I didn’t think any of those companies did any manufacturing. Are we talking about the same thing? My understanding was there was only three names in manufacturing (the ones I mentioned)
What do you mean by it would force us not to tiptoe around China?
On that note, what do you think about Trump’s policy against Huawei when he was president? I’m inclined to think it’s a good thing despite it not being something Obama (or Clinton or Biden/Harris) would do
Is it really a good idea to let Taiwan and Samsung control all semiconductor manufacturing?
I don’t mean any disrespect, but the graphics look a little dated. What’s the reason for that? Is this game built on a version from the early 2000s or is it just an intentional design choice like those 2d indie games
Idk, I’m bilingual and I only ever think in English. It doesn’t really seem to make a difference though, saying things out loud vs in my head.
I’m learning a third language now and can just barely communicate with others (worked with a taxi driver!). That said, I wouldn’t consider myself truly trilingual yet. I could think in that language but it doesn’t really feel like it changes anything - I still only know the same words in my head
You’re probably right. I just worry uninformed angry people are ripe for being taken advantage of.
And for sure I totally don’t mean absolutely everyone in either gen - that’s never the case. I guess i just look at my older bro and he looks way beyond capacity (44 w/ a 1+2 yr olds) to expect him to do stuff like read and educate himself. Idk, maybe that’s just not his thing regardless.
I absolutely salute parents out there, doing the whole thing though. I’m still just barely trying to take care of myself
Their motto is literally whatever. It’s unfortunate but I wonder how much they even try to properly inform themselves at this point.
Tbf, many have families and homes that require them to submit themselves fully to the brutal dick of capitalism and relinquish all else, unlike millennials and gen z. Because of that, I’m pretty sure if given the choice, gen x would absolutely prefer to fight to maintain the status quo as they’re fully committed to it - that is to say, many likely believe “this is just the way things are” and things are only bad if you’re lazy or you lose your government-issued bootstraps therefore fundamental change like we’ve never seen before isn’t needed and is actually a radical position to hold.
It’s a bit of a bummer since they have tons of experience and executive function skills later generations seem to lack/struggle with
Interesting. I thought that was just in movies. lol
Ok, yeah I figured the same thing
That seems kinda fucked up. Why would you do something like that?
I mean, I at least get fucking with people for money. Doing it for fun, not so much
Also, anyone know what they meant with this line?
I still loved my life so I didn’t want to use the Google custom search API.
Very well said.
As someone that feels like I learned about emotions way too late and recently started trying to actually feel them and whatnot (mr supposedly logical over here), it really blows my mind how emotional people are being about such important things while thinking they’re being rational and reasonable, all the while spending zero time to understand why others disagree with them
This recipe sucks!
the Democrat party convention
You’re definitely not wrong that hurting profits is good leverage. It might actually be the best tool we have
I don’t remember where I heard it recently, but we really need to bring back the slogan “no taxation without representation”
Millennials barely have representation and gen z has maybe one representative. The US was legit founded by mostly young people. It’s nuts to see the contrast to today. It’s not even exaggerating to say this nation hates it’s younger citizens
Edit: grammars
Would that work for literally anything we/nations use government for though?
“The government won’t prevent companies polluting the environment, so just assume it’s every individual citizen’s responsibility” “the gov won’t ensure food is safe to eat, so just follow these tiktok channels because it’s ultimately your responsibility to know what companies are putting in the food you eat” or “the gov won’t protect consumers from unfair business practices so just don’t support companies that are have a monopoly in your area” (this last one clearly ain’t working and consumers clearly can’t do anything; thinking of Comcast or Ticketmaster here). Personally, I think the EPA, FDA and antitrust laws are as necessary as any other basic laws (along with people to enforce those laws).
People making the claim that we don’t need government intervention, or saying private citizens should be held responsible, for government-sanctioned practices are either delusional/willfully ignorant or fake actors trying to shift responsibility from the government which literally has the power to enact legislation.
Imo, the biggest responsibility citizens have is to hold their government accountable. Most Americans legit think all politicians are evil and stupid which really just goes to show that they can’t tell the difference between someone trying to fight for companies to pay fair overtime/holiday pay and someone fighting for us to invest in another war err I mean defense
That sounds really rough. I’ve been smoking, used to dab for a while, daily for like 15+ years and I haven’t felt that paranoid feeling since high school. I do struggle with munchies but my eyes never get red anymore so that’s a plus. I think you probably need some therapy (but I think everyone does). It could be related to anxiety - I definitely have issues with some of that. You also can’t force things. You’re emotions are trying to tell you something and you have to try and listen. In my experience, emotions are very tough to sort out when I’m high - still working on that
It’s worth keeping in mind most people online will usually not have similar experiences to a daily smoker/user. I’ve noticed most people in trees subs have tried weed once or twice, and have typically not smoked daily/regularly. That means their tolerance is typically never impacted. You can still totally take their advice but I’ve always felt it doesn’t apply as much to me or any daily stoner/heavy user I’ve ever known
Glad it wasn’t too bad for you/y’all.
Unfortunately, I wiped my computer Thursday night before our company mentioned anything. lol. I ended up finding out about the issue on Lemmy/Reddit. My company didn’t send anything out until this morning - which I still find insane, my laptop crashed and started looping around 7p (took them like 12 hours).
My laptop just rebooted while I was working so I assumed some program I’d installed caused it (explorerpatcher). I tried everything, safe mode, system restore, uninstall updates. I figured the only option left was to reinstall windows. Done it plenty of times on my personal PC
Oh well, lesson learned. Shit’s totally fucked now. It won’t even connect to the Internet. lol. Definitely a Monday problem though
Good thing back in the day there were probably very few cult leaders…
Does anyone wonder about how the story of Jesus being plagiarized from the Egyptian myth of Horus affects the narrative about the Jesus that supposedly lived and died a century earlier? You know the one that happened to have incredibly important political value for the established leaders of the time?
No? Me either. Praise Horus!
at least for at least!
On that note, that highlight feature that auto-captures kills and whatnot (on some games) is actually really awesome! Hopefully steam ends up having something similar
Ok, now this would actually be cool. I could finally ditch Nvidia’s shitty bloated program
I mean, what did you think when you learned that the US was worried about something as basic as surgical/n95 masks during the pandemic because we simply didn’t produce any domestically?
Seems absolutely silly not to think your country should have some say in how computer processors are developed. I highly recommend the book Chip War to anyone interested in learning more.
That all said, my understanding is all chip design is dependent on design software entirely owned by US companies - so there’s that at least.
