I remember looking ay the fees a few years ago when developing an application thing

…it’s absurdly expensive. They demand ridiculous amounts of money for even basic things like search suggestions. I don’t get how any service using Google maps can afford doing so

And yet, despite people saying what you say, I still struggle far more than neurotypical people and they can’t understand why

I am diagnosed with both, and do relate to social media posts regarding the combination of both

Maybe part of it is the whole “greatest country on earth” stuff as well. In other words, a lack of humility

In the European countries I’ve lived in, pride like that wasn’t really encouraged. And if you’re too boastful or what not to the point of arrogance, you tend to get the stink eye

And this applies to patriotism as well. Here in Norway for example, despite us having a stronger claim for stuff like “greatest country”, very few people, if any, really feel like being “proud” of one’s own country is something that one should be doing, or it being honorable at all. The best I see is that people enjoy living here and, if they see another Norwegian out there or Norway mentioned, they just get happy to see a fellow Norwegian, just because we are relatively small

Honestly, most Norwegians I’ve met complain about Norway’s problems more often than not lmao, despite, all things considered, you can hardly find better countries to live in, except some other European ones depending on your own preferences

There really is just, no culture of like, arrogance. Something that I feel like is very different to the US with its super heavy emphasis on individual capitalistic success

Maybe that’s a large part of it as well. A consequence of American culture being so extremely individualistic

We’ve gotten very uncomfortably close to a nuclear exchange multiple times in history

The only reason it didn’t happen is pure luck

Until one of them fires the nukes, that is. But sure, it might not happen

It’s like paying your rent by playing Russian roulette

This literally reads like a child’s homework assignment to “write about your hero” lmao

Wanna make a bet?

I want to remind you about all the things people said we were “overreacting about” years ago, how did that turn out in light of recent events?

They’re creating a power vacuum, in other words

But he does have that lack of morality to at least try

It’s always funny to me when people call Linux complicated and in the next sentence say shit like that

As if doing registry edits and group policy stuff is acceptable for basic features and settings

Reddit let trumps subreddit stay up for years, not to mention all the other vile and bigoted places

I do not put much faith in that reddit actually cares about homophobia

And calls for violence has always been selective. Has reddit ever banned anyone for supporting a state to kill people? For example, supporting death penalty, supporting cops shooting people, supporting Ukraine/Russia to kill Russians/Ukrainians, or supporting Israel killing Palestinians?

The whole subject of “calls for violence” has always been biased, because we see state actors being violent as justifiable, but non-state actors as not, so it’s not right to say they don’t support calls for violence, they only don’t support selective ones that they are not entirely clear about. They don’t support the people

If they were on the position to produce it, they would have. I highly doubt they chose to not make high end cards “just because”, especially because that’s where the profit margins would be the highest

I think that you’re simply expecting a bit too much, and a little too far ahead in terms of your requirements. 4K RT 120fps is something that’s just barely starting to get achievable at the absolute highest end, and even then not without compromises

What do you want the geneticists to do? They are educated in their domain, you can’t just plop them into another field

The applications of their work is likely plenty in medicine and bioengineering

I can’t speak for all the officials there, but many of them very much have been directly elected

The Norwegian one for example is the prime minister

Depending on the situation, repetitive shit might be unavoidable

Usually you can solve the issue by using regex, but regex can be difficult to work with as well

This was just a bit over 60 years ago

It’s in living memory

So you unironically think they are worse than Google?

…really? I don’t think you are being serious

Just that it may be radioactive dust this time

And that’s the big thing that worries me. In the last world war, even in an all-out war with no holding back, there was a limited amount of damage that could be done to the world and civilization. Today? We have enough nukes to destroy human civilization a dozen times over.

I appreciate it, but my comment was just as much of a throwaway comment, intentionally so

You’re seeing the US fall into fascism in real time, and this is what you’re concerned about?
