Just kinda that guy, ya know?
I think he meant that, even though the most notable supporters of Fascism, the Nazis, had been beaten, tried, and executed, the IDEOLOGY won big in worldwide exposure, which allowed it to fester everywhere.
We can definitely see that in the rise of modern populist Authoritarianism movements.
As George Carlin once said, “In WWII, the Nazis lost, but Fascism won.”
We’re seeing the ramifications of that play out in real time.
Holy shit dude, this is just… profoundly depressing. We’ve truly failed as a society if THIS is how people are trying to cope with things, huh. I’d wish this guy the best with his grief and mourning, but I get the feeling he’d ask ChatGPT what I meant instead of actually accepting it.
Ok, but it isn’t just startups burning money here like there’s no tomorrow - it’s also major industry leaders (Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, Google, Nvidia, etc.) dumping hundreds of billions into infrastructure and development of a tech that has, so far, shown 0 positive returns for anyone and everyone. Everyone involved is pouring in money like it’s going out of style, largely because they see this as a potential pathway to infinite profits down the line, just as long as THEY are the ones to get there first; consequences be damned. WHEN this bubble pops, not IF, it’ll be messy. Extremely messy.
I mean, sure, that’s their plan, but you can only do that so many times before you run out of money, materials, water, or places to build. If ever there was proof that there’s no forward thinking in this tech bubble, this would be it.
Maybe the NEXT update will have Legs™️, for real this time, guys!
Complete delusion. There’s nowhere for them to build this kind of thing, no municipality with the infrastructure to support it, and the cost would be in the hundreds of billions of dollars just to APPROXIMATE building it. This is just more billionaire propaganda to normalize the technology and the data centers when they “”“tone it down”" to an actually realistically achievable scale.
Bait used to be believable SMH my head.
Uh huh, sure, a “”“coding error”“” deleted 3 sections of the founding piece of legislation of this country. Yup. Definitely a “”“coding error”“”, and not something more sinister, like an overly enthusiastic and explicitly cruel administration hellbent on crushing the citizens. DEFINITELY.
Yup. If you have money you can AFFORD TO BURN, go ahead and short to your heart’s content. Otherwise, stay clear and hedge your bets.
How many does this make now, 6? 7? I lost track after Covid broke my understanding of time and space.

Absolutely correct. Modern Paper Mario is more about the spectacle of the story, rather than the way it’s mechanically explored. They peaked with TTYD, had a weird one with Super, and the rest have been “use this gimmick in VERY SPECIFIC WAYS to explore OUR story how WE want you to.”
This isn’t to say modern Paper Mario games are bad, just that it’s blatantly obvious they threw out mechanical complexity and deeper narrative tones in favor of “watch this big thing explode, ooh pretty colors :DDD!!!” Sticker Star is definitely the worst of them though.
I really hope we get another Paper Mario game that FEELS like a true Paper Mario RPG. TTYD Remastered is incredible, and I think that by making it, Nintendo acknowledged that fans just… really don’t care for modern Paper Mario as it is.
Shit you right, that’s volume.
Fuck off Fascist bootlicker.
Bruh wtf. It would’ve cost you $0.00 to not be a weird dork with his mind in the gutter in this comment section. Be better next time.
Motherfucker I don’t give a fuck whether you’re a professional artist or a literal child drawing the most dogshit scribbles imaginable, I STILL prefer that over the most refined AI Slop that could possibly be generated. Its not ABOUT the technical skill on display, it’s about the sheer fact that YOU, a REAL, PHYSICAL PERSON, picked up the tools and decided to TRY. That alone is what’s worthy of commendation, not the fact that AI can shit out generically hot anime waifus in .0032 seconds.
Or you could pick up a pencil and put it to paper, actually expressing what’s in your soul through your own efforts. I know which one I’d prefer to look at.
Also, saying AI “Democratizes art” ignores several million years of people making art with whatever was on hand, whether that be 3D modeling software, or charcoal on a cave wall. Art has always been Democratic and Free; AI, notably, isn’t.
CLEARLY the intensifying hurricanes and rising water levels are the work of THE WOKE LEFT and their EVIL WEATHER WEAPONS powered by JEWISH MAGIC SPACE LASERS!!!

Florida is falling apart and sinking into the ocean, and it’s their own damn fault. Insurance is no longer covering storms and flooding because both are getting SO common and SO extreme that by the time they’ve finalized payment for one case, the same party has filed 3 more. This is further exasperated by the rampant suburban sprawl Florida is known for, as they bulldozed and developed the coastal flood zones (read: the everglades, the swamps, the coves and inlets, all the little islands and water features that help mitigate storm damage) in order to build more fucking McMansion neighborhoods for retiring Boomers, only for them to get washed away in the next storm. Add on to this an openly Fascist and anti-urban development/public infrastructure (except highways, always more money for highways! Just one more lane bro, we promise!) government, and you get Modern Florida.
Honestly, the best thing that could happen for Florida is if everyone left it, and they ceded it back to the wildlife. We failed, give it up, and move on.
~~Its ok ~~ It’s EXPECTED to beat your wife, how dare she get uppity??? /s
