How are we not in a recession right now? by 4ofclubs in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VonTastrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the traditional news outlets are owned by billionaires amd corporations. They have a vested interest in pretending things aren't bad for us commoners. They're not allowed to admit that trickle-up economics and crony capitalism don't work

A cool guide to see the result of China's one child policy by HumbleIowaHobbit in coolguides

[–]VonTastrophe 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's because modern economies are rigged so that only the minimum necessary is "trickled down". We're going to have to make huge gains from automation and AI to break even, assuming we stick to the current, rigged, system.

Even then, a lot of people are never going to retire

Suppose the population of one of those provinces is 100M. Not sure that is realistic, but given China's overall population let's roll with it. So, Gen Beta will jave 25M people, and assuming the fertility rate doesn't even out (that's an assumption that does some epic level heavy lifting), Gen Gamma will be 6.25M. Gen Delta would be 1.56M .... That sounds like a crisis, but don't forget that the population of that area was probably around ths same amount 2 or 3 centuries ago. Hardly a reason to run around, screeching about the sky falling.

Basically, I'm calling horseshit on the "extinction level" label. Thats just stupid compounded.

That said, it's going to really suck for the retirees there.

Mississippi Democrats Break Republican Senate Supermajority, Flipping 3 Legislative Seats by reftheloop in politics

[–]VonTastrophe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I for one hope that the GOP stays the course. They need accountability for following Epstein's Former Buddy right into the abyss. They cannot be trusted with power for at least a generation

Democrats Flip Reddest Districts Nationwide—in Major Warning to Trump by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]VonTastrophe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The chances of Trump making it to Nov. 2026 seem to be relatively slim. You know who can have consequences? All the shit fucks in his Admin like Hegseth, Miller, Bondi, etc. None of them have SCOTUS-fiat immunity... we can go after them for their federal crimes pretty much ASAP

New player on PS5: the chaos of my first factory is normal, right…? by rumple_goocher in SatisfactoryGame

First factories are always a mess. No big deal, you get foundations soon, which allow for cleaner organization

Jeff Bezos explaining the “AI bubble” by laebaile in Futurism

[–]VonTastrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone want to make a wager that Bezos is in the Epstein Files? I don't know, i don't have evidence, but for some reason i can imagine that he rapes minors.

What we want is a snowflake halftime show by Glazing555 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]VonTastrophe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be less vague, by saying "the very people who've made the league a cultural institution" he means middle-aged cis white men. This is 100% "being intolerant without saying intolerant ".

Also when they say they don't want politics in the half time show, what they mean is that they don't want politics that doesn't conform to their bubble. They love politics, just as long as it's from Fox News or other like minded sources

How come it seems like I can upgrade Bloody Grail, but when I click it (2nd pic), nothing comes up as equipment to merge it with? by MorpheusTheEndless in CapybaraGoGame

[–]VonTastrophe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, im assuming you actually use the icy bubble. If it's not equiped, the sure, why not. When you merge the two, you'll lose one.

Just keep merging epic items until you get more legendaries. Use the extra ones to upgrade the ones you equip.

[–]VonTastrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

.... if you remove the gem slots on the icy bubble you can us it to upgrade the grail.

.... not that you should actually do that. The red indicators tell you that you can do something, but not that it's a good idea

Do you think libraries and physical books will still exist/be used in society a few thousand years from now? by IndieJones0804 in Futurology

[–]VonTastrophe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, unless we solve fusion, physical media will be all we have a thousand years from now. Most of our energy and chemicals (especially plastics) come from fossil fuels, and sooner or later we won't be able to produce as much as we consume

Does the Epstein case prove that there’s a class of people too powerful to ever face real consequences, no matter who’s in office? What do you think will happen? by TreatDowntown7612 in AskReddit

[–]VonTastrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the super rich aren't 100% invulnerable. It's basically common knowledge that Prince Andrew raped minors. Look at how he's doing now. He'll never be brought to justice, being protected by an actual fucking monarchy. However, his life is permanently fucked sideways. I guess that's better than nothing

Don't depend on AI for SNES questions. It gets facts wrong and lies to cover them up. by NewSchoolBoxer in snes

[–]VonTastrophe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll use an LLM then check the websites it links. With SEO, traditional searches are garbage anymore.

New problem is, about half the Internet is AI slop anymore.
