  • A confident, average, but nonetheless well-rounded individual with broad interests?

    Seems like the word you’re looking for is ‘normal’.

    Unless there’s some other quality you’re not describing like if they’re unable to admit when they’re wrong or they lie or exaggerate their skills, they seem like a pretty nice person to me who just for whatever reason doesn’t specialize in any one thing, which tbf is far more normal for people than otherwise and frankly far more sociable.

    You seem a bit jealous of and upset at this person judging by your other comments ITT. What do you have against them, other than them ‘liking to pose as an intellectual’ - which I assume just stands for “they like facts”?

    With the quest? Yeah so am i. You very much still have compression. Even at 800mbps bitrate, thats still not the same as a proper display port headset like the Index.

    In fact you very likely don’t see the smear probably because of the blocky JPEG of the image as is, and maybe you’re used to it because you watch a lot of streaming videos rather than high bitrate vids. Not meant as an insult, that’s just the way things are nowadays.





  • Housing prices are everything. We all die. Now or in 50 years barely makes a difference in the grand scheme of things. But imagine dying and your family can’t even grieve because your dead carcass fell behind on rent and was tossed out in the trash by your slumlord to get in an Indian family of 6 for twice the rent in your tiny attic. That’s life.

    I am trans and people have threatened to murder me for my existence before I started passing. In both my country of origin and my current country of residence there’s a concentrated institutional effort to effectively extinct people like me from public existence by various forms of lawfare and propagandistic fearmongering.

    Don’t get me wrong, the rightoids will come for me, and after that, they will come for you, too, that’s just conservatism for ya, but when they do come, I’d rather meet them in my owned house, filled with guns and ammo, and maybe a nice pet dog by my side that I’d look after and let escape before shit hits the fan, rather than a rented flat I can’t even hang a poster up in without incurring some fine or fee.

    And if they don’t come, a house is an asset, the asset, the only productive one in reach now that businesses aren’t viable anymore thanks to landlord and digital feudal lord wealth extraction - it’s retirement and it’s everything, pensions wont be a thing by when I retire, and trust me being a minority with money is much better than being a minority without.


  • So are you implying that you’d only have kids if you could ensure they’d be bourgeoisie, exploiting others for their own benefits?

    I think the society fixing angle is naive. I sure wasn’t that kid, I don’t know anyone else who is, and now there’s some kids who seem to be doing the opposite.

    “Kindness” is weapons grade copium. Think of it instead like your average CFD bet or any other financial investment - first the fundamentals must be sound, then you invest, not the other way around - you wouldn’t invest in a failing business just in case it could turn around, unless you’re private equity and have other private equity firms lining up for your sucker special suite of bang-em-and-bin-em retirement home joints.

    I’ve never seen hobbit/lord of rings and I don’t watch or care for fantasy. You don’t keep darkness at bay - you stare right into the void and grab it by the balls, then you invest.

    Capitalism’s misaligned incentive model pushing short-term revenue gains made by increasing sales of games through the overuse of upscalers to push graphical fidelity past actual graphical capability of the hardware that isn’t noticeable in promotional material due to video compression leading to dishonest advertising and bad looking games or worse yet - good looking games made to look bad with this AI shortcut instead of R&D bucks spent on actual solutions like adapting the MSAA approach to deferred rendering pipelines of modern game engines and finding solutions for aliasing on specular surfaces and overly small geometry?
