  • The emotional intelligence of a snail! This is what happens when you put a stunted man-boy in charge of anything. Somehow, he has enough regular intelligence to convince other people to join in and give money. Except for the fact, he knows will be a target so he has a huge private security team and uses his kid as a deterrent to gun violence. Before the election, never saw him with any children. After it, see that kid every place he goes. So which is it Elon, are you afraid of people targeting you for what you have done, what you supposedly uncovered in your slash and burn of the government, or is it because of recent events involving a healthcare CEO? Either way he realizes some of the danger he has put himself in.

  • To be fair, Linkin Park had plenty of popularity into the 2010s. Stuff is moving so fast that Gen Z or A are going hear Post Malone or Billy Eilish as a classic in about 4 to 5 years. Hell, they'll say Billy Eilish is out of gas by the time she's 30. Get ready for the AI avalanche, here's a throwback remake of Harry Styles and Bruno Mars singing "Easy Lover" in the exact same style and audio quality that it was originally recorded in.

  • Counterpoint: The Green Party hasn't done much to keep people engaged. They killed themselves.

    At least the Tea Party had a decent run and engaged with the people who would vote for them. Though, it let MAGA convert or overtake it, but the point still stands. The Tea Party did more in the 10ish years it existed than the Green Party has done in 20 years.

  • The man will work 12 hour days at some menial job and the wife will spend all day trapped with kids. Probably get divorced at some point because they find out the stress of everything has sucked the romance out of their marriage. The oldest won't talk to one of the parents and the youngest will think it's their fault.

    This worked back in the old times because at least 2 or so of those kids would die from disease or war. There was cheapish land to go around to be on a farm or have some business. You probably had at least a three bedroom house and it allowed for some privacy. Also, families might help out each other so there could be some support.

    It's a load of shit to think this will happen the way you want. If this did happen, it would probably be some commune that is labelled as a capitalistic paradise and where every one should be. In reality, it would be forced communism with extra steps and new branding. Think company towns mixed with Handmaid's Tale-type woman subjugation. Oh, the freedom is so bright that it burns.

    • Dude isn't even efficient at his own jobs. Supposedly works 100 hour weeks. Can't delegate.
    • Dude accepts government handouts for his companies. Can't finance his own ideas or ventures.
    • Dude purchased a company as a joke and lost money/revenue streams/users/entire countries. Can't even reduce costs while maintaining the things that make him money.
    • Dude used his most profitable venture as leverage for the joke purchase. Can't even make a joke purchase without endangering his best known and most profitable company.

    At what point has this guy been efficient at anything but conning the government out of money and grifting genuinely smart people into working at his companies.

  • They don't own Everquest or Planetside. That was Sony Online Entertainment (SOE for short and separate from Sony Playstation) and then it got sold to become Daybreak Game Company. And, Daybreak hasn't been doing that great last I looked.

  • I just don't think Bethesda has it in them anymore. Except for Id and formerly Tango Gameworks, Bethesda proper and a lot of the other studios it had, have just been missing the mark. Like a lot of big studios, they get big, start to regurgitate what they've already done, and then fail to capture people's attention after a while.

    Why do you think Valve's employees haven't pushed for many new games? Anticipation got too high and they didn't want to compete with the legacy of Half-life or Portal. Half-life Alyx came out and it was decent, but it didn't move the story forward that much. It was mostly about doing a good VR game. Now, they have Deadlock coming out and it has nothing to do with any of it's previous games.

    At a certain point, it's like reading a book from an author that's run out of ideas or hearing a song from an artist that doesn't have anything relevant to say anymore. It's time to move on and make room for someone wants to do something new. Only problem, these big ass companies are now mostly about making money and not about making games. They will ride whatever wave they can until they crash and burn.

  • Personally, no mandatory daily cleanings. But, just like if you smoke, if you basically trash the room, then you should be required to pay higher fees when it takes longer than the minimum to clean up a room. Lots of dog hair, human fluids everywhere, major spills, garbage everywhere, etc. That way you have to pay the overtime for all the time it takes to clean up a trashed room. Take a video of your room before you check out, and if they say it took longer, then dispute it with the video.

  • The biggest thing companies want to do with AI is infinite cheap content. They want generate a movie or other entertainment for a 10th or even 20th of the cost while burning a state's worth of energy. They're going to try and generate a successful movie from models that are trained on previously successful movies. And, they'll get it.

    At least at first. Eventually, even we'll burn out from endless selection of predictable movies and other entertainment. And, I'm not talking just once a year. More like once a month. At some point, hopefully sooner rather than later, they'll learn that the attention economy is not infinite. There is a limit of people, time, and money. They're putting most of their eggs in the this basket and I hope it smashes to pieces.

    AI isn't here to improve anything. It's here to open a path to infinite growth. Infinite entertainment, infinite weaponizing, infinite whatever. More predictable, infinite growth. Problem with that is that we're slowing as a race and sooner or later it will start shrinking. The more they try to take, the quicker this is going to happen.

  • That's because you only see the levels of classes that are interesting to play. Most regular people are going to specialize in something that keeps them alive and has more use for the general public. Did you want to play a level 7 Dentist or a level 5 Pizza Chef? And feats like Least Painful Tooth Extraction for the Dentist or Perfect Toppings Distribution for the Pizza Chef?

  • Oh, shut up, Nimarata "Nikki" Randhawa Haley. You don't give two shits about America being isolationist or not. You only want Taiwan to stay independent because of its tech. If it was just any other island nation in the Pacific, you'd let China take it and not bat an eye.

    You back a party that would turn on you and JD Vance's wife, given a chance. They don't care about you. They like white, seemingly Christian men. They would sooner suck Trump's dick then shake the hand of Indian woman like yourself.

  • Keep up the good work. Not sure how Trump ever turned on any women except with his checkbook. Hell, he has to pay his wife to show up and talk to gay republicans. JD Vance some how got a woman to think he's decent enough to marry. Probably because he agrees with his stupid takes. Dude should be moderating some thinly veiled red-pill forum some where.

    You know what's just as bad as male MAGA republicans? The women that adore them. Given the chance, they would prostitute their wives for a 10 point lead in the polls.

  • Your pastor or preacher told you to do it, not your religion. Pretty sure there's no explicit mention how to use or not use pronouns or using someone's preferred name in the bible. Language is just arbitrary, made up bullshit anyways. Let's reverse it, his name is no longer Jordan Cernek using pronouns he/his/him. Now, it Jerkin Cumneck with the special pronoun of shitstain.

    Jerkin Cumneck is a dumbass. Shitstain shouldn't bring shitstain's political views to work. Jerkin should teach at a private christian academy because shitstain can be an obnoxious asshole over there without having shitstain's fragile little mind broken every time shitstain has to use words that shitstain doesn't like.
