I’d rather chill in the spirit world. Maybe spend a few years lost in the fog of lost souls, go hang with Hei Bai, attack some rando’s cause someones been breakin trees, end most nights catching up on some reading at Wan Shi’s library. I’d avoid the face stealer, cause that ones a dick! Probably drop in on Iroh once in a while for an injection of wisdom in my life.
Spirit world is where its at.
The car industry execs should be laughing their heads off at naive bank execs assuming they know more about it than the car execs. Don’t they think the car execs already know what the risk and competitive nature of their own business.
Guess what bankers, this is how you produce positive growth in a real productive industry, and its risky business. Instead the bankers prescription assumes managed decline.
It’s like that new guy at work who constantly tells everyone about ‘hacks’ only they’ve discovered, when everybody already knows about them.
Glad to see someone has mentioned this. Huge gains in time in the day for a huge part of the population.
Everytime i go for a walk i see something new that i haven’t noticed before.
Doing what to casual observater seems like the same thing over and over again, can actually be the process of developing a deeper understanding of the subject area than before, (in this case your local neighbourhood).
An Australian story of Tragedy!
Someone call Mr Squiggle, that red line ain’t very straight!
To paraphrase the post,
We people have always been ignorant, we just keep the receipts now.
I don’t see how what you’re saying is related to the above two comments. But I largely agree with what you’ve said.
Although, i’ve no reason to wish you such a lengthy, or any jail term, and i believe jail, even 50 years, is too soft a punishment for Putin for all he’s done.
Calling someone normal isn’t an insult to the rest of us, its an insult to the person in ‘power’. They have found themselves in a position to make a real difference in this world and acted on their worst, and boringly common, self interested instincts.
You’re right in what you say about the UN, and unfortunately after the military debacles of it’s early years, and the unwillingness to participate in its actions by countries in the pursuit of their own self interests, Russia a notable example, it may go the way of the League.
An exceptionally bad loss of what could be an extremely effective institution in this Century, if countries like my own were to redouble their efforts to support it and recognise it’s importance.
Good water thrown. I only want to add the assesment of authoritarians is too rigid.
They are people, and therefore, just like all of us are fallible and susceptible to great personalities and presentations, like you stated.
The world shouldn’t treat these people as somehow different and apart from the rest of us. It gives them a mystique they don’t deserve. The same can often be said for the famous or wealthy.
I really hope its a jury trial, and they prove to be very useful. Interesting strategy Google went for.
So i just just discovered these communities tonight, but these seem unique and awesome!
Loved it this year! Northern Boys for the win!
Treemix or tribroot band?
I found the whole ‘cake day’ thing on Reddit a bit immature myself, kind of like a stale remnant from the excitement and exuberance of the internet before it was dominated by a few massive companies.
By the time i left reddit my feelings towards those traditions were like yours. They seemed a bit hollow, over-egged.
Times have changed, Lemmy and its user-base are a reaction to the dominant internet campanies. With that i’d hope we can be more thoughtful about building an online experience thats healthy and sober.
To that point, i think marking an anniversary has a certain importance. I’d hope on Lemmy this kind of thing is approached with a more subtle maturity though.
But at the end of the day, what one person takes away from text, and what another person takes away from the same text can be surprisingly different. So maybe I just read all those cake day messages in the wrong light.
You may not be an AI fan, but i strongly suspect you’re an AI space heater.
Wonder if ads actually makes up for the difference or if it’s just under priced to push people towards it.
I reckon you guys are on the right track with your comments. Something to add in relation to why streaming services are introducing an ad tier. Introducing adverts introduces variable pricing for the streaming services. Meaning they can earn the same base rate, but for say the next season of Bridgerton, or one of their other really popular shows they can make a kind of ‘super profit’ by selling the ad space on top of their base rate per subscriber account.
…assic.

whoops, front fell off
I’ve just seen the photos from a friend in Albany, WA. Its outta control
I feel compelled to represent as a moderator of c/perth/westernaustralia over on the Aussie-Zone server.
