"In the beginning the Universe was created. This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move." - Douglas Adams

I like to think the vendors resell them around their connections. Like this guy bought them at 5 gold each. He sells them to a distributor for 7 gold. The distributor sells them to cheese vendors and chefs for 10 gold.

And that's why you only get half the price when you resell your items.

AI trains using AI generated articles on repeat. Have you seen what happens to a YouTube video when you download and reupload a video over and over again?

For anyone unfamiliar, that's the Anarcho-capitalism flag. It's basically libertarianism, the biggest difference is that they call themselves anarcho-capitalist instead of libertarians. Maybe because the American libertarian party is bat-shit crazy, and I can see not wanting to be associated with that despite having similar beliefs.

I think more people need to approach it like this. Human's minds are designed to think with their group and resistant to change. If you actually want to change minds, insults and accusations will immediately put them into fight mode and they will defend their ideology. But if you don't attack their ideals and approach in a friendly kind of way, it will lead them to questioning their leader's choices. It's hard, I know. Their leader has made some shoot-themselves-in-the-foot choices and makes their conviction an easy target to attack. Insults and attacks may even be a way of letting off steam, but if you actually want change, it has to be a smart and kinder approach. It won't be an immediate change, but it will be gradual and large over time.

Can NYT or someone sue for libel? That's defamation with false information. I'm not looking for a fine, but an order requiring them to say they were wrong and published false information. Then NYT can publish that tweet in their headline.

This was published in 2018. They publish prophecies.

Headline 3 years from now: "Huffing Steam Deck vent fumes linked to increased risk of cancer" (Only when done habitually)

Ads: "Have you or a loved one huffed Steam Deck fumes? You may be entitled to compensation."

Valve: Goddamnit. You fucking addicts couldn't stop huffing the vents. WE FUCKING TOLD YOU! It's safe for normal usage. NORMAL usage. Not heroine addict levels of usage!

In my first CS class, the professor announced an extra credit project due at the end of the semester. It was to create a formatted terminal calendar given a year from user input. I finished it after learning about condition but before I learned about classes... or functions... or loops... or searching the internet... partially. I searched how leap years worked, but didn't bother to search for code (Stack Overflow didn't exist yet)

Anyway, long ass program with each month hard-coded with 7 possible calendars for each month depending on the first day of the week. Lots of copy and paste. Professor was speechless, but accepted it.
