why is he an orangutan what movie is that

Never quite understood why aliens are gonna crop up to save us if the nukes fly. Like, are we a research specimen and they can only start interfering when we’ve rendered ourselves functionally extinct?

Imagine if every four years Britain had a contest to see who gets to live in Buckingham palace.

That’s us, that’s our stupid fucking constitution.

It’s pretty similar, yeah. A lot of casual investing (and even a worrying amount of professional investing) focuses too much on changes in exchange-value while overlooking use-vale. Exchange-value fluctuates with market trends, with how people feel about something and what they are willing to trade to have it. Use-value is sort of like the ‘floor’ – it’s the material value of something, its practical use.

At the moment, the computer programmes that get called “AI” have an exchange value that almost certainly exceeds their actual use-value (which is still hazy at the moment; this stuff is pretty new). A hardware company like NVIDIA really benefits from this, because it drives up the exchange value of their computer chips, which already have an established use-value. There’s a risk here, though. At the moment, demand for chips is high and they are producing as much as they can to meet it. If it eventually turns out the use for “AI” is significantly less than its exchange value, they’ll find themselves producing more chips than people actually need.

I wonder if it’s just 'cus Nvidia isn’t being talked about much. “AI” is the buzzword, the There’s Gold in Them Thar Hills of this bubble. Hardware is the picks and shovels, where the real cash is being made. If they’re just training this on scrapping text from the web, that’s an easy fact to overlook.

I love enya

it’s inclusion in anything ups the comedic value tenfold

I kinda like the repeating bosses. Sort of similar to fighting Genichiro multiple times over the course of Sekiro, and each time there’s something new to the fight. Granted, Elden Rings repeat fights aren’t quite so developed… but it’s also a decent way to make assets stretch and save on dev time.

Elden Ring is a game screaming for community servers. Like, let people make servers for trading or with different drop rates or mixed up enemy locations.

so yeah, “the class without [owning] production”; though, I like your translation better.

:dean-smile: when they aren’t comparing politics to the fantasy boarding school

:dean-frown: …so they compare it to the comic with the french gorilla instead

We have a steel industry?

My Adventures With Superman is pretty good. I like that it’s actually mixing up and doing new things with the established lore. Never understood why comics boooks are so quick to jump into alternate timelines and multiverses only to repeat the exact same stories over and over.

I could maybe see “Tankie” piercing through Trump’s social circles and winding up in his vocabulary just cus he’s catty and vindictive and the people in his favor are always shifting. But Biden? No way. I think his team are very careful what they say around him. Plus, there’s gotta be, like, at least one or two degrees of kevin bacon between him and anyone online enough to use that word.

Small business are vital to the economy!

When the market crashes, when the dinner bell rings, the big firms need something to eat after all.

just a few threads to tie up and then history can be done for good
