This is probably more of a localized situational matter than most of us realize. The US (and the world for that matter) is a big place of extreme diversity.

Unfortunately for your world views, no. I’m 28 and able to engage in empathy for the plight of my fellow man. Sad you’ve gotten that used to callous realities.

True, but I just don’t think we should incentivize funding amazing programs with money sources primarily funded by the underprivileged day dreaming of a better life. It just seems sad.

I’m not mad, but you’re judging something that factually has potential to be addictive depending on the person, and that has been shown to be abusive to those in poverty (because again, that’s the main participants, people underprivileged day dreaming for a way out) as good just because it funds education and some otherwise very good things. We can run a lottery without incentivizing the funding to come from the underprivileged, and fund education, and should expect our government to do both.

They’re referring to how the lottery is a tax on poor people. The states/etc use large portions of funding from it to do good things, but it shouldn’t be a revenue stream for states because a majority of participants live at or below the US poverty line.

The lottery is by and far an excessive tax on the poor. That’s my only problem with it.

Protest without civil disruption is impossible. There’s many many examples of this throughout history. I wish it weren’t necessary, because yes I know things have become so bad under the current capitalistic economy that even a few hours or a day can make/break livelihoods, but it is necessary if we as a society want to have any hope of reclaiming power from our corporate and governmental overlords. They’re simply too entrenched and empowered in comparison to those they abuse at this point to fight with mere words alone.

…? My iPhone speaker blows my old m8 speaker out of the water by a long shot. This might just be nostalgia or your current pocket pal might just have a trash speaker.

To be fair, Prime Video has always just been a free perk attached to prime (and with all the other ‘perks’ combined you could basically consider it free). For example I get an extra 3% back on all my Amazon orders by being a prime member. At the current cost of prime and just with the home supplies I order w/ subscribe and save, it pays for itself. That’s not to say I’m happy with this, but in actuality they’re fairly well positioned with the product to make this move and have most of the user base be merely disgruntled.

Huh, my bad. I was operating off of old information. They’ve actually already released the sdk and apis I was referring to.

No joke, probably intel. The cards won’t hold a candle to a 4090 but they’re actually pretty decent for both gaming and ML tasks. AMD definitely needs to speed up the timeline on their new ML api tho.

This (https://amzn.to/3Ei1ZJy) is probably the best “dumb” display I’m aware of. Kind of a dying species since consumers generally buy smart displays and tvs/etc rely heavily on the subsidization they get from both data collection and economies of scale.

I don’t know what marketing campaign you think is going to tell a normal non-tech literate user to install not only a third party app store which they’d have to sideload through a complicated process, but also do so in the reviews section for a random product instead of just paying the 1/10th of a cent it takes to run an ad somewhere relevant. This post is legitimately so poorly thought out it frustrates me. Go get yourself evaluated for anxiety if you feel this distrustful of the world, my word it’s insane.

You’re insane.
