  If you put them too close to each other, Russia will try to invade. They’re drawn to it sorta like a magnetic Poland field. Once you have too many Poland’s, it’s best to play it safe.

  I picked a rather niche field for my career. Leaving where I work would basically be a career reset. At the same time, a lot of my family chose not to live in a big city, and there aren’t lots of good jobs there no matter what field I worked in. This was a career path I took knowing that flying around was no big deal.

  Other people are replying that Trains will cure all the world’s ailments. Even if we had good train infrastructure, it would get you from New York to Florida, it would never get you something weird like from Montana to Nebraska in a timely manner.

  This is a much less cool post when you realize that the Earth can only sustainably support 10 billion people if we never fly, give up a lot of our modern tech, and have rice make up 50% of our diet. Basically any meat is completely off the table, as with personal cars, and probably standalone houses. If I’m given the choice between not having kids and not flying to see my family for holidays, I’ll take the no-kids option.

  The fact that California decided to sue Valve for Counterstrike and not sue EA for FIFA is just blatant targeted harassment. Valve’s right for pointing out that any precedent set here would make Pokemon cards and Baseball cards illegal, both of which are actually advertised directly to kids.

  Everyone blames swatting on the person who called in a fake report, but swatting only works because the are idiots. Someone actually decided to bring 20 cars to an house legally owned by an 85 year old with a single unverified repot as their only evidence.

  Unironically, alpha male shit is a psyop from big corporations to encourage employees to work harder in the hopes of getting imaginary super-raises.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Durian supremacy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve only had it once or twice. It kind of resembles a mango and a banana mixed in flavo. Maybe like 75% mango and 25% banana. I was quite fond of it, but unfortunately the stickiness afterwards was quite unpleasant and never came off no matter how much I washed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Controller: Reservations open May 8th - Steam News⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Before release, the only thing people seemed to want to do was complain about the price, and now they’re way sold out. Never trust pre-release opinions I guess.

  Am I allowed to immigrate across countries if I engage in a match of melee combat with the leader of said country and perform well? Murder optional.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google says 75% of the company's new code is AI-generated⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anthropic is probably on the leading edge of vibe coding, and in the past month, they’ve had major server uptime issues, they accidentally released the source code for their biggest product, and as of this week, their latest model was accidentally posted on an open URL for anyone to download. In the last 6 months, people have actually switched from vibe coding small apps to vibe coding major sections of their core infrastructure, and all evidence so far suggests that the consequences will come.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peace in the Middle East possibly? 🚨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Finally, we know the answer to the great questions “will there be peace in the middle east?” And the answer is “don’t stop, I’m close!”

  This car says tracker on the outside, but modern cars have trackers everywhere on the inside. Capitalism just keeps innovating!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Land where⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Russians would actually send their cosmonauts to space with a gun in case they encountered a bear before rescue while in the wilderness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Racing fans, is Forza Horizon 6 for me?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. The real question is; is this game for the racing fans you addressed this question to? The answer to that question is definitely no.

  Caveats, caveats, caveats. No one has come out with any good racing game for years other than F1, and Forza Horizon isn’t bad like my answer made it seem, but it is definitely a casual game targeting a casual audience.

  The endless stream of repeated “unscrew it” comments is also mildly infuriating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fallout 4 might be a very good immersion Sim, but it’s probably the worst FPS I’ve ever played. I think it could have been a cool turn based JPRG. The best part of Fallout is it basically never runs out of content, and I wished for that experience when I was on late-game Clair Obscur.

  Ils? Peut-être “nous”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Amazon was always publicly traded, so it was always going to get worse. Steam is privately owned by Gabe, and is therefore more resistant to enshittification. Unless Gabe sells or dies, Steam’s pretty safe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forza Horizon 6 requirements are out⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe that even if you’re running Windows, if you installed the game on an ExFat drive, it would refuse to launch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forza Horizon 6 requirements are out⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I love how they don’t even mention they’ll lock oit anyone who didn’t install it on an NTFS drive like every other Forza game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Precognition proven! Parapsychology vindicated!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oil futures is a thing investors buy where you pay money now to have the right to buy oil at the current price later. If the price goes up, you can actually buy the oil and sell it at market value, making money. If the price drops, you only lose a little bit of money. In future trading, there is a huge advantage for being the first person to buy a future. No one is investing in oil right now becuase the blockade caused by the Iran war. Over the weekend, Trump tweeted that he was in negotiations with Iran to end the war, which would make oil futures profitable again. After his tweet, a ton of future sales happened really quickly. However, there was also a huge blip before his tweet. The only reason you would bother investing in oil futures before his tweet is if you knew he was about to tweet it. This is an illegal form of investing called insider trading, but it is something Trump has been suspected of doing several times since this term.

  That’s actually good news in my eyes, we definitely won’t see this hit the consumer market for years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Resident Evil Requiem currently peaking at over 300,000 players on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And it was the best Resident Evil for a very long time. Honestly, being the best can cut both ways. I’ve avoided buying remakes for some of my favorite games because “I’ve already played the campaign 5 times, am I really gonna pay $60 to play it a 6th?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Resident Evil Requiem currently peaking at over 300,000 players on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Remakes will never be as popular as new games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good question⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically every winter sport has the same story: Your parents are millionaires and can affort to regularly take expensive trips to resorts. Gear, lessons, and any other fees are all taken care of from the time you were 4.

  Most summer sports have many stories about poor athletes making a name for themselves and getting traction. That’s possible when the upfront costs are a soccer ball and shoes, not a custom-tuned piece of modern engineering and 5 accessories.

  I love this story because it’s obvious your son asked this during the several minute long loading screen. No matter what year it is, Bethesda games take at least a minute to load.
