  • Yes and you can check how much a state spends per student and see why.

    Idiots from Florida come in at $9k per student where students from NY/NJ get $12-$15k and the difference shows. If you’re hiring out of Florida expect them to suck and have less skill than 70% of the country.

    Idaho and Montana have got to have some of the dumbest and most held back areas I have ever seen. Even their construction practices come from the dark ages in some cases.

    Don’t even get me started on the South and Midwest as a whole.

    Geniuses are rare and intelligence scores are bullshit.

    Put money into schooling and fund teachers. You will solve your “everyone is stupid” problem for sure.


  • I bet GTA VI will feel like all the others and not be too innovative because why? Their player base is just degenerates. The game design is to fuck each other and the NPCs up while giving you the feeling that you can do anything without taking responsibility.

    I’m not that gamer though. I like complicated thinking while smashing and grabbing. GTA doesn’t have that so I made up my own scenarios (RP before it was a thing with my friends in person typically while drinking) and played my own game when San Andreas was out. IV and V were just nice updates to the same game SA was.

    The stories were bland at best. The missions are bland too. Makes sense how RP got popular because the game itself is just tropes and cliches and stuff we already see IRL. They just capitalized on it. Rockstar isn’t some amazing company they just show you what you already see but in a video game. It’s not creative, it’s just observant and opining.

    RDR2 was a great story but that’s where that game ends. It’s another sandboxed GTA in old west times. Nothing special.

    You can’t choose your destiny. You just sit in a sandbox trapped and stimulated by simple dopamine triggers without puzzles to work the mind and skill. Kind of like real life.

    Overall it’s not a bad series. For what it is it is fun. To act out and be irresponsible in a vidya game is for sure fun. Maybe it’s even a work of art? I would agree. But it’s not something that is really innovative at this juncture. It’s not profitable.

    I know this lazy, dumb as shit 40yo Republikid who sounds like CNBC and Cramer who finds empathy by feeling bad for the anti-work subreddit.

    “At least Im not them” he says.

    Try to get into the nuts and bolts of things and the dummy shuts down spectacularly.

    Also, he’s never had a gf. IDK how these folks plan on winning when they get no love.






  • People got hung up on the gambling of it by celebrities.

    People love celebrities and they scammed them so now crypto must all be a scam.

    I have been following the tech since it dropped.

    Crypto solves plenty of real world issues such as quickly and efficiently handling transactions. A project like Ripple has been working with BOA and their payroll division to cheaply handle transactions and scale the service as needed. Something our dinosaur ACH system sucks at terribly.

    It also solves warehouse management issues. Warehouse management has become increasingly asymmetrical with massive hubs such a Amazon growing exponentially within the last 15 or so years. People cannot keep up. Give everything a RFID crypto tag and you can find anything anywhere.

    It’s stable and efficient tech. People who say otherwise may not know the good projects as opposed to the scam coins/projects.

    If a celebrity is doing it, don’t buy it. The conditions have changed, this isn’t 1960 and celebrities are just d bags mostly. Just my observation living around and knowing some.

    Anyway crypto is dope, the cultural bullshit and lies aren’t. And most people are fairly dumb. Which is why we need a working Google and not whatever the current garbage state it’s in.

    BTW Coinbase is the only barrier to entry I am aware of. Safest, most regulated exchange and has a lobby in Congress.

    Get educated not “cultured”.



  • Poor management is the problem. Your overhead has nothing to do with us. You suck at business and cutting jobs is all you do.

    Games are not worth more by any means. The market is saturated and AAA games release unfinished and you still make your profits and bonuses.

    The problem are the elite shitbags who go to elite schools and get cherry picked by other elite shitbags who continue the cycle of enshittification of the world rather than hiring good hard working Americans within that KNOW their industry and the products where people like Tim Apple and whoever this Capcom CEO ding dong do not at all.


  • Everyone sucks at business. Everyone. Businesses is an art form. You can do anything you want with it.

    Check this out. Free isn’t a real thing. You cannot build a site in your free time and then give it away for free and expect people to pick up the slack.

    You need to charge people. So you need a secure way to handle information and payments.

    NOBODY wants ads anywhere anymore. It’s mind poison from another time.

    Creator owned platforms is where its at.

    Nebula.tv is a great example.

    If you cannot figure out a pay schedule then hire or collaborate with someone who does.




  • Thats not true. There are rather large payroll services using it to settle transactions because it is leagues cheaper than using the old outdated system the world uses.

    The fun part is that you and I do not benefit from it because then the payroll service would have to give our companies cheaper rates for cheaper transactions. It A LOT of money they are making in savings not being transfer to markets.

    Bank of America is an example of test cases using crypto services to settle payroll transactions and its been largely successful.

    The reason the public gets the scammy stuff is because they don’t know any better. Look at 2008. Even that didn’t change the understanding of the public about how they know little about finance and how the world actually moves and got caught again by believing in the scammers.

    It’s not crypto thats the problem, it’s gullibility and a typically ill informed public.

    By 2030 global financial systems will absolutely be running cryptocurrencies as clearing houses and the public will not see a price difference because the public doesn’t know much about finance (literally nothing). It’s so incredibly efficient compared to Nacha.



  • On Steam I have 150+ hours and in my achievements I see that only 0.7% of players have touched 100 planets.

    So I don’t think that people are being honest and/or don’t really understand how big the game is.

    This game is huge. I spent apx 40 hours just surveying systems. And I can for sure say that the prog gen is very well done. Very well especially when comparing to other space games and when specifically talking about POI integration. Every POI looks like it was built there, with minor glitches and imperfections people with less hours would not even notice. The POIs feel balanced especially when the environment is taken into account.

    At 100 planets you really begin to understand the breadth of it. The planets I have been on have anywhere from 3-10+ POIs and you can “push” the invisible wall to prog gen more POIs which I understand breaks some immersion but I am fine with it. Some moons are devoid of anything, some have life, some have POIs, and some don’t. The planets typically have at least 3-5 resources and 3-5 flora and fauna. 6+ is common enough as well. While patterns may emerge between systems, it still feels pretty random and balanced.

    And again, this game is massive. I haven’t even seen nearly all of the systems which I imagine will hold some easter eggs.

    Lastly, this game is meant to be played slow. It’s an explorer game. You can’t rush or speed run this one. Sure some of the stories suck, yet plenty are good. Just like real life.

    I can’t wait to see if someone does an “all systems surveyed” video. Because even if you have your surveyed maxxed you have to scan at the surface too. Unless it’s a gas/ice giant.
