Comment What an ironic comment (Score -1) 199

lmao. If stupidity hurt, you'd be in a coma, drinkypoo.

For six years running you have been at the top of the "Biggest Dumbass Poster on Slashdot" award list, the unchallenged victor. Nobody can surpass the idiocy you spew on a daily basis here. You are untouchable.

"How does he do it?" everyone asks in amazement. "It's simple," drinkpoo replies. "I just try to be me, to the maximum extent possible."

Nobody is "mad" at EVs, fag. We just laugh at the dumbasses who buy them. Especially here in "flyover country", where it's 50 miles to go anywhere, or in places like Norway where it's bitterly cold. Only goes to prove what a bunch of useless cucks they are in Norway. I'm guessing Denmark is #2 in EV adoption, given that country's reputation.

The battery technology isn't there yet, and likely won't be any time soon, idiot!

first of all, a 56 billion dollar collapse is not a back swan event. its a nothingburger with no contagion risk. second of all, it's not going to collapse so long as corporate debt markets are available.

im not an MSTR investor, but i have been paying attention to what they're doing. their stock never deserved the premium, and MSTR is leveraged, but i wouldn't call them over leveraged to the point of liquidation.

Comment Re:Homeschooling is used to control (Score 1) 217

this may be true for some but its not for us. we did home schooling between 2020 and 2024 because of the pandemic and it had nothing to do with ideology. Our ideology is centered around community, but we found that the kids definitely learned more and better at home. That said, my wife is stay at home and so she became educator and mom, so kudos to her.

Anyway, the point is, home schooling isn't just for ideologies. It's also for parents who decide to do single income and invest their time in their children and education.

Comment moving toward pc's? (Score 1) 41

What data backs up this notion? PC's in the home are becoming even more rare, not more likely, especially not ones that can run AAA games. I definitely don't see it here. The only thing I can ascertain is if he's using "PC" as a way to reference valve's ecosystem without explicitly saying Valve. Is that possibly what he means?

Comment Not AI (Score 2) 162

Just like COVID introduced an accelerated market change, so has the introduction of AI. Not because of any real changes in productivity patterns, rather, it just gives an excuse for the snap-back of the market realities. Underperformers are being cut after years of hanging on, not because of AI productivity improvements, just because there's been a hiring boom and years of not much turnover.

what a weird infantilizing viewpoint. This is an anecdote but I left home at 18 and got a job, did not go to college, and didn't have any of the problems you're describing. My parents gave me $0 in money and very little support or education. I did not take out any loans, infact from my first days out in the world, I would only put on my credit card what I could pay for that day anyway.

It wasn't easy, it involved a lot of saving, but i don't think it's right to think that there's some sort of required intermediary step people must go through between high school and adult life.

4 additional years of education after high school used to be very affordable, too. At the University of Michigan in-state tuition was $240 per academic term for 1970/71 for most programs. Entry level high school teachers made $11,000 per year in 1974. It's easy to justify the cost of tuition with that relationship between cost and future pay. Today's tuition is $9,800 per term and the entry level teachers salary is $46,000.

The relationship between cost and value has broken down.
