I don’t recommend investing to anyone, because this is absolutely bound to happen. I just say “Hey, I invest via [broker], and mostly in broad ETFs”.
If they want advice, I’ll tell them anything except for names, because the minute I do, they’ll buy, the price will drop and they’ll sell and get angry at me.
Meh, I bought a few t-shirts for 3 bitcoins way back when.
Of course, I never would have held on to them till 100k. I would have sold a dozen times over between 10 euros and 100.000 euros.
What? That’s completely wrong.
If it was set up as a currency, it was set up entirely wrong. There is a capped amount of bitcoin, and over time bitcoin will dissapear. That means a smaller supply will represent equal value (well not really, since it isn’t backed by anything), meaning it’s deflationary.
Deflationary assets are by definitions bad currency and great investments.
A big feature AND problem with the live-service market is that gamers STAY engaged with the games. The majority of players play your random RTS for a few weeks, maybe a month, and then move on. But these live service hero shooters keep pumping out content to keep players invested and build in a ton of engagement sinks so you won’t leave.
As a result, you can’t have “The next Marvel Rivals” like you had “The next Command and Conquer” or “The next Battlefield”, because everyone is still playing the current Marvel Rivals. That results in a completely saturated market. If you want a player, you’re going to have to drag them away from their current game, which they’re comfortable with and have a massive investment in.
If you’re releasing the next Assassin’s Creed, you don’t need to be amazing, you just need to wait for people to finish the last one and deliver something pretty nice. Maybe it’s better, maybe it’s worse, but the field is empty so who cares. For Live-Service, you don’t just need to be better than the rest, you need to be sufficiently better that all the players are willing to abandon their huge investment in the other game and switch to you.
And well, your game might dissapear any second, while their game has been around for years and surely will stay around foreeeever.
Not for dinner though.
Oh yeah, you’re right!
Here in the Netherlands I’ve never seen it not come in a tub.
Where does creme cheese come in blocks?
To run it in a circle is the same as leaving it to sit stagnant in a bowl except with extra dust collected from the air.
Some cats will genuinely drink more from moving water. Other cats love water with some waterplants in it. And yet more cats would rather lick from muddy puddles than drink fresh clean water.
Regardless, these fountains usually have filters.
Rig up a constantly dripping faucet and maybe your cat’s kidneys will stop failing after a few years.
Cats as a species have weak kidneys. Cat kidney failure is kinda like human cardiovascular disease. Older humans get, the more likely their cardiovascular system gives out, and the older cats get, the more likely their kidneys are to fail.
Dust in water is not a contributor to kidney failure unless you work on a lilly farm or aspirin factory or something.
Not at all. I’m saying you should interact and stand behind your interactions.
For example, you downvoted my post, which is fine. You also replied, which is also fine. Why is it bad that one isn’t on your profile (but it is public) and the other is openly visible in a list on your profile?
Interactions are by default public, otherwise there’s no point to interacting. I’d go one further and say that having the voting information public but not visible by default is by far the worst option.
i find it concerning because this enables creating a very detailed profile of a users interests, political alignment, medical issues, sexual orientation etc. Even if they never post anything!
So don’t interact. What you read isn’t stored, but if you interact, it should be public.
For example I accidentally upvoted a really disgusting NSFW post misclicking on my phone.
I agree that it’s dumb you don’t have a “my votes” page where you can remove that. But you can go to said post and just remove your vote.
I used to have an open litterbox, but my cat needed about two meters of scratching to “bury” their poop. Floor, bookcase, wall, anything.
Now that I have a covered box, they mostly stop at the wall.
Downvoting is a mental disorder.
That’s hilarious and simultaneously really sad
Why is that concerning? The whole system was meant to be transparent
So, you prefer Freud to Nietzsche?
There’s a move button? Why?
And also, why is that person using AutoCad, when they clearly should be given a fancy table and some different sizes of pencil.
Gekoloniseerd makker!
This is literally what we do in the Netherlands though. There’s a bigger and bigger push to group underground works from multiple parties to reduce cost and nuisance
If you value stuff like safety and the environment, there’s also regulations.
I just realized I’m an adult too. Hmmmmm
