Yeah, but that $250 is a bunch of food, some books, and tacos instead of one ok meal and some mimosas.

Tribalism didn’t end when civilization started. Anyone not in the tribe is lesser, because the alternative would mean your tribe is lesser.

More specific to an iPhone, if you have one, you can do all the social iPhone things like FaceTime. Don’t have one? You can’t FaceTime, so there is a social friction or impediment to socializing. Then there is the “othering” of the green bubble and blue bubble thing. You can’t share photos or videos the same if you don’t have an iPhone. Since we are in a digital age and less physically present, not being able to digitally socialize the same way also inhibits socialization.

All of this is by design. Apple intentionally creates an ecosystem that will excert social pressure on people to buy their products so they can be part of the group like their friends.

I said nice, not great, not fantastic, no premium, not luxurious.

It is nice. It is better than the typical land bastard special:

Mr. Chippy, feet first on PPV… If it were my call.

I don’t want the carbon footprint of that.

The clean joints above the showerhead and in the corner say otherwise.

It looks like a multi spray pattern model.

In America, the cheap ones we get look like this:

They can’t be legitimized, they are kiddie diddlers. They can be composted though.

His adult users already have, for MAPs.

The problem with this meme is the marble tile shower and nice showerhead.

Well, it is a platform for children… That does very little about pedos.

Pirate Software is a such a twat.

He keeps saying he worked at Blizzard, which is factually correct, but he was a game tester and not a dev; a position he got because his dad worked there. He keeps using his time at Blizzard as some sort of support for his “authority” on the game industry.

He has had a game in dev for like 8 years and the code is written poorly or heavily relies on AI(exact notation style used by AI), sometimes both. Any criticism of his code is dismissed by saying that it is part of the ARG for the game and intentionally done.

He tried to gaslight his dad about him not calling on his dad’s birthday by saying he did.

He doesn’t support Stop Killing Games from an anti-consumer standpoint.

He does “developer streams” where he puts code on screen and doesn’t actually do any coding(IMO because he can’t actually code with real competence, based on examples of his code).

He should just put the fries in the bag or pivot his meta.

I’m no expert on the higher capabilities of multistream plugins and whatnot. I don’t think you could include twitch chat with the others if you are doing that sort of thing unless filtering chats to a given platform is an option with one instance. All the same, if you are handling the multistream locally you would want to do a dual PC setup if you are a game streamer. A lot of multistreamers use a relay service to reduce processing power while gaming.

You can multistream everything to everywhere with combined chat, but you have to sanitize the chat so it isn’t apparent that other platforms are combined or which chat is which if they are displayed separately.

As a hustle, you should stream on Kick(10x the payout of Twitch) and then edit the vods into algorithm clips for YouTube and tiktok that would funnel to the Kick. You could multistream everywhere for maximum exposure, but that can get troublesome depending on how active chat is because you need to keep up and Twitch doesn’t allow you to display other chats on screen.

These days it is really hard to get going in streaming and youtube, so you really just need to cast a wide net and really work on refining your content. It takes years to get a decent second income, unless a big streamer reacts to you and then you have to try and keep the new subs without turning away the OGs.

It is like you don’t even care about profits and value the consumer.

Steve-O had a sperm count of 51 million, average is 20-30 million. So that calls into question if nut kicks may be a fertility treatment for men.

Everyone but Steve-O, Wee Man, Preston, and Brandon has kids.

Knoxville has 3, Bam has 1, England has 4, Ehren has 1, and Pontius has 1.

Steve-O had like 2x the average sperm count, but had a vasectomy. He was expecting to find out that he was sterile after all the testicular trauma, but he was hella potent.

There is definitely some test craft and systems that are next gen or early future gen. They need a controllable dead zone for EM to test certain systems before they can test it in real world EM polluted areas.

They probably have labs for development, but most of that stuff is handled by the MIC unless it is so secret that they can’t allow anything to leave the base except for personnel that could be highly vetted and controlled.

Just for testing one aircraft, they need a huge amount of infrastructure and personnel which necessitates a fairly large base. Some of their stuff they would need to tear down to base components to inspect parts after every flight. They need facilities on-site to repair or replace components that probably only exist on that aircraft.

So most of the base may exist and operate just to test one new aircraft that is 10 years away from production or to service something like the X-37 program.

Bottom line is Microsoft wanted to integrate AI now because they know AI will be worthwhile later and not building institutional knowledge of the technology means they will be behind when the technology becomes desirable and useful.

They are trying to sell people on it by coming up with things you can do, because they know that once you have that hammer in your hands, you will hit whatever your whims demand and then you will want a better hammer.

I despise the prevalent use of LLM. That is all off the dome.
