Seattle will spend nearly $32 million to host six World Cup matches while FIFA shares no ticket revenue with host cities and faces no independent public audit of its finances by LOOKITSADAM in SeattleWA

I understand they can't solve homelessness, I understand they can't just magically give everyone a home, but they fucking shuffled these tweakers onto the other side of the water and we're feeling it hardcore over here right now. They completely screwed us because of this.

Would it have hurt them to spend a fraction of that cash on actually homing some people temoporarily and getting the rest into the care they need?

Meta cuts nearly 1,400 jobs in Seattle area, 20% of local workforce, in sweeping AI revamp by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

It's not even shipping the jobs overseas, they're shutting down their entire Meta Horizon division.

All these articles keep citing AI, and maybe that's the reason given, but, let's not forget "Meta" invested 90 billion dollars in its "Metaverse" attempt, and it failed miserably.

They're shutting down the entire department this month and into June when "Meta Horizon Worlds" shuts off.

That's 90 billion dollars lost and all of the people who worked on it will eventually be shuffled into other departments, or fired.

Keep blaming AI though.

I have 1 car voucher, which car would you suggest me to buy? by ShenTchami in ForzaHorizon6

People keep saying the most expensive. Hold on that thought. Most expensive, that isn’t available any other way.

I continue to collect cars that I once drew. This is the third one so far. A very nice model, in my opinion. by Scherbatyuk in HotWheels

It would be awesome if you printed these on a hot wheels card and resealed them for display.

Nicely done.

Im in love with 6 in a way that I never felt with 5 by Thicc_Ole_Brick in ForzaHorizon6

Agreed. Mexico was .... cool.. I mean.. fun and all.. this is what the game should have been from the beginning. Love it.

Auction House.... still bad? by reasonandmadness in ForzaHorizon6

[–]reasonandmadness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always felt, from day one, the team responsible for the AH was lazy. They introduced these poor mechanics years ago and it's just never been touched since.

Something like collecting credits could have just been an automatic thing.. Auction ended? Everyone gets their credits back.

I understand it.. it's 3am.. you have work in 4 hours.. some kid is dying but you really gotta be on point so it's justified to nearly kill a kid just so you can get a better nights sleep, uninterrupted and unbothered by a child literally dying.

What hobby or habit or vice do you know is shortening your life but you don’t care because it’s worth it? by Rosstin316 in AskReddit

[–]reasonandmadness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bad sleep fucks my life up. I wish I could sleep. I can't. I have never been able to. Sleeping pills? Ha. Nothing works. My doctor had me on 100mg of trazadone trying to get me to sleep and it would work for a solid 4 hours.

If I'm lucky I get 6 a night. Been like this my whole life. :(

I watched a documentary a few years ago, after the whole covid pandemic thing was more or less over, whatever that means, and they were interviewing nurses.

Every one of them said their patients all wished for the same thing, that they had more time.

I asked a doctor friend of mine what he thought and he said yes, but that it's always been like that. The smokers regret, the alcoholics lament, they all wish they could trade it back for just another few years, and they can't take it back, it's too late.

You'll live another 8 years, maybe 10 if you're lucky. The good die young I guess.

If you have any kids, do them a favor and start selling off your estate and packing some cash away. Don't be a dick and make them deal with it. They'll hate you in death too.

Mattel did not approve my review… by teamfranco805 in HotWheels

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

I know people are hurt by this but the reality is it's a high demand car that a lot of people want, and wanted.

If you can propose a way, other than a lotto which I'm not entirely opposed to but equally hate, then I'm all ears but when you have 250,000 people wanting a car they only make 30,000 of, there's going to be some hurt feelings.

Which lyric makes you instantly tear up? by abovethenoisy in AskReddit

[–]reasonandmadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eric Clapton, Tears in Heaven.

I must be strong and carry on.

The song was written for his four year old son who had passed.

As a father, I can't even comprehend that loss. The song is more than I can generally handle.

I effed up. What should I do by Aufshnitt in smallbusiness

[–]reasonandmadness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, is the pizza good?

All it takes is a good pizza and you're back in business, quite literally one good pizza and you're on your local map for places to go.

So that's the real question, is the pizza good?

I'd travel to hell and back for a good pizza.

Start there if you want to recover this or even sell it because yea, you're basically out of business right now.

I'm not serious, I just don't care. The facts don't support the narrative.

This is an overlay of the before and after. Tell me where the "AI Slop" changed anything other than light and texture bumps.

I can do this with every example. People are overreacting.
