  I would say this statement is false but just because its not really a secret

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wowee!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You wouldn’t get this advanced technology

  Legit first time looking at the picture i thought this was a googly eye

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve to no longer offer physical gift cards due to scammers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Valve could also just stop allowing people to turn the gift card money back into real cash. It would be trivial to implement this with a bit of goodwill. But i get your point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve to no longer offer physical gift cards due to scammers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But there will always be some form of gift card. if not steam gift card people will buy apple or google play cards. Its a sad thing going of with the scamming but honestly a physical gift card still beats a print out of an email on a piece of paper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve to no longer offer physical gift cards due to scammers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No I think this is an awful move. Digital Gift Cards will still be available. And I think for gifting its actually really nice to still have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[serious]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, that is very reasonable and has been the standard in most developed nations for a while now outside the US. Although in the US it would quickly be decried as “communism” or whatever (ignoring the fact the US healthcare system is the most expensive in the world)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[serious]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wasn’t arguing against wealth distribution. Im just saying its crazy to believe if everyone were millionaire, everyone could afford what current millionaires can afford. I think the wealth assessment of few individuals is a systematic failure of capitalism. No individual can work enough that they should have a million times that of the average citizen. I think having certain variation in pay grade and wealth can be okay if it serves the best interest of the public and entices people to work hard. The economy would be driven by spending, yes but that spending would devalue money quickly. Also billionaires have most money in company shares, land etc, not liquid cash. Inheritance and wealth tax can do a decent amount to reduce inequality I believe. A good social safety net would also make the US a much better place for the average citizen.

  People are just misunderstanding my argument. Although I don’t think violent means like mentioned here are the way to go. But what am I even saying we are in a shitpost community after all.

  And knowing this makes me even more upset without anything to direct my anger at than myself

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey… rich people buy houses too! If they want the plot of land beneath it they just rip out and replace the house with something fancy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[serious]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Money would be devalued quite a bit, since production capacity doesnt randomly jump. If everyone is rich, no one is

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨poverty is a choice⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it? I dont think so actually

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If online services (such as Netflix) only ever raise their prices, does that mean they offer less and less value for money as time passes?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on inflation and if the service increases/decreases in value for the customer. This is really the personal and hard to measure part.

  You mean clementines?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Music just isn't good anymore⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn we humans are bad as shit as forming our subjective opinion that doesnt get extremely distorted by nostalgia

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Music just isn't good anymore⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just listen to a different radio or use a playlist instead or whatever

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Music just isn't good anymore⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if there is any noticeable difference between different generations to this graph. Like if there is a specific time-frame, that if we account for nostalgia and calculate out this bias/distribute different generations evenly performs higher than other time frames

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life Is Strange⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The game and story is incredibly unique. I definitely got emotional towards the end and still have Lift is Strange 2 on my “must play” list. Can definitely recommend it for people who enjoy story games and the choices within it that affect the outcome. The thing with rewinding time and such and the plot connection with the storm is also really well made. The choice towards the end was a though one to make at all though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crazy how it does that⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait i overread that thats absurf

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uh well actually-⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t worry, more often than not its the same even for people without it. Like how tf should i know if the edge of the bicycle wheel just being slightly over the corner should be considered part of the bycicle or not

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crazy how it does that⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Crazy how somebody is even mentioning the fact, that Russia can fit multiple times in itself, but only, and only if rotated correctly. I also love the sentence used to conclude by ChatGPT:

  Geographers still don’t fully understand why Japan matches Japan so closely.

  Any Geographers here to explain? But no seriously I know this is frequent but the way it speaks to make its statement seem believable by citing non-existent expert certainly is not one of the better sides of LLMs.

  You know, thats where a bunch of the natural language training for these models come from. (But sure Grok is probably even aimed at this type of speech

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Durian supremacy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends how weak the bond is. I think there are plenty of chemical mixes that wouldn’t even withstand a destructive condition for even a plank time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good for them. Equality⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How is it intolerant to say that wearing a skirt doesn’t really need to have anything to do with gender? In this case it was since it was more comfortable in the heatwave and as a form of protest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spicy Air ☢️⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But half the earth is in darkness at once? You want to really transport solar energy across half the earth at mass?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spicy Air ☢️⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Building out capacity to transport a massive amount of energy over thousands of kilometers isn’t really that great either. Also, when it comes to night this is kinda not possible to avoid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spicy Air ☢️⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But for a stable network you need to account for times with no sun and no wind.
