The internet is a terrible place, but every once in awhile you stumble across something neat. Like a high quality recording of a Depeche Mode concert you happened to be at 27 years ago.

When you're a kid, you get this idea from media that the investor class is full of super-smart people who read the tea leaves of markets and make a fortune from 20 bucks or whatever, and when you grow up you realize that they're all just idiot gamblers and the richest of them get to stack the deck.
as we saw with Elon Musk, observe how the prominent pundits at the forefront of building up unrealistic tech mythologies pivot immediately on a dime to pretend they wisely warned you of trouble the whole time

Everyone in prison today for simple possession should be immediately released, with restitution, access to good addiction treatment and expunged records.
The cells should be filled with white collar criminals instead.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

This thread provides actual knowledge for things that I had a vague gut feeling about -- and many things that never would have occurred to me -- about the more affordable Japanese PS5. But Japanese Gen Z playing 3DS more than PS5 illustrates how much of an uphill battle *Sony* faces at home.
It brought a younger audience who hadn’t looked at a PlayStation in over a decade back, but there lies the problem
It’s been true for a few years but was reaffirmed in the industry report this year, but young people do not care for PlayStation. At all
Gen Z (now almost 30), plays 3DS more than PS5

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

My first Real Job was working claims for a Tricare insurer in the mid-90s. Part of that job was denying claims for any reason I could find, including a misspelling of a dependent's name. Which I often "forgot" to do.

On Monday 04.11.2025 I uninstalled Microsoft Copilot from one of my test PCs with Windows 11. After restarting that PC on that same day, it REINSTALLED ITSELF again. Listen Microsoft - when I uninstall something from my PC it means I do not want it. Trash tier OS with this stuff.
