Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. I don't think most people understand that, and it will lead to people losing faith in experts when they're told inflation is back to pre-pandemic levels but prices aren't.

People don't understand this about inflation and it will disappoint them very soon once inflation is fully back to rates we saw pre-pandemic.

Grocery prices aren't coming down. Housing prices aren't going down. Utility costs aren't going down. The best we can hope for is for them to not increase as fast as they have the last four years and for the usual fluctuations in things like gas or electricity costs to fluctuate down more than up.

And the most recent trailer also has a fairly large cameo spoiler too. So if you care, now is a good time to stop looking up info on the movie until you see it.

It's funny, I think Vegas is perfectly fine as the city of sin so things like this really don't phase me. It was built on the idea of crime and excess.

What does seem weird to me is how in a desert, why isn't everything solar? The sun is their only natural resource besides sand. Every rooftop and parking lot and flat surface possible seems like it should be a panel.

That embezzlement conviction of Dalongeville, is both damning and an interesting look at the problem. Liberalism and leftism haven't solved problems that common people actually experience. The right hasn't either and has no real plan to, they just bother to talk about it and give common people a boogie man that they can aim their anger at.

It is frustrating to me how these parties on left barely even try to make people's lifes better. To show them why more leftist or socialist policies are the way to go. It has been proven time and time again throughout history that in times of financial insecurity, normal people are easily swayed by far right strongmen and demonization of a weaker other. Why does the left continue to fail at preventing this?

It also feels like their insistence is doing nothing but hurting them. The average consumer who doesn't know the difference between a local account and a Microsoft account won't know or care about MS doing this.

But the users who do have a preference and do want a local account are just going to be irritated at it and give them bad press. They'll eventually figure out how to make a local account anyway and it may be the push they need to migrate off of Windows.

Oh, I didn't even think about that. Definitely makes sense.

In a Korean car too which is funny.

What does the BODG stand for?

It really feels like drug users' demand for drugs that don't kill them would create a market for artisanal drugs, like with the alcohol industry.

If I had any interest in hard drugs, I would be terrified to use them now. I know we're dealing with addicts who aren't making good decisions, but aren't there wealthy coke fiends? How can anyone snort lines at a party if they don't know if it has all this lethal shit in it?

You can also play with it to try and get closer to correct. I had problems with getting an Excel macro working and getting unattended-updates working on my pihole. GPT was wrong at first, but got me partly there and I could massage the question and Google and get closer to the right answer. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to get any of it, especially with the macro.

That is what is frustrating. He doesn't really mean what you "see". He means go with your gut/surface level feelings and understanding. If you "see" something that goes against what you see or what you feel without any specialized knowledge on the subject, go with your priors.

Did you get a browser error when trying this? It might be because you left the www in the URL. I had to remove that and replace it with old, and it works. The rest of the link structure is the same on both old and new reddit. I even tried it from a VPN just to be sure it wasn't seeing my logged in cookies, and in a private browsing window where RES isn't allowed to run. Worked fine.
