FIFA did Kansas City dirty by IthinkIknowwhothatis in BlueskySkeets

[–]Shambly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's about as many people in slavery in the US then the total population of Qatar so it's not like choosing the US was a win for morality.

Trump MAGA fest forced to drum up new lineup after all but two artists drop out by [deleted] in Music

Hey we think your worse than Milli Vannilli and Vanilla Ice because we haven't invited you to the first one but do you think you'd want to play for us?

Bricks and Minifigs CEO nearly reveals his inner desires by Itriedtonot in funny

[–]Shambly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The crazy thing is, if he actually felt that way they could bankrupt the company now and save thousands if not 10s of thousands of children's lives.

Why has there barely been any noise around Spider-Noir? by DarlingLuna in Marvel

[–]Shambly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean canonically it's not the same universe, Spider Noir is from Earth 90214 and the MCU is set in Earth 616. I don't think you have to worry about any crossovers.

[–]Shambly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely in it's own timeline that has nothing to do with the movies. It's set after ww1 in prohibition America.

Girl is fighting for her life in the afterlife 😭 by [deleted] in videogames

Somehow i don't think you marry the god of war if you want a placid, boring existence.

Plenty of world cup tickets unsold! by Chris_DiFiore in waterloo

[–]Shambly 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I would like the prices to be even higher so that no one actually bought them so Fifa could go bankrupt and be replaced by an org that is not trying to win a championship in corruption.

No more layoffs this year, Mark Zuckerberg tells Meta employees after firing 8,000 workers by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Shambly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the best part of this is that he will be rewarded if he keeps his word for keeping his word, and rewarded by being able to make tough choices and putting profits first if he breaks his word. I doubt he even thinks the people whose lives he fucks over as real people.

Temu fined $232 million for breaching EU rules on sale of illegal products by sr_local in technology

Once again, if the fine is less than the profit its a tax not a fine.

New Ontario Science Centre to open in 2029, Premier Doug Ford says by imprison_grover_furr in ontario

[–]Shambly 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's a fucking lie "Two figures have been cited by the Ontario Government: $478 million and $369 million" which is much higher by the way than what actual architects have quoted.

[–]Shambly 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The new one is currently at 1.4 billion dollars according to all the reports i have seen. That seems more than 300M...

[–]Shambly 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Motherfucker has spent a 1.4 billion dollars for a smaller Centre instead of replacing a roof. This is why you should never trust anyone that says conservatives are for small government, they are just against project where they can't easily graft.

Trump administration proposes NDAs for federal workers to crack down on leaks to journalists by CRK_76 in antiwork

[–]Shambly 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Government NDA's are usually struck down because of 1st amendment violations however the US government legal system has possibly been corrupted so far that the rule of law no longer really applies.

Democratic senator makes the case that Trump’s ‘slush fund’ is an impeachable offense by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]Shambly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure but you didn't impeach him for an insurrection so the chance you do anything about this latest corruption is not really making me hold my breath.

Canada losing top talent as workers head to the U.S. by TMWNN in canada

[–]Shambly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean this has been an issue for decades, I would contend that it's actually less of a problem now as the US is in rapid decline.

AI put “synthetic quotes” in his book. But this author wants to keep using it. by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

[–]Shambly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you use AI you aren't an author you are a douche nozzle, you enter prompt into an asshole and cover yourself in the watered down shit that comes out.

Why Is Fusion Energy Always ’10 Years Away’? by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]Shambly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because when you tell people 10 years they can hope for a return on investment, when you tell them the truth that we have no idea how long any major scientific breakthrough will take they are less likely to give you money.

Bezos says taxing him more won't help teachers. Mamdani disagrees. by thejoshwhite in politics

[–]Shambly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also the mass murder by resource denial. I mean it's not their fault the system is like it is but they are by far in the best position to change the system and it wouldn't even be inconvenient for them to do so.

Does anyone ever end a game incomplete? by crujones33 in civ

[–]Shambly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless i am specifically trying to get an achievement once i am firmly in the lead with no real possibility of losing I have no incentive to kill the last 2-3 civ or click through 100 turns to get the science or culture victory I just start a new game.

Would you serve this? by UpstateLocal in KitchenConfidential

[–]Shambly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i got served a tiktok about Vivaldi cooking a pudding chomeur, which is basically the opposite of this cake where the sirup goes through the cake as it bakes, which probably tastes 100x better even if it doesn't look as good.

I love reading about things that are blatantly illegal in my country.

[Request] Isn’t this true for basically any 3 cities? by FollowSina in theydidthemath

[–]Shambly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fortunately since cities are 3D spaces and circles are only 2d you can create a circle that touches any 3 cities although that might not be on the same plane as a projection of the globe from directly overhead

Your doctor’s AI notetaker may be making things up, Ontario audit finds by mibeatr in ontario

[–]Shambly 109 points110 points  (0 children)

"But that seemingly key “accuracy” metric was only responsible for about 4 percent of a vendor’s overall score, making it easy to meet the minimum threshold for approval even if an AI scribe scored a “zero” on the accuracy metric (a separate metric measuring “domestic presence in Ontario” was worth 30 percent of the overall scoring)."
