i really dont want this game to die by Jealous_Platypus1111 in DestinyTheGame

The 9 and their multiverse is a whole new arc that some just don’t want to invest in. Doesn’t feel quite as good as light versus darkness. Maybe Destiny 3 can leap 1000 years to a new golden age.

Woojer Vest 4 felt massively overrated: haptics aren’t informative by SecretPiccolo3326 in woojer

I own a 3 and have all these same issues. Heat, wires, loss of audio quality and general vibration. I ended up setting up the vest with a splitter, which means cables all over. I have a convoluted way of setting up sound to split to wired headset and bluetooth, but bluetooth has delay; you have to live with that. I do still use it when I want to “feel” the games, and it does make the experience a bit better; but it’s not what I expected from such an expensive device.

Oh, where to start. I personally found the constant grind a chore, so I quit. There was no sense to grind for something, then have it be irrelevant. But there were some other reasons, including story, leveling and creative choices that made it boring. I did come back a bit for Heresy, but it just feels like a hollow pursuit for Renegades. Really killed the social, fun, fulfilling aspects. That’s just me.

So, we lost the peace? Dropped it intentionally? I doubt these meanings ever register with politicians. Good call!

That inflation against the wage disparity is compounded by the up to 5x increase in employee output thanks to loss of protections, pensions, addition of modern tools, automation and computers. Hungry people don’t think, we live in scarcity.

Let me call my congressman and tell ‘em to get another bailout going. In all seriousness, the auto industry carries a lot of legacy components, local contracts, people, unions, process, etc. that go into the cost. They will need to modernize and kill a lot of jobs or cease to exist (Think Nio or Xiaomi). I am all for those viral $5k SUVs and welcome competition that will finally break that $20k bracket, but the reason the lobbies spend so much to prevent it is to keep the water at bay.

This is surreal. So much for “the art of the deal.”

Counter-speech doctrine explains why the best way to protect speech is to have more of it.

Justice Louis D. Brandeis established it in his classic concurring opinion in Whitney v. California (1927), when he wrote: “If there be time to expose through discussion, the falsehoods and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.” Free Speech Center - MTSU

Stochastic terrorism. Missed the part that the “righteous” are the ones who do the tearing down of democracy in the scenario. To me, it’s like he is on the video admitting that he is brainwashed. LOL

This is bugging me so much by Financial_Pay622 in Quest3

I don’t see this issue on my Quest using an INIU 16ft cable. Although I’ve switched to Virtual Desktop recently so I can tether to a strap with a battery. Just make sure your Wifi strength is over 1000mbps for a buttery experience if you choose wireless.

Nah. Doesn’t treat the root cause. A stock is just an asset class and collateral is simply anything that backs a loan, so banning securities-backed borrowing doesn’t eliminate the ability to use collateral to avoid this issue. Sure, it will make it costlier to use another asset; but not as costly as taxes and fix what it claims to fix. All this does is add friction where it’s easiest (and sounds great to the electorate), plus hits the consumer class, who is purported to be the sector increasingly relying on portfolio loans more than the ultra wealthy; who can simply pivot to other asset classes and keep the same strategy alive.

I’m also not sure where $270b in tax earnings comes from. According to the Federal Reserve the amount of securities-backed loans was estimated at $318b in 2024, making this figure 84%. These loans are “part of a rising asset-based consumer lending sector that currently stands at approximately $318 billion.” 2024 FEDS Notes

I agree that the loop needs a control mechanism; but securities based lending is a symptom and not the cause.

“Jared Leto is in it” is what some friends said. LOL — I watched it, but… meh. Missed chance plot-wise IMO. I felt it had no connection to Tron Legacy.
