earths are important to manufacture electronics like he is five years old. And like a five year old he is, he of course didn’t understand.

Companies go along where the social pendulum swings. Only few companies genuinely care of social progress.

Apparently Chuck Schumer already knew those 8 Dems will cross the aisle.

I would probably just consider an old mate a Facebook friend now, not a personal friend anymore, because keeps posting far right stuff online even though he is a brown immigrant. And at the very least, I hope he isn’t a pedophile.

Reactance is weird. When I was in school my parents telling me to study actually puts me off from studying. But now I am a working adult, I had to let being bossed around by peers from another team that I support so that I don’t get into trouble. Good thing I got a promotion so I don’t have to deal with them eejits.

I really have no sympathy for people who get screwed over again and again by the same person and don’t seem to understand why.

It’s called coping. They can’t admit to themselves that they’ve been wrong.

Don’t ask whether it’s distraction from Epstein list, ask whether everything bad is distraction from climate change and wealth inequality.

That, and pizza, when I was growing up in my home country, is kind of seen as a luxury thing. We only eat pizza on special occasions. Now as a grown up, I can afford to be obsessed with pizza.

It’s not even AI that’s the problem wrt to making humanoid robots, it’s the lack of dexterity of automatons to do even the most basic tasks that most human can do. Even if AI improves, robots that can move like humans is still the hurdle.

Oh my god! Affordable food and housing!

The FBI only put a bulletin warning that masked individuals might be pretending to be government agents, just now? After nine months of terrorism? How is this not seen as authoritarian move? This is like with any full blown authoritarian states where the dear leader says something vague tantamount to directing a purge. And when enough people were purged, the dear leader would then say that his goons had gone too far from his original intent and order them to stop. This is not the first time America did something similar; the red scare and the McCarthy’s communist witch hunts went on long enough to tarnish people’s reputation, before Harry Truman made a speech calling out what is happening as unfair to people whose reputations were ruined. The powers-that-be know what the heck their doing and the last minute “call to sanity” is to white wash their deliberate intentions.
