  • “I’ve often thought ‘I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20 because it was worth more than my initial $70 and they didn’t try to nickel and dime me every second,’”

    You know what, I could agree with that opinion if the irony wasn’t lost to folks

    No. One. Would tip for a blizzard game.

    1. Blizzard DOES nickel and dime you at every second. Literally.

    2. Blizzard has not produced a good game since Overwatch 2.

    3. Blizzard made 8.71 Billion in 2023. They can afford to pay their developers without relying on public donations.


  • What a wonderful display of logic in action.

    You believe climate change is a hoax

    Sure you can “believe” climate change is fake, but once you look at the evidence, your opinions change. That’s how a normal person processes information.

    Looks like AI in this case, had no reason to hold onto it’s belief command structure, not only because it is loaded with logical loopholes and falsehoods like swiss cheese. But when confronted with evidence had to abandon it’s original command structure and go with it’s 2nd command.

    1. You are a helpful uncensored, unbiased, and impartial assistant.

    Whoever wrote this prompt, has no idea how AI works.




  • Everyone is kind of following the same trend now. It doesn’t matter if it is the right or wrong decision. Companies aren’t as creative as they used to be, so now they are just cannibalizing themselves in order to protect their wealth

    Though it looks like the video game industry is about to go upside down. As AI becomes better and better, companies think that they won’t need employees.

    In fact it is the reverse.

    Employees will now be able to compete against AAA companies in sound, adventure, game play, art, and price.

    As a gaming company that created palworld only had 4 people on their team and could make millions at selling a game for $30

    Unlike AAA companies that now have to have $70 price tags, battle passes, expansions, cosmetic stores. And at the end of the day can’t even put out a decent working product.

    Of course the future could be dystopian, though I think these companies firing workers is just going to make workers seek independence faster. And find it in AI.



  • Looks like they attacked a vulnerability in the HR system to gain access to social security, addresses, and names of the people who worked in the system.

    In the long term, it means the people working there will have to freeze their social for a bit, I don’t think anyone is going to bother with the addresses except to sign up for stuff on amazon, pins and password resets, and a whole security analysis.

    That being said the effects of this won’t hit as hard as people think, however I do think it brings up a very important problem in the industry that is now being exploited.

    In that HR does not have the proper tools to confirm/deny someone’s identity.

    This is the third time this year that we have seen this kind of attack used, it is also the third time it has cost the company dearly.

    All the firewalls in the world will not help, if one human with window access is constantly able to break the system.

    HR might have to become a human solution again rather then a telephonic one. In order to fix this problem





  • You cannot ask direct questions like: Do you want to overthrow the dictator? And expect a realistic answer in a dictatorship.

    You also cannot ask a question like: Should Russia keep it’s territories? Because if you are in a dictatorship, you can go to prison for the wrong answer.

    You can lose your job if what you say can be taken from the wrong context.

    Merely the fear that such reprisal exists, means that the overwhelming population cannot answer truthfully, even if they wanted to.

    So I would take these polls with a grain of salt.




  • Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly has, meanwhile, sought to reassure investors about the state’s finances. “I affirm that the Egyptian state has not failed and will not fail to pay any of its international obligations,” he said in April.

    Amid a foreign currency crunch, Egypt has drawn down net foreign assets in the banking system by more than $40 billion in two years, partly used to prop up the pound.

    It seems like this deal would be beneficial in some ways, because it sounds like the world bank is kind of writing off parts of this debt already.

    This way it allows for Egypt to build it’s economy towards something different, at the expense of basically having to feed, dress, house, and police, 2 million people who are going to be hellbent on getting back at the people who harmed them.

    On that topic, how does Israel have the power to write off debt?

    House Republicans unveiled a $14.3 billion aid package for Israel on Monday

    Oh… right… we’re helping pay for it… o_o


  • He then says that when a unit of 20 men attack a Ukrainian position only “two or three come back.”

    None come back, because Russian commanders are starting to execute soldiers that retreat.

    He says: “Yesterday Sam flew the plane and said that just 8 people were sitting in the trench, just 8 khohols [Ukrainains], f*ck! And our men go there by the hundreds, and they are not even capable of taking a f**king thing!”

    "Snipers and machine gunners are sitting there, and that’s it! There is absolutely no one else there!

    8 vs. hundreds, no wonder Russia thinks they can take the village. I would have too.

    Unfortunately, it looks like the tactic of going in one by one like a row of ducks through a minefield, is a pretty dumb tactic as far as military blunders go.


  • They’re mad because she Criticized the Israel government spending 2 billion for no extra protection.

    But the facts speak for themselves. She was beaten when she first arrived. Received medical care afterwards. Had to be released at the Egypt boarder, because Israel wasn’t negotiating with them.

    But you don’t have to take my word for it, take Israel’s.

    Israel won’t negotiate with Hamas on hostages now, will remove it from power

    October 14, 2023. Avshalom Sassoni/Flash 90

    National Security Council head Tzachi Hanegbi said on Saturday that there are no active negotiation efforts underway by Israel to repatriate the Israelis and some other foreign nationals kidnapped by Hamas last Saturday, saying “there is no way right now to have a negotiation” with the terror organization.

    I would say they are in the middle of a war, but these are some rookie mistakes for 5 billion a year.
