Microsoft owes 29 billion in back taxes
Zaku3 replied to SuperSpreader's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
How fucked is our economy if Microsoft is offering a credit card? Scrapping the barrel at this point. -
The Spanish and their decendents ruled the colonies and the nations that followed. That still taints the modern nations in Latin America. For him it could be trying to fit in or an extension of Spanish colonial rascism. It concerns me how many Latins get caught up in the alt-right.

This is the core issue here. I don't understand how these people live in so much fear. Where do these people live that their first response is to open fire. My half brother was killed a few years back. Went to open the door and the perp opened fire. I still don't feel particularly in danger living in my city or going to Buffalo. I don't understand this level of fear. I can see how our isolation causes that and the increased isolation brought on by the pandemic has pushed multiple people over the edge.

You're proving my point by replying to me. Nothing in that post should have triggered a response. Your response is based on something I didn't cover. Which is that I didn't account for people that are unreasonable. They are unreasonable because they were me before and I couldn't change my mind. They act like I used to act. I don't act like that because brain chemistry made me an unreasonable person again. I saw how even the new perspective I have on things is useless without being able to control my emotions. Conformation bias is a bias and you can change your bias to one that accounts for all of your observations. Not just the ones that you like. The root causes of our issues are widespread and the problems are getting worse not better. I'm introspective enough to see I'm not that anymore. I don't think my fellow country men are. I got to a point where I said I want to die but don't want to kill myself. How do I change that sentiment.

It's more baller to understand the quote and not need to use it because its better to explain why someone would use that quote. It implies everyone understands it and I don't think everyone does. Inter-human problems are caused by a lack of communication. Just posting a quote is a sympthom of that. It's not a coincidence how I post and respond to things has changed but the answers are just more detailed. I want to make sure I am understood. When I look at people now. I go "Ahhh so this why I behaved that way before."

I'm passionate about helping people solve their problems. Nothing on that list actually solves all of our problems 100%. I know what winning looks like and feels like. I wouldn't do any of those things. It's still essentially doing the same thing over and over again. Only slightly different each time and hoping for a different result. We call ourselves the American experiment but only an insane person would do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result. I used to be that person so I see cope and kicking the can down the road for what they are. Not what people tell you they are and not what you hope they are. If America is an experiment then it has failed and we need to think of a new hypothesis to test. I need evidence things are getting better. I'm only seeing people don't truly understand our problems nor how to actually fix them. Do you know how often I hear as an excuse we don't have the money for that. Ok so we don't have enough of a piece of paper that is a means of exchange or at worst a bunch of binary code in a computer. Not actual things you need like equipment, goods, manpower, etc. I know it sounds idealistic but we are facing multiple ongoing interconnected global issues and baby steps don't solve that. The time for baby steps is long past. A sitting President incited a coup and it failed because he answers "What if Julius Caesar was an idiot?" He should go to jail, needs to go to jail, but I don't know what the blowback of that is. I just know the last time someone was going to get tried after losing public office that dude crossed the Rubicon and was assassinated on the Ides of March to people he forgave and let go in some cases. The storm of civil wars in the Roman Republic only ended after Octavius defeated all of his enemies. People accepted the changes in Rome because people get tired of suffering with no end in sight. When people have enough they have had enough. Thinks are fineish because enough people haven't had enough. I think the pandemic made people hungrier in the Western world for a more just, egalitarian, and post scarcity society. Rich people don't want that because then they can't have I guess Nazi memorabilia??? A market can't solve our climate crisis. It requires a command economy if you wanna still have a market as like a stepping stone to moving on. I just find markets horribly inefficient. Do we really need a fiber network for every cable and internet company? Is monopoly a mistake of the market or is it actually just going to the most efficient path of one provider of goods? I get the feeling from the desperation I feel from management at my job that they are running out of ways to make more money. It's the only way I can explain why you'd waste precious time trying to get a person that can't afford your service to buy your service. Work smarter not harder.

Oh yes I agree. I find people don't accept multiple true statements that appear contradictory. I blame it on text. I have go clearly express all my thoughts to make sure there isn't some misunderstanding. I don't have a persons tone and body language to work with in addition to the words. Chat messages about our past leads to blocking. Phone calls with the same info lead to progress is what I found. I think people are used to fighting about the past when talking about it so my calm demeanor makes them calm so they actually want to talk. In theory. I'm 1-1-2 and the draw one might be an L. People need to feel like their's a problem to look for help. If the situation reminds them of past trauma they respond that way.

Ya its a crisis because limited access due to money and not enough licensed personel. I asked one in HS if I could be a therapist and he told me no. Shock to me that he is right but its because I can't take the test to be licensed because of the galaxy brain move that you need a masters in order to take the test.

As a person that is closer to out patient then starting treatment. My outlook on life is super rare. I reached it by whying myself to death. I don't see the conditions that lead to this in enough people to make out society collectively better. I think either people don't know how to live and never learn or mental health issues are way more common then we suspect probably that plus other unknown factors at work. My theory is I'm a nerd I want to learn from other people's life and experiences but I somehow never even learned from my experiences. I in fact couldn't until I was taking Pristiq for long enough. I'm unsure of what exactly did more but thinking about how to resolve situations ideally is easier when you know the right question to ask so I guess meds more important. Therapy was a jump start to get me going in a new direction. I think. Still reading and such.

Rule of thumb seems to be performance depends on how well the emulator does it's job. The games could run on the Deck if there was a Windows release. Hell even with the Deck it's almost at real time levels of emulation since proton is translating DX12 calls to Vulkan. So it's a question of software more then hardware. I think I hit like 30FPS 1080p on my OXP Pro Mini with 3 houses. -
Ultimately it's all we can do. Nvidia only makes GPUs they don't care about the low end. They want/need margins. AMD makes low end cards because APUs aren't a point where you can go who needs a lower end than an entry level APU works well enough.
