Not paying. in c/[email protected]

As others pointed out, it's not only the US economy that will be hit, but also everyone that trades with them.

To illustrate some examples, Canadian aluminum might end up with 25% tariffs. That means anything made within the USA that uses said aluminum will get a price increase. Canadian companies might end up with a surplus, since their main customers won't be buying as much (instead of paying 100 dollars for a tonne, 'mericans will pay 125 dollars per tonne). That surplus will drive prices down if they can't find someone else to buy the aluminum.

Since the tariffs aren't only on Canadian aluminum, but a lot of stuff from a lot of countries, some of that stuff will end up with a significant surplus and no new buyers. For smaller countries that rely on USA exports, that's going to hurt a lot.

I'm old, but never sent or received a fax or rented from Blockbuster specifically, we had plenty of local "mom&pop" stores.

Never paid with cheque, by the time I was old enough to have any significant amount of money (~2011) they were already almost entirely phased out

I suppose the burning of Rome made a lot of previously subjugated people celebrate wildly for the misfortune of their conquerors.

Who is your oldest "hear me out" that you can remember from childhood? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My guess is a character from Breath of Fire 3 or 4, the style is VERY 1990s Capcom

Don't forget the 1990 Gulf War. That was probably the best example of the government getting the ENTIRE media on its side. Saddam was sent running from Kuwait, but the USA made sure to destroy a lot of Iraq's civilian infrastructure in the meantime.

What is the lowest quality product you’ve ever purchased? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

I did buy a number of fake flash drives, so they're definitely up there. Luckily I've always won the disputes and got my money back from every one of them.

There were also a number of headphones whose sound was so fucking bad, listening to stuff off my phone's speakers was better

So it runs the same games, but faster. Not exactly what I'd call a "massive upgrade", especially when you compare PS1 to PS2 or PS2 to PS3

Does anyone have custom rules for Pocket Imperium? (programming.dev)
 

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/147299/pocket-imperium

The game is a very simple and all about territory control. A common complaint is exactly that it's too simple. Does anyone know about custom rules or things that can give more variety to the game, without necessarily making it too complex?

You can't fight bullshit with information because each side has a very different "win condition" (programming.dev)
 

The best way to understand is looking at it like a game

People that want to inform others need to explain stuff, sometimes more thoroughly than reasonably needed, which takes, say, 50 energy per answer. They also need people to understand what's being informed, this is their "win condition"

Bullshitters just need to spam shit, never need to check sources, never need to be truthful and will use all sorts of logical fallacies when confronted. It takes 1 energy to start, 1 energy to spread AND they can convince others to spread it further for them. They don't want to inform, they want to get an immediate reaction, which is often of anger towards a "culprit". Their win condition is reach + emotional reaction.

Even worse, bullshitters will hypocritically pile up on anyone that they judge to not be playing "by the rules", since they have complete disregard for rules that don't benefit them.

YSK: There's a site that lists delisted games (delistedgames.com)

The site also has pages for keeping track of what has been delisted from specific vendors, such as Steam, Epic or GOG for PC

Can you share some ideas for recycling yogurt cups into terrain? (programming.dev)
 

I've got a number of these cups in a variety of sizes, but I can't figure what kind of scenery to do with them. I'd like some ideas, both fantasy and futuristic, whether as blogs, pictures or videos.

Why did it take so damn long for humanity to "learn" how to draw/paint realistic images? (programming.dev)
 

I mean, you take one look at Greek statues and Roman busts and you realize that people figured how to aim for realism, at least when it came to the human body and faces, over 2000 years ago.

Yet, unlike sculpture, paintings and drawings remained, uh, "immature" for centuries afterwards (to my limited knowledge, it was the Italian Renaissance that started making realistic paintings). Why?

Maybe all this AI bullshit might finally push people to touch grass and interact face to face some more (programming.dev)
 

Given how harder it's becoming to tell apart AI slop from something made by a human (videos, photos, text), and how much scammers and other criminals are piling up on the tech, I'm thinking this will be the silver lining, making some people pay more attention to real life and finally accept the maxim "Don't believe everything you see on the internet"
