You make mostly good points but its stupid to call the game dead or dying. They don’t currently have a bunch of players they never expected to have in the first place. They still sold their product to those people which makes it a huge net win for them. It’s a wildly successful game by any reasonable metric you can choose to evaluate it against.

Honest question, what’s there to be hyped about? I haven’t ever looked into its feature set because it looks like ass. Do people just like the Tesla name or what?

What’s there to learn that isn’t already widely known? Existing (copyright) laws are asinine and all corporations eventually become consumed by greed. That’s America in a nutshell.

Nothing for people who know what DNS is. They’re targeting the people who don’t.

Not if you pirate their software

Many people need access to therapy and can’t get it for various (mostly financial) reasons. That’s a problem. Many others obsessively seek out external factors to blame their shitty behavior on. That’s just a self centered dick head being immature.

Breaking a leg is supposed to be good luck though so I’m sure everything turned out fine, right?

People do hate change. The bigger the change the more they hate it. That’s exactly why Windows to Linux is much worse for them than Windows 10 to Windows 11.

Your grandma probably hates the fact that you did though. There’s a small chance that’s not the case but I’d be shocked if she hadn’t complained about it many times to other people.

Exactly. I would say an MBA is only useful if your undergrad degree was in something other than business. It is meant to add management skills to an already skilled individual. If you don’t have any other skills it’s just an expensive piece of paper that, at least to me, signifies essentially the same thing as being the boss’s son would. You probably aren’t very good at anything but always think you’re the smartest person in the room.

MBAs have no useful skills and yet they run every company in existence.

Assuming it doesn’t evolve the ability to digest human flesh after it eats all the plastic, I think this is great news.

That seems like it would be tough working in vastly different timezones. I guess you don’t have to worry about meetings overlapping nearly as much but you’re basically signing up for 12 hour days everyday. I don’t think that’s worth the effort. EST and PST is about as far apart in time as I’d be willing to go.

My issue is that the field I’m in is specialized enough and I’m visible enough that it would be tough to not get recognized at another company. I’d almost have to work for a direct competitor to my current employer and they all have a lot of employees that used to work at my current company. Getting caught and losing both jobs plus the ability to work at two companies in a fairly niche industry would be pretty shitty.

I never read the sub but I’ve seen the website that is run by (I believe) the same guy. It’s an interesting concept. Needless to say, corporations aren’t thrilled by the idea. They’d rather automate all of our jobs and keep the excess. All the more reason to consider having multiple jobs I suppose.

I’m sure everyone working multiple jobs is not in this situation but I know people who don’t need to work multiple jobs but do anyway. Hell, I’ve considered doing it myself and I make more than enough to support my family on one income. I’m working from home and the nature of my job has me sitting around waiting to answer questions fairly regularly. It would be pretty easy to land another remote gig and stack incomes with the goal of paying off my mortgage early. I haven’t seriously pursued it yet but I might. You never know what the future holds. Having a paid off house changes your income needs in a major way.

How in the fuck did we end up with more words?

It’s not broken. The platform just isn’t meant for real people to communicate with each other anymore. It’s an advertising farm people show up to willingly because it used to be an interesting place.

Current gen AI can’t come close to destroying the economy. It’s the most overhyped technology I’ve ever seen in my life.

The problem is that we don’t all know it. If we did then we wouldn’t have to care about what he says. Despite how obvious it is to most of us, a significant portion of us are unwilling to or incapable of seeing it. I’ve been going back and forth for about 8 years on which is worse and I still haven’t made up my mind.

The US has enough resources that scarcity is already mostly a prioritization problem rather than a supply problem, but for whatever reason we’ve decided we’d rather have billionaires.
