When babies cry and whine it is very annoying and just disrupts productivity. Therefore people will often alter their behavior when around them to ensure a quiet and productive atmosphere.

I firmly believe that one of the reasons we are where we are is because people have never believed that things could get like this. They truly believed that we would have bread and circuses forever no matter who was in power. (See your local idiot who say stupid ass things like "all politicians are bad so I just don’t bother voting) And they believed that the only thing that would change would be little things that they personally care about (I.E. abortion or their personal taxes going down or the deficit, which most of them don’t know what it is or means yet they bring it up to sound smarter than they are). They did not consider that there was any way the president could do any of the things that Trump has done. This includes Democrats and liberals and even leftists to a certain degree. No one truly believed that somebody could go for such a power grab as the President of the United States. Even now there are people who don’t believe that there’s any way they could lose their right to vote. As Trump is constantly attempting to push through his Save Act which would curtail tens of millions of people’s ability to vote if allowed to be signed into law.

That requirement will apply to any AI company reporting more than $500 million in revenue.

This part right here makes it laughably simple for these companies to circumvent this law considering so many of these companies are operating at a loss. And it would only takes some creative accounting for them to just barely make just not enough to qualify.

You mean Trump’s pump and dump?

Have you seen any of the games that are available on Android and iOS devices for kids to play? They have been priming children for gambling for many many years. The sounds and visuals they use in the way they introduce prizes and features as rewards for playing mini games and various “mystery box” items they can get. They are virtually identical to any and all gambling apps as well as casino slot machines.

God I hope every single one of these motherfuckers loses their shirt, pants, and every goddamn thing they own.

10 bucks says this thing never makes it to market.

I wasn’t able to even find that one. And several of the others. Were you on Amazon or eBay?

Looks pretty cool but a very short list of compatible devices. Also, what they consider “budget options” are not what I would consider “in my price range”. LoL 😂

BAHAHAHAHAH 😂

I think this is post is also about places like France trying to dictate that Muslim women can’t wear hijabs in certain places (namely pools).

Except BYD cars. One of the reasons the US government is so furiously keeping them out is because their technological superiority to all American cars, including Tesla, would destroy the current American car market. All that and they are ridiculously cheaper.

No, Half-Life 2 came out as physical media. The controversy was that you had to have a Steam account to activate the copy. Which, when you think about it, is not a whole heck of a lot different than what’s going on here. But Steam has basically institutionalized the use of a platform to access games rather than simply having a physical copy for yourself. Which is why I’m glad companies like GOG exists.

The major difference here is that this game is a console only game. And typically with major console releases you would be able to take your physical copy and put it on a different machine and play on that instead if you liked. Whereas you can’t do that now. You download this game to your console and that is your copy. It is tied directly to your account. Which is essentially how steam works. Which is why I find it absolutely hilarious that Rockstar is locking out platforms like Steam because of their concerns over people hacking the game and distributing it.

I sincerely hope somebody finds a way to crack it in less than a year. These fucking companies need to get kicked in the balls a couple times.

I just don’t like that style of car.

I just don’t like that so many of them are fucking hatchbacks. I just want a sedan (that isn’t a god damned Tesla).

Ok, don’t buy Volkswagen. Got it.

Also, don’t buy “connected” cars. FFS, if your car features rely on an internet service provided by the manufacturer, you are just begging for these sorts of shenanigans.

They are trying. But there is a downside to everything. Once China has full function to basically replace the manufacturing of processors and memory in Taiwan they no longer have anything holding them back from bombing Taiwan into submission. And several incentives to do so to eliminate their competition. 🫩

I’m actually kicking myself a little bit. I was having some trouble with my processor and decided to get a replacement and I got a one-to-one replacement and I actually should have gotten the absolute limit of what my motherboard was capable of handling. I didn’t do that and now my computer is just shy of being able to run Diablo 4. 😒
