The people I know who have thousands of dollars in TF2 hats, have played the game for thousands of hours and so want to show off a little bit with cool looking items while doing so.

They have a fair amount of disposable income, but certainly aren't billionaires.

Why?

populism = i don't like it

Neither of these countries are majority Muslim?

People are voting AfD because they are pro environment?

More competition is rarely a bad thing

yes

Europeans love to think when people say America they are referring to the continent, despite everyone knowing they mean the USA. I think it's an inferiority complex/dislike of US thing

the world is not ending.

it's manipulation if it disagrees with my very strict opinion of how society should be

when people are struggling to pay rent and afford food, telling them that they need to decrease their living standards because they will be poorer in some indeterminate amount of time, is not very convincing.

strongly believe humanity will keep innovating out of their problems, as we see time and time again despite the doom and gloom

stop being excited you sound stupid!!! hacker news obsession with doomerism is so boring

this lets me do what I want by it's bad because hacker news told me crypto can't be useful for anything

this but unironically

why is being wealthy shameful? most people gain wealth by running successful business.

and if they instead inherit that wealth, there is nothing shameful about that either - though that doesn't mean you need to boast about it

Cmon brah, people committing suicide isn't good

I am in the US on a H1-B visa, and my employer is starting the process of sponsoring me for a green card. I was born in the UK. Is this likely to succeed, and is there an estimated time it takes to be selected?

Is the X that offensive? Really seems more like an obsession with Elon to create this

What apps would you recommend?

It's cool and fun

What country doesn't have a 'heinous and disgusting past'? Why so focused on the sins of the father?

stop running code I don't like :(((

I'm hoping gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct isn't super neutered like chatgpt. davinci-003 can be a lot more fun and answer on a wide range of topics where ChatGPT will refuse to answer.

UK cops are somehow completely useless but super authoritarian at the same time tho

I really have to question what indie games you have played if you say they are not that good...

Why on earth would you want to crush indie developers in favor of large ones?

Some great examples include Super Meat Boy, Minecraft, Terraria, Audiosurf, Risk of Rain, Hotline Miami, Don't Starve, Noita

I like the DISTINCT / NOT DISTINCT unique NULL option, I was wanting this feature just a few weeks ago

God forbid people have different political opinions to you... they must be those scary militias

boggles my mind how many people can't see any value in programmatic money
