You still just want to be outraged to be outraged. I DIDNT read past your first sentence because it’s clear that’s all you want to do. Feel free to reply, but I’ll just do the same then too.

if we built public transit

It’s almost like they’re implying it needs expansion and improvements. Maybe if you read past the first sentence without waiting to be immediately outraged, you’d have caught that.

“he has impractical business ideas” is what I assume you’re talking about? I wasn’t asking for a description of Kramer in his entirety, just what made you use him as your yardstick. I can’t find that on the wikipedia page.

And yet you figured it out.

I’m not conversing in good faith? It’s not my job to spoon feed you. But since you apparently need that, here’s the Wikipedia for Cosmo Kramer:

If you had put even a modicum of effort in, you’d have already learned the crucial context. But you didn’t. Instead, you posted asking others to teach you. And yes, now I’m mocking you because you seemed pro-crypto and are demonstratively lazy.

If you don’t know Seinfeld, then why are you commenting in a thread comparing tech to Seinfeld plots? If you have no context, it’s your own fault. It’s like walking into a library and complaining that there are books. You are aware of what’s going on here, right? I worry about you crypto folks sometimes… If this happens to you frequently, you should see a doctor about neurological conditions. Make sure to mention the crypto to them too. I’m sure it’ll help speed up your diagnosis.

Kramer would be completely on board with crypto, which is really the only thing that needs to be said.

People bring up crypto because it is the only use of blockchain that isn’t worse than already established methods. And crypto is only “better” because it’s unregulated and allowed a bunch of scams to be pulled.

Ok, and what about games like Rocket League? It was already wildly popular. And didn’t we get interviews from a few exclusivity deal people saying that in the long run it wasn’t better than just launching on steam?

But yes, I’m glad 2 games got made despite Epics shittiness. Maybe if they built features into their launcher they’d have more. How long did it take them to make a friends list? And last I heard, wasn’t viewing your own library still largely dependent on you knowing what games you already owned?

Yeah, never gonna defend that shitstain of a company. They tried to bully their way in and failed and they deserve it 100000%

Removed by mod

Not even. I’ve bought games on Steam that I forgot I had in Epic because Epic is just that trash. Fuck Epic for trying to start their store by bribing developers for exclusivity on their platform. Bitch ass tactics to begin with and then crying and whining when their mob mentality strong arming didn’t work. Best believe if their shit had worked and they became popular those greedy assholes would be asking a higher percentage once everyone was locked in.

I love these asinine takes. I’ve yet to have a single person come up with a convincing argument about how I helped Trump, but let’s see you give it a shot.

I didn’t vote for Kamala(or Trump, before some braindead moron claims otherwise)

I live in California.

California historically has voted blue for the last ~60 years.

Predictably, Kamala won California by a large margin like any sane person expected.

So how did my vote help Trump? I showed my displeasure with the Democrat Party AND Kamala still got my states electoral votes regardless. So how, exactly, did my vote support Trump?

Or is there actually a shitload of nuance to this issue that you conveniently throw out the window? This is a braindead MAGA level cope.

What do I mean? He sold the same mod as a “Rockstar VR mod” behind his shittly little paywall and then their lawyers had to send him a cease and desist for that. And he whined like a little baby then too. He didn’t learn his lesson then and he hasn’t learned his lesson now because this is a cash grab, not an attempt to break into the industry or anything traditionally respected modders aim for.

Look, just because you’re too retarded to understand he broke laws, doesn’t mean he didn’t break laws.

You don’t own a game. You own a license to use the game. You don’t own the code or the images or the files. End of story. You don’t get to use those files and images to make something else and sell it. The mod wouldn’t work without the game - there’d be nothing to display in VR. When you mod you are directly using the work produced by others and adding in top of that. Modding exists because companies allow it. Part of that allowance is not being a dick, which this modder 100% was. They didn’t even tell him to take it down, just make donations optional and he threw a hissy fit an refused.

Yeah, there’s plenty of nuance. Nuance showing that the modder is a jackass. Should I remind you this modder did THE EXACT SAME thing with Rockstar as well already.

This guy is just a tool trying to make as much money as he can before moving to another game and doing the same, rinse and repeat. He’s a scammer and a grifter.

Fuck him.

Big. Fucking. Deal.

Slinging half assed insults isn’t gonna solve this and people’s obsession with constantly bringing it up like it offends him or his base is retarded.

Yes it was stupid then and it’s just as stupid now when the other side keeps bringing it up.

You realize that was 12 years ago and the only people who still bring this up are liberals acting like it’s some great “gotcha!”, right? Shut the fuck up with the tan suit already. You sound as demented as him. Maybe focus on today. If your best defense against facism is some half-witted comment about 12 years ago, weren’t not gonna win this.

Interest rates are locked in as part of the terms of the lending contract, unless you’re talking about adjustable rate mortgages, which I am not. You’re factually wrong here, sorry.

So you’re saying there’s hope for the US…

/s

Ok, serious question: say that happens and we end up with $1000 for a sandwich type hyperinflation overnight shit. I’m assuming most financial institutions would be in ruins, but assuming they’re not, what happens to people with debts? Like, they can’t increase the amount you owe, so if you owed them $50k for a car loan, and suddenly $50k is the equivalent of a soda, would that make paying off pre inflation debts easier? I’m guessing there’s a big caveat that in that situation most things would not be functioning normally at all anymore.

Like, I’m not trying to be all “hurry up with the downfall of the US!” or anything like that. Just curious how this would play out for individuals. Is there possibly some silver lining for people with large medical debts, for example? Just wondering.

Yeah I get the point. But it doesn’t do anything about breaking those chemicals down or actually removing them. They just build up in the ocean instead. And then eventually you have rivers ON FIRE and you have to create the EPA.

Technically, you could mix 100 “toxic” chemicals into a soup where each one is below its PPM and that would be considered “safe”.

It’s like telling everyone they can only pee a little bit into the pool. Just a little bit won’t hurt, right? But if everyone’s doing it, eventually you have a pool of piss.

And frankly, I don’t trust humans for shit when it comes to long term impacts. We are short-sighted AS FUCK. There is no reason to believe dumping waste into the ocean isn’t eventually going to fuck something up. Oh look, it happened in this very article!

It’s just retarded homeopathy nonsense to think dilution removes the chemical. It’s still there. Just in our oceans now.

“I’m more concerned about someone’s language usage than actual issues”. That’s you, crying like a baby over a word. You sound like a retard.
