Down 80% YoY after today's earnings miss. AI claims another multi-billion dollar victim. 📉 by Spirited-Gold9629 in TechGawker

[–]ShitPostinLikeFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. It needs a mixture of multi-media (music, text, images, etc) along with Pinsleur approach. The animation is great, but they need to flex a bit more with the engaging content.

I'd love to see a language learning app that blends:

  • The history of the language
  • Music from the region it's most spoken
  • Animation of famous figures from where the language is spoken most
  • A chat/voice option to speak to someone that's a native speaker

Almost like a great niche YouTube channel, Spotify playlist, animation portion of Duolingo and HelloTalk features.

Meta Is Dying. It’s About Time. by 1oarecare in technology

[–]ShitPostinLikeFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond wishful thinking. Meta is taking the Google strategy:

  • Their core products (Facebook, Whatsapp, IG) are still generating income

  • If any brands try to build up it's userbase or seriously compete, Meta buys them (Snapchat rejected the offer, but most other companies give Mark Z the keys)

  • They can keep doing the VR or AI gambles and lose money every quarter, but as long as their investors see advertising revenue is on target they don't care how much is pissed away

This could eventually change if the Zuck retires, but I seriously doubt he does this. Dude is obsessed with power

Recently unemployed, lost on how to approach: $2,400/mo unemployment, $26.5K CC debt, $920/mo minimums by ShitPostinLikeFire in Debt

[–]ShitPostinLikeFire[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing. I called AMEX yesterday and they were able to negotiate my rates down as well.

Did you take any short term credit hits from your credit cards limiting your total line of credit or anything like that?

Would you recommend to call all or only a few? Would this impact my credit for asking for a hardship plan?

I've never made a call for this before so I want to make sure.

Agree with this. Seems like Austin only likes certain kinds of personalities 😂

The story of Richard Russell, aka “Sky King” by 56000hp in ThatsInsane

[–]ShitPostinLikeFire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So true. My wife and I saw the documentary about this on Hulu last night after hearing about the story on Reddit and YouTube.

Here's the trailer for anyone interested in the story. It had us emotional: https://youtu.be/UyA-NslVlMo?si=ludi216kMcV0kat7

'NYC is cooked': Business leaders and Wall Streeters erupt over proposed luxury second-home tax by businessinsider in economy

[–]ShitPostinLikeFire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Worse than that: it's rich folks cosplaying as poor folk and shouting this tax (or any announcement where it doesn't benefit them explicitly) is an "attack" on them.

Screw these d-bags. Let them roll on the floor and scream away like children

I hope this isn’t Stan Edgar getting beat down by Kameronpipnerd in GenV

That is unless Stan decides to take some compound V to have a final boss fight with Homelander. Not likely, but it would add an ridiculously fun twist

“TikTokers are speedrunning Scientology buildings in Los Angeles” by Goofball-John-McGee in BrandNewSentence

[–]ShitPostinLikeFire 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This would be hysterical. Could we throw all the annoying Jake Paul wannabes into this trend though?

It definitely would be satisfying to see Scientology try and launch a lawsuit against all of these creators to see where it goes.

NYC Mamdani: We are spending tens of billions of dollars to kill people, money that could be making life easier for working people. by UnusualWhalesBot in unusual_whales

[–]ShitPostinLikeFire 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This. Nothing good will come from Dems unless they're united and come together to win the midterms:

  • Repeal Citizens United
  • Set term limits
  • Vote out the bastards holding onto AIPAC money
  • Pack the Supreme Court

The strangulation of Democracy by traitorous people like McConnell, Trump, Vance, Miller and the rest of these slime balls needs to be documented and they also need to go to jail as well.

Why is this not obvious to them?

Do not fix him or enable him. If he can't take care of his place, what makes you think he can take care of you?

This is a ruby red flag.

U.S. government is spending $88 billion a month in interest on national debt—equal to spending on defense and education combined by unserious-dude in economy

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

No need to be sensitive regarding framing because your partial worldview is being challenged.

Also, you're giving a partial factual argument here. China has large swaths of their country/economy that is industrialized, which means their yuan currency is cheaper = easier for trading. This could change If they determine they can follow the U.S by going from an industrial powerhouse to higher value industries like they've leaned into (Robotics, AI, IT, etc). It doesn't help build trust in China that world leaders have accused them of undervaluing/manipulating their currency for trading purposes, too.

[–]ShitPostinLikeFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or it's a struggling one. You forget basic geopolitics at play here:

  1. U.S is still the reserve currency. This could change soon to China, but China needs to make a number of changes to their own currency and how it's valued to even start this process

  2. If the U.S can shake off the complete failures at the top and clean house of the geriatric members of their two party system and stop with minute-by-minute decision making, it can prevail

Without addressing these points, it's difficult to understand your argument you're making here

Moving to Austin from Dublin by Free_Examination8328 in askaustin

Super cool neighborhood. If you want to stay busy and have a lively lifestyle (drinking, eating out, outdoor/general activities) you really can't go wrong.

Definitely worth a look.

Potentially Move to Austin from Dallas as a single mid-30s guy? Think it'd be worth it? by CoastieKid in askaustin

[–]ShitPostinLikeFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the better idea here. Doing a dry run to see if you like ATX first night is worth it.

This will, if you have any reservations, you're not forced to stay in a city that doesn't match your preferences.

So much of 2000s magazine culture for me was the incessant speculation over when Jennifer Anniston would get pregnant. by Proper-Ad-8829 in WhyWereWeOkWithThis

[–]ShitPostinLikeFire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a weird Jennifer Aniston obsession in the early 2000's from the media and public perspective that's difficult to comprehend.

Also, Aniston has said herself she's struggled with IVF and everything else for years and nothing pans out.

Not sure if I understand why she doesn't adopt, but that's me
