- Comment on "I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations 21 hours ago:
Theoretically, now that Microsoft owns half the AAA studios, you could expect Gamepass to have a lot of day 1 AAA games.
Unfortunately, they just bought all the studios and… ordered them to stop making games or something.
I’d cancel if I hadn’t done it several years ago. Oh well.

I said it’s off topic and Americans need to start realising how good they actually have it financially. Just need to actually be good at something and that’s it.
- Comment on Hope his set doesn't bomb 2 days ago:
8.5% of Americans are millionaires. There are a few countries even higher than that, but in general, it’s significantly higher than most places in the world.
Put it this way: More than 50% of the entire world’s millionaires (in USD of course, not local currency) are Americans. But Americans are only ~4% of the world’s population.
It really is the land of opportunity IF you’re a professional doing… something.

Okay, this is going to be a completely off topic rant, but:
Being a millionaire doesn’t mean shit anymore. It means you own a house in a city and are a well paid professional.
That is an incredibly privileged thing to be able to say tbh.
It’s also why any young-ish American complaining they’re poor should shut the hell up. I’d be on track to becoming a millionaire if I was allowed to do my job in the US. But the country doesn’t want me, I’m too white to even consider an H-1B, those all go to Indian folk lol
In my country, to become a millionaire, I need to set up a business, scam people, and do tax evasion. Because the salaries in my field are at LEAST 5x lower. Remember when the big tech companies hired people out of boot camps and gave them 200k annual salaries? Those guys would’ve gotten hired at 1200-1500 a month here at the same time.
Ah, but since our salaries are lower, cost of living must be low too? Nope, actually cost of living in a nice and “cheap” American city like San Francisco is only 50% more than CoL in our capital.
I would’ve given a lot to spend my 20s being a software engineer in the US and then fuck off to a country with a nice climate, good healthcare and low cost of living before any actual need for the healthcare kicks in. Just wasn’t in the cards for me though.

Yea if this was some up and coming comedian I’d lean into you for saying 375k is not shit, but he makes over 200k a month on Patreon alone, probably more elsewhere too. That’s like if I sold my soul for few grand.

So if the carts stack up outside, the cart guy has to go outside in the rain, slush, whatever. If they don’t, he can stay inside for longer.
It gives him more time to dick around doing nothing.
Waiters also get some waiting around time. If they don’t, they have to run everywhere. Why wouldn’t you want them to have more breathing room?

Not a vajayjay owner but I imagine the speeds would have to be pretty high to smooth the bumps into a nice vibration. Ought to be fun cycling 100 km/h on cobbles, because even when I was younger and more fit I topped out at 50-60 km/h on asphalt.
- Comment on Fucking why though? Are cows endangered? 2 days ago:
The expensive ones don’t have lactose so you must have a protein allergy instead of or in addition to your lactose intolerance.
- Comment on Fucking why though? Are cows endangered? 2 days ago:
Most cheeses you put on a sandwich here in Estonia aren’t aged very long at all. The ones you eat as a snack are.
Also some people who think they are lactose intolerant, will still get diarrhoea from lactose free dairy products. These people actually have milk protein allergies I suspect. Because some of those people also can’t eat wheat products.
My ex is one. Milk, aged cheese or just plain white bread. Or even ducking pasta. All make her shit violently.

- Comment on Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies 3 days ago:
Can already confirm they are doing that.
Well yeah, I guess I meant more that this trend is increasing.
We marked ourselves as “AI powered” . Nobody is using our AI tools after they go live. We can see the logs.
Did using the buzzword help at all with shareholders or customers though?
The executives are building dog shit unrealizable tools right now that nobody uses
Don’t even need to build them sometimes IMO. Friend pointed out that the excellent notetaking app she was using claimed to use AI and then she found this comment on reddit from one of the people behind it:
While FlowSavvy’s auto-scheduling is considered AI in the broad sense that it performs complex tasks that mimic human intelligence (and is exactly what people are looking for when they’re looking for “AI scheduling”), it does not ML/DL. Instead, FlowSavvy uses a carefully-designed deterministic algorithm to schedule tasks predictably, reliably, and quickly.
Everyone seems to be super happy with it as an AI auto-scheduler lol
- Comment on Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies 4 days ago:
I predict that for a while, corporations will lie about using AI more than they actually do, just because it’s still being hyped. But then everyone will stop giving a fuck.

- Comment on proof of wormholes 1 week ago:
That’s also true. I don’t remember mine having any fever or significant discomfort beyond colics in the first months. Teething is when the pain started so like 2 or 3 months in IIRC. Then we definitely had to break out the stuff once or twice. Ex said she asked the doc for advice with that but who knows, she wasn’t exactly honest about anything ever. If she says the sky is blue, I’m going to triple check it at this point. Luckily I have a very healthy and happy baby, barely ever has a fever or complains about anything besides hunger and sleepiness.
- Comment on proof of wormholes 1 week ago:
Yeah, acetaminophen is like the most common painkiller and fever reducer. They make syrup versions of it you can give to children. And, uh, suppositories for babies that are too small for the syrup.
