This is the only advertising that listen too. I wish online reviews were 10% as useful.

This feels like an executive saying “I want to have an Xbox handheld”. Then saying to make it profitable without market research.

I feel like the Xbox brand is not long for this world.

I wonder what is causing this. Netflix being unable to buy or create shows to fill demand, Hollywood Writing going downhill, or Executives cancelling shows quickly.

This is why we all need to talk with our friends, families, and even co-workers to get out and vote. Most voter turnout rates I’ve seen are 60-70%. There has too be more sane people outside of the cult.

Automation and AI have the potential to put lots of people into unemployment in the next 20 years. For the sake of preventing that unemployment, it’d be good if people had fewer kids. Yet for some reason, governments struggle really hard to comprehend that simple connection.

Because they assume all people will be consumers of goods. So if they have more people, there will be more consumers to buy things.

Now the assumption falls apart in any rigor since automation means that less people are needed for labor and would have money to buy gods. But that requires a government that thinks beyond the limited lifetimes of those running the government.

In an ideal world I think data center waste heat would be captured for use in a district thermal grid / seasonal thermal energy store like the one in Vantaa.

Yes, this would be the ideal for dealing with that issue. Re-use that heat to generate some of the energy the data center is demanding.

Imagine there’s an engineering & physics issue to be solved. But where would we find those top talent people to solve it?

If only they cared about the rule of law in their state as they do the politics outside their state.

This is too accurate to be satire.

I’ll care about cat breeds when my cat starts showing that she cares about anything.

Is there a news article on this?

And forget about picking up on allegories.

Lord of the Rings is a story about a long hike gone wrong. It has nothing to do with East/West dynamics, the question of power, masculinity, or the simple things of life.

“Bungie is making a new game based on Marathon”

Great, I’m in.

“It’s a multi-player extraction shooter”

Nope, I’m out. This smells like a “Prey” situation.

Isn’t that open mic night at a comedy venue?

I would also include the death of the “third place”. Because even if you work enough to survive, where do you spend your time outside of the home with other people in your community without spending money? Even worse options if you want kids allowed.

One of the only places I know of is the library. But I’d be very surprised by an 8-10 year old boy spending their time at the library.

What did he expect to happen?

That’s like complaining about someone punching back after you sucker-punched them.

Well, it is a “sin” to emphasize with others.

How to get a lawyer to investigate…

That’s the odd thing about the stock market. Its value of a company is not on how much money it makes. That seems like something an efficient market would be able to determine.

They’d only find that the call was coming from inside the house.
