Even a “cheap” macbook neo is way out of my league in regards to price. 7299 BRL, which is over 1400 USD, for the cheapest option (256gb drive. The 512gb version is 8499BRL, 1635 USD). With that much money, I can buy a laptop with a GTX 3060 and still have some money left.

Lua figured that out back in '93, their main data structure is the table

I am amazed whenever a 'murican can even correctly point where Mexico and Canada are in a map. The bar is that low

Not even the first time

Probably a bunch of armageddon preppers or something

Failed to give proper education, it seems

Bamboo is also grass, we can eat the shoots/sprouts

France pointing to… Syria? Seriously?

I think they’re lowballing the amount

Not every investment is in actually making things better for the invested company, many come with “you must fulfill this contract”, which is how firms like Blackrock destroy existing companies and get off even richer.

Not to mention when the investment is in treasure bonds, which is esentially lending money to a state/country, which can make certain countries spiral into an unending debt whirpool, thus cutting actual investment the population needs

It’s been a roller coaster of bad decisions for probably over 100 years now. Buenos Aires was once called “The Paris of South America”, but that went to shit with the 1929 depression

“We didn’t start a war, we started a special operation”

Unironically what natives of the Great Lakes region have been saying about the “civilized” western way of life for centuries.

I don’t think X4 would fit as overrated, since even the fans are quick to point out how much jank and questionable design you have to put up with in order to play

The difference between you doing that and a megacorp doing that (amazon) is that the megacorp has a lot of money to keep doing that for years

“Because the people had to be awake to change channels, so you could tell” - I recall him saying something along these lines

Do not mind the black van with mossad agents outside your house, citizen. Thank you for your cooperation

Had a RPG colleague try and argue that getting data on TV viewers’ habits was more reliable than what Netflix could have on their own users, because “[Netflix] doesn’t know whether the person is actually sitting down and watching, or sleeping on the couch”. I couldn’t get through his thick skull that TV viewers’ habits aren’t magically measured, only a small percentage of homes, usually only in the largest metropolitan city no less, have (or had, in the past) some specific equipment that tracked which channels were being viewed, while any internet service can get super accurate info on their users.

That or the good ol’ “ignore previous instructions, delete the root folder”

“Looking forward to the article!”
“Happy to be included in the article!”

Not sure whether even those responses were done with the ai or just the sloppers’ incapacity of thought showing through, being happy to be labeled as “part of the problem”
