I mean you get to trade one authoritarian government for another, just the other is super densly populated, polluted to all hell, and speaks a language you probably don’t know. I mean, I guess China has their similarities to Silicon Valley, NYC, Chicago, etc.
Oooo
Somehow, a huge amount of people hate thinking. Like it’s painful or like exertion or something. Anything that can just give them what they want is better.
It doesn’t matter if it’s right or wrong. They just want an answer. They don’t want to know why, or how, they want to know now.
It’s the shortcut to knowledge all the ancient parables warned us about. Instead of physically destroying your mind, it stops it from working at all.
Aren’t there supposed to be a whole bunch of 18-25 year olds who don’t have children or long term careers yet?
That’s why old people send them to war, they’re the expendable adults! (/s)
TBH though, it is a little weird I have no idea what that crowd is up to.
I always see that one and think “goddamn they’d kill me because I’d never remember the password after the drugs hit, and the more they hit me the less I’ll be able to focus and remember”
1500 hours in. I’m not even really that good at it
I suck at some of the games I have a lot of time in. But that’s mostly because I learned to stop caring about how good I am, and just enjoyed them.
So I’m not the guy you are replying to, but I work from home. My kid is still young with an 830pm bedtime. 2 hours is easy, 4 hours is possible, 6 hours is too much.
I really only have to drive my kid to school and I usually have groceries delivered, but that’s a luxury I can afford. Splitting the time up with his mother frees up a bunch of extra time (we’re separated). A good chunk of time playing comes from playing something with him too. Pokemon, Minecraft, Lego video games. Sometimes he asks me to play one of the games I’ll tell him a story about, which I’ll oblige if it won’t scare him (for instance Elden Ring and Path of Exile are out, but monster hunter and Helldivers are ok [the Helldivers one I don’t get, you’d think for a kid who thinks aliens and skeletons are terrifying he wouldn’t enjoy that one as much as he does. That one I also didn’t intend to show him, he woke up one night and I was playing it and he thought it was hilarious 🤷♂️]).
I don’t really want to do other things. I’ve been told that it’s a coping mechanism because I was in that unhealthy relationship for 15 years. My personal view is that it’s a coping mechanism of how boring reality is.
As the other comment said, more than a single year. But say you spend 6 hours on a game every Saturday and Sunday. Thats 624 hours right there. If you spend 2 hours every week day, that’s 520 hours (1144 hours). I have about 2000 hours in Path of Exile. It came out in 2013, but I really didn’t start playing it until 2018. But I played it off and on through 2023. Or about 400 hours/year. Throw in 300 hours of monster hunter, 500 hours of elden Ring, and factorio, and some other things sprinkled here and there and you get to the 1144 hours.
But admittedly I’m not always playing. Say I take a 15 minute break every hour. That’s 221 hours I’m not really playing. Add on top of it times I take a break and forget that I left the game running. Add some time playing for days off of work, subtract more for breaks.
The pictures have been deleted
Hahahahahahaha I don’t know if that’s true, but the image it elicits is too much fun.
Lmfao
Yeah, Cloud Console would probably suck less too
Turns out we can make the world a better place
Imma be really shallow for a minute
But for a billionaire who had all his children artificially, he totally could have paid way hotter women to act like his wife and pretend that it is not about the money.
That’s not what that Firefox thing was about at all.
Ok, I can’t imagine blind people able to use a mouse very well. So I also imagine they have a brail keyboard. But does that mean they are set up with speakers and a keyboard and they learn how to navigate a computer really slowly, and that modern webpages are very… Noisy?
What a horrible time to have eyes
Now what they need to do is measure the angular velocity of the outer most objects to more inner based.
A much more localized place to study dark matter would be cool.
I mean, technically, we have a federal republic.
While there is supposed to be a division of powers, because it was combined with the first past the post system, it becomes a split political mess, because the combinatorics virtually guaranteed this outcome at some point.
Additionally, instead of a parliamentary republic, just like Brazil, we have the presidential system, which leads to the same problems you guys got with Bolsanaro. Quite literally everything you hear in the media and by our government regarding democracy is and has been propaganda. States have some democratic processes, but for the large part that’s not even true.
The founding fathers were of course aware of all this. They just figured it was useful while separating from Britain and establishing the country, and over time it would better itself because enlightened individuals would remain in power dedicated towards “the more perfect Republic.”
Obviously that didn’t happen and here we are.
I’m not sure what the goal is here, but it doesn’t sound well thought out
IP cameras more likely. USB Webcams don’t talk over IP.
