Entirely, huh? Nothing else that needs adjusting? lol

I think you mean spirit vs letter of the law, but yeah, any time you count on cops or courts honoring the ‘spirit of the law’ you’re probably gonna get burned.

Of course with this law nobody is gonna get burned unless they are actually doing laps. Cops don’t have time to be counting how many times you went through a traffic circle in a day, they’ve got people and dogs to kill.

The more of these comics I read, the more I like Everett. He is an OG.

They’ve been calling us meatbags since at least 2003.

Because most people, including those implementing this shit, have no idea how LLMs work, or their limitations. I see it every day at my job. I have given up trying to patiently explain why they are having issues.

I played through it at least 3 times back in the day to 100% the achievements. Don’t know if I have another run in me. But for anyone who hasn’t played, go for it. It’s a blast and has some unique game mechanics.

Nothing to forgive, I love hearing about cool stuff people did with their Amigas! Thanks for sharing.

The economy may be booming per statistics, but who is it benefiting, people who need the benefit, or no?

The answer is low wage workers

That is excellent news and something that I did not know. It certainly isn’t being publicized. Like you I agree that the media is mostly to blame, especially for the part where you mention “my local economy is great but the country’s sucks!”. They have a vested interest in keeping people on edge and hungry for more info, which is terrible and one of the reasons I think we should have a hell of a lot more nonpartisan publicly funded news sources than we do. Not to mention bringing back the Fairness Doctrine.

I don’t think most people feel their buying power has caught up with the greedflation we saw over the last few years. Statistics can be made to say anything.

I am firmly in the upper middle class bracket so I’ve been insulated from it, but I am constantly seeing news about the crunch that the lower economic classes are feeling, and it seems reasonable to me. We are inundated with evidence that younger generations can’t afford housing, can’t afford groceries, etc. The economy may be booming per statistics, but who is it benefiting, people who need the benefit, or no? That’s the real question and I think the dissatisfaction a lot of people feel is a marker that it’s not as simple as what the numbers might show.

There’s no such thing as ‘everyone else is wrong’ when it comes to taste in art. I was just providing my viewpoint that was in agreement with Rick’s. I don’t think he even discussed compensation to artists in this video, he’s just talking about how much people value music today vs in years past.

There’s nothing wrong with enjoying mechanical music. I love some of it, in fact I’m currently on a big psytrance kick. But I agree with him that most of it coming out in the last 20 years is garbage. And it’s perfectly ok to disagree with that. I never said people suck if they like modern stuff. I just think it’s mostly shit. :)

Edit: fact is, most of the music coming out at ANY time is garbage, and always has been - we only remember the good stuff from the past because everybody forgot about all the other trash

Audio on the Amiga was way ahead of its time. I had a device for my A500 that you could plug in an RCA cable and sample audio. I plugged my VCR into it and recorded all the best lines from Aliens and some other movies and shared them with my friends. Game over man, game over!

And I like to fire up my Amiga emulator and play some of my old mods once in a while. They still sound good.

I said my favorite music was made before I was born. It wasn’t “the stuff that came out when I was growing up is my favorite” which is what people keep replying with.

“Almost all my favorite music was made before I was born.”

I was a young person hating new music. RIF.

Don’t judge. He has a lot of layers to put on before he goes out in public.

Agreed, there are gems to be found. That’s why I said mostly.

You made up a lot of stuff in your head about me to get to your conclusion.

That was a long jump.

I’ve experienced it first hand. I am not a liar.

Agreed for the most part. But you can absolutely be antisocial to your ‘other’ or ‘out group’.

Me: “Reading the technology community will be safe before bed”

OP: “Nah.”
