Nope no sir because then the dollar has no meaning.
- Comment on You'd need to calculate the compound interest 2 days ago:
You can calculate it manually as Future Value = Present Value * ( 1 + Interest in integer form )^number of terms
So for example a $1 at 6% APR for 5,000,000 years would be
F = $1 * ( 1 + 0.06 )^5,000,000
F = $12,615,609 if I’m not too tired to think straight rn
I think technically that does outperform inflation so you will have slightly more purchasing power than $1 today.

If the wish granter were powerful and genuine in how it was implemented it might also guarantee continuation of the human race for 5 million years.

I’m not assuming anything, I’m saying we should make something happen.

How about we figure out a better way to detect and sort it so I don’t have to waste time making judgements?

No, theres a fucking difference, mate. AI has empowered the worst people to make shit they otherwise couldn’t have, and it has degraded the works of anyone with some level of skill.

A lot of great games get middling reviews, but I’m expected to parse whether or not something contains slop by a glance?

So at the end of the day we all have to go digging through muck. Horrible.

- Comment on YouTuber Faces Possible Jail Time for Reviewing Gaming Handhelds 4 days ago:
According to the video, officials are not required to disclose what exactly the charges are or who has brought them until the initial investigation is complete under Italian law. At that point, the case is either dismissed or goes to trial. The complaint specifically mentions reproduction of copyrighted material from Nintendo and Sony, but the case may originate from the agency itself.
So for now we don’t actually know the charges or if the trial will procede, but yeah definitely not fair.

It’s weird, I don’t know if Bill Burr has ever made jokes that took it too far. Definitely a couple bad takes, tho. Reason it is weird is because I have an inherent distrust of Bill Burr, just can’t place why.

- Comment on talking to my dad about depression 5 days ago:
Some forms of depression are genetic, so this is “common” but constant suicide ideation is not “normal, functioning, or healthy.”
- Comment on talking to my dad about depression 5 days ago:
I think it’s highly likely genetic in this example.

- Comment on Work as a waiter 6 days ago:
I’m not accusing anybody involved at Wacker or the contractors of being drunk, but if turning a bolt wrong kills one and injures four then you can imagine drinking at work is not exactly a great idea.
It’s just as dangerous on foot as it is for drivers, even grocery clerks can get crushed under pallets of boxes weighing hundreds of lbs minimum, there should be no tolerance for it.
