Generally when inflation is high it makes debts with a fixed interest less of a burden because the real value of that debt decreases over time. So if you’re heavily in debt inflation can be helpful in some regards.

“What about you big guy? Soup or salad?”
“Oi! Wat? A Super fuckin’ salad?”
Everything’s a drum!
Me, dead, deleting all my social media to make it a big mystery or something.
I think part of this phenomena is that the color of the sky on a clear day just wasn’t considered as a color, it was ‘blank’, the absence of clouds, stars or sunset. Kind of like how water has a flavor but we consider it to be neutral.
Well in a way he’s also famous for smoking.
This is not true. The interior of a car gets extremely hot. This is good for the dog however and will give them strong bones.
That’s my data, I don’t know you!
It drives me crazy people insist they are sending a constant audio stream somewhere for nefarious purposes without any evidence. From a networking perspective this is knowable information.
I’m happy that we live in a world where therapy and seeking mental help has been mostly de-stigmatized.
That being said there is definitely something horribly toxic about people diagnosing each over social media. “You know that thing that you struggle with? It’s not a personal failing; It’s a disorder with a name, a treatment plan, and a community of weirdos to teach you a bunch of advanced psychology terms to describe your every single thought.”
LG TV’s serve ads in notifications via the same domain that distributes new firmware. I got so sick of it that I blocked my TV from being able to reach the internet but it’s still on the network so I can still use wake on LAN to turn it on/off.
Bagel bread is really good. Like a big round soft pretzel.
Oh it’s definitely a reflection of the makeup of the industry too. No disagreement there.
I think you’re spot on.
Part of the reason I think it’s a little easier to render women is that they typically have smoother less textured skin than men (video game women look like they are wearing makeup even if it makes no sense), and we’re only just now getting the graphical fidelity to render realistic looking facial hair or fine stubble in realtime.
Not that long ago making stubble on a male character usually just involved putting an irregular brown shadow on their cheeks which can be pretty indistinguishable from dirt.
For most 3d games you spend 99% of the time looking at the backside of the character anyway. Lady butts are just better to look at generally.
Additionally in most character creation it seems easier to get a decent looking female character than a decent looking male character. I’m not entirely sure why but most male characters in games look like blocky fuzzy potatoes. When you start getting weird with fashion choices on top of that it just looks like a potato dressed like a goofball. With female characters you can go nuts with crazy hair colors, piercings, and wild fashion choices and it looks more deliberate somehow.
I said “Ave Maria”
My wife said “Jolene” which is a better answer.
I have no clue what this person is talking about but I identify with the strong desire to be understood for nonsense connections that your brain insists are totally rational.
I’ve always imagined that AI would kind of have to be ‘grown’ sort of from scratch. Life started with single celled organisms and ‘sentience’ shows up somewhere between that and humans without a real clear line when you go from basic biochemical programming to what we would consider intelligence.
These new ‘AI’ breakthroughs seem a little on the right track because they’re deconstructing and reconstructing language and images in a way that feels more like the way real intelligence works. It’s still just language and images though. Even if they can do really cool things with tons of data and communicate a lot like real humans there is still no consciousness or thought happening. It’s an impressive but shallow slice of real intelligence.
Maybe this is nonsense but for true AI I think the hardware and software has to kind of merge into something more flexible. I have no clue what that would look like in reality though and maybe that would yield the same cognitive issues natural intelligence struggles with.
Not really. If you have debts with a fixed interest rate your payments will remain mostly fixed too. That means even if your wage stagnates during a high inflation period the payments you’re making on that debt stay the same in nominal currency but the real value of that payment (and the total debt) are worth less because of inflation.
That being said your total cost of living will probably still go up and whether anyone is ‘coming out on top’ during high inflation depends on their circumstances. If your wages don’t increase and the cost of living goes up it may be harder to make debt payments even if the payment amount stays the same.
Imagine someone with a ton of debt from buying real estate. With a fixed interest rate high inflation can actually be really good for them. The value of their assets continue to go up and their debts deflate away because the money they’re paying back isn’t as valuable as it was when they borrowed it in the first place. The type of person befitting in this way probably isn’t making most of their money from a wage though.
