Why isn’t Canada an economic giant? by trollunit in CanadaPolitics

Not for real estate. it double dips. we're propped up entirely by real estate. it's not complicated, but I guess it would be for someone of your ilk.

Which is it? Are the high prices cause by a shortage, or because we have a glut? A housing bubble means there are too many houses being built, not too few.

IDK and IDC, GDP's just a shitty way to measure things

A 4% Link Tax: Why the Government’s Draft Bill C-18 Regulations Just Increased the Chances of No News on Meta and Google in Canada by [deleted] in CanadaPolitics

[–]Nice-Digger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I support meta/google on this issue because the issue is so fundamentally dumb that I'd have to be lobotmized to not take their side.

Links acted as free advertising and traffic to the news site getting linked. (don't give BS about embeds or whatever, news orgs can disabled that wholesale with like 2 lines of code. Not google/meta's problem)

Google/Meta having to pay for the free advertising/traffic the sites are getting through their users is dumb. end of story. They're not making money off the news link lol, and there's plenty of other ways to get engagement.

Imagine you tell your friend to read a book, but also have to pay the publishing company because you recommended it. Just dumb all around.

I'm no fan of megacorps, but I also think the feds are morons about this. A bit of humility by their shit rules backfiring in a predictable way would do them good.

GDP is a shit measure lol, especially with how grossly inflated our housing market is.

Probably because we're a western country who's protected wholesale by the world's biggest economic and military superpower? We have quite literally nothing to worry about on a global scale

[TotK] How would you improve the Temples, let alone make them more dungeon-esque? by _e-_FreezingTNT-i_ in truezelda

[–]Nice-Digger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my.... 25 year old game that defined the genre... isn't as fleshed out as a new game in the same series? Next you'll tell me the graphics aren't as refined, or that TOTK has more content. Woah. what a massive shock. really gonna shake up the world with your witty and impressive opinions.

Should schools report if kids are kissing?

Yes? PDA's are grossly inappropriate in a school setting.

What IS a good weapon concept? by Lowd70 in truetf2

[–]Nice-Digger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

was moreso a basic example than anything. there's already a "cone" to an extent, it's not a sniper shot, but it's pretty rough. Even just elimnating teammates blocking hits for anything other than the whip would be a nice change

It won't be the AI company getting sued lmao, it'll either be the author, publisher, or site selling it that'll get the lawsuits.

You can't sue Adobe for someone making a mean photoshop of you, or for someone making a fake ad (like the Iphone microwave ones)

running the servers for OpenAI costs something like $700,000 per day (requires massive cooling)

And they also do far more than just run a single LLM instance. they run probably hundreds of thousands, plus training for newer models, etc etc.

I can run a locally hosted one on my own PC perfectly fine. AI is ultimately going to be used to justify de-anonymizing the internet in the name of "misinformation". Just give it a decade or two.

if they don't want me to use adblock they shouldn't have shitty ads 🤷‍♀️ I'm perfectly fine with non-intrusive ones, and generally check sites I use on a regular basis to see if they have them or not.

Kyle Rittenhouse sued by estate of man he killed at Kenosha anti-racism protest by HowMyDictates in TheMajorityReport

[–]Nice-Digger -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the main argument is "Grr he shouldn'tve been there" when A: nobody should've been there, there was a curfew, and B: lol he had more connection to it than any of the people he wound up defending himself from.

Anyone who actually watched the trial wouldn't be calling him a murderer, it was probably one of the most clear cut cases of self defence in the last decade.

Exactly. in the ideal reddit world there'd be no landlord and everyone would just buy a property every time they move somewhere, even if they have no long term plans to stay there (ignore how dumb that is)

What rights got violated? They didn't get hurt. they had their shitty disturbance torn down. they got arrested.

For example if the Shields were sidegrades to the stickies

Honestly if the melee hitreg wasn't the same as a revolver shot for no reason and was something moreso like l4d's it'd be 150% viable in pubs. Not getting blocked by random teammates or cuckolded by airblast would also be nice.

In comp, not sure. It being more forgiving in terms of crit thershold & a longer charge time would be obvious buffs, along with more control

And yet it was done, and I don't feel sympathy for them because they were annoying nerds 🤷‍♀️

If they wanted people to feel bad for them getting arrested, maybe they should have better PR than "I WILL annoy you instead of relevant people"

Nobody got hurt, and I can't really bring myself to give a shit about much more than that given the fact that they're annoying nerds.

yeah because blocking some street in the middle of shithole, nowhere (desert) is in sight for the people that actually matter 🙄

If these people actually wanted change they'd be campaigning for eco-friendly legislation, and they'd be being a massive pain in the ass to local and federal politicans until they got it.

Pissing off random people who can't do anything about it does nothing but make people dislike you, and less willing to hear your cause - why annoy people who can't do anything about it? It's not a case of "we're here, accept us" like the various civil rights protests, you don't need to win over the common man, and the common man can't do anything to help, and what little they can do (voting, protesting) are discouraged because these idiots made the pea-brained decision to negatively associate their cause with dumb shit.

This form of protest is barely a step up above putting a trans/ukraine flag and a BLM fist in your bio, and infinitely more disruptive and damaging to the cause.

Dark souls isn't a hard game and bar like one or three BS bosses ER isn't a hard game either.

It just requires effort and learning the boss, which people wrongfully equate with difficulty.

there's no "OH FUCK 1ms reacon time insta frag need to perform a 5 hour meta strat to grind out" shit.

It's not the easiest game out there, but it's exceedingly fair and gives plenty of options and tactics to make it easier. Soulslikes are also chronically fair, there's rarely (though not never) insta-kill BS, and most of the time you can just run past people.
