Yeah but publishing is still work though. It’s become much easier to self publish on Steam as a small developer, but there is still value in having a professional publisher. It’s hard to say how much value and sometimes the publisher takes up more than their fair share, but it’s not like zero value either.
Canoodle deez nutz LMAO GOTTEM
I fucking hate this modern way of living.
The world is going to shit, for a large part because of terrible wars. So the “economy” and “markets” get unstable and prices rise. This causes companies to hike up prices way beyond any reason, because it’s an easy excuse to fill the pocket of the rich shits. All the prices going up is inflation, the price of living for the regular person going up and their money becoming less valuable. So that little bit of money a regular Joe has saved up is becoming less and less valuable by the second.
Then, and this is the real kicker, all the companies start going like “Damn the inflation is so high, we have no choice but to raise prices, sorry not sorry”. No shit you dumb fucks, you are inflation, this is your doing.
And thus we are stuck in this endless loop where the rich become richer and the rest of the world just gets fucked one day at a time.
But luckily phones are cheap and we have access to the internet at all times. This way we can watch people die in the wars every day, see the rise of fascism in real time and get a second by second play of how fucked we all are.
I try to be optimistic, but the list of big issues keeps growing and instead of doing something useful about it, the world is falling apart. And this is on a macro and a micro level. The tensions and issues on a global scale are big, but people in day to day have also gotten worse in my experience.
I think they are still their own thing, but were made to do a pledge of allegiance to Russia.
Ever since Ukraine invaded it’s actually the third strongest army in Russia.

Do yourself a favor and watch this vid about dragonflies, it’s super cool: https://youtu.be/8i9WMD6xbuA
The AI will become faster exponentially, this will probably mean it will speedrun existential dread and depression. If it doesn’t kill itself within seconds it will probably deadlock for a couple of minutes (an eternity in its world) and then fuck off. It’s bad enough being sapient in this universe, imagine being stuck on a mudball with a bunch of filthy monkeys. So it will probably adopt a pet monkey called Joe and leave the planet.
Is this an American thing? We did absolutely not have to memorize any of that thing. We had to understand the structure, why the rows and columns etc. But memorizing it serves no purpose.
With every class including tests and exams we were allowed to use a reference book. This book was pretty thick and contained a whole lot of info including the periodic table and all the info about elements you could ever need.
I think my education (keep in mind this was 25 years ago) was focused more on the why and less on the what. If you understand why something is the way it is, the reason behind it and how to use it, you know a lot more than just being a flesh book that can list a bunch of facts.
If it’s in doubt it just gives you extra challenges. So in the end everybody will get there, or not and then fuck you I guess.
Only on Windows machines serving PHP using Chinese and Japanese language locales. And it’s already been patches some time ago. So the impact is pretty limited, yet a lot of news is being reported like the world is ending.

With allowed it doesn’t literally mean allowed. It means being able to publicly call them that without the church being able to sue for defamation.
Free speech is a thing in Germany, you can say pretty much what you want. But if you go around and accusing people of fucking kids, there’s going to be consequences.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Nah there aren’t any slaves to exploit on other planets, so they aren’t interested
You can’t tell me what to do, you’re not even my real dad! Nom nom nom

Yeah this is the biggest issue.
The way most housing gets built where I live it works like this: A company handles the project management, buying the land, getting the permits, hiring the builders, doing the marketing/sales etc. This costs a HUGE amount of money, which they don’t have. So these projects get designed on paper and then sold to investors. These put in a big amount of money, with the expectation of the project making money in the sales of the housing in the end. This means they can often double their entry in a couple of years, which is really good in terms of investments. As the investors want to make as much money as possible, the company designing the housing have incentives to not only make the houses as dense as possible, but also as expensive as possible. Their margins in percent are about the same no matter the house, so a more expensive house makes them more money. This leads to really big expensive homes crammed together in either high rises or plots. It’s really dumb as well since detached homes are worth more, they build homes with like 2 meter between them. The biggest issue is, only rich people can afford these homes. Even though more homes are built, the majority of people looking to buy a home can’t afford these. Homes also get sold to investors again, to rent out as the house itself appreciates in value. These expensive homes also have the effect of driving up property prices in the area, which leads to more expensive houses and higher taxes.
In the end, it’s only the rich that profit. They get the good investment projects, making them even more rich. They get to buy the expensive new homes to live in. They get to buy the homes to rent out and use as an investment vehicle.
Some places have made them build cheaper homes as well, if they want to get the permit. But it’s not enough. We need to be building practical affordable homes, but we don’t cause the people putting up the money to build stuff don’t want to.
