Yawn been there, done that. Let’s set our sights to the future of America, not on assimilating the losers.

Got it. Understood. Any and all Amazon representatives will continue to function after being shot.
- Comment on Rise in talk about killing in films raises health concerns, researchers say 3 weeks ago:
It’s not movies. It’s not video games. It’s clearly what it’s always been: rock and roll music.

- Comment on Player two has entered the lobby 4 weeks ago:
It has literally been taught in schools for decades, what did people expect?
- Comment on Hideo Kojima seems to be testing Death Stranding 2, but it's not going well: "I fell asleep twice while on a delivery and ran the vehicle into a cliff" 1 month ago:
And these people demand that we take their job seriously while at the same time writing what is essentially just bad fanfiction about popular game developers/studios.
- Comment on Gnorts 1 month ago:
Idk how but you clearly doctored the results. The output has more energy in the form of extra punctuation than the input does. Something else was done other than a simple reflection. Please provide precise method of backwarding used.
- Comment on How to get back into academia for a masters degree after being out for 20+ years? 1 month ago:
Call a school and ask them. They will have better information on this than a bunch of internet randos.
- Comment on When people say the AI bubble will burst, what exactly does that mean? 2 months ago:
Investors have invested lots of money into these companies. This means in some form or another these companies have agreed to pay back these investors in some way. You can answer this by quite literally thinking of money like a river, and the motion of that river is what gives energy to businesses so they can do their things.
In a normal not-bubble market, there is a flow of cash that goes from investors, into the company, and then back out to investors so they can do other things with it.
In a bubble market a lot of cash is flowing into the company, but little or no cash is flowing out back to investors. There are two possible things that happen here, either the cash eventually starts flowing again and we’re all good back to normal after some stabilization period, or people stop pumping cash into the business and the dam breaks. All that money is lost, or all that potential business energy is lost, or some combination of the two no matter how you slice it it’s wasted effort.
To keep with the water metaphor the AI market is like a hose that’s wound up in a box we can’t see into. We’ve pumped a ton of water into this hose and haven’t seen anything come out the other end. There could be a leak somewhere, or maybe we don’t have enough water to even get through the hose and people will want to use their water for other things instead. One thing we do know is that we’ve devoted so much water to this operation that if something does go wrong it has to go wrong spectacularly.

Left is more natural. Evolution wouldn’t waste time lifting that much mass making the creature top heavy unless it had an absurdly good reason to.
- Comment on Freelance Video Game Journalists Are Propping Up The Industry, And Many Are Being Paid Dogshit In Return 2 months ago:
These parasites man lmfao unreal. Propping up what industry exactly, their own subgenre of niche writing? Pretty sure the game developers, tech companies, and hardware manufacturers are the ones by far and large carrying the actual gaming economy.
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 2 months ago:
Win back? This country was bought and paid for long before any of us were alive. We keep fighting against the oligarhy for liberty and freedom like we’ve always done.
- Comment on A Video Game Flopped Harder Than Anything At The Box Office This Year, And The Mainstream Press Barely Noticed 2 months ago:
WWIII: Special Military Operation still going on. WWIII: Religious Extremism expansion pack just dropped. COVID: 2: Electric Boogaloo in some areas. Election year in like 4+ major countries. Multiple major entertainment failures across the board in multiple entertainment sectors. And major scandals to boot, most notably a massive media icon’s fall from grace via nice and friendly things like coercion, conspiracy to murder, human trafficking, etc.
Gee Kotaku idk. You would think a Japanese corporation’s failure and loss of revenue would be more important to American media outlets during an election year. Crazy how that managed to slip through the cracks.
- Comment on Bank of America will (stop|continue to) Accept $1 bills 2 months ago:
Add a new currency called the buck which represents 1000 dollars. Over the next~200 years of inflation abolish the cent as a fraction of a dollar. When you reach a breaking point again, reintroduce a cent as a bill that represents 1000 bucks. Rinse and repeat every new inflationary super cycle.

Oh boy! I’m so excited to wait months for an update to a buggy mess for the update to simply adds a new texture for cans of beans and a new style of jeans.
- Comment on This feels wrong. I love it. 2 months ago:
Circles are good at math, but what to do if you not have circle shape? Easy, redefine problem until you have numbers that look like the numbers the circle shape uses. Now we can use circle math on and solve problems about non-circles!

They’re finally ending the official servers, releasing the source code, and allowing private servers?
- Comment on Why is voting before the deadline in US elections referred to as 'early voting'? 2 months ago:
Both answers are correct. 20 years divides into 5 sets of 4, but that’ would only be 5 elections if you started counting on an election year.
- Comment on Why is voting before the deadline in US elections referred to as 'early voting'? 2 months ago:
That’s less than 10% of the country’s life. Just because you didn’t exist before you were born does not mean that others did not.
- Comment on Economists be like 3 months ago:
Economics is essentially string theory
Jesus tap-dancing christ dude, what did physicists do to you that cause you to hate them so much that you berate them down to a mere economist’s level?
- Comment on If Republicans have Project 2025. Why don't Democrats have their own guide book? 3 months ago:
They do, it just uses the generic name “platform” to refer to their political strategy instead of naming it something ominous.
- Comment on Please stop 3 months ago:
Not necessarily, it could be a scripted cutscene to introduce the second act and give you time to swap disks.
- Comment on California’s new law forces digital stores to admit you’re just licensing content, not buying it 3 months ago:
You can’t just go out and buy a perpetual license for any random thing you purchase.
- Comment on Just tri to watch this.... 3 months ago:
Q1: Assume the blue wind is blowing at an average rate of 12m/s, at a heading of due South. An angel with a mass of 3000kg is heading towards Tokyo and has a heading of 14 degrees north of due West. It has a maximums thrust of 400kps and is 2 miles from the city. How long can Shinji reasonably avoid getting in the robot, keeping the door to his heart shut, if we are to assume the angel has an attack range of 100m? What about an attack range of 300m? Assume the angel can destroy 4% of Tokyo per minute of it’s attack. A city survival rate of 70% is required.
Q2: Assume Shinji is too much of a bitch to get in the robot. A backup pilot is available on hand, but has suffered severe injuries. She will operate with a combat effectivness of 40%. A second backup is available, but needs to be imported from Germany. Which pilot would you choose in place of Shinji for the best chance of victory and why?
- Comment on If Donald Trump was black, would he have made it this far in politics? 3 months ago:
Impossible to say. He certainly wouldn’t have been a real estate icon in the 80s and would probably not have been born a silver spoon trust fund baby.
- Comment on Boeing Union Wins 25% Raise in Tentative Contract, But Possible Strike Still Looms 4 months ago:
It only cost 10 years of constant crashes, hundreds of lives, and abandoning two people as sacrifices to the emptiness of space for Boeing to admit that maybe a small raise might maybe be something that maybe could potentially possibly help I dunno just some workers maybe a little extra compensation could maybe help with morale or something I guess.
