    The rallies also offer no challenge. Interviews, potentially, have tough questions or a hostile audience. He enjoys the rallies because it’s just bunch of people propping up his ego without giving one shit about what he says.

    Handy tip:

    In the USA, the lines on a highway are 10 ft long, the spaces between them are 30 ft.

    So, a line and a space are about two car lengths. It’s a handy way to judge how close you are to the car ahead. At highway speeds, you want 3-4 lines between you.

    I have the instance blocked. Nice thing about Lemmy, you can vote with your attention. When toxic bubbles pop up, you can ignore them en masse. Any collateral blocking doesn’t bother me. [insert Nazi party meme]

    Deficits only matter to Republicans when there’s an election. They know it’s not a problem. They also know that the average working and middle-class voter here’s “debt” and gets scared. Scared people are more likely to vote Republican.

    I’m not saying it’s a bad idea but it’s interesting how similar that is to cable TV.

    Of course, cable TV was largely ad-free at first then you ended up paying for it and getting ads.

    Both previous games definitely had MacOS ports or I’ve been hallucinating for hours in front of my computer monitor. They also had Switch and PlayStation ports.

    EDIT: Also verified on Steam Deck.

    That’s not how you calculate profit. Their revenue might exceed their costs so far but they have to keep spending. The game isn’t done and it costs money to just keep the lights on.

    Look, I don’t know their financials. I’m just correcting what you claimed and pointing out what the article is claiming which is that their spending appears to be outpacing their revenue.

    If Haley had any spine she’d turn on him during the event. Or, do something to tank his campaign. She knows how awful he is for the country.

    More likely, she’ll kiss the ass for a chance at a cabinet position and political future.

    As of 2022, according to its financials, the company has spent $637 million on development, with 2020 – 2022 averaging over $106 million a year. Assuming that the company continues spending around $100+ million a year, it doesn’t take a mathematician to realize that the $790 million raised so far at the time of writing is on the verge of, or has likely, run out.

    No, the article is claiming $700M in development costs—based on $637M spent by 2022–and $790M raised. They’re speculating that the company is going to run out of money soon.

    JD Vance is the tech bro VC candidate. There’s a huge difference between Tim Cook and 90s boom era tech bros. Apple’s success doesn’t give a fuck about middle-school mentality masculinity. Not every tech company is so insecure.

  • Movies with the widest gap between ranks given by women and men.

    Gender rank, I think, is how high in the list they’d put the movies with 1 being the best movie.

    So, a movie that women rank 40 and men rank 400 means women liked it much more—delta of 360.

    The far left Rank is the one with the biggest delta for depending on gender preference. The top list is female preferred, bottom male preferred.
