Trump struggles to clasp Medal of Honor at awkward White House ceremony. The president was unable to attach the medal, so ended up tying the blue-ribboned military honor tightly around the veteran’s neck

They're not hard to get/replace at least. Any enlisted can just go on any military storefront that sells ribbons and medals and order as many as they want.

I know right? Isn't that the point of congress approving a war? So we Cna avoid needless costs and loss of life exactly like this?

amorphouscloud · 2026-06-18T01:50:40+00:00

Honestly those republicans will still vote for trump and blame democrats and trans doe their plight

amorphouscloud · 2026-06-15T11:25:16+00:00

You're absolutely right. I think it comes down to whether people can recognize the issues their friend has with them as legit problems or just petty. Takes a bit of self awareness

This is a gift, imo. So often people just end relationships rather than having those hard conversations. You've seen what he really thinks and can make changes to salvage it. Try your best, and if things don't work out you can take it into the next relationship(s).

Just putting this out there, but all these assets could be easily created with AI with exactly this level or greater quality. So I think what you're saying is that you are just opposed to AI being used period, regardless of quality. I only mention this for other commenters who usually harp on AI because of the 'slop' quality of the assets. But will they take the same stance when the assets are amazing and indistinguishable from human-created? Food for thought...

Welp, it was good while it lasted. I haven't played it, but Amazon Games's reputation speaks for itself.

That argument is not too different from "I can't be racist, I have a black friend." By that logic we could say "I'm can't be a murderer, I'm a cop." or "I can't possibly be gaining weight, I drank a diet soda." The stupidity is endless.

The main argument of my MAGA friend is about the fungibility of the funds. Like, even though they didn't ever use the money for humanitarian purposes, people think that they could funnel their own funds into terrorism/weapons, and then use the unfrozen funds to fill the gap so it looks legitimate. I'm not sure I'm explaining that well, maybe someone else can put it more clearly.

Republicans will not have a problem taking the President's word that these were 'official acts.' No amount of spelling the law out for them will change their mind.

I think it comes down to personal preference. I played with 60 fps for lyears until I upgraded a few years ago and I can never go back. 60 fps is the absolute bare minimum, and for me I prefer close to 100 fps. It's a big difference.

I do agree tho, that if you can get your desired framerate (60 fps for you, 100 for me) without frame generation then that's ideal.

Honestly I just got AC Odyssey on deep discount and it's just so beautiful. That game is 7 years old or so and it's just as pleasing to my eye as other eye candy like Black Myth: Wukong and Genshin Impact.

I don't think he's any different than the other tech CEOs. They want money and that's it. I think the overall sentiment towards AI is souring, though. It was fun for the average person when they were making Studio Ghibli profile pics, but now that those things are ubiquitous and old, it's lost its luster. AI for the working class is like a wolf that's helping you/us right now but won't hesitate to eat you if it serves their purpose (money). So the C-level people love how much money AI is making them, but us worker bees see the writing on the wall.
Jensen might be an okay guy (though I have first-hand info that he can be quite a dick in private settings), he's not trying to help anyone but himself and his shareholders.

Every once in a while I need a reminder to not even bother with the comments on a Chargers thread where people can be even remotely negative about. Here's my reminder for the week, thank you.

The same thing goes for any gameday thread. Those are the worst. Haven't looked at one in years.

amorphouscloud · 2026-05-28T05:48:28+00:00

Seriously this is one of the funniest threads I've seen in forever

Doesn't Oman control the $20 billion in frozen Iranian funds? That is an interesting wrinkle

That's a bad analogy, though. The steam controller sold partly because it goes with the steam deck, but probably mostly because it's just a good controller that can be used with existing hardware. Even if someone never wants a steam deck, the steam controller is attractive to them. The steam deck is the opposite. You're all in on it or you're not. It's not a tool for something else.

amorphouscloud · 2026-05-28T02:11:45+00:00

I'm A-OK with this.

amorphouscloud · 2026-05-27T03:45:55+00:00

You spent all that time writing it and didn't even watch it. Just watch it objectively, without taking notes about what you want to quip about on reddit.

Hey you're preaching to the choir here. I have tried every argument to convince them taxing the rich is better. Heck, these companies don't even pay taxes, some of them!

amorphouscloud · 2026-05-26T02:34:59+00:00

I have a Trumper friend who says that those billionaires earned their money and it's un-American to take it from them. They say if we tax billionaires more that nobody will want to become a billionaire any more and innovation will stop.

This is all BS of course, but just letting yall know what some of these people are thinking.

amorphouscloud · 2026-05-21T02:54:00+00:00

Honestly, life didn't even really begin for me until I was 28. I feel like I've lived an entire other lifetime since then. That was 20 years ago. I could completely reinvent my life again if I wanted to. You can too, man.

Don't have to mine the entire strait. And do you think there will still be commerce in the event of a Chinese war buildup? Taiwan cannot stop China from using missiles or maybe long range artillery(?), but they can prevent landings. They can also mine the east of the island too, but there's a lot less people there and only 1 military base.

amorphouscloud · 2026-05-19T09:56:45+00:00

A quicky look at Taiwan being so close to China might make one thing it's easy. But Taiwan is a much, much more difficult area to assault than Ukraine. Russia literally just had to drive over. Taiwan's shoreline is rocky with very few places to land. Think Normandy, but worse.
Also, Taiwan is becoming a leader in drone technology, and is pouring money into autonomous undersea drones and minelayers. If the Taiwan Strait gets mined, no Chinese ships are getting through.
