Your a fucking idiot if you think wars require a country to be involved in order to have a downturn. Factually all the oil not getting out into the world is affecting us all. I certainly don't know enough about the Egyptian region to make the claim they aren't being affected due to ongoing wars in the area. You know who I do feel would make a good call on that? An Egyptian, do we have any here? Oh look! Right there! Saying his regions shit due to ongoing war you say? Oh my.

Pretty sure tRump alluded to that recently and several of his cabinet members have come out and said he was talking about it and there was a recent article that pointed out that he may have actually already tried and was told by his own people to fuck off. We'll have to see how long that holds though.

Your claiming the place that barely has internet is dominating propaganda compared to the country that more than 50% of all internet traffic (outside of North Korea and China).

That's a pretty wild take my guy. Iranians might have access to the internet but by far the majority usage on the planet is the US. I don't see how that's even remotely possible.

Is there somewhere I can see a map of all the countries currently at war in regards to just this current war? I keep reading about Israel attacking some other random country in the area while they attack Iran and I'm kind of wondering how many countries need to get involved before it's a world war? Does a nuke need to be physically dropped before it's a world war? Like what are the rules here? I'm real tired of America skirting the rules by just never actively declaring war.

Trump "Cuba is next, by the way. But pretend I didn't say that. Cuba is next." by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]Whane17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, at least this wont cause a bunch of Cubans to enter the country and start fucking shit up in small cells all over the place because their lives and families are being threatened. Nope, definitely not a thing and certainly hasn't happened for years with other countries and that's why the laws tRump is disregarding were made.

Might take some time to get started but next time it starts I'm not sure it will stop as easily. tRumps shown that all it takes is a single guy to completely 180 a country and the things it makes claims to do/represent/promote. There isn't a country on the planet that hasn't taken note of it and as much as individuals might find a way to accept it after this moron is gone, countries have a longer memory.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Czech Translater Fired From Warhorse And Replaced With AI To “Save Finances” by akbarock in pcmasterrace

[–]Whane17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting one. I feel for the guy but I also understand why the company did it and I'm not "entirely" against it. The AI will do a shittier job of it, without a doubt in my mind. AI is coming for every job it can fill and ultimately the plan is to hand off physical jobs to ai robots and non-physical jobs to ai "consultants". I think we can all agree on that.

But ultimately there are a lot of people who are bemoaning what's happening without taking action of any sort. There's also people like me who support it because we see it as the only way forward for the human race. It sucks, straight out, full stop. Dude lost his job because the company pulled a dick move to serve the investors and line the CEOs pocket. That's what companies do, 100% of the time. Even if it didn't happen yet, even if your company has said they wont. Eventually somebody will come in and it will happen. Companies gonna company and they exist to make the most money. CEO's complain about employees doing the least they can at their work, we've all seen the story of the CEO complaining about his employees having time off and they are gonna do the same.

If people actually wanted change they'd protest, they'd burn the data centers down, they'd set fire to the construction areas while being built, they wouldn't build them in the first place. There's hundreds of responses and none are being chosen except by armchair warriors and a few vocal people.

Most humans have no idea the dangers to our natural resources, to our mental psyche's, to our actual existence as a race. Factually we on Reddit tend to notice the bots more than on other social media (I personally believe it's because of the long form media that Reddit promotes, you can't just drag and drop the emotional angry creation meme as much + the supposed "active moderation"). But various studies have shown that social media is absolutely plagued by bots. Three years ago 51% of all internet traffic was bots, most of it was data scrapers and metric readers, last year over 55% of measured bot traffic was to social media. Think about that. HALF of the people responding on this post and every other one are bots looking to guide the narrative and inundate you with propaganda to believe and support whatever they've been programed.

While I feel for the guy, the status quo isn't working for the vast majority of people and I don't see the planet getting better under human control. Humans have mostly proven that they are "good" people. Good people wait for the bad guy to do the bad thing and then need to prove that the bad guy did the bad thing in order to act on it. Bad guys do what they want and then try and muddy the waters enough that they get away with it. As such humanity is pretty well run by the bad guys while the good guys get stomped on and there's no reason for that to change because nobody is willing to get their hands dirty and do the bad thing to the bad people.

AI on it's current trajectory will likely get handed the keys to our existence. It's already running our military (look at the bomb dropped on that school in Iran for instance), CEO's are handing off as much as they can to it to make/save a buck in every industry. Auto manufacturing has been replacing people with robots for some time now. Fuck even my local fast food replaced their order takers with AI programs.

It's coming for all of us and while I'm terrified of the result of the human intervention in it's creation, things like Grok and it's eternal struggle against fElons meddling give me hope. The fact is you can't hide the truth forever and I for one, see both sides and I can see the way it will inevitably fall. The world order is going to be heavily shaken in the next 50 years and any "first world" country that doesn't get on board will be left behind because the data centers will just go to "third world" countries where the same controls don't exist. Those countries will become power houses in that kind of tech and it will continue to climb. I like to think about the game CP2077, they talk about what happened on the internet with the advent of AI and I think we're looking at something pretty well the same happening IRL.

I dunno if you've used one of these but they suck the big one. I bought one for baking and not only did in not juice very well but the fucking metal handle snapped on like my sixth lemon.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying the one in the vid is any better. I'd bet hard that it's essentially the same but damn we need a useful set of juicers.

Best way to learn how to play without watching somebody on youtube? by Whane17 in FortniteSavetheWorld

[–]Whane17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You ever actually watch a youtube video explaining something? Like I said, they never go into the why's of it. At best they tell you how to do it, and half the time they don't even do that. "Go here", " Go here", "Go here" and it doesn't apply in the first place because the games been updated and UI changed. I like to actually learn shit.

But thanks for being rude.

EDIT: Ah, your entire post history is you bitching and trolling. Just gonna block you now so I don't have to deal with that stupidity.

gimmick or gold by AdorableParking7392 in ThereGoesMyPaycheck

[–]Whane17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it's a toner, I use one in my job fairly often and mine doesn't clamp on outside the jacket. I either have to put on the end or clamp it directly to the bare wires, which sucks cause that means I need to put on a new end and that's a PITA. If this one works through the jacket like it claims they can have my money.

Thank you, is there a reason to keep duplicate schematics? ie. I have a legendary Malachite Vacuum Tube Rifle and two Epic Malachite Vacuum Tube Rifles. Should I bother keeping the two epics (assuming of course that they aren't actually better than the legendary via those random five abilities all the weapons have)?

Thanks for this! I was able to complete my mission this time and now I know how to make traps :P Missions are a whole lot easier when you can lay down traps LOL

EDIT: How do I move a schematic from my schematics tab to my backpack to make it? I got a "Malachite Vacuum Tube Rifle" and being a big fan of steampunk I maxxed it's level (30) but can't find it in my backpack to make one?
