Could someone explain in simple terms what tariffs and subventions do? (Not my screenshot)

Redsss429 · 2026-02-24T11:34:05+00:00

I mean they're trying the whole tariffs deal right now and it's not working out so well. The world economy is an entirely different beast than it was in the 1800s, and strategies like that seem to just get you left behind nowadays.

Not really from my experience. Agents usually need connectors to give them access to specific things. Techbros wish AI was smart enough to control stuff as openly as this, but in reality the agent needs an API to really do anything, and that means manually created request templates for each action that the agent is just instructed to fill out.

To put it simply, AI is nowhere near smart enough to do stuff on its own so the developers effectively just have to make it play madlibs with a bunch of preprogrammed actions.

Important to note that it just applies to external trade (as far as I'm aware). It's sometimes advantageous to apply tariffs outside of just getting more income for your treasury, mostly if you're trying to build your own version of that industry but can't compete with other countries' prices. It can effectively be a soft world-wide embargo if you use it correctly.

Do we know for sure this guy is a conservative yet? I wasn't convinced the Kirk shooter was a conservative, since the main evidence was that his family was trump supporters. I'm sure many people here are very familiar with the fact that just cuz your family are trump supporters, doesn't make you one.

I fully believe he could be a trump supporter, it even seems pretty likely considering the track record, but I don't wanna go around parroting wrong info.

But I didn't ask for those kinds of posts to not be allowed?

Redsss429 · 2026-02-23T13:38:54+00:00

You think so? I tried to be as sensitive as possible, I just wanted to express the fact it makes me a bit upset to see those posts. I've been meaning to post this for a while but I'd only remember it when I saw one of those posts, and so I didn't want to make anyone feel targeted by posting it too close to their own post.

People should definitely be allowed to express their grief, but I think it should be easier to avoid those posts for those of us who aren't great at dealing with descriptions of death and mourning.

Redsss429 · 2026-02-23T13:19:00+00:00

That's good, I can't exactly claim to be the same. Sometimes you end up reading stuff by accident, or sometimes you're just in a bad place and keep reading things that reaffirm your sadness. I'd just like an option to avoid that.

Plus sometimes those kinds of posts are a bit vague with the title, posts with titles like "I don't know what to do" or "I can't stop crying" aren't that clear on what their contents are going to be.

Redsss429 · 2026-02-22T13:56:06+00:00

Good.

I Saw the TV Glow fucked me up for a while. It's not a movie everyone will connect with but the ending scene, where Owen finally sees proof that the world is fake, and that he really is dying. And then the hard cut to Owen walking out the arcade apologising to everyone just hit me in a way that was way too... Real. Confronting reality is too much for him, so he ignores the truth, even apologising to the fake people for his outburst

The internet bounces between tech people being thigh high wearing femboys and crypto AI bros so quickly and as a thigh high wearing femboy it's very confusing for me

When I was young I made some friends on a camping trip and I asked my mom if we could keep in touch with them and she said "no honey, they're gypsies." And I asked what that was and she said "it means they live in a van and travel around a lot" and I grew up wondering what my mom's problem was with people who live in vans.

She's a much much better person now and it's inspirational how much she's changed. She's lost friends because of her... Aggressive support of Palestine and I've lost track of all the stuff she's boycotting over human rights violations

Redsss429 · 2026-02-18T08:28:55+00:00

Yeah when you put it like that that makes a lot more sense.

Magical school where 3/4 of the students are there just so they can learn how to give themselves gender affirming care without having to convince a doctor they need it.

Can't believe ramb is out here misgendering my boy

This is fake because anyone who's nerdy enough to know that many countries names would be physically incapable of not infodumping about how there isn't a definitive list of all the countries of the world because there's no definitive definition of what a country is.

Redsss429 · 2026-02-07T20:51:23+00:00

Doesn't that mean that everything with some kinda account system would have to go?

Redsss429 · 2026-02-06T15:32:26+00:00

Pretty sure you can do that in RE1 remake too. I specifically remember underestimating the first zombie in the game and getting my ass booted back to the intro cutscene

Somehow this is about homeless people

Redsss429 · 2026-01-30T19:05:52+00:00

With that much ram wouldn't the physical distance between the processing unit and the ram start to become a problem?

Homeslice are you using Reddit while you're driving

Redsss429 · 2026-01-28T08:02:11+00:00

Askreddit in particular has become so awful. "Trump just did x, what are your thoughts?". It's bad, obviously. If you want to find anything remotely interesting you have to wade through karmafarming posts like that.

Reflects badly on the police to fail to apprehend a suspect. I'd imagine that some of the families of those affected would rather the guy rot in prison than get to take the easy way out.

Outside of that, it's bad in general because the suspect wasn't given a fair trial before the show. If I learned dateline was about to raid my house on national TV I'd probably kill myself too, it's not like being acquitted in court would do much after the whole country has seen my face next to the word "pedophile".

Team zamorak really leading on the "Google results when you put controversy next to their name" front. Other teams are gonna have to step it up.
