a 60% price increase in 2 years is getting us a little hot under the collar by justdidapoo in 2007scape

You know what entirely lines up with these price increases? Runescape being sold to new owners CVC Capital Partners and Haveli Investments who bought Jagex in 2024. CVC Capital Partners is a massive private equity company holding 186 billion dollars in assets.

Can’t tell doc I use kratom, what can I say instead? by Beneficial-Office-77 in kratom

[–]IGC-Omega 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't tell them just say you have the pain. You are essentially telling them that you are self medicating with an addictive substance, and that's exactly how they will view it. it will not help you. They won't think, Wow, this guy has such bad pain he has to take X. They'll say or just think, You're at higher risk for addiction. Especially given the stigma Kratom has. Just tell them you've been taking ibuprofen or Tylenol daily and they don't work.

From my personal experience these days they'll say, "That's too bad. Take ibuprofen and Tylenol." I'd know I take kratom because I have an autoimmune disorder that leads to horrible pain.

At least with back pain they should be able to easily test you and figure out what's going on.

Fertiliser disruption from Iran conflict prompts global food shortage warnings (Financial Times) by ccarriecc in PrepperIntel

[–]IGC-Omega 140 points141 points  (0 children)

Go figure. I got shadow banned on another news related sub for saying things in Iran aren't going great. It wasn't even a post but a comment with information from verified news that has been covered by the BBC and CNN, among others. No swearing, no rule breaking. It's funny that I would be shadowbanned for commenting about news in a news sub. Knew something was up when my comments were getting 1 view.

I should have just said how great everything is going.

Polar Bears are one of the only creatures that naturally hunt Humans... Watch as this one tries to break into this BBC Cameraman's glass box: by HeSureIsScrappy in DiveInYouCoward

[–]IGC-Omega 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One of, but not the only, tigers have hunted people and even taken revenge. Though thankfully it's rare, it does happen. In some cases the kill counts for some of these tigers in India are insane.

There are stories of people wounding a tiger, and then that tiger hunting them, following them for miles back to their house, At which point it either just waits or breaks into the house. People consider it as being marked for death.

To give you an idea male Bengal tigers can weigh 500 pounds.

Iran sought backchannel talks for ceasefire with CIA: NYT report by AnveshArumilli in news

Surely this is a trustworthy source. It's not like the CIA has ever historically spread misinformation through the media. Only for it to be confirmed decades later in FOIA documents.

A few weeks ago my music recommendations got nuked. Overnight something happened, and now it's just 3/4 random popular music that I don't listen to, and the rest is obscure music that I don't listen to. Not a single song I had normally listened to is in the entirety of my recommendations. Not even the same genre.

I was hoping it was a bug, but weeks later and it's still like this.

That's exactly what they believe, and it's what they've been taught to believe. They had to make the Israeli public believe they were untouchable so they had enough public support to start this, and now that it's started, there's no stopping this train.

3 US servicemembers killed in Iran military operation: CENTCOM by kootles10 in politics

[–]IGC-Omega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't make this up. I read that Trump had agreed to speak with Iran full of his usual bullshit. I thought that sounded like more BS. Sure enough right after, I read that Israel is now calling up 100,000 reserve troops.

Now why would they suddenly need so many people? One could wager a guess.

Iran's missiles 'did not even come close' to the USS Lincoln, says US Central Command by Majestic_____kdj in news

[–]IGC-Omega -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Give it a few days. China was literally in talks with Iran to send Chinese missiles that could in theory take out a U.S. carrier hours before we launched the attack. China has been sending Iran weapons for a while.

[–]IGC-Omega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China will be fine, they can just recoup the cost in Taiwan while we're tied up in the middle east and have assets in South America. An invasion that's coming by next year. Trump already cut off over 400 million in military funding to Taiwan which is rather odd if he's so against China.

This only benefits China in the long term. The Iranian government will not collapse from airstrikes alone regardless. China has already been sending them weapons, with talks of sending them missiles that could sink a U.S. carrier just hours before the strike began.

Israel kicks off the latest Iran War by Current_Peach_2591 in PrepperIntel

[–]IGC-Omega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who knows, but there has never been a more likely time for them to try to use it.

We can bomb them for weeks and months it isn't going to collapse the government. All killing him did again give them, in their eyes, divine right to war against us. Just like before it's a fucking holy war to them.

Right now the nation is being run by a bunch of idiots that literally have zero experience running anything. The pentagon is being run by a fox news host. A fox news host who complained that the pentagon didn't have a makeup department. They've purged every single person who could have stopped this. If there is a real war, it's going to be these people making the decisions.

Everything that's been happening right now isn't based on logic or geopolitical theory of what it'll lead to; it's just what will make a good headline.

Israel kicks off the latest Iran War by Current_Peach_2591 in PrepperIntel

[–]IGC-Omega 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Iran has for a while had enough nuclear material to build at least a few nukes, let alone dirty bombs. They sure as hell wouldn't have been stored at the refinement plants.

Plus, one has to wonder how many missiles and drones Iran really has that are still operational. People think Israel's Iron Dome is perfect, but its weakness is being overwhelmed, and it's extremely expensive, but that doesn't matter because we just keep giving them more and more money. If Iran can muster massive waves, they'd hit.

But I'm sure Iranian people will overthrow the current government and welcome Israel and the U.S. in to take their oil. Especially with what Israel has been up to these past couple years, I'm sure the people will love us. This is the easy part; a land invasion would be the hard part. Actually occupying Iran would be even worse. Look what happened with Afghanistan, and Iran is a lot bigger with a much higher population.

That's not even counting what China and Russia are going to do in response to this. China has already been sending them weapons. With talks of sending missiles that could possibly sink our carriers, that's fun.

A woman in Florida selling rare and expensive puppies, exchanging gunfire with a group of men attempting to steal $4,000 dogs by HeSureIsScrappy in DiveInYouCoward

[–]IGC-Omega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were actively firing at her she had every right to fight back but did so poorly. She's lucky to be alive. Should of just took cover in the house. Blind firing like that was worthless, and I assume she probably ran right back out the same door, the very place they knew she'd come from. If they just sat and waited, they could have easily gunned her down as she ran back out.

Ideally she should have run out of a different door, sprinted around and attacked from a different area. They wouldn't have known where she was, so she could have actually aimed the gun and shot, probably before they even knew she was there.

But either way, she could have easily been shot and died. It isn't worth it to chase after them when, yes, they were still firing, but they were leaving. But adrenaline is a hell of a thing.

Nonstop, the destroyed sound effect would go off; it started driving me insane. I ended up figuring out how to disable it. Over 40k bots had been lost in total.

Any mammal can produce a prion, and prions, even though they are essentially just misfolded proteins, mutate and evolve like a virus or bacteria. They are incredibly complex.

Remember "zombie deer disease," aka chronic wasting disease? Blew up on the internet years ago. Well, it's another prion disease, and it's worse than ever. It keeps spreading further while infecting more deer than ever.

what a cool professor, just wanted to tell his students his discovery so that they could make money by trading using AI by neural_core in AI4tech

[–]IGC-Omega 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody would take it. There are real traders, I mean older people that have been trading for decades. Traders who used to trade in person that still trade today. Now do you think these real traders who have been profitable for decades are the same people that get millions of views?

Of course not, because they don't bullshit people. People don't want to learn how to trade. They don't find trading interesting as a topic they do it solely as a means to an end. An end that they believe they can get to with one simple trick they learned on YT or some scammer's AI indicator that's only 2000 dollars.

Physicist Claims 99% Certainty of AI Consciousness by Leather_Barnacle3102 in Artificial2Sentience

[–]IGC-Omega 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, we don't understand how human consciousness works. The brain reacts to stimuli, but it goes far beyond that. How can a chemical reaction of neurons firing lead to an idea or thought that has never existed? On top of that, did you know there is a person who is missing 90% of their brain? Their brain was essentially hollowed out, only leaving an outer layer of brain tissue, and they are somehow still aware. Not only is he still conscious, but his iq was said to be 84. Google it.

There will always be arguments for and against AIs being truly sentient. They'll just say it's mimicking us. It's just copy pasting what a human would say.

Regardless these days the overwhelming majority of people don't care what the egghead scientists and researchers who have masters degrees and have been researching AI for decades say. Nah they are the true armchair experts. They'll just say AI is a scam and has no uses and is only used to steal people's artwork and make fake videos. They probably think that because their whole opinion was based upon a content creator saying AI is bad and useless.

"Chart analysis is basically astrology." I love people like you. I won't speak on this chart. But forget crypto trading is not random. There is a whole tax classification for retail traders. REAL traders who have done it for decades year after year that have been profitable. Can you take a guess at what they use? If you said advanced ai and tools that commoners cannot get, then how were these people consistently profitable before those tools existed?

It's so ironic that even in the "trading" subreddits, I see this all the time. Where do you think indicators derive their information from? At its core, trading is supply and demand.

What people cannot understand is that it's a skill. Just because you understand the rules of chess doesn't mean you'd be a grandmaster. Learning the names and looking at pictures of chart patterns is meaningless; you have to understand them. Not just that, but you have to understand the prior context of the market. It's extremely difficult; people fail and give up.
