People aren’t going to want to download a bunch of stuff they don’t know about to hang out with the HOA for game nights…
The main problem with HOAs is lonely bored people who want something to do.
Most people would rather pretend the HOA doesn’t exist until it’s needed for an actual issue.
I always thought because the target demo was kids…
You’re biggest villain/rival is still a kid in your class that goes to the same gym class as you.
Thats what the fuck I meant
You should have done that I guess…
I’m gonna follow my instance rules and not respond
They said… In their response…
you want to hurl insults
No one did that, you might have replied to the wrong person
So…
You didn’t learn anything at all, and are gonna stay ignorant and upset.
Weird choice, but you do you I guess.
Idk I kind of wanted a clean slate since its been so long
So you want the new Fallout game…
To not be a fallout game?
How many have you even played? They’ve all referenced each other, and even FO1 referenced Wasteland.
The series has quite literally never in its entire existence been a “clean slate”
Why not?
Seriously, when we want shows/movies to connect to games, why do people get mad when it’s reciprocal?
when the bottom line replaces humanities interest
And there’s room for some capitalism before that point…
Like, UBI with stores where you pay for goods is still capitalism to some degree, if capital is involved at all, that’s capitalism.
Capitalism is like any other vice.
In moderation it’s fine, often even beneficial.
But if it’s the sole focus you’re fucked. We’re not responsible cocaine users who want to stay up dancing every other weekend, we’re full blown crackheads on capitalism.
The AI corps building the datacenters pretty much all have blank checks and want to be the biggest.
So the other corps that make chips, will always focus on what’s most profitable, which is what the AI centers use.
For it to be “worth it” to produce any consumer level tech, they have to raise the price to justify not just making the AI chips
So it’s not a conspiracy that’s raising prices, it’s capitalism working as intended, and to fix it would have to fix the focus on profits and replace it with fulfilling needs of the people. Which is pretty much the opposite of capitalism…
Non-human bots now account for 56.5% of internet traffic
Traffic, not content…
But still, we’re getting there
I mean, cocaine isn’t safe for the body either, but try telling that to a big breasted stripper while she’s punching you in the face with double D’s.
Lots of people make risky decisions…
But in this case it’s pretty safe. Ruptures are so common the filling is just as inert as the membrane.
I would imagine that any artificial thing (including implants) could last forever when left undisturbed for any given length of time
Then you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how things happen, and an oversized confidence in modern caskets.
Not to mention what seems to be a complete lack of understanding what “artificial” means
But they’ll rupture and leak…
Like, they’re not even a “lifetime” thing, go 20 years and you’re risking it. Most are recommended to be replaced after a decade, maybe 15 years. Which isn’t that long for a major surgery and why they’re almost always insured.
I knew a stripper back in the day that would basically beat people up with them, because if it ruptured she got new ones free, and if they didn’t rupture soon, they’d last long enough she’d have to pay for new ones out of pocket…
Because they’re not a permanent thing.
What?
I mean, obviously bones rot, but you think silicone implants last forever?
Besides telecoms not following their own generational requirements that they made up for themselves…
A big issue is that each new one always seem so much better, because no one else is on it.
Once adaption happens and people move to it, it free up the prior one and cuts down on the advantage.
If I said there was two types of fruit, would you there’s more than two species of fruit?
There’s two types of fediverse basically.
Reddit knockoff
Twitter knockoff
Sometimes a #2 can post to a #1, they stand out because they always tag people and us hashtags in comments, when they manage to create a post, they never seem aware and get very very belligerent when people try to explain what they did that created a post.
If you want to engage with them on their level, you need an account on a twitter knockoff.
atoms/molecules
Two completely different things, on a molecular level that could just be stored potential energy. Like when a mousetrap is set or not, it doesn’t change it’s weight.
That’s how splitting atoms make atomic bombs there’s potential energy holding shit together, and we poke one to make it release which cause a giant chain reaction which adds up. Even then the “lost” mass is just blown up. I don’t think used my lease fuel gets substantially lighter for example.
Or to rephrase it: does a knife/scissors/etc just split something or does it remove something?
So, solids aren’t really solid. Like, at an atomic level no two molecules are actually touching. Think of it like a magnet floating above another.
What you cut it with matters too, something insanely sharp like a medical grade obsidian blade wieled with skill is so sharp, it’s just going to separate the molecules. And remove very little material.
Try to cut a piece of paper in half with a baseball bat, and lot of material won’t be attached to either of the two biggest pieces. Because it’s a big blunt object.
