Also there are ultra-popular movies about you.

However they keep messing up how you look on purpose, because since they’ve learned more about you, they think all the made-up bullshit was cooler than the real you.

That’s the same timeframe as the one used in the article, and sure, they could have made it explicit again, but implicitly it makes sense because it’s the one that’s useful for a direct comparison.

Turns out, the implicit timeframe that should be clear after reading the article was the right one, and it’s pretty damning for bitcoin as is. So again, I am not sure what point you want to make.

In French schools that kind of indoctrination would be immediately likened to the Nazi-empowered Vichy government in the 40s.

But you know, the grandchildren of those have brainwashed enough people that they’re already seeing themselves in power right now, so maybe we’ll get that again soon, and a lot worse?

French people, vote today. Please.

The Sims 4 is not quite a fan favorite. It is disappointing that they may be working on it for another 5-10 years

There’s no way what they had in store for Sims 5 would have pleased the fans disappointed by Sims 4.

Sims 4 was already a last minute attempt to correct course of something those fans never asked for. An always online multiplayer skinner box, probably barely simulating anything at all. They only shifted when the terrible SimCity 2013 crashed and burned.

It was too little, too late, Sims 4 at release ended up the most incomplete release a Sims game ever had and even after many updates is still the most boring experience you could have with the series. Even the bugs are not the entertaining kind.

Guaranteed, Sims 5 was going to try more of what Sims 4 was supposed to be.

Even if it’s self-imposed, that still sounds like a terrible idea to me.

If someone complains about buying a finished game and not getting more of it later, they’re idiots and there’s nothing you can do but ignore them.

Publishers that do ultra-early access/roadmaps/live services with promises of content/bug fixes/trust me we’re making the rest of the game later, are clearly to blame for the mess too. They’re the ones poisoning the well.

But plenty of games release in a final state and that’s okay. They have to be firm about it though.

In 2023, Microsoft and Google consumed 48 TWh of electricity (24 TWh each).

Your point?

The data in the article was for one year. This is the same unit.

One of the best joke I saw about that shit was like “Hey, you know how those ancient aliens only seem to help building Egyptian pyramids, pre columbian and Asian temples, Moai, etc…? Only logical conclusion : looks like aliens must really hate white people.”

[De Beers] stating that the economics of lab-grown diamonds for jewelry were not sustainable.

“That’s cheating, we can’t throttle the market of these shiny rocks! The indistinguishable ones you need are still those we’re killing people for!”

I hope one day you can make a perfect gemstone for the cost of a burger, so people just stop caring about them at all.

Capacitive buttons on anything are annoying, they’re unreliable as fuck. They might trigger with the slightest accidental touch, but then they’ll act like your finger doesn’t exist for a dozen pushes.
