The Ubisoft trading community are coping to justify holding on to their tanking investments. It’s a gambler doubling down on losing.

Christ, how the mighty Ubisoft has fallen. They will go the way of EA and become a spyware company for the decadent Arab royals. I’m just crying that Ubisoft made some of my favourite games growing up and look what they have done to my boy-- a rotting zombie 🥲

Anything but socialised housing!

This is feudalism in another name. This is precisely techno-feudalism to give it a more updated term.

We laugh at this, but the older generations still remember when the mortgage interest was this high. I don’t know where you guys are from, but there is an old news reel from the 1970s here in Ireland when young families at the time complained of “high” house prices of up to 72,000 pounds, with mortgage interest of 14%. The folks on social media had their jaws dropped on learning of how high the interest rate was, but how cheap the overall property value was back then. Now how much are those said houses at the moment? They are now worth between €690,000 to €1.5 million. High valuation but the interest rate is down in proportion. In any case, only few could afford to buy houses these days due to inflation and wages haven’t kept up with it.

WHAT’S IN THE AIR FRYER?!

I really have no sympathy for people who get screwed over again and again by the same person and don’t seem to understand why.

It’s called coping. They can’t admit to themselves that they’ve been wrong.

That, and pizza, when I was growing up in my home country, is kind of seen as a luxury thing. We only eat pizza on special occasions. Now as a grown up, I can afford to be obsessed with pizza.

Unfortunately, carbon capture is useless if we’re still burning fossil fuels for power, heat, and transport.

Carbon capture is actively harmful when used as an excuse to build new fossil fuel power plants.

Yeah, it’s a blank check to just produce more CO2.

Send them this. I’m sure they will get it.

I wasn’t aware about this with regards to mobile phone tbf. I know you are spied upon on your phone camera, but mapping the house with the phone? Do you mean like Dark Knight stuff?

When I was growing up, my mom loves using the phrase which would roughly translates to “while you are still going forward, I’m turning back”, which is a thought terminating cliché to mean do as she says because she has experience. She doesn’t say it as much as she used to because she regrets having been a strict parent. But if she pulls that line again, I have a comeback ready to tell her “you’ve turned back, but the environment you grew up in changed”.

Someone used the monkey’s paw to wish politics not to be boring.

Right…who used the monkey’s paw to wish that politics should not be boring anymore?

Languages have their own quirks and characters, representative of the people’s cultural values and history, and express ideas not even present in other cultures. As many languages have to be preserved as possible for these reasons.

If Meta actually gave a shit, they would make an actually secure app instead of putting on a play in the courts.

Yeah, you don’t hear this kind of thing about Signal.

Serious question, would countries with their own predominant religion also have religious books in their local hotels? Like, do Indian hotels have baghavad gitas on the bedside?

This what fascinates me learning about languages. They have their own characters and quirks. Languages are the embodiment of the people’s culture and history. That said, the English language shows how messed up its history is.

There are anecdotes of people changing for the worse. I remember a poster who said his parents became Trump supporting bigots, even though growing up they taught OP not to be racist.

Social media, that’s why. The brain being cooked in dopamine all the time by algorithm and fake news fries the brain. People forgot how to be nice.

It’s funny that Trump acknowledges China thinks in decades, but hey, money speaks.
