  • Not a single one in my lifetime, that's for sure and only one of them was responding (incompetently, corruptly) to an actual attack.

  • I never paid much attention to the peace prize, but it lost all sauce in my view when they gave it to Obama.

  • Is there any hobby that isn't a sign someone is secretly transgender?

  • CSM I could see. I was just curious. I'm a Necron main, but I'm cishomo. I got in when it was just the mindless terminator aesthetic, but stuck around after the Egyptian style aesthetic revamp. I see all my overlords as very catty.

  • Also, with the so-called "K" shape recovery, it increasingly doesn't matter. Wealth inequality has gotten so bad that I believe it's something like 50% of the economic activity in the US comes from the top 10% in terms of wealth. As this trend continues, the need to serve that bottom 90% of people becomes less and less attractive from a business standpoint.

    It reminds me of Nvidia. Only ~7% of their total revenue comes from gaming. The rest comes from B2B sales and data centers. They have little incentive to waste time and production capacity on gaming efforts. The lack of concern is exacerbated in that industry in particular because Nvidia controls ~95% of the discrete GPU market and there are so few alternatives.

  • They want to build a giant artificial system... with billions of people wired into the internet exchange, and so all of our thoughts go into it... so that they will have current prediction powers, future prediction powers, a true crystal ball. But the big secret is, once you have a crystal ball and know the future, you can add stimuli beforehand and make decisions that can control the future.

    He's cooking here. I've used this for fictional writing I've done in the past.

  • I will also reevaluate it as a still flawed, but ultimately consequential piece of fictional media.

  • In November, Verbund Volksbank OWL and Volksbank in Ostwestfalen, both co-operative banks owned by their members rather than external shareholders, terminated the accounts of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) chapter in North Rhine-Westphalia. The right-wing party denounced the decision as "politically motivated."

    Last July, Berliner Volksbank similarly shut down AfD's donations account.

  • I remember under Trump 1 there was a point where wages for most people started to very slightly uptick and the stock market immediately went into a panic over inflationary fears. It's almost like the stock market is incompatible with a more equal society.

  • It's curious, especially when you look at the director's last work, Blade Runner 2049, which was the exact opposite. Everything outside of the Wallace Corp hyperwealthy scenes looked dingy. Sterile areas were dirty and everything looked prefabbed (on purpose).

  • I didn't take it that way at all. Your comment got my noggin joggin on how often I consume media that's diametrically opposed to my worldview. Stuff like Company of Heroes or Warhammer 40K.

    I have a lot of hours in Company of Heroes 2 and I play OKW only because I like their gameplay style.
