When the MCU movies were good, there were at most 3 movies a year, and very few TV shows. But most of the movies were consistently good and a few were amazing. Now it's all bland crap, except for the movies post-"Endgame" that were shielded or mostly shielded from Disney interference: "No Way Home", "Guardians, volume 3" and the Spider-verse movies.

Redfall was so bad they probably should have converted anyone who worked on it into a janitor and made sure they never works on games again.

At some point, everyone who worked on it is responsible for the condition it arrives in.

They were paid for a service that they did not deliver.

They delivered exactly the same service as any other carbon credit seller, the appearance of doing soemthing while doing absolutely nothing.

Because first world nations are spending their own money.

Excuse me? As a taxpayer I can very much assure you they are NOT spending "their own" money. They are spending the money of the citizens of those countries.

They spend either my tax money, OR by printing more money destroy the purchasing power of money I have. Either way they are spending my money.

Has Microsoft ever done anything "responsible" in almost 50 years?

I find this headline amusing, given that Microsoft has never done anything responsibly in the almost 50 years it's been around.

I've played around with ePub text to speech using some different AI voice generators.

You are absolutely correct that it doesn't always get the inflection and the tone 100% correct, but some of the voices do a very good. Pacing, intontation, pitch--these are all in play, and the tech is getting better, rapidly.

Someone released a mod for World of Warcraft that voices all of the old unvoiced parts from the last 20 years. It's pretty darn good! They could use some more diversity in voices, but I'm very excited to see the continued innovation in text to speech over the next few years.

Poor countries must demonstrate clearer accounting and transparency to back up their calls for trillions of dollars of climate finance,

Why, when no first world nation does the same?

At this point trillions of dollars have gone into climate related slush funds with much of it siphoned off to make some very rich people incredibly richer, with a tiny portion actually going to real efforts to help the environment.

Why shouldn't the third would be allowed to dine at the same trough? Sounds like a racist thing if I'm being honest.

That sounds like something a bot would say.

You live in a rural town and work in semiconductor design?

Yea, maybe designing the box they get shipped in.

Actually no. Survivorship bias is precisely the act of using self referential anecdotal evidence and extrapolating it beyond its appropriate scope.

He used a self-referential anecdote to conclude something about himself, and nobody else. That is perfectly valid use of an anecdote. Just because anecdotes are often used incorrectly does not mean that every use of an anecdote is incorrect. You just saw an anecdote in a conversation and dutifully recited the logical fallacy lines.

For it to not be survivorship bias the anecdote needs to explore data beyond ones self.

No, it does not. He is not seeking to make any conclusion beyond himself. Why would he need extra data? He is saying "I've never had an accident, therefore given that past performance is a reasonable indicator of future performance, I conclude that I am a good driver." That is a perfectly valid statement. If he tried to conclude anything beyond himself, you might have a case. But, as it stands, he is not, so you don't.

The only thing dumber than a person who makes logical fallacies, is someone calling others out on logical fallacies incorrectly. Stop it, you're embarrassing yourself.

The rest of the world won't, because their own currencies are currently inflating more than the USD.

The U.S. is squarely in the middle of the list of world inflation (you can sort by tapping on column headers).

But the bigger problem is inflation ahead, which is illuminated quite well by the debt to GDP ratio map, where only a handful of countries are worse off... the interest payments for the U.S. debt are nearing exponential increase.

Got Gold?

Dude 10cm is less than a hand span. How close do you want your car to be to other objects?

That's a problem with America and it's retarded culture, not developments in modern vehicle design.

That is NOT AT ALL what the parent poster said. You're a disingenuous dick and you should feel bad.
