Yeah I don’t have a problem with giving credit to engineers if it’s a good thing like this. It’s when it directly gives evil people like that more wealth and power.

Jeff Bezos is a very evil man and I don’t want to touch or support anything that benefits him with a million foot pole.

Imagine if it were Musk or Trump or worse. I have a hard time accepting that, ethically.

I love trucks, and the electrification of everything, sustainable infrastructure and energy. But it has to serve the wellness and the future of the people, not a fucking evil billionaire who is going to turn around and choke us all to death as slaves while the takes over the world.

And as much as I really love stuff like this, engineering and sociologically, and would have idolized this as a teenager and bought it blindly could I have afforded it then, I’m an adult now and have a pretty strong sense of social responsibility to my fellow citizens and the future wellness of both people individually and society. And I just… It’s really hard to justify buying or advertising or supporting or even wanting stuff like this if the net outcome is just gonna be the same old, same old.

Like, I don’t want a Tesla anymore. Not only because their quality has dropped SIGNIFICANTLY, but also because the company refused to drop musk after all of his literally political interference and throwing up multiple sig heils or heil hitlers or whatever the fucking Nazi salute.

So when I ask “is this Jeff Bezos’s truck?” And the answer is “he’s an investor”, I really don’t think anybody should be promoting it or talking about it irresponsibly without considering the ethical concerns and track records of these far alt right billionaire backed corporations.

And unfortunately, I still see way too much of it.

I get that people are sick of horrible shit and life is short and these are nice things… But repeated exceptionalism and social irresponsibility are EXACTLY how we got here in the first place. I’m disgusted, disappointed, frustrated, angry, and sad.

I need good news. Not head-in-sand and keep-shitting-in-the-house-because-it-feels-good.

Jeff Bezos’s truck?

It has been a LONG time since I did any real math and never took statistics, but wouldn’t x^(-1) just be 1/(x)? I don’t know if that equates to “everything that isn’t x”. I feel like there’s a specific way to write that, but a negative exponent is not that, I don’t think, but also I have no idea.

I looked it up. Looks like this stuff is maybe from set theory? Which I sooorrrrt of remember doing at some point?

My best guess is your professor either said something from this, or you misremembered, or I’m totally off base and I’m still curious.

FUCKING GOOD.

STOP BUILDING EVIL SHIT.

That’s just what a bot would say to get us to continue interacting with it!

Can’t tell if sarcasm…

So I’ll answer as if not… But, yes, he was. That was one of the huge, lifelong scandals of his. The constant plastic surgeries, him denying it or coming up with excuses, everybody knowing the immense pressure of his childhood. His story really was really really sad, all the way to the end.

And even with all the scandals and very probable evils he did, he’s still considered the King of Pop.

The dancing, the music videos, the music(!)… Did you know that before him, music videos for songs basically weren’t stories at all? Yet his were all basically short films. And I’m pretty sure Thriller is still the best selling album of all time, and an absolute masterpiece.

And even today, the numbers of dances in NEW videogames that are all Michael Jackson dances.

Yeah we can only hope it’s going to be better, each type has their pros and cons, but Valve is also known to innovate, so… Cross your fingers I guess

Fuck you this is my idea

We wouldn’t want them to run out of money… Or life, would we?

Apparently the thumbsticks were actually shite? Mine never went out, but I’ve heard from other people.

I think what sanpo meant was the actual tracking of the headset and controllers, since the index used base stations PLUS accelerometers, giving them VERY precise location and movement. Whereas the frame controllers seem to be only inside-out optical, maybe with accelerometers?

We will have to wait and see. With them being better or worse than the index, we’ll have to wait and see. I’m still excited.

The entire index kit was 1000 before all the bullshit… iirc, you could buy just the headset for like 650, because the base stations were like 100 each and the controllers were separate too. My memory is a little fuzzy on that… But let’s say 1000 for all of it. Putting the frame, with all extras at like… 800 target price point before all the fascism scarcities, and considering the about price-doubling of ram, would put it at right about the same price as the steam machine? Maybe if they were targeting 600, it might be like 1000 now?

Is cool and good. Valve isn’t fucking you and they aren’t giving you a handout. Prices of computer parts are bad across the board and likely only going to get worse.

I really don’t get why people are hating on it so much. Maybe it’s reality sinking in, that all the whining of sjws really does matter? Is this the MUH GAS PRICES argument but for gamers? Fuck AI. Fuck Nazis.

Just ban AI already

It’s all consequential to me. Nothing is without rhyme or reason and it is all interconnected.

The human body needs water to survive. Perhaps you are different.

Does the pope shit in the woods?

I can SMELL this room. Like ink toner, burnt dust, ozone, and slightly cooked plastic.

Also, yes and no. There were many positives and negatives. I just really fucking hate the fascist politics and the absolute horseshit that has enabled to proper and grow. In many ways, it’s like we all died in 2016 and this is a parallel nightmare dimension leading to really bad shit.

Do I miss those days, like in that picture? In some ways, yes, but in many ways, no.

If that doesn’t truly make sense to you, you aren’t old enough to understand and I’m not about to explain it.

Probably decided not to do that. I’m curious of their reason(s).

Depressing as shit. Fuck AI.

Couldn’t believe it when I was told it’s MAD-RASS
