What's the point of such a service? It sounds like performative nonsense.

I guess I'm too old for this sh*t, the whole thing just sounds terribly juvenile.

No, not millions. Billions. Like $70+ billion.

Interesting. Assuming it did not use DirectDraw -- that's often a major pain point.

This is pretty much the experience of trying to play any game from the '90s on modern hardware. It always requires a bit of tinkering and usually a patch from the modding community. Funniest one I've found is Fallout Tactics. The

I've lived in LA ~12 years in a couple of different apartments. In all my apartment hunting I've never encountered a unit that doesn't come with a refrigerator.

-> or take horse medicines Guessing you're referring to the long-debunked notion that Ivermectin is purely "horse medicine." A cursory search (which you apparently have never bothered to do in 5 years) reveals it's be

I don't need to use him. I know plenty of poors who routinely shoot themselves in the foot IRL. Cognitive ability/IQ is actually a better metric for predicting poverty than socioeconomic background BTW.

You make dangerous assumptions about me in order to justify your preexisting view of poverty and socioeconomic mobility. My background is very poor. Food stamps, raised by single mom, whole nine yards. For most of my 20s I existed in the ve

Have you ever watched Caleb Hammer's "Financial Audit?" People in dire financial situations very often have a history of making bad decisions with money. Personally I do not struggle with money/budgeting but the only tim

It's state-facilitated theft from an individual to a $20 billion multinational corporation. Sure he tried to do something bad but he should've been compensated a fair market value for the domain.

The famous little jingle "shave and a haircut, two bits" Most people today have no clue what a "bit" is. I imagine the future will hold something similar for the penny in all the idioms and cultural phrases we have. What

And why wouldn't that be plausible given effectively all available cognitive data support this conclusion? Of course I'm being facetious. I know why. No one wants to ponder that because of the stigma, so everyone puts their head i

I would much rather live in a society that tolerates and shakes off a bit of racism than one that jails people for offensive memes.

You can't police people into not being racist. People have always been racist/xenophobic to some extent and always will be. It's cultural conflict and tribal in nature.

No one proclaimed that. They announced that Tylenol could be linked to neurological development issues, including autism.

Right now seemingly all of Bluesky is in a frenzy trying to insinuate that this killer is somehow a Republican or "MAGA." Or a Groyper. The level of cognitive dissonance when people lock themselves in echo chambers is truly astoni

Are these the same auditors that led to U.S. citizens' tax dollars funding transgender surgery shops in India? Two million dollars to understand the psychological effects of losing rock-paper-scissors? If so I don't put too much s

The only insight I got from reading this is that the author doesn't like the president or his administration. Big whoop.

The Solana trenches are effectively a giant crime-riddled casino. Everyone who plays understands this -- you can make money but you're essentially gambling. I'm not saying this is OK, but it's the current state of things. Whe
