@vvvambbassadvs @JoshuaBailey184 you could watch avatar the last airbender or the incredibles at 8 years old or 32 and they kick ass for both; we don't have to live like this

@JoshuaBailey184 It isn't, and chronically online whiners with expectations that are too high doesn't magically encourage nintendo to 'do better' in their eyes either.

Saying "It's media for kids, it doesn't need to be smart" is how we ended up with Gen Alpha who can't read, can't write, & can't debate, analyze a text, or think critically without ChatGPT

@teodorio You used to make 100k before the mass-layoffs? That's cool. We have 5000 people who want to the job and we know that every other company industry wide dropped the salary for these positions by 30k per year. Someone will take it to pay their mortgage and you'll still be jobless.

@teodorio Everyone is clamoring for work. Those still employed are being told to use these AI tools that swallow a dozen jobs each or be replaced by someone who will. If the AI ever get too expensive? Hire the hordes of people begging for jobs at pennies on the dollar with no repercussions

Why has AI psychosis affected primarily high level executives? Is it because they have no easy way to empirically see the limitations?

@CryptoCyberia we kneel to the goon king

This is hilarious ngl

@HRpufnsting FYI that user blocked me so I couldn't respond myself but I think they may be trolling, their entire schtick seems kind of disingenuous so just a heads up that it may not be worth investing your time into arguing with them

@GreenKnightMA @digitalwitches @HRpufnsting @NBinted If my buddy is selling a book and I tell everyone to read it, it seems like it'd be worth mentioning our personal relationship as that might be incentivizing me to get people to buy his book. After all, he's taking me on a boating trip this summer with the boys using the proceeds

Our world is a worse place for everyone because of an ex-boyfriend's self-admitted false allegations about a Kotaku review that doesn't exist for a browser game that costs zero dollars to play.

please shut the fuck up i don't even care about the specific thing you're saying i'm just so tired of hearing predictions one after the other telling me what the future is going to be like just please shut the fuck up

@JakeTheL3mur This would just bridge the gap to ensure your machine still operates in the interim to getting a new case

@mesgegr4 Heres the thing tho my case is falling apart in general I need a new one its old af

For those Unaware of all my PC Problems this happened this Morning if anybody is willing to help me at all or able to I would appreciate it Im at a complete loss and pure desperation at this point if I dont get a New PC Case soon I am screwed

@JakeTheL3mur A switch connected to the right pins, depending on the motherboard, could enable you to boot without purchasing a new case. Would cost like $15 and some time researching which pins to connect it to for your model

@mesgegr4 The power button on my Case is Broken

@MakoFukasame @hellphlegm basically the idea is that it means the host machine (in my case a mini-pc) doesn't have to use its weak GPU to transcode media for local play on my television. I've yet to run into a file format it can't handle

@MakoFukasame @hellphlegm I use my shield exclusively for jellyfin direct play. it processes any media format I throw at it (bypassing transcoding work the host would otherwise need to do.) if I want a regular streaming service / youtube / anything else, the smart TV can handle it without hiccup

i wanted to go with plex, but they’re weird with privacy and data collection, also not a fan of the subscription. jellyfin has been good even if it doesn’t work as seamlessly, your files are yours

@MakoFukasame @hellphlegm an nvidia shield would fix that issue pretty handily

Nah it’s buggy and can’t play lots of files on LG TV, or with apple tvOS the Swiftfin client is missing tons of functionality Library naming/metadata is wonky and takes getting used to Still a great service and love it, but understand nature of it being free it can’t cover everything

@SudiptaCha6957 Marcille is canonically into his sister tho

Only 3 types of elf couples

@fleshsimulator @pyrameadhead @leftypol_org why is there a racist part

@pyrameadhead @leftypol_org You cut off the racist part

Dudes will join DSA to meet chicks, fail and tell themselves they were going to save the world but now want it to burn and start schizo posting and doxxing people over SpongeBob memes

@esterdiol @itsmedanielfc @KelseyTuoc @brazen__head dude are you ok tho i think the irony poisoning may be leeching into your bloodstream

@itsmedanielfc @KelseyTuoc @brazen__head i said this in a sephiroth voice to my girlfriend and she laughed so im sorry im afraid you are

I doubt that anyone I know steals from Whole Foods, but the milieu that the article depicted, where it's normal for perfectly well-off people to steal things because why not, was really upsetting to read about, so I actually want to try to earnestly explain why you shouldn't do this just in case there's someone out there who has never had it explained to them. When a business opens - or really, as soon as a business starts making plans to open - a defining question for the business is how it will collect payment for the goods or services it provides. If you trust the people you sell to, you can be pretty relaxed about this; send people an invoice, most of them will pay it on time, any who don't will pay it a bit late. You have to think about convenience and mistakes but not about people trying to cheat you. This saves you so, so much defensive planning to make sure you get paid. It's so much easier. But if you're selling to the general public, you do have to think about people trying to cheat you. You have to structure the physical store so that it's hard for them to steal. You have to not carry some items that you'd like to sell, because they'd also be attractive targets to steal. If people swap price tags between items, you can't use stickers. If people put things on in the dressing room and wear them out, you need to pay someone a full time salary to monitor the dressing room. The world that we all live in is much poorer than the world we'd live in if people didn't steal. The stores don't carry things that they could carry if people didn't steal. They don't use pricing and inventory systems that would be way easier and more convenient if people didn't steal. But it could be much worse! If I walk down to my local Whole Foods today, items on the shelves won't be locked behind sheafs of plastic - that is only worth it when the background rate of stealing is much higher than it is at my local Whole Foods. When more people steal, businesses have to further intensify security, or go out of business. When you shoplift, you directly and unambiguously impoverish your community. You make prices higher for everybody else, you make stores less usable for everybody else, or you make businesses not viable that would otherwise be viable. The direct impact each time is small, but it's a lot larger than the direct impact of taking some trash out of the trash can to throw on the ground, or pouring just a tiny bit of poison into your local river, and most people have a deep, instinctive abhorrence of antisocially wrecking your community like that. So don't steal. The other thing that it seems possible some people might not understand is that while you might have a social circle that is incredibly nihilistic and cynical and thinks that everybody steals, in fact this is not true. Most people do not steal. Most people, if they learn that you steal, will lose more respect for you than you had to lose. I don't know anyone who has shoplifted except 'as a kid/teenager'. It is not always the case that virtue is rewarded and vice is punished but even before you bring the legal system into it, the risk-reward tradeoff of having everybody you know know that you steal things sometimes is absolutely terrible. Who would hire someone who steals things? Who would trust them around a vulnerable person? Who would want to live in a society with someone who will delightedly and routinely wreck it for the slightest personal benefit? I hope that "Gina" turns her life around. I hope that Gina realizes that she needs to. And if you have been told that it's just a corporation or that having ethics is lame or that if you think about it, other bad things happen too, like wage theft, so that means stealing is okay, I hope you really, actually, think about whether you'd accept any of those as excuses for anything else.

IN THE SAND ZONE

@soigomaa the statue is still screaming at me
