Dems could run Jesus Christ himself and half the country would still reject him

I mean, that is undeniably true, but we've known that for a lot longer than two days.

It is a universal axiom that any question starting with "Will Trump ever face consequences for..." can be answered with "no".

If, instead of prison, Trump was faced with a free luxury mansion on a private island and a $1B/yr pension to live out the rest of his years Epstein style, Kamala may have had a chance. As soon as the alternative included a hint of repercussions for his actions, the universe simply could not allow it.

People with lots of time and friends prefer multiplayer games more than people with little time and friends. Go figure.

Idk, a tablespoon is the largest spoon-based unit

I mean, what other type of controller would you buy on PC if you're looking to buy a game controller? Unless you're not including 3rd party controllers as "console controllers". Afaik, the xbox pro controller is still considered the best controller to use on PC, and while it is made by Microsoft, it's not a controller that comes with the console.

The PC controller market just isn't large enough to support pc-only controllers. Of course the recommendation is to always buy a console controller, pc controllers don't exist! 😂

Yes, I know some games have their own controller type like flight sticks, game pads, and OSU, but nobody is seriously using those for rocket league and elden ring.

Ideally, you set aside 3 to 6 months worth of your typical monthly spending to cover (some) emergencies and job loss, then invest everything else. 401(k) is still tax advantaged in the same way as an IRA, and you can typically do roth contributions to a 401(k) too. So there are benefits to going above your employer match.

But, you're right that you don't want to trap all of your money into a retirement account either. You'll probably want to make large purchases like a car or house. In that case, you plan out a timeline and invest in less risky things depending on how far out you plan to purchase said thing.

The overall idea of "invest in index funds as much as possible" can be applied generally, but the amount that you contribute and in which types of accounts heavily depends on the individual.

I just wanted to point out that 401(k)s without employer matching are basically just IRAs with high yearly caps because it took me a few years to realize that, and I fancied myself financially literate. It can be a good idea to contribute more, so long as you don't need the money elsewhere.

As best as you can, max out Roth IRA with an S&P 500 fund like VOO or a targeted date index fund. Also contribute to a 401(k) as much as possible.

The post is saying it's difficult to discover lemmy without someone telling you about it. It's not really about searching lemmy.

Lol, I'm not from Germany but I seriously doubt they'd fail you in a driving test because you put the car in neutral before you start it. That's just ridiculous.

The headline focuses on the wrong thing. Making a bunch of crappy songs and uploading the to Spotify and other streaming services is perfectly legal, AI or not.

The illegal part is that he created lots and lots of fake accounts that constantly streamed his songs and masked them to look like authentic listens. So much so that he was making $110k per month. That is straight-up fraud, which is what he was arrested for.

It has nothing to do with AI, but that makes more people click on the article.

This is truly an altruistic act.

Title is somewhat misleading. It's not for anything video-related. It's for using a (probably free) photo of actress Cuca Escribano without permission.
