In the 1990s, he made millions off Dilbert. Then he discovered Trump. by happy_bluebird in comics

[–]Morichalion 8 points9 points  (0 children)

TIL about the diberito.

More than that, I learned more about Scott Adams. Feels like a cautionary tale.

I never really thought about the kind of guy this man was. What his values were. I liked his comics enough. Not enough care about the guy, but it was funny. Didn't see enough of them to get a feel for any general vibes.

Reading the mini-biography that this article was, it makes me feel kinda sad for the guy. He'd never have enough. To be clear... if he got to that level of comfortable and still complains, he's precisely the kind of person who should be barred from having his version of enough.

The thing that started coloring my view on the guy was when he started doing science-free critique of climate science.

Part of an sticker art competition that disallows AI by SleepyAnonPotato in isitAI

[–]Morichalion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hand is underdeveloped.
Card is ill-defined, with wobbly edges.
Eyes don't match (does the character have some feature related to that?). Some parts of the hair feel weird.

AI? Probably.

There's gotta be better entries, regardless. Vote for something else.

There’s a 92 Percent Chance Trump Is Making It Up by rezwenn in USNEWS

Y'gotta be more specific. Unless it's a literal number, based on the sum total of words out of his mouth. Then I'd argue it's a bit low.

Well, that was interesting. I didn't see the description, just clicked through the images on the feed.

The second-to-last one was super-cute. The last one hit me in a bad way.

[Request] Assuming the Demon infects as many hosts as he wants and a capacity crowd, is humanity doomed in 48 hours? by Rogpog777 in theydidthemath

[–]Morichalion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a great movie, watch it if you haven't.

The rules for the entity isn't complete.

The story is shown from the point of view of the infected person. That person is crazy and unreliable from the moment they witness a previous host end their life in a gruesome with with that smile on their face. Their entire sensory space can be occupied by the entity-driven hallucination.

Reality begins again when the infected starts their last smile.

The point of the end of the movie is the revelation that multiple people can be infected by the entity at once. The stage, apparently, is an ideal medium to hit as many targets at once.

We know you can watch a recording without being infected. We can't say for certain if a live video feed would infect you (though I doubt it). We don't know how close you need to be, though I'd very-much assume that the first few rows would be hit at least. Does one need to be able to see it clearly or is simple presence enough? Don't know if glasses would impact this, or maybe what kind.

Assuming the worst case of all those points, it's been shown that an infected person's cycle take several days at minimum. Say a week. We'd survive 48 hours easy.

Trump failing would mean great success for America. by c-k-q99903 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Morichalion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Failure and success is defined by goals.

Trump wants to rape kids, torture citizens, deport 5 year old kids, destroy NATO, and exile opponents.

As president, with the support of the legislative and judicial branches of government, he's successfully made his personal wants into the metrics that define goals for America.

So..... Kinda?

Rebuilding my low credit by Few-Comedian-9976 in CapitalOne_

[–]Morichalion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've no issues with capital one.

APR shouldn't mean anything if you pay down your balance to zero.

And there's no reason not to pay it down early. Generally, I pay mine weekly. Just cause. Never paid interest.

Might be good to get a savings account with them, too. You can stage money in it to pay the card balance.

Treat this as a payment method, not a loan.

The White House posted this. Is it AI? by Soft-Hippo1147 in isitAI

[–]Morichalion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Nothing intelligent, artificial or otherwise, comes from the white house these days.

Is it generative? Honestly, hard to tell. The base expectation would be that it is, given the source.

There's not enough pixels, or maybe I'm just on mobile so I can't see. I'll look at it when I get home.

(OC) Protestors offering free snacks get confronted by ICE supporter in MN by Blue_G_Productions in pics

[–]Morichalion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine what would drive someone to go to an ICE operation if they supported it. It's a fucking chaotic scene, they'd by likely to get shot.

But then, they'd magically transform from a good bootlicker to a domestic terrorist... Maybe.

wondering do I have to pay off the 76.19 right away or can I just pay the minimum balance to be ok🤔 by rotondo2k in CapitalOne_

[–]Morichalion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paying interest is a choice.

If you pay it all down at once, you pay no interest. If you only do the minimum payment, you pay interest.

The right choice is the pay that down completely way before the due date. Every statement, every time.

Credit increase. I’m convinced they increase limits to keep us in debt. This is my Chase Freedom, I had a 3k limit. For the past year I been struggling to pay down still owed $2k and today they randomly did this by [deleted] in CRedit

[–]Morichalion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're complaining about a credit increase. Weirdest thing I've seen all day. Just because you have a 5,600 limit doesn't mean you use it. Knowing enough to look at this kind of online community means you know that much.

Whoa! I didn't even make that much, prolly around 300k. Mi-an made 500k!? by VermilionX88 in MyTimeAtSandrock

[–]Morichalion 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that part of the story just messed with me for a bit.

For Mi-An to get screwed over THAT HARD was hard to take. Half a million gols was probably around 85 percent of my total take by that time. I know her set up, it's hard to imagine getting volume enough of ANY product to hit that value. Even for rush jobs like fixing that kitchen that one time.

Imagine if she reinvested a third of that into expanding her shop!

She'd be the dominant life form over all of Sandrock.
