    Yeah it's almost like basing social order too heavily around easily game-able systems like money is the problem. Weird.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Or the implied social contract of being a jedi, that allowed the Republic to remain stable for thousands of years, is "use your powers to protect order and we won't hunt you down and kill your kind, also don't breed and produce even more powerful offspring that we will have a harder time...

    A new 4070 is going to be a better deal than most used 30X0s, especially if you can get an FE. I do feel like the partner boards are overpriced. I feel like the 4070 is something you could easily resell for 350 2 years from now. I would not buy any of the more expensive cards until Nvidia...

    AI music

    That's kind of the whole thing with AI. It can make trash art that looks like all the other CGI trash art that people have been making. It can make trash autotune music like all the other trash autotune music. It can write trash insecure programs like a lot of beginning web developers. It can...

    I am not putting any long money into the market at this point until the debt ceiling drama is resolved. There will be drama, the media and the market demand drama. SPY and everything else will go on sale at least 10% off. Think of it like a coupon.

    You should definitely be upgrading that CPU. Get a 13600K. Everything else can probably wait, though the 4070 is a pretty good card for the price. I cannot recommend a 4080 at the current price.

    Age of consent in WA is 16, but she would be an authority figure, which usually has some additional layer of enforcement.

    One guy in my senior class had sex with a 26-year-old substitute teacher who also happened to be the older sister of one of his soccer teammates. But he was 18 at the time. There was drama over it, because EVERYONE found out about it, but not like this lol, that's fucking nuts. Two male...

    Wondering how many years before we have almost entirely AI rendering pipelines. Roughly model stuff out with polygons, supplement with photography then an AI model does all the texture-mapping and post-processing.

    Fires of Heaven and our continued disappointment

    This is what 90% of games get wrong, the basic gameplay loop. The game has to be fun to move around and push your buttons. It can't just be a laggy skinner box money funnel.

    lol, yeah, this is the real irony with the 'omg they're sexualizing kids' moral panic. Teens and young adults are having like 3x less sex than they did 30 years ago, because hiding in your room until you're 30+ like us vidya addicts did is now the new normal. The punishments need to be higher...

    Murderous Rider is not in Standard and therefore not in Alchemy. I also don't think you understand what this deck does. The point of Reality Chip is to cast all your moxen+lotuses+cantrips off the top of your deck and just go off, particularly with a Rusko in play but even without, and keep...

    Rusko and Oracle were obvious, but I'm the only person I've run into that's using The Reality Chip. It's a good early blocker against the aggro decks and then it just lets you go off against the midrange and control decks if they don't have a way to get rid of it.

    I'm just saying you can't claim 'agenda' when a character has been portrayed the same way from the very start. When all the evidence you have points in one direction, and then you end up in that spot, being surprised just means you're dumb.

    Every USB-A to USB-C cable fucking sucks. It's either too thick, too stiff, too short, too long, too thin, has a weird box around the connector (looking at you, PS5 cable) or some other fucking problem. Someone has to make ones that aren't dogshit, right? For stuff that absolutely needs 3.1...
