Magic: the Gathering

It’s a sport if it was on ESPN!

I’d like to share your optimism but I think we’re going to be hearing about him for the rest of our lives. Reagan has been cold in the ground for 2 decades and I still hear about his bitch ass all the time

Paprika. The grocery store stuff may as well be red glitter for all its flavor. I go to specialty spice stores to buy a premium paprika so it actually has taste

Agreed, the fediverse is small enough now that living aggregate communities are preferable to dead specific ones. Especially because everyone hates posting something, getting their post removed and being told to go post in another very similar community they didn’t know existed. As you said, if it becomes a problem you can just spin off

Neoliberals are like libertarians. They’re right wing in every way except they’re cool with gay people where libertarians like weed

I appreciate trying to save resources here, but Americans are way too fucking stupid for that to work, amid a myriad of other issues I see with this

How long it lasts as a usable token of trade

So it’s still worthless. Genuinely, what can a penny purchase? A nickel? A dime? None of these coins can buy something individually, and a large chunk of the population doesn’t carry them because the utility they gain for having exact change is less than the coins are worth

To be clear, I understand the coins vs. bills argument, but I’m personally in favor of cutting all coins up to the quarter. Or cutting all coins except dimes and half dollars, but dimes are annoying coins

I think you’re just beginning to identify what The Hero’s Journey is

Well you see one device is made by Microsoft which has been the defacto way to watch videos for a large chunk of its lifespan and the other gave us UMDs and camcorders with cables that could only connect to Vaio laptops, which were the only devices that supported writing to mini-disc

I would not recommend PS5+Plex. I went through the whole set-up and the PS5 couldn’t encode over half my videos. When playback did work it was often choppy. I dislike that it has ads all over the place but the ONN Streaming Pro does a way better job as Plex streaming device at $45 than my PS5. Plus the controller will be much easier for simple tech users, you can rebind one of the buttons to go directly to Plex

People always remark how /r/relationshipadvice tells everyone to break up without considering 2 self selection biases:

1. People in happy healthy relationships don’t ask for a lot of advice. “I love my wife, we go on weekly dates, have couples therapy, are helping each other in our careers and our sex has never been better. Wat do?” is not something people will post
2. If you go to a drama discussion, shockingly, more dramatic content gets more attention. More drama in relationships almost always leads to" just stop dealing with it and break up" as advice

2nd pro tip:

If you’ve never attempted this before, when someone is pointing a gun at you is probably the incorrect time to try it out

A connection to young people

You’re correct on fundamentals and technicals, it’s been a while since I took a Financial Mathematics class and I don’t remember doing very well in it regardless

I’m sure there’s multiple versions, that’d be good too. It’s mostly just getting people to talk about things they like in their life

Typical advice for this is talk about FORD:

• Family
• Occupation
• Relationships
• Dreams

and avoid RAPE:

• Religon
• Abortion
• Politics
• Economics

FORD is talking about the people they love, where they spend most of their time, and what they’re excited about. RAPE is a list of topics that are frequently contentious and that people are bad at having productive conversations about (also don’t talk about rape)

The entire for profit Healthcare system is setting up problems for later

Most algorithmic trading is not done by AI and won’t be at any time in the near future. Algo trading is primarily used for HFT (high frequency trading) and fundamental trading, both of which AI are terrible for. In the HFT world traders are fighting for fractions of microseconds, so AI is far too slow to be helpful. Trading on fundamentals also won’t work with AI because AI makes frequent (by trading standards) math errors

Man if there’s a city that might hate Trump more than DC does it might be New York. New York city residents fucking hate that man, he’s been a stain on the city since the 80s

You’re putting words in the mouth of someone uninvolved in the conversation. Hank Green wasn’t in anything you posted and you’re slamming him like he is. I posted evidence in contradiction of your baseless statement

Truly, what the fuck are you talking about?
