1. Okay, what does she bring to the table?
2. She’s not looking for a mate, she’s looking to be pampered princess-child.

Median means half the people earn less, half earn more than 150k

This is a better source. Lowest 10% ear below 76k a year, highest top 10% earn more than 210k. Median is 150k

Median is $154000 a year https://www.bls.gov/ooh/transportation-and-material-moving/air-traffic-controllers.htm

I’d honestly call it ‘yeah, you should be earning that much in less demanding and less important jobs’ rather than ‘high paying’, but I’m corporate trash and high salaries I see are higher.

Me:

30% markup

Them:

everyone only talks about the 30 since thats all they hear about. Only an Epic Games apologist would parrot this as a talking point

You:

He didn’t. He said people who parrot it are [Epic Games apologist]

Confused noises.

Semperverus said anyone who says that 30% is too much is an Epic Game apologists, whatever that is.

Semperverus is insinuating anyone who says that 30% is amount taken by Steam is wrong, and saying that is parroting, and should be instead thought as “Poor Steam is forced to take 30% because this is industry standard”, but Valve, and I quote here, “goes out of its way to make exceptions to this rule”.

And no; realistically, if you lose Visa and Mastercard, you can close shop. Obviously it’s for profit, because a 99% reduction in turnover means all employees out of work.

Doesn’t change the fact that bending over backwards for Visa and Mastercard and banning some content because of their whims is enshittification. The service is worse than it was before, in the name of profit.

Only an Epic Games apologist would parrot this as a talking point.

Why are you trying to offend me? I didn’t call you names, why are you doing that?

but ultimately it wasn’t for profits so much as it was survival.

Visa and Mastercard aren’t the only available payment options in Steam. Yielding to them was for profit.

Survival? Steam has enough profit to create it’s own payment processor and make it popular.

Steam

30% markup. Predatory currency conversion policies. Recent scandals with Steam censoring games on behest of Australian Right nuts groups.

Cucumbers. You can pickle it, eat it raw, semi-pickle it (google Polish 2 day dill pickles). Or try raddishes if you want stronger flavours.

Side note:

gooey and seedy

That’s not a tomato. A proper tomato is firm and sweet and not uniform in shape or colour. Source: am eating some right now, took me forever to find seeds.

The shit we are sold as tomatoes are bulldogs of tomato family. Crossbred damaged line created to maximise profit and decrease production cost, by sacrificing quality and taste.

Nordic retirement funds famously don’t invest in shitty companies or housing property… directly. In Nordic countries.

They do own a sizeable chunk of middleman and own a lot of empty estates as well as renting agencies, e.g. in London UK, Gdansk Poland (and I forgot all other places)

derogatory language towards sexually promiscuous women

So… She called (an imaginary?) slut “slut” and had to apologize for it?

Good advice, except that’s not a long term storage. Bit corruption is a thing.

China is (a form of) capitalism and also famously is against free competition though?

I may have given up my career to sit in therapist offices, but I believe every troubled kid deserves a shot.

Every other kid and teacher in school deserves peace and not being assaulted by your kid.

I honestly think that LLM will result in no progress made ever in computer science.

Most past inventions and improvements were made because of necessity of how sucky computers are and how unpleasant it is to work with them (we call it “abstraction layers”). And it was mostly done on company’s dime.

Now companies will prefer to produce slop (even more) because it will hope to automate slop production.

Dude, are you like literally crazy? You come here, suddenly start calling me names and now are trying to gaslight me tham I need to defend or some other shit?

Get help. Blocked.

So you had nothing to say about whats wrong with planned urbanization, so you went again for a personal attack, and switching to something something about marxist or communism because… Well, honestly, I don’t know why nor do I care.

This is the only thing of value you wrote

Objectively, it was bad to build unhabitable skyskrapers.

Yes. Those few bad actors who build tofu buildings in Tukery, Greece, China, Myanmar, Bangkok, or USA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Regency_walkway_collapse#%3A~%3Atext=On+July+17%2C+1981%2C+two%2Cweight+it+held+that+night.) or wherever are bad and did wrong. What’s your point?

Cool. Do you want me to go through each sector in the article and ask you the same question, do you think salary in it will go up or down if suddenly most office workers will be competing for the same jobs? Or did I get my point across why blue collar workers will have it worse if suddenly office workers will be out of office jobs, or if median salary for them goes down?

By blue collar do you mean, what exactly? Trades? That will go down quickly, you can’t feed all tradesman on the need of the richest few who remain.

Factory? Suddenly all the previously white collar office jobs and the current factory workers will be competing for them. Do you think that will make the salary go up or down?

Agriculture? Most office workers are stuck in the city. Who can will move and they will be competing for those jobs too, so you think the salaries there will go up or down?

Yeah, my server end with ml so I must be a tankie, makes sense.

It cannot be that I genuinely appreciate long term vision policies. I must be a tankie. And you’re right, those cities were not needed, and planned urbanization must be planned only 2 years ahead because everything else is speculative bubble made for speculation.
