Even if you completely disagree with his position (which I don’t), you should actually want politicians like him. He’s the only politician who actually and consistently really explains himself. He clearly gives you arguments pro and con, states his assumptions and conclusions. That’s exactly how a leader should behave. Yet, he’s getting ridiculed for exactly that.
… Because of the same guy.
He’s actively sabotaging his own government and I don’t even understand why. He’s not gaining anything. It’s not even corruption, he pissed off even the industry.
… And it’s completely unnecessary.
Just because a single delusional libertarian can’t get his ego in check the entire country has to suffer.
Imagine not even being capable of thinking other people might think differently than yourself.
Imagine taking a statement that doesn’t contain any value judgement about the writer and misinterpreting it for bragging.
Imagine being so self absorbed, that you don’t only misinterpret intention so drastically, but doing that with the intent of defending literature interpretation.
See, that’s what I meant by circle jerk. You simply can’t accept that other people don’t care about your hobby.
Instead you insult them, proving that you in fact are the low of the human experience you’re talking about.
I can honestly say that not a single book or story I read in so left me with any impression whatsoever. I just learned that literature teachers of all languages are waaay too absorbed in their own circle jerks.
No, there are not enough people. You can’t find enough people to stock shelves, that is an extremely unqualified job, it takes about 15min of training to do it.
The quality already drops, because you can’t find people to do stuff.
You literally can’t get someone to replace your furnace/heatpump within the next month. There are not enough people to care for seniors, not enough people to stock shelves. Doesn’t sound super nice.
Covid hit just around the time where people around me (and myself, obviously) hit 30, got kids and settled down.
That means, covid turned into a “getting old” speed run for me. Before covid, there was something going on each weekend, a party here, a gathering of friends there, it was almost always at least something going on. When the lock down was unlocked up for real in 2022, most people had partners, didn’t want to go out anymore or do anything at all, some kids were on their way or just arrived.
It felt like a development of 5-10 years was compressed into one or two years.
But honestly, it’s a pretty badass death compared to “died of cancer at 64”.
Both have potential revenue streams used to justify the cost.
You sure about that? AI in any semi-professional environment uses proper AI accelerators with loads of ram and not overpriced consumer cards. And that ignores the fact that AI never produced any relevant revenue stream.
Miners, do they even exist anymore? Bitcoin is ASIC land and ethereum switched to proof of stake?
What is competitive about textures? Is eSports an arts contest now? You can’t seriously suggest that having better textures makes a gamer better at playing counter strike.
4K high FPS is exactly the kind of useless numbers game I’m talking about. There’s a point at which humans don’t see differences anyway. Especially in those super high competitive games you also have pretty fast paced movements, you can’t see texture quality.
Yes, if compared in a lab environment the newer card will probably create a better image, but we’re pretty close to “virgin blood infused speaker wires for audiophiles” territory.
I honestly don’t understand why people keep buying these. It’s not like games look that much better compared to cheaper models.
And what’s really surprising to me: who exactly pays those scalper prices? Who can justify shelling out 1-2000 currency units for a (part of a) toy?
The entire industry lost its direction. It’s only about some artificial numbers go up and no one even tries to come up with a reason for those numbers.
Take “The <noun> has a yellow <noun>”. Which gender do these nouns have? In German, I could tell you. Both articles and the adjective have a gender.
Of course, you can use gendered nouns, but only a very small minority of nouns actually have female forms.
In many aspects English doesn’t distinguish between genders at all.
I chose the words above specifically because they are gendered. I’m not a native speaker, but as far as I know, teacher, butcher, officer, warrior, president, welder, etc. can each mean male or female. There’s maybe a connotation, but the words are not gendered. English also has no concept of a grammatical gender. Articles, adjectives, etc. are gendered in most European languages.
As I recently saw in a video about bible translations: Greek used (uses?) generic masculine forms for plurals. So a mixed group of stewarts and stewardesses would be called “these stewarts”. If there’s no context added, it’s impossible to tell whether the group was actually all male or not.
I blame the Jedi council!
Serbians are from serbia, not Siberia.
That doesn’t change anything, tbh.
Apparently these people are at least complacent enough to let Trump become president. And that is horrifying.
