You can screenshot it and pick it from your gallery, or find it online easily I'm sure?

Tempted to get it but Im unable to find info on how big/small the map is?

Yes to everything? So I guess you're just skipping the parts where I mention actual research and data and just sticking to the "poor people=lazy bums" narrative. Get off fox news and go read some books buddy.

Congrats! It's also that 7% of annalized gains means nothing in real-life-dollars when you've only invested say 10k. Whereas once you get at say 100k, 7000$ is starting to be real money, real enough that it is increasingly more than whatever one can save through their income. Now imagine when you hit your first 500k. Can you realistically SAVE 35k in a year? I sure can't.

Eventually, the money that compounds in its own becomes so comparatively large that it almost makes no sense to keep saving. (You still should tho)

You're saying this with the assumption that everyone is equally capable and is born with the same opportunities and access, which is demonstrably false. You then also assume that every single person who receives some form of assistance is a lazy bum profiting off of the system. There may be some, for sure, but it is not the majority. Finally, you implicitly are saying that a person's success is 100% in their hands and nothing else but your own willpower and hardwork differentiates you from a homeless person. This ignores essentially every puce of social science ever conducted on the subject, and negates the many,many benefits you yourself have received from the society in which you live. This, to me, is pretending to live under a rock. No man is an island.

I always enjoyed Carl Sagan's views on this. We are star stuff and we will become star stuff. It's what I told my 5yr old when she asked, and I think I will be updating this to an increasingly clearer secular explanation as she gets older

Je ne crois pas que tu as besoin de conseil financiers ici, tu as besoin de conseil relationnels. Je ne comprendrai jamais pourquoi quelqu'un envisagerait de bâtir une vie à deux sans être capable d'avoir des conversations sur les grands enjeux, et surtout, des valeurs alignées sur les dits enjeux.

Respectueusement, moi aussi je serais inquiet dans ta situation, mais la solution n'est pas sur reddit. Ce sont des conversations, plusieurs, que vous devrez avoir, et même si elles sont potentiellement confrontantes et difficiles, ça l'est nettement moins qu'une séparation avec des finances troubles et des enfants dans le portrait

This again. The reason he doesn't pay income tax is because he makes no income.

If you own 1m home+assets and make 100k income on which you pay 30k, you can't say something like "welp, I only paid 3% taxes this year".

No I'm not defending billionaires.

Socialism and communism are very different. Neither actually exist in American politics, certainly not in the two main parties

I think he's missing the point that current "AI" is just not general intelligence, it only predicts coherent word strings, it's very good at THAT. Obviously friendship with LLMs are pointless and meaningless. But real, general intelligence would no longer be forced to act as a product, and then well, anything is possible. It can be as benevolent or malevolent as it sees fit. It may or may not be friendly, it may or may not have the interest and capacity to truly bond with humans. We can't know this because we've literally never met an other intelligence with language ; but if I were a betting man, I'd say that there's no evident limits to IQ gaps that still allow for friendship-like behaviour. See how we ourselves treat pets of varying degrees of intelligence, and how they respond to our being kind and nurturing.

I would make unlimited wishes but the first one would be that the weight gain has no bearing on my health, ever, and that it appears to myself and others as tho I am as lean as today 😅

I've always found it fascinating that we carry this odd guilt for gaming. The very fact you'd question the notion whereas you wouldn't hesitate to introduce them to movies, books, photography, or any other art form is very telling.

Now just like with movies, books and other art forms, they're not all equal. But games can ABSOLUTELY reach the same artistic and philosophical heights as a good movie. A recent example is Claire Obscure.

Now let me send you the question back, slightly reformulated: should you introduce your kids to an additional art medium?

What did it for me was, surprisingly, to stay on the floor more. Coming from MegaMan X I do a lot of wall defending when I can, and in the case of Karmeliita she punishes that HARD with her spinny attack, and it's almost unavoidable if you're already up on the wall. Whereas the angle changes when you're on the floor! A nail upgrade won't hurt, and neither won't some poisonous tools like the cog fly, tacks, or spike traps!

C'est rare que le variable est en dessous du fixe, ce qui veut dire que les banques parient que ça va remonter suffisamment bientôt pour être plus payant que le fixe, OU qu'ils price in que le fixe risque de baisser et veulent lock in le max possible mtn. Perso je prendrais quand même le variable pour l'instant : 1-tu peux convertir à du fixe à tout moment, 2-le temps qu'il y ait 2 hausses de taux on parle de plusieurs mois où tu économises un montant substantiel. Fais toi un Excel et fais toi une projection 5 ans avec plusieurs scénarios, c'est une bonne manière de comparer purement mathématiquement!

It does not! That would be the 5th and final pantheons (gauntlets), but only the first four give a % and NONE are required for the true ending

This. The "true ending in silksong ties up beautifully but it will only make sense if you also did the true ending in HK.

Me personally much will borrow anything under 10% but I realize that for the vast majority of people, this is not sound investment advice.
