I’m glad to hear it.

I have a friend Jody reminds me of, and I appreciate that he’s still around.

Is that the one The Onion now owns?

Feels like this could happen…

“I was trying to save him, dammit! I was desperate to save him…”

How is Jody doing, now?

We’re still quoting this fucker after his Epstein emails?

I heard one of their private rape islands got shut down. That had to be inconvenient.

Luckily for the billionaires they don’t own any homes, their homes are part of a complex companies, or some bullshit.

Makes sense. Building a home ‘steam machine’ alternative for my home TV has been on my own todo list for awhile. (Unless I can get my hands om the real deal before I get around to it, I suppose.)

Thanks.

Thats makes me wonder if the dip there is natural wear and tear taking SteamDecks out of play, and folks not replacing them because there were none in stock for awhile this summer.

Does anyone have their Steam Holo yet? Or could that drop just be all of the Valve staff taking a break from their game testing?

Yes. I was interested until I realized it’s Capcom.

Capcom needs to work much harder to rehab their reputation with me. I recall them adding DRM to games where, to me, it made no sense. Including weird, seemingly random timing for the change.

I get how there’s an argument to be had about fair online play, and stopping early pirates. But sometimes Capcom seems to me yo just be rolling dice, or trying yo meet an internal DRM use quota.

FYI, whether fair or unfair, since you don’t mention having an error-catching mechanism, the rest of us suspect that Lumo is hallucinating things regularly, and you’re not catching the lies, because you lack familiarity with the original source material.

I desperately hope that AI makes drastically fewer mistakes in some roles than others, because most people do not report the error rates that I see in my areas of expertise. So either the errors aren’t happening evenly everywhere (probably true) or some people are simply not catching the many mistakes (also probably true, though?).

No, just an American, where a health challenge of any kind can potentially bankrupt me, because health care here is a criminally privatized corporate hellscape.

We got the nerd tech who exudes, “I’d rather be at ComiCon.”

Wow. That describes my whole team.

Probably depends where the Bayer funding is at.

also anyone here into manifestation/law of attraction, does it actually work for you? not asking to like wish for money lol, more curious how you actually get into a good headspace and stay there day to day

I remember the random people I’ve interacted that I really liked.

Then I taught myself enough acting skills to pretend to be that person.

(Edit: I’m not amazing at this. It just doesn’t take that much skill or effort to become a favorite customer, while so many customers suck.)

I get genrally better service than anyone else.

I also tip well, because I can. That probably helps, but that’s not why I do it.

As others said: Choose to fall in love with brushing and flossing your teeth.

Make that shit your “me” time.

Experiment with expensive or esoteric ways to make it feel great.

If it’s not the best part of your day, change things up until it is.

I would have suffered less if I had figured this out sooner.

does manifestation actually work

Not unless your parents are rich.

had some bad losses in trading lately, took a short break and now trying to actually fix my risk management before going back in

Good for you getting out. Don’t get back in. No more day trading. Day trading is anti-social shithead behavior, anyway. If you don’t feel bad for doing it, take a closer look. It doesn’t pass any kind of pro-social test.

if you’re older and already been through your 20s, what do you wish someone told you back then?

Someone did tell me this, but I was a stupid kid. I followed it, but I started stupdily late.

Maybe you’re smarter than I was, but forgive yourself later if you’re not - you’re at least in good company.

Here is is:

"Time in the market always beats market timing. Buy conservative things with real value - ideally that routinely pay a dividend. Hold on to them.

However powerful you think you know compounding interest is, you’re wrong. It’s substantially more powerful than that.

Get it - compounding interest - on your side right now, and keep it there, anytime you can.

Don’t take out any debt that you can possibly avoid."
