Surely there has to be a level of expenditure where they just can't reasonably make this back, right?
Like the debt these hyperscalers are in to their investors at this moment surpasses the debt of entire countries, yet they somehow expect to make this all back and then some??
So much gas-lighting going on from Trump's Whitehouse over the Iran war its ridiculous.
If Iran is still controlling the Strait of Hormuz to the point where they can use reopening it as a negotiation tool - then with all sincerity you haven't won shit.
Billions a week are being spent on a war that was completely unnecessary, leading to negotiations so bad they make the Obama administration look like masterminds for being half-competent at the job.
... And all this bullshit occurred just so Trump could distract from him being a paedophile - but if being treasonous cunt wasn't enough to get him in prison, I doubt being a pedo will do much either.
Honestly, I do feel you OP.
While I can tolerate large gatherings and small talk, I really don't enjoy them at all. It can be overwhelming and exhausting at times, and IMO I'd rather be at home alone than do those things.
The only reason I like where I work is because I get on really well with the two other people in my office.
And that leads to the kind of social interaction I actually enjoy - socialising and doing things in small groups with people I know well.
I'm not suggesting this'll be your panacea, but perhaps you need to find that for yourself. A small group of trusted friends you can just let yourself relax with.
Man suggesting that people who mask a lot are evil on the inside is horrible.
Speaking from personal experience I was bullied a lot when I was younger because I was naive, socially awkward, and had nerdy hobbies. That made me mask a lot, especially around people I didn't know too well - and that can absolutely feel exhausting. While I don't mask as much nowadays, partially because I'm learning to stop giving a fuck, I still suffer a lot of the social anxiety associated with those days, to the point that I still have a stress stutter.
I enjoy socialising in small groups with people I know, but I don't enjoy large gatherings, so I can empathise with OP somewhat.
Tell you what that Rsync thread is just a goldmine.
While I'm generally not one to complain about something I'm getting for free, and I do understand the dev wanting to make more efficient use of their time...
I don't think people are wrong here expressing their annoyance at what was previously feature complete and stable software being vibe-code updated into a buggy mess.
... And that's without mentioning the ethical and security issues posed by vibe-coded software.
Well duh. Whatever your thoughts may be on those who chose their vote purely based on Gaza, it is an undeniable fact that it played a not insignificant part in their loss to the orange paedophile.
Of course they don't want to admit that essentially ignoring their ally's genocide screwed them over... Because admitting that officially means they'd have to do something about it.
Great. Sabotage the collective intelligence of humanity so they can sell it back to us. Seems like either the bubble pops or we do.
Selection by competition and "the free market" work as great ideas if you assume said competitors are all on an equal playing field.
Problem is they're almost certainly not. Big players will always leverage their resources to skew the playing field towards themselves - they'll get laws changed to make entry prohibitive, then they'll force exclusivity with suppliers and tank losses to put any survivors out of business.
All in the conquest to make themselves as legally close to a monopoly as they're allowed to be... And that's assuming they don't start out as one artificially cough British Telecom cough.
You can be one step sadder...

American milk companies have paid for this. When Americans buy milk, a small fraction of that is going towards this website.
Critical reception was polarised, with praise towards the performances and Noé's direction, but criticism towards its graphic portrayal of violence and rape. American film critic Roger Ebert called Irréversible "a movie so violent and cruel that most people will find it unwatchable".
Yeah, I think I understand where you're coming from on this one. Definitely not for the feint of heart.
Considering the US military is quite literally the highest funded in the world by a league of its own, you know you've fucked up somewhere when that still isn't enough money.
Maybe its a good economic strategy to not get into pointless wars to distract from the very top brass being a "friend of Epstein"
