Europeans were the ones traveling around between continents spreading plants from one to another without regard for the consequences.
- Comment on Goldenrod 3 days ago:
Said no American ever. There are many things to have conflicts about between nationalities, especially now, but this is a weird one. Europe is probably the continent with the most egregious history spreading invasive species.
- Comment on If WWIII broke out tomorrow do you honestly believe america would win? 1 week ago:
What would its goals be? Realistically, the US was probably bound for conflict with China and Russia before Trump. Now, Trump is creating a scenario where the US will have conflict with its allies and China. This is Russia’s doing.
Militarily, Russia has shown itself to be weak. The US could easily crush Russia in a conventional conflict if it wanted too, but there would be a risk of nukes popping off. Thats why Biden’s strategy was to let it bleed out in Ukraine and hope Putin got toppled internally in the fallout.
Trump creating conflict with US allies creates a scenario where they must work with China. It’s uncertain how that will go.
If the US invades another country, it will likely encounter a prolonged guerrilla conflict and be bogged down there like Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, and Iraq. China will help the other side make it as painful as possible.
Also, this conflict is unlikely to be popular in the US and rather than pulling together like in WWII, Americans will scatter or resist. At least half the country wouldn’t support the war.

The US has access to all of the systems. From a security standpoint they would want to build a new organization.

And what counts as a release these days is just some remaster of a game that was popular a decade or two ago.

Cancer is something Boomers fear because many of them will die from it. Climate change isn’t anything they have to really worry about because they left it for their kids to deal with.

It’s called Kagi Assistant. You can choose any model. For premium models, you need to upgrade.
- Comment on Do you think Google execs keep a secret un-enshittified version of their search engine and LLM? 3 weeks ago:
They do offer access to ALL the LLMs. You could pay $20 to OpenAI for ChatGPT 5, or you could pay $25 to Kagi for unlimited Kagi search and access to premium models for ChatGPT, Claude, Google, Mistral, Kimi, and others.

There is Kagi for the rest of us
- Comment on How much money should one person realistically make or have? 4 weeks ago:
$5 million is the threshold where you start to not need to work full time if you’re not old age. Like, you can basically have 40 working years of your life back and not sacrifice on milestones like owing a home, having a family, security in your elder years, and a comfortable life…
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I know. I’m saying the new price is unaffordable for the salary required to afford it.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
So, I do happen to know that they made some changes to the houses including building a full size basketball court two levels underground. However, making $665,000 is not enough to afford an $5million dollar house.
- Comment on If WW3 breaks out, who is going to be on which side? 1 month ago:
Canada, Europe, Ukraine vs Russia and Belarus
America, Japan, Taiwan vs China and North Korea.
Israel will use the opportunity to fully genocide Palestine, expand into Lebanon and Syria sparking a regional conflict there.
India vs. Pakistan
In practice, some countries will lose rapidly once the nukes fly and a lot of people will die.

Valve would build a compatibility layer and likely try to provide some incentive for game developers to provide ARM versions of their games.

- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 2 months ago:
I personally didn’t love the atmosphere of this game. Didn’t feel very doom like. The gameplay mechanics are also different, but I got used to them. The game is turning more and more into a rhythm game like DDR or Guitar hero where you need to do the right attack at the right time depending on what enemy you’re dealing with.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 2 months ago:
Took me awhile to get into it. I did eventually finish it. My criticism of the game was more that the dungeons aren’t really all that challenging and are mostly just places where the story advances. Not many puzzles or fights. You just do your fighting out in the open world. Also, eventually the fights are easy as you learn how to fight each type. Eventually you just avoid confrontations because they’re just time consuming.

Pretty sure that’s why they have it. It’s to courtesy so you don’t hear bathroom noises.
- Comment on Why Japan's internet is weirdly designed 3 months ago:
Yea, visiting Japan does feel like they are stuck in a retro vision of the future where everything by was going to be driven by buttons. There are buttons everywhere, including at your table in a restaurant and on every toilet too. The toilets even have heated seats, bidets, and play music, all driven by buttons. They also have vending machines everywhere, which are covered in buttons. Ordering ramen at a restaurant? Make sure you tap all the buttons at the machine in the front to make your order.
They still haven’t quite adopted the touch screen fully.
