fishy

Unfortunately this is exactly the kind of situation these nuts want to happen. "He was just exercising his rights." He was there to intimidate, harass, and be a nuisance. Probably had wet dreams about some lib with a bat approaching him so he could claim self defense and be a "hero" like that other little bitch a few years back.

If a Democrat showed up to a Trump rally with a gun and a mask the cops would dump mags into them without hesitation.

Yup. Constantly enraged, misinformed and lives in an echo chamber.

Yup, this is why the $80 price tag doesn't bother me. I've got a backlog of games I want to play that I probably already can't finish in my lifetime. This will be $20 a year post release and in two years that $20 will get you all the dlc as well.

Games at that time were cutting edge technology, distribution networks didn't exist, physical units had to make it to stores, etc. The environment isn't the same. Don't get me wrong, I don't think $80 is terribly outrageous in our modern economy but at that price point it has better provide 60+ hours of entertainment. If outer worlds 2 is as good as #1 it's worth $40 tops. I played that game end to end and can't recall a single characters name.

Unfortunately it's only because it directly impacts them, they're still morons. The name latinas for Trump may as well be "bunch of fucking idiots."

The guy selling the car doesn't tell you it runs like a horse, the guy selling you AI is telling you it has reasoning skills. AI absolutely has utility, the guys making it are saying it's utility is nearly limitless because Tesla has demonstrated there's no actual penalty for lying to investors.

That's why I generally introduce myself as a Californian to foreigners, slightly less to be ashamed of.

This is probably the biggest factor for me, outside of my subs all the content it recommends is low effort AI content. "Oh cool a video about this historical thing I'm interested in." Cuts to AI slideshow with bad grammar, pacing and no inflection, click don't suggest videos from this creator. YouTube suggests similar slop from other "creators."

The depressing thing is how often it works

I can just imagine this as a scene in a fallout game. Lonely old rich fuck hidden away for years. You ring the intercom and he's so excited to hear another voice that he invites you in. Starts spewing shit opinions. You eventually realize he could've helped stop the apocalypse but built the bunker and profited instead. Look at all the loot. Inform him he can either become a smear on the wall or caretaker of your new place.

I had an acquaintance ask me about my opinion on crypto a few years ago and I explained it only has the perceived value and is highly volatile as a result, and that all but a few coins were basically rug pulls waiting to happen. He was satisfied with that and moved on. About a year later crypto had roughly doubled in value and he gave me shit about bad advice (it was an opinion not investment advice) and proceeded to move $10k into some coin I'd never heard of. About a month later a mutual friend said the other guy had lost like $8k of his $10k investment. Next time I saw the acquaintance there was no mention of crypto.

"he's playing 5d chess" "That's no rook, that's a cat's turd."
