Most people identify with gendered language & a binary gender. Like nearly everyone. So when discussing market appeal, it makes sense to discuss it in a gendered way.
Not every game, not all the time. But for a clearly femme coded game in makes sense to optimize towards you target audience
“From Alaska to California”
So like… Alaska & California.
Maybe Oregon and Washington if we are being generous.
I’m convinced (and would place money on) the mechanism for LLMS to start self propagating and maliciously wreck all internet connected devices (read: Our entire society) is via companies trying to offload compute via something very similar to federated learning.
Just put a teeny model on everyone’s device and let it adapt to the user needs and oops skynet
You don’t even really get much equity out of it. If your houses value increases because of the market, so does all the other housing.
Wrong, so very wrong. First you get to keep 30-60% of your payment as principle, as opposed to rent where you keep 0. Second, the mortgage payment stays the same while rent goes up. Even during modest times this makes a noticeable impact but over the last 15 years the effect has been insane. Even just looking at equity your logic is wrong. Assume I buy a house worth $100k (to keep math easy) and pay $0 down. Now assume it doubles in value, the house is worth $200k and the mortgage is worth $100k. You just made $100k or in real growth close to $50k.
If you plan on staying in one spot for 4+ years, buying is essentially always the correct move. Renting gives you the ability to move as you desire but you’re paying in unseen ways.
I get that your argument is basically “You don’t realize how many people 8 billion people is”. My argument is “You don’t realize how big the mississippi is”.
Bringing up 20ft implies you are including the headwaters which is not my argument. I’m referring to downstream.
Even if in theory you managed to dam it - the Mississippi is so large and fast moving it would EASILY find another route. Like there would not be a “bay of Mississippi” or whatever.
would be totally fine with a woman physically assaulting (slapping) a man if he says something bad to her
Yeah well those people are idiots. And also this feels like a strawman. It is obvious that walking away is a lesser action than hitting someone, and it is obvious that walking away would cause the verbal abuse to ‘stop’ in the sense that you would no longer hear it.

If someone is beating on you, you should take the minnimal required action to make the beating stop which normally is just leaving but sometimes can including hitting or stabbing or shooting back.
But you never “get to” hit them just like you never “get to” be rescued from a burning car. It’s not a privilege, it’s a last resort you hope you never need and the day that you do need it is a sad, dark day.

You comparing the mississippi to a lazy river is showing your ignorance lmao
Every person on earth could jump in the mississippi and it would flow anyways.
Standing in the Mississippi won’t dam it
One of them is the “Openly advocates for billionaires” party and the other is the “Discretely advocates for billionaires” party.
I don’t give a fuck and would like to be at my desk as little as possible
I always had this stance and found it weird when people resisted. Your boss’s boss’s boss’s boss is telling you to work half as much? Whether you think that the output is half as good quality or not why the fuck aren’t you JUMPING at the chance to do that.
There are a wide range of conservative opinions that I don’t find problematic. Certainly some are but same can be said for any party. I’m not an “enlightened centrist” guy, certainly the American Republicans/Maga are fucking awful. But that is just one manifestation of a range of policies.
If you can’t differentiate someone that is simply conservative vs someone who is full throated MAGA then that’s more of a political literacy issue YOU have. Someone isn’t evil simply for wanting reduced taxes or less immigration or reduced “sexual positivity”. There are ethical forms of these policies.
And because it’s mandatory on a forum based platform - no, I’m not conservative. Im further left than most of you. I’m just also less emotionally charged.
People are downvoting you but fwiw I think it was an ok joke
A grammatical error in a lazy comic made you extremely mad?
Brother…
But that’s like 25% of the user base D:

Right so do you see how people that don’t have The Correct Opinion would view this as toxic.
I get it. We all hate the right here. You don’t need to lecture me on that. My point is that toxicity mostly emerges from people hating people that don’t have identical opinions as them. Slightly to the right = nazi. Slightly to the left = tankie.
Just chill my guy
Ok, lol.
