Maybe I don’t know enough about computer graphics, but in what world would you have/want to display a group of 33 pixels (one computed, 32 inferred)?!

Are we inferring 5 to the left and right and the row above and below in weird 3 x 11 strips?

I’m just surprised there isn’t a shadow industry of selling blood products fed on people altruistically donating for free (like, as far as I can tell, every country with public healthcare does) with corrupt pseudo-legal marketing ensuring that blood products are not sold for profit (because they sell the bag, not the blood, or they sell the service of delivering blood, or some bullshit like that)

It is with that attitude

Fun fact! My coworker pays more in rent for his apartment than I do on the mortgage of my house. Most often this is true.

I’m getting a once over by the bank, he’s getting done once over by the bank and again by his landlord, and they might not ever be different.

So how is an immigrant supposed to thrive when a foreign investment firm is profiting off them twice?

Subsidize affordable housing, tax wholesale & foreign landlords out of existence. It’s simple.

If only we had some sort of public entity that could fund housing investments with little to no financial gain, but great gains to public support and well-being that was also in charge of controlling and permitting immigration rates so that the two could be balanced…

No. No, that’s not it at all.

Immigrants would be better served by unprofitable low income housing, not feeding their meager scraps to pay artificially inflated rent prices to an offshore real estate investment company.

I don’t think anyone wants to make a brand new condo and try to full it full of fresh immigrants that other businesses are exploiting to pay less.

They want to develop 1 set of condos they can sell for $300k+ rather than 3 sets for $100k

But you forget that the guy chose to have his allergies, just like his sister chose to be too poor for basic modern medicine.

The true victims are the restaurant (I bet they ran out on the bill when he had “almost” anaphylaxis) and Pfizer for having their good name slandered on the internet.

On the one hand, yeah, fuck Amazon.

On the other hand, how much money are we talking? If Amazon paid you a weeks wages for a days work, would you let your principles tell you to tell them to fuck off?

I mean, a lot of people would, sure. But a lot of people wouldn’t. And I’m not sure refusing their cash and denying them your particular brand of entertainment is the spit in the face you think it would be.

Fahrenheit is literally a German dude making a scale from, “scheiße its chilly outside” to “oh mein gott, its hot out!”

It’s that extra “one” of incredulity.

40 degrees, that’s just too hot.

41? You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

Isn’t that just “giraffe” with a regional accent?

Maybe don’t charge $145 for a digital product. Maybe charge $50, and sell it to 5x the people. It quite literally costs nothing (okay, pedantically, the tiniest fraction) to sell more units.

I’d play an okay Star Wars game for $50 day 1. Wouldn’t you?

And then when it goes on sale, loads of people would pay $20 on a 60% sale price next year. Whose paying $60 at a 60% off sale for a year old okay Star Wars game? No one. Not one soul.

Oh, you can get it cheaper for subscribing to Ubisoft+. Fuck off with that bullshit, do you even hear yourself?

Appealing to the highest global polluters by illuminating the damage to third world countries?

It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off.

I use the free stuff, like, all the time

Also, if you’re not going to play it this week, think twice! And, if you’re not going to play it this month, think a third time!

We could check his tax returns to findohwaitaminute!

The problem is we talk about the economy in terms like “revenue” “profit” or “prices”.

We need to change the language of the economy to appeal to its true creed: line go up. It’s Economics 101. Line go up, forever.

Hence, I propose we talk about the cost of things on units of “not getting fucked”

Use phrases like, “the not getting fucked on tomato sauce has been dropping lately”

Bad bot

My question is how is it not trivial to add a noise wave or some shit to the bot path? Obviously, I have zero technical knowledge of how bots, pathing, or anti-bot analysis works
