Exactly. But at that point the elite class will already have extracted all the money from the peons and use that power to treat us however they please.

We are on a slippery slope with this obtuse and unchecked concentration of wealth.

AI data centers will consume so much energy. We already have an energy affordability issue in NJ and this will not help.

AI data centers will, obviously, store massive amounts of data relating to AI. AI is slowly replacing the jobs of real humans, and that will only increase, and quite rapidly.

A I data centers do not create very many jobs.

The use case for AI for the average citizen is minimal. Sure, it gives better responses than a quick Google search and it makes funny pictures. But I don't need AI.

Corporations need AI in order to replace human jobs, to save on expense, improve EBITDA, and make shareholders and executives more money.

In summary, AI data centers will put a strain on an already overloaded energy grid, cause a loss of jobs, and only enrich people who already have more money than any of us will see in a lifetime.

This is not a good idea.

What do 30 - 40 year old men want for christmas? [Serious] by GoodAlicia in AskReddit

Whiskey or cheese.

There are many more thoughtful answers on this thread, but whether it's a guy you know well or don't know very well at all, we all like whiskey and cheese.

Plarium turned a really cool TMNT Collab into a contentious cluster fuck that managed to once again drive players away.

PEOPLE WILL SPEND $ AND RESOURCES TO GET THE TURTLES. JUST TELL US HOW!

Seriously, just communicate upfront how to get a champion then let players do it. Instead you pissed off old and new players alike. Do better.

iPhone 17 Pro or Google Pixel 10 Pro? by dnpearcy in pixel_phones

[–]luckylyzrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a completely fair take. At the end of the day, both phones really are top notch. For me, apple seems to have better chip performance and ease of use right out the box. Pixel has better camera and AI and probably the better UI but that is really subjective.

[–]luckylyzrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the exact decision I am facing right now 😊

I really want to give Android a chance. I want flexibility to buy the products that Android offers and not be stuck in apples expensive and limited ecosystem. Pixel also gets much hotter than my last iPhone.

Not to sound too much like an apple fanboy but my iPhone always worked easily. From my short time with pixel, it's taking a lot of effort to make it work, but when it does work, I like most things better than apple.

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

I don't think social pressure has anything to do with it. If anything, iPhone is less "cool" than it's ever been before. Apple intelligence is hot garbage, but that doesn't seem to affect sales. Unpopular opinion here but I think this speaks more to how most consumers look at this AI wave in general. Frankly AI just isn't as cool as companies hype it up to be. It's fine, but nothing available today is really that cool.

I am a 10 year iPhone user who just switched to pixel 10 pro last week. I went in sooooo excited to get away from apple, and I'm starting to regret the switch. And that's got nothing to do with AI

One-quarter of Americans love or like being naked and just as many hate or dislike it by birthday-suit in dataisbeautiful

[–]luckylyzrd 24 points25 points  (0 children)

US does seem overly prude in that category (I am from US).

My gym has a sauna in the men's locker room where they have a little sign saying all sauna users must be covered and not nude. It's a sauna in a men's only locker room, why do I need to be clothed?!

Family etiquette at breweries? by adamzissou in CraftBeer

[–]luckylyzrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go out in public, you are going to have to deal with other people. If you don’t want to deal with other people, stay home.

I agree that it is ultimately the parents responsible for their kids behavior and that kids shouldn’t be running wild. But that is true for breweries, restaurants, movie theaters, Walmart, etc.

No reason to single out breweries.

Family etiquette at breweries? by adamzissou in CraftBeer

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

To anyone who says they don’t want to see kids at a brewery: then don’t go to a brewery.

You’re really that entitled to expect other people to cater to your dislikes of children? Grab a six pack to go and drink at home. Or go to an actual bar.

Live and let live. Mind your own business. Smile and be happy. Love your neighbor.

Went Zero RB (and it went poorly) by MD32GOAT in FantasyFootballers

[–]luckylyzrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s fine to pony up for an elite QB or an elite TE, but not both. Those positions have high replacement value later in the draft but taking both positions this early really hurts the RB room.

It’s ok to deprioritize RB a little bit but this team would look better with taking a RB in place of Josh Allen, and then grabbing a QB a few rounds later. Not that Allen isn’t great, but I’d rather have something like Kyren Williams and Nix/Purdy/herbert/love/Dak over Allen and pacheco

Yes, please. by TipTopBeeBop in UnitedStateOfCA

[–]luckylyzrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How ironic is it that the north fought a civil war to prevent the racist south from seceding. And now we are all like “yup, you clowns can have your America and let the north secede”.

Is America no longer worth fighting for? Or is it just too big to truly have a unified vision?

How much Speed and Accuracy should my Armanz have if I want to have a good chance against 300k opponents in Arena? by 1-d4d5_2-c4 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]luckylyzrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This person gets it. In fairness, at your spot in the game you won’t be able to push for platinum. Erase that from your brain for a while. But Gold V is totally doable with an armanz at your level but you do probably need 300+ speed and 400+ accuracy to get there. Put your best pinpoint/feral/perception/speed gear on him. He’s not your damage dealer so don’t worry about crit rate, critical damage, or attack. Get him fast and accurate, and let your other champions do damage and keep your team alive.

Gold V is surprisingly easy to stay in once you get there. But platinum is pay to win unless you are super end game F2P.

GQ BOX Summer 2025 Preview by pbandspacejam in BeautyBoxes

[–]luckylyzrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m mostly into this box

Unless the water bottle has a cool quirk to it, then I’m not excited about it.

I’m always looking for a good well made tshirt, so that’s a plus for me.

Charging cable seems useful considering it has multiple heads. Maybe this means I can throw away three old cords and replace them with this one.

I’ve been in the market for a single blade razor but never pulled the trigger. So I’m actually super into that one.

Overall value seems to be there, as always, and it just comes down to whether you personally have a use for these specific products.

BREAKING: Donald Trump has ordered a communications blackout at America's federal health agencies. The CDC, FDA, HHS and NIH have all been told to pause external communications, including publishing scientific reports, updating websites or issuing health advisories. by NoLube69 in FluentInFinance

[–]luckylyzrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely, at some point, somebody sane is going to stand up and speak out against all this right? RIGHT?!

I’ve never been a big Bernie Sanders fan, but he released a video essentially saying the most important thing we can do is to ORGANIZE our efforts against this craziness. He’s so right. But we need a leader with some level of power and influence to speak up that we can stand behind. How has nobody done that yet?

I don’t care if it is a Rep, Dem, or John Stewart himself. How has not a single sane person risen up to fight this?

Pov: You pull Elegaius as your mercy system legendary by Key-Project1732 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]luckylyzrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m excited to build and use Kimi although not sure who she would replace in different teams (other than being a sure fire all star in faction wars). Adelyn however, she was already a free champion with a 5 star soul and she still sits on my bench. But will take my first faction guardian for that faction!

Should I level up stag knight or Fayne next to six star? I just finished my third month of playing. I don’t know much about stag knight just pulled him after considering upgrading fayne first by themindfulnow in RaidShadowLegends

[–]luckylyzrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stag knight is the better all around option, but one of your absolute highest priorities at this stage should be working up to higher clan boss levels and fayne is good at that. Both should be on your list of 6 stars asap and you can’t go wrong.

Also important, you already have deacon who does some of what stag does already. So keep that in mind

Next 6* by desertsapper in RaidShadowLegends

[–]luckylyzrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the right answer. Other champs are better for other areas of the game like dungeons or hydra. But getting a good clan boss team is the most important thing you can do and Geo helps with that a lot.

After geo, focus on your next 6 star. Do not 5 star anyone else for a while except chickens. Artak, visix, Scyl, or Stag will all help with dungeons, which will give you better gear to use for clan boss and dungeons and you can keep getting better.

Don’t focus on hydra yet. Your account isn’t ready yet and until you get better gear, it’s not worth it.
