I wanted to go to sleep and have a last look at lemmy. I looked at it a bit longer because it looked beautiful and kinda made me think how these birds are literally not flying away or how could this be staged.
But I just forgot AI exists and just didnt even zoom into that thing. Which really is noticable now… but I literally bought it as being real.
Not only we have infinite stamina glitch, but also aimbot. No other species can throw objects with such precision as humans and our closest related species
Can’t forget our ability to literally be hyper fixated at following prey without getting bored or distracted. Perseverance is often a highly useful but currently exploited skill in our economy.
IIRC the director or someone was depressed and the ending was him getting out of depression. I haven’t watched the show in a long long time but I do remember the ending making more sense with that explanation.
Been reading the “Deathworlders” novel. Earth is a Level-12 “deathworld”. Too impossibly dangerous for sentient life to evolve on a Level-10. Gravity, parasites, bacteria, fungi, viruses, predators, solar radiation, extreme heat and cold, tectonic activity, tornadoes, hurricanes, all that.
Rest of the galaxy wrote us off as too dangerous to even investigate. And besides, there can’t be intelligent life there.
Free book, kinda like a FOSS story, if you will, but not fan fiction either. Getting a little odd several thousand pages in, but I’m hanging in for the last 800 pages (out of 10,000+).
Google “humans fuck yeah” or “HFY” for more fiction along these lines.
Are you aware of the fact that right now China is on a housing crisis of its own, brought on by the fact that most households have no way to create an investment of their own to save for retirement, except for real estate, leading to some of the highest prices in the world?
If you actually choose to bother to check out pricing in most Chinese cities, you would come to realise that the pricing is very similar to the London center. When you consider that the average salary in China is much lower than in the UK, most Chinese are only able to buy houses with help from their parents and grandparents. Add to that the lack of balance between genders due to the ruinous one child policy, and the cultural norm of property being a requirement before even trying to propose to someone, and you got a housing bubble that looks set to burst.
Most current state put them at 40 trillion yuan in mortgages (5.5 trillion USD)
And their home ownership rates aren’t surprising when you consider how they have been pre-selling homes before they are even built. Which is backfiring horribly with those housing companies going under because they can’t finish the homes fast enough.

If you had a clue regarding the subject you’re opining on, then you’d understand that these figures aren’t mutually exclusive. Vast majority of people in China own their primary homes, that’s where 80% ownership comes from. In additions, people and companies buy up secondary properties, which is where the mortgages come from.

Do elaborate how it’s backfiring on anybody but the financial capitalists who invested in these ventures.
I literally quoted a mainstream western article explaining that this is the case and even going into detail of how and why this is the case. Are you trying to claim that Forbes is shilling for China here and making things up?
Are you suggesting that the rate of home ownership in China has changed in any substantial way in the past 7 years. If so please do provide citations to support your claims. Otherwise, feel free to go trolling in a different thread lmao.
I already did. The statista link from before shows new home sales falling off a cliff over the last couple years. Probably due to all the problems the big sellers like evergrande have been seeing
I’ve literally addressed this already above. Your links are not showing that home ownership is falling off, they’re showing that people are buying less homes now. Which is something you’d expect to be the case when most people already own a home. The only people buying homes now are the ones investing in them as secondary properties. It’s incredible that you can’t wrap your head around this.
Haha, that bison player doesnt even know how wrecked his team is once the hidden “teaching” skill of human players starts to pay off real hard. (credits @ tierzoo yt channel)
