This study shows that playing an open-world game, such as The The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and nostalgia evoked by Studio Ghibli films significantly foster a sense of exploration and calm in life, as well as a feeling of mastery and skill, and purpose and meaning, hence ultimately contributing positively to one’s overall happiness in life.

So the chronological order will be:

  • John Rambo
  • First Blood
  • Rambo: First Blood Part II
  • Rambo III
  • Rambo
  • Rambo: Last Blood

Perfection. I just hope they do a sequel to Last Blood too.

It’s been happening for a long time, probably won’t end during our lifetimes.

Liberals are against capitalism now? What?

Americans are lucky their Orban is so bad at this. The next American Orban won’t be.

That’s an anecdote again though. Nobody is talking about forcing people to use them either, or at least I hope so because you never know what Yanks come up with these days.

The argument made is anecdotal and subject to self-selection bias. In general basic wearables for everyone sounds like a very good idea, even if it’s coming from the worst people possible.

I know it feels good, playing a tough guy on the internet, but this kind of attitude has a counterproductive effect on getting out of a crisis of democracy. You’re lost deep in magical thinking. I know this from experience of a US vassal that served as a laboratory for what conservatives are playing out in the rest of the world currently.

You're conflating your opinions with things that I give a fuck about.

If you aren’t interested in hearing opinions different to your own you might opt to write a blog and store it on a piece of paper under a secret rock.

That explains the wall to wall happiness, and sky high presidential approval ratings.

Seems to be doing relatively fine for the amount of dumb stuff he does on daily basis. Elections are the only objective poll. Definitely not at the levels required to make people boycott companies based on gifts given by the CEO.

Nonsequitur unrelated to the topic at hand.

Americentrism at it’s best. Apple sells things outside of US, a shocker, I know. We also have other luxuries, like toilet paper and bicycles.

LLMs are being sold as a service already. I have utmost faith that someone will come up with some kind of snake oil (call it QPU tentatively) and say your phone is obsolete if it doesn’t have one.

You’re confusing your personal opinions with opinions of majority, and it’s the majority that Apple is concerned about because they create mass market devices to sell them. Last I checked Trump won the popular vote which is a bit of an indicator where the majority in the US is. Rest of the world isn’t that into US domestic politics.

There are easier ways - getting rid of modem, replacing OLED in favour of LCD, maybe even non-metal shell. They won’t cut RAM because it’s required for „AI” and we’re still in that hype cycle.
