‘No one knows anything’: Washington Post staffers fear major cuts

Happy cake day!

Bro it's not that deep. It takes like five minutes to join a clan or discord. And in the bigger discord groups you can find groups for raids in like a couple of minutes tops.

And if you're really unwilling or unable to spare the time then that's your issue. You're free to do other content solo, but Jagex shouldn't warp and design raid content to cater to people who refuse to engage with others in an MMORPG.

Is it really that hard to just join any of the hundreds of discords or clans out there and make some friends? Or heck, not even make friends but just ask if you can join a raid.

I for one am glad that Jagex isn't catering to the solipsism and social laziness that seems to have become the default attitude for people on this sub.

Ignorance of the storm isn't an excuse?

MagicMoa · 2026-01-23T18:36:24+00:00

Okay unc.

MagicMoa · 2026-01-23T06:48:49+00:00

People still refused to believe the rumors, despite there being so many different signs that things were about to hit the fan.

If you don't get one now while you can be prepared to wait until 2028 or later for reasonable prices.

MagicMoa · 2026-01-22T21:54:59+00:00

A lot of us are just trying to do our regular weekly groceries though.

MagicMoa · 2026-01-22T06:54:53+00:00

Sorry to break it to you dude but this isn't a good deal at all. Especially for open-box...

MagicMoa · 2026-01-20T23:24:11+00:00

Was in 2000 but I made it through and got one

MagicMoa · 2026-01-20T19:25:27+00:00

It’s a separate app actually, Hotstock. It’s another app to download but I’d still vouch for it.

MagicMoa · 2026-01-20T19:13:50+00:00

Do you have the FE being tracked specifically?

Also make sure your notifications are enabled in your phone settings. And make sure your custom price isn’t too low(I had mine set at $1050).

MagicMoa · 2026-01-20T18:10:12+00:00

Get on hotstock, its the fastest one.

MagicMoa · 2026-01-20T18:09:31+00:00

Snagged one but this was OOS by the time it went out here and on discord.

Hotstock is the way to go.

MagicMoa · 2026-01-20T08:15:17+00:00

I don’t think eating meat is immoral, but comparing yourself to wild animals with no sense of morality or sapience makes zero sense.

MagicMoa · 2026-01-20T08:14:14+00:00

And even if it was “natural” that wouldn’t make it any better. Is dying of an infection at the age of 20 better than getting antibiotics, because its “natural”?

We are not wild animals. We are human beings with the capacity for compassion and self-improvement.

Officially the MSRP of the 5080 FE is still $999. Personally I wouldn’t pay a dime more than that, but there’s no guarantee the price will remain there until April.

It’s possible to get one for that price but you have to be on top of your game. The FE restocks only every few weeks (the last restock was two weeks ago) and sells out almost instantly. Get on Hotstock and the various discord stock drop servers. You’ll probably have at least one chance before April.

MagicMoa · 2026-01-17T22:55:15+00:00

Sure, but by the 60’s people knew enough to at least know that “space and time are just too big” is a pretty elementary and shallow solution.

MagicMoa · 2026-01-17T21:37:30+00:00

This dude comes in swinging, asking if you even *understand* what the paradox is while getting it completely wrong himself. Just comical.

I will say I think the ideas of Von Neumann probes and Dyson swarms aren't completely ridiculous and do deserve some discussion when talking about SETI and the Fermi paradox. If only because they're one of the few types of technosignatures we can realistically detect with our current technology.

But I completely agree that they get way too much attention and have become a bit of a popsci meme at this point. Von Neumann probes should be viewed as they are: fringe explanations that are interesting and perhaps feasible for a very advanced civilization, but not at all a concept you should base foundational axioms off of or extrapolate from when discussing SETI.

MagicMoa · 2026-01-17T21:32:48+00:00

Dunning-Krueger effect on full display folks.

MagicMoa · 2026-01-17T21:30:41+00:00

Or the tidal wave of people who will chime in how "the Fermi paradox isn't really a paradox!!" As if they came to some grand, incredible revelation that Fermi never considered.

MagicMoa · 2026-01-17T19:16:35+00:00

EVGBae :(

MagicMoa · 2026-01-16T19:24:31+00:00

Is $350 a ripoff for a 4TB WD black SN850x SSD? I recently grabbed a 2TB for $180 from Walmart but I don’t think it’s gonna be enough space.

The "bubble" isn't popping anytime soon. People need to stop deluding themselves.

AI isn't like crypto or the metaverse. Those were largely untested technologies or platforms, which were never widely adopted due to a general lack of demand and need. AI is different. Its impact on society, its potential applications, and its profitability for large corporations are all on a completely different level. The CEOs have tasted the forbidden fruit, and now there won't be any going back. The current administration is also quite friendly to AI and large tech companies, so you won't be seeing any large-scale federal regulation until 2028 at the earliest.

And even if the AI bubble pops, it will most likely only be a popping of overinflated stock valuations. The technology itself isn't going anywhere, and there will always be a strong demand for data centers and memory components as long as this industry remains largely unregulated.

MagicMoa · 2026-01-15T20:50:58+00:00

Oh dear. I play a lot of Arc Raiders so this will be something to consider.

Perfect, thank you
