I spend $12 on a movie ticket. I watch for 2 hours. $6/hr entertainment, maybe a little less if I think about the movie after I leave, maybe a lot more if i also buy a popcorn.

I spend $30 on a game for sale on steam. I play it for 100 hours over the course of 4-5 weeks. $0.30/hr entertainment.

Just the value math alone checks out, regardless of the fact that the video game is a more interactive and interesting experience compared to the vomit that Hollywood spits out these days.

Noooo wayyyyy, I thought he was a corrupt nazi who was stealing the Ukrainian people’s resources and had to be stopped???¿‽?

Also, this is a PSA that you should sharpen your shovel. Makes digging way easier.

A shovel with the sides of it sharpened via angle grinder works wonders for chopping tall weeds too. Swing that mf like a baseball bat.

An honorable commenter, you are. Rare as platinum in this world

Dismisses it only because it makes himself look bad, if it were true that the state he’s in charge of was devolving into gangs of brown people eating pets.

oh, I unfortunately know that every one of those poor bozos would happily do it. It’s really sad that so many people got duped by this whole flow of bullshit

a story as old as time… one person spends their life building an empire, their spoiled brat children immediately tear it down screaming

And all the chuds will still act like he is peak alpha male and come to his defense.

At least one of those elephants isn’t actively trampling and conquering it’s neighbors?

They were pretty cool when they first blew up. Getting them to generate semi useful information wasn’t hard and anything hard factual they would usually avoid answering or defer.

They’ve legitimately gotten worse over time. As user volume has gone up necessitating faster, shallower model responses, and further training on Internet content has resulted in model degradation as it trains on its own output, the models gradually begin to break. They’ve also been pushed harder than they were meant to, to show “improvement” to investors demanding more accurate human like fact responses.

At this point it’s a race to the bottom on a poorly understood technology. Every money sucking corporation latched on to LLM’s like a piglet finding a teat, thinking it was going to be their golden goose to finally eliminate those stupid whiny expensive workers that always ask for annoying unprofitable things like “paid time off” and “healthcare”. In reality they’ve been sold a bill of goods by Sam Altman and the rest of the tech bros currently raking in a few extra hundred billion dollars.

“You can’t just say the word Christmas and expect anything to happen, Maduro.”

“I didn’t say it! I declared it!”

Ehh. They’d make a beeline for every natural resource bearing region inside Russia’s borders. The whole south-western Russian region will turn into a clusterfuck free for all that I doubt they’d want to get involved with, but any mining and oil/gas centers east of the Urals will be priority one.

Empty land is not terribly useful for China right now, although large portions of siberia will likely become arable in the next 50 years. but the dragon is always hungry.

They would, as Russia is only a useful idiot and a link to natural resources for both of those countries.

ok

There’s also a lot of porn

It also burns ridiculously cleaner as it does not have the typical long hydrocarbons and sulfur/metal contaminants that otherwise turn into air pollution. It’s a smart choice in the short term.

It is not an exclusive or. I was not calling America not-genocidal, but the fact that you automatically assumed I said that just because I said something anti-China is very telling.

They sort of bury the lede by only mentioning it once in the tagline. Their consumption is also down because there is a massive widespread shift to using CNG/LNG in industrial vehicles/transport trucks instead of diesel, which is a majority driver of oil consumption in China’s production-based economy.

having a command economy controlled by a one-party state that can literally dictate “ok you’re eco friendly now” is pretty convenient

it’s just, y’know. the rest of the other imperialistic genocide bullshit…
