  • US prices continued to rise despite Trump claims they are ‘rapidly’ falling

  • Inflation covers everything* but not everything has gone up in price.

  • Hackernews is a VC-funded website for techbros who want to feel like they're cool and smarty hackers. It has an even higher percentage of know-it-alls than reddit. MBAs who got into it for the money.

  • How did far-west era US dealt with "Male loneliness"

    Jump

  • Ok you seem like an expert on this so I'll just trust you that there is not an aspect of popular male culture that makes many men lonely. It's just social media incels.

    The average adult man definitely socializes just as much as the average woman. You've found that old guys have as many friends as old women in your research, right? There haven't been studies about this going back decades or anything - it's all incels on social media. My bad.

  • You're conflating things here. Terminally-online incels are often racist, would you say racism is nothing but a construct of the incel social media?

    I do agree that it gets weaponized by grifters and misinterpreted by many more but you are contributing to the problem by acting like it's an idea spawned from bitter dudes online or that it's an idea inseparable from misogyny.

  • Yeah, and the second half of this post really isn't an opinion. It's a claim that can only be made by someone who has never even tried to find data to back it up.

    We could bomb ourselves back to the stoneage and people would still gather to see others throw rocks through hoops.

  • Stardew Valley Creator Says 1.7 Update Will Contain 'More Character/Social Stuff' and a New Farm Type

  • Ahh ok I've played since most of those were added but not the mini games or towns. Might have to give it another play this winter

  • Ironically, dismissing it as just an incel thing is EXACTLY the problem. It's not about women at all, it's about friendship. And the social norm predates the internet, social media just exacerbated it (and for many women, too)

    It can be hard for guys to make friends when they've lived their whole life in a "just man up" environment. I didn't grow up in one of those and I still struggle to be vulnerable around my friends. I'm not an incel, it was just never taught to me so I had to figure it out myself.

    The point of talking about the male loneliness epidemic is not to complain but to retire that type of male culture. Encourage men to be there for each other, put themselves out there, meet people and make friends.

  • People will ALWAYS enjoy watching the best of the best do their thing. As much as I dislike sports, they bring more good than bad.

    I think your problem is really with the sports organizations commercializing it

  • I give her credit for sticking to the Epstein files and I give her credit for being vocally angry about the delays. I will not give her credit for being "smart"

    And again, not at all the first rat off the ship. She bailed when Trump snubbed her.

  • Trump’s ‘Bah! Humbug!’ address suggests he is feeling the chill of opinion polls

    Jump

  • Don't give her that credit. She stopped getting what she wanted so she bailed. She was not the first rat off the ship either. She didn't come to her senses or anything.

    That said, I support her efforts to splinter the party. Not because I agree with her but because it benefits me

  • Calling academia "evil incarnate" for that is a bit much.

  • This really should be a "I see how it could be interpreted that way, I could have phrased that better" moment. Your use of language was just atypical, I doubt people think they're smart for downvoting it. Calling him the "no kings hitman" implies he's a hitman associated with the rallies or a hitman sent to kill the organizers.

    If someone murdered a politician on MLK day, would you call them the MLK hitman? Probably not

  • I Don't Think Larian's CEO Understands How Art Is Made

    Jump

  • Feels like people are assuming they're generating images and calling it concept art but there are so many ways an artist could use it in the process of making concept art. A process that starts with pumping out as many minimal-effort concepts as possible... Do you really want to colorize 20 sketches that will likely get scrapped or would you rather stick it in a homebrewed ComfyUI workflow and have a slightly worse version done in 30 seconds?

    I know this is the fuck ai community and I do agree with the sentiment but hating on "AI" as a vague idea is a bit ignorant. There are legitimate uses for it, they're just overshadowed by the awful ones getting pushed to us by corporations.

  • Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI.

    We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do.

    I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists.

  • Did you just try to correct the title while admitting you have absolutely no idea if you're right? Also, none of those bands are anything alike. That's like saying "I don't like guitar music"

    Keep your musical ignorance to yourself, man
