It’s them! They’re the ones who traded away my high class stock exchange lifestyle for that it a lowlife bum over a one dollar bet!

I’ll say life-crippling debt roulette is certainly one of the more frustrating aspects of our system, yeah. Non-labor costs are a hit or miss of rejections, especially, since you don’t have the same protections.

E.g. Indiana friend owes 40k for a 15 dollar mandatory procedure, for instance, and he has to fight it since it’s clearly a random rejection. It’s very upsetting. I just don’t want to paint the picture it’s always life-crippling, just… very random.

Let’s not spread incorrect numbers, our hmo made the cost of labor about $100 (maybe because of California). Childcare, formula, etc is still way more than $5k but labor is only expensive with bad insurance or no insurance, which is actually kind of more ironic since that applies more to MAGA than the rest of us.

I find it funny Microsoft gave me a survey on my work PC asking about how I’m enjoying its products (I laughed in Linux, “how do you like windows customizablity” let me go off about KDE lol)

But back to the subject. Literally everything they work on seems to turn to shit — I wonder what kind of survey feedback are they usually getting? “Oh, Skypes cool but I really like Teams”

Funny how, despite corporate trying it’s hardest to kill it, we’ve only managed to get better, more organized and safer with file sharing (and perhaps because of them, in many ways).

To be fair, most states are non-voting.

A reminder that Trump voters have barely moved on approval; this is what they wanted. Be sure to treat them the way they deserve.

A tool is a tool. Main problem are the tools using the tools, usually.

Yes, and that’s why Dark Souls is fun. Lol

That sounds like a fun time. In modern day though I’d hope the selected representatives would have professional aides, especially where I am given your average American is practically illiterate. (It’d probably work better in Japan, lol.)

Well, we do know C’thulhu outranks Yahweh so that’s probably him. Jolly guy in the left looks like a post-ascension Buddha (judging by those ears).

Fellow on the right eludes me, though. Reminds me of God in Futurama whom Bender meets, but that could be based on even something else from sci-fi I’m spacing out on.

To be fair, Tiramisu should be America’s favorite dessert.

Reminds me that just recently I heard they equipped busses with automatic “AI assisted” detection in their lanes. In very little time they’ve issued 10k tickets, though.

This is the main reason in OG sci-fi RPG games with cloning as the “resurrection”, I try to ironman my way through without any deaths.

You aren’t my real Rolf, Rolf. The real Rolf died 5 minutes into the game while I was grinding levels.

There’s a reason the skies over the valley aren’t orange anymore… :/

Lol I recognize that container. It’s not entirely the cats fault.

A real government would look into ways to just give basic income to creatives (and anyone else) so even if they didn’t have to slave away illustrating for corps, they could focus efforts on art. That’s how you operate in a post-scarcity world.

But nah. Capitalism.

There’s certainly some improvement. I’ve played Sunshine recently on an emulator and it’s not as refined as Odyssey and yes, the physics jump a bit from 64 to Sunshine to Galaxy to Odyssey. They’re all quite enjoyable, just the Switch admits to only being a slight step up from a Wii U, lol. They all use tricks to look better, same with Zelda BotW artistic blur, etc.

In any case, Mario doesn’t exactly need picture perfect ray traced lit graphics where you can see every fiber of his mustache or how his overalls reflect light just right so you can see the denim texture. Then again … Lol

I think what’s more interesting is Mario today doesn’t even look much different than Mario 20 years ago. The Switch just never bothered, plus graphics in general are flattening out.

Can China demand regime change? Please?
