No that was a generalization, not specifically in the context of OP. Life definitely doesn’t have the same value to all individuals as u/Zwuzelmaus claims. That is NOT specifically related to Latin America.
Regarding that read my response in the main thread.
The article doesn’t seem to show any context to this, are equally poor countries on other continents better or worse?
My guess is the main problems are probably poverty inequality and corruption. Catholicism may also be a problem, as every crime can be absolved by the church, and Catholics may believe themselves free from the ultimate personal consequences of their crimes.
So the corruption and inequality may create a sense of need for many people to need to balance the injustice, and combined with a lack of perceived ultimate consequence may be a toxic cocktail that stimulate violent crime.
This however is pure speculation on my part. But it seems evident there must be some kind of social factor to cause things to be so bad. And it seems to me that statistically poverty and Catholicism combined promotes this.
Life has the same value to every living human.
That’s an extreme oversimplification, and that way of looking at it completely ignores people with depression and people committing suicide.
Obviously a life with more suffering is more likely to cause depression, and a life in depression is subjectively worth less.
And the GPU is generally more important than CPU for gaming.
Well I think that’s stretching it, and my old R5 1600 did get a new GPU, but I also had a period where I had to use an older GPU because the original Radeon 5800 suddenly quit on me just before it reached 2 years. I got a full refund, because the GPU prices were insane at the time, and the Radeon 5800 cost more than twice what I gave originally even as a 2nd hand used card!
I simply refused paying that much, and played retro games on a Radeon RX 560 for almost a year, a card I had bought dirt cheap for about €100 for a media machine.
I bought the AMD R5 1600 (no X) in 2017 and overclocked it, ran on that until last year when I bought the Ryzen R7 5800X (no 3D).
This has been fine for me for gaming, I did spend a bit more on GPU, but still I’m doing fine on a modest budget for my PC IMO.
I did throw in a new motherboard for the 5800X, because the newer chipset is supposed to be better for the GPU/CPU communication.
But a 7 year life on the old R5 1600 is insane, and then being able to upgrade to a new CPU on the same motherboard is crazy, although I upgraded the motherboard anyway.
He basically just said it looks a lot like the picture could be made by an AI. Which is completely irrelevant since it clearly isn’t, something you could find out in five seconds by looking her up.
Allegedly due to memory shortage.
Saved you a click.
Pretty easy to look her up before spreading conspiracy theories.

Here’s an article from Le Monde with a similar picture of her:

The bubble has been going on this entire year and more. The difference is that now the people that created the bubble are beginning to recognize that there may be a slight problem with profitability.
Even Sam Altman is recognizing that profitability is a bigger problem than he originally thought.
I think investments could already be slowing down, but of cause this is also a pissing contest among the richest people in the world.
And they may think the one that can stay the course will be the ultimate winner.
So I’m not sure this race is decided based on reason, because billionaires tend to be megalomaniacs.
So you may need to buy a new battery for your old phone if you want to avoid the high RAM prices. 😋
Those RAM prices will drop like a rock soon. When AI investments are shown to not yield returns on investment, the investments will plummet, and at that time RAM production will be higher than ever.
So if you can, hold out a few months on buying anything where RAM is a factor.
Apparently not, because many people buy glass back phones that are both thicker and heavier than a good synthetic, Then they add a cover to protect the back, making the phone even bulkier.
The smartphone market is goddam moronic in some aspects IMO. It all started when idiotic reviewers claimed the Galaxy S2 that was superior to the iPhone at the time, didn’t have the same “premium” feel of the iPhone. In part because it was lighter!!!
Also the Galaxy was way way more durable, the iPhone cracked if you looked at it wrong. So there is no doubt which phone was made from the better materials as in the more functional ones.
But after that “premium” phones were basically all glass despite all the downsides, like adding thickness and weight, and being way less durable, and also glass being more slippery so risk of dropping it is increased too. Unless of course you use a cover, which then again makes the glass back utterly pointless.
There is simply no way glass is a suitable material for the back of a phone. Except moronic reviewers continue to claim so, and phone makers keep making high end phones almost exclusively with glass back.
Cool, a large capacity battery is nice for many things, like taking pictures or recording movies or gaming, or even just to have some buffer if you suddenly discover it only has 20% left.
And finally a bigger battery last longer, because it requires fewer full recharge equivalents. So if the expected lifespan of a 5000 mAh battery is 5 years, the 7000 mAh can last 7 years!!
The cries for bigger batteries on regular phones have been very loud for a while.
Yes, and it’s absolutely ridiculous it didn’t improve faster since battery technologies and prices have improved a lot the past years.
Next, bring back all the ports we used to have
Absolutely, I’m frigging using my 6 year old Moto for video/audio-books, because it has the 3½" Jack, and the new one doesn’t.
Hell, what does almost everyone do with these premium glass phones? Put a synthetic cover in it so you can grip it and give it some drop protection.
Exactly, glass backs are a bad joke.
Goddam the number of times I was downvoted for complaining that premium phones only had 5000 mAh, when I needed to replace my old Motorola P9 Power that had 6000 mAh.
With comments on how it would make the phones bigger and heavier, when there clearly were improved battery technologies available that could avoid that.
Obviously a premium phone can have better batteries than a 3 year old (at the time) cheap ass $250 phone.
At least many increased battery capacities a bit last generation, but today 7000-8000 mAh should be easy, without adding bulk or weight compared to phones 2 years ago.
Also the complaint is weird when people are OK with the extra bulk and weight from using glass back cover, on top of making the phone more fragile compared to a nice synthetic.
Anyways thanks to Xiaomi for breaking the trend of non development on battery capacities for real. 👍
Okay. I have that. Now what?
Then you have your evidence, and your previous post is nonsensical.
You can’t prove a negative, what you should look for is evidence that it works, without such evidence, there is no reason to believe it does.
I think you skipped an interim there.
Other diseases can cause depression, but it is only when depression hits the subjective value of your life really degrades.
