Yeah, the rules have kind of made the passive investment active. I don't understand OPs point at all. I don't understand why we suddenly change the rules and rush things, and OP has provided 0 justification for that.

Chuck Norris made it political ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
China buys 80% of Iran's shipped oil. But this affects the prices of pretty much anyone who imports oil - if China can't get oil from Iran, they'll purchase it from someone else. Less supply => higher prices for everyone.

Except this administration is certainly fascist, and the renaming is yet another facet of it. That article goes through it point by point.

I wish it was more popular - it’s more enjoyable to watch and play since it’s not nearly as much prep / memorization
o/ I'm a silent majority member for sure. I've seen these complaints before and I nod my head every time remembering that "Oh yeah, this DOES suck but I just put up with it because it happens so frequently and there ain't no way I'm switching ecosystems".

Sidenote: please Apple, if I type the same misspelled (but not) thing two times in a row, just leave it be. And no, I did not mean "what the he'll". And why is selecting text so hard.

That’s definitely not suspicious timing

A child is probably more likely to die in a collision of the same speed as an adult.

I feel like it’s gotta pretty deep into their mouth. Idk how they’re not gagging
> The art generated is not a 1-1 copy in any way.

Yeah right. AI art models can and have been used to basically copy any artist’s style many ways that make the original actual artist’s hard work and effort in honing their craft irrelevant.

Who profits? Some tech company.

Who loses? The artists who now have to compete with an impossibly cheap copy of their own work.

This is theft at a massive scale. We are forcing countless artists whose work was stolen from them to compete with a model trained on their art without their consent and are paying them NOTHING for it. Just because it is impressive doesn’t make it ok.

Shame on any tech person who is okay with this.

Donald Trump also openly mocked Nancy Pelosi and her husband after the attack on them, which was done by a Trump supporter who believed Pelosi was trying to steal votes from Trump (which, for the record, was a FAILED assassination attempt). He did nothing to condemn this violence:

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/29/trump-mocks-pelosi-...

Which left wing politician in recent memory has said anything even REMOTELY as violence endorsing as this?

I'll be waiting for ANY sources besides just calling what I'm saying "misinformation"

You're saying the left is more radicalized than the right?

The stats don't pan out: https://arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.c...

Are you just going to ignore stuff like, I don't know, January 6th? When has the left done ANYTHING approaching what Trump and his followers did there?

Trump himself has made COUNTLESS violent remarks himself: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/10/trump-v...

For example:

> We pledge to you that we will root out the Communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical-left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country, that lie and steal and cheat on elections … The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave than the threat from within. Our threat is from within.”

And yet you're going to say that violating the Constitution (the 1st freaking amendment) is a deradicalization effort by this administration?

> it's nonsensical to believe that someone beloved by most people in the right wing would be targeted by a fellow right-winger

Look up groypers and Nick Fuentes - he's a right winger who was NOT a fan of Charlie Kirk and amassed a following about it. There is _some_ very mild evidence to believe that it's possible (I personally don't think that's the case FWIW)

Re:ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live from the Air 'Indefinitely' on Wednesday September 17, 2025 @08:04PM (#45283073)
The FCC chairman threatened to pull ABC's broadcast license over Kimmel's comments. That's pretty much a direct 1st amendment violation.
Re:Uncle Sam shouldn't own Intel stock on Friday August 29, 2025 @08:57PM (#45071009)
I wasn’t fine with that but also Trump is way more unhinged, openly advocates for and implements unconstitutional policies, has damaged the US’s reputation on a global level, has been pretty openly corrupt, and idk has been found liable for sexual assault (basically rape) and is probably a pedophile at that via Epstein, not to mention other felonies.

If you’re fine with that rap sheet, more power to you. I’d rather our president be old than be an old rapist wannabe dictator criminal who has, literally said on a recording, “grab em by the pussy” in reference to women.

Re:Uncle Sam shouldn't own Intel stock on Sunday August 24, 2025 @07:56PM (#45008910)
Completely unwarranted? lol
Yep.

On top of that, the complexity of front end (for me, which is in a “real time” app) often comes down to providing a user experience that “feels good” while also accounting for the complexities of keeping things in sync with the backend(s). For example, I often want a user to be able to update a thing and I want that change to feel immediate, but if 1% of the time that errors out because of business logic reasons, I need to be able to undo the immediateness, restore the previous state, maybe reconcile the local state with the newer remote state, and then display the problem to the user.

Maybe I’m just doing things wrong but there’s just a lot of complexity related to that and I struggle compartmentalizing it in a maintainable way

I lived there for a long while and I'm genuinely wondering what this is? I feel like there were at least some unintentional secondary effects of certain policies but can't think of anything recent and intentional.

Yeah I feel that. It was fun for me, but also kind of stressful. I don't know why I felt the need to min-max it but yeah.

Yeah I think I'm going to stick to becoming friends with friends of friends and with random new people at places where we generally have shared interests, and then seeing if there's any mutual romantic interest after that.

This process sounds emotionally draining.

I love Ocarina of Time speedruns. The sheer level of love that went into that specific run was sooooo beautiful, and like the fact they made it internet live.. via an N64...?

I want to shout out ZFG if ppl arent aware cause he has IMO done the most technically impressive real time speedrun of any game - specifically the 100% SRM run he did is inscrutably insane. But it wasn't just about him - it was an effort by so many people. The number of glitches and exploits that have been found by the community, as well as the NP hard routing and tools created for finding angle perfect setups by various people..

It's straight up community driven exploit art. And it's like yeah, the fastest way to beat the game is to practically manually manipulate memory to redirect specific function calls to give you stuff you need and float around and purposely void out facing exactly a 1/65536 perfect angle setup a hundred separate times to randomly jump around to various rooms in the game?? Wowwwww

And the community around it is so wholesome. The sheer amount of collective curiosity, ingenuity, and effort to dismantle and exploit a 20+ year old game for no other purpose than going fast.. idk. Love it.

Here's a commentated tool assisted human-like run (but not live): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8EE9FXeJnE

You just walked in to a room, called everyone stupid, and then surprised Pikachu faced about the fact that everyone is looking at you funny now.

Maybeee reconsider your motivations and/or your social tact my dude. Cause right now you just look like someone trying to feel smarter than others.

He was just like "I'll take the fine now and change pants tomorrow"

Changing organizations like FIDE doesn't happen by withdrawing.

> Whatever his frustrations are with the governing body

Changes wouldn't happen to governing bodies if people didn't resist.

It’s funny because that’s partly what this a LOT about. FIDE, the defacto governing body of chess, wants freestyle chess (aka 960 aka Fischer random, which does lot to fix the memory issue you’re talking about) to not be allowed to have a “world championship”.

And that attitude led us to these honestly inane events.
