Why would you buy GTA 6 after 5 became a live service game? Fuck rockstar.

It's been a good couple of years for news coming out of China.

Maybe we'll hear about to xi having a heart attack next

But why male models?

it makes ZERO sense to me that the U.S. hasn’t provided everything possible to push Russia out.

Israel

China

Venezuela getting prepared to invade one of its neighbors.

Couple of nations in Africa are getting ready to go to war too, I forget what the name of it was, Uganda? They're wanting to get a path to the ocean.

The United States needs to be ready not only to fight in Ukraine, but also about four other places in the world right now. I'm in full support of giving them everything possible, but there's a lot of valid reason not to go full of ham.

That's not how that works. Bonds cannot just be asked back like that, they mature over a standard set of time. All you can do is try to sell them to other countries.

And if you do, you're just going to drive down the cost of US debt, the Fed will have to increase interest rates so that people buy from the fed instead. Basically all they're going to be able to do is put a lower bound on American interest rates.

That would be bad, but at the end of the day if the US government needs to fund itself it can still print money.

Also a fire sale on US debt means they have to actually trade it for something. That would create a massive correction in the Chinese economy as there surplus of excess capital and trade turns into a huge deficit, all the factory jobs disappear, American manufacturing booms, and they get the value of what they've produced over the last 20 years that since on the dollar as they fire sell the United States bonds.

Lose lose lose lose lose. I would happily encourage the Chinese to try to do this.

That's ( fixed, messed up mah conversion) .1wh for a second of 3090 time/ 30 images a second.

If a 3090 drew 3 watt hours in 1/30th of a second it would melt.

Possibly off by one order of magnitude though... Editing post to see, and it looks like I was. 300 images per charge instead of 3000.

This is outdated in a big way with stable diffusion turbo and the recent LCM models that can render images at 30fps on a 3090.

360w 1s /60 seconds a minute / 60 minutes an hour = .1 wh/image

30 images a second? .033 wh

A phone battery is 3000 mah 3.5volts = 10.5 wh

318 images per phone charge

My math is probably off, but you get the idea.

It supports my whole point. The world of sex work is filled with abuse and all sorts of nefarious stuff going on. You don't want someone involved in it teaching kids anything about sex.

Doesn't matter if it's a small fraction of offenders, because those small fraction of offenders still affect the majority of sex workers.

Would you.... Want Donald Trump to be your teacher?

If not, why bring it up. You aren't actually supporting your point.

No you're right. They don't have extremely high rates of being sexually assau....

45 to 75 percent.

And this isn't exactly a conservative source. Turns out the people playing for sex aren't always the greatest people.

is doing that by lifting restrictions it previously had on the number of kids per family.

No. They are trying to culturally push people to have kids now. Dropping one child not only didn't work, their birth rates went down since then.

Putin asking Russians to make more kids won’t magically improve demographics

No, but Putin can do more than ask. So can China.

The people who are actually there and know the situation more deeply than either of us seem to disagree.

What about military vets, should they be evaluated to make sure they aren’t encouraging kids to be killers?

Yes.

A former military vet in my school pulled a gun in a McDonald's drive through once and got arrested.

Money gets around and the government has a history of nailing people in unexpected ways.

1 - Russia tries to force migrants into Finland.

2 - Finland closes borders.

3 - Russia forced to accept migrants.

Perfect outcome.

Kids are cheap. All you really need is food and people.

Schools and car seats and houses are expensive, but if a generation has tons of kids, you'll have the manpower to make those things in 15 years.

Russia is kind of fucked right now and not only in demographic decline, but making it worse by killing half their young people. Will they pull out of it? Probably not.

But can they afford it? They absolutely can. And it's bad news for the rest of the world if they do. Don't underestimate this move. Especially because China is doing the same.

The degree. We aren't teaching kids how to be prostitutes.

I would have them checked by a therapist to make sure there is no history of trauma or abuse that hasn't been resolved which could then be passed onto the kids as hilariously unhealthy expectations or more specifically "rules for how things are with guys".

I would also make sure they aren't currently a prostitute. Not exactly an example you want to set for a bunch of kids.

Someone with education in anatomy and experience studying the body in a field that isn't prone to abusive conditions.

Not really.

Rob a bank? Thanks to serial numbers they can tell it's you who is using the money.

Steal from your neighbor? Same deal. Someone will notice.

It's all risks and consequences. Most big acts of "evil" still have those risks and consequences even if you can stop time or whatever else. And your ability is going to be worth so much fuck you money to scientific and other use cases that you really won't have reason to steal or whatever.
