Videogames
Was spielen sie?
I am thinking about starting a new game in either Vintage Story (autistic minecraft clone started by an Austrian IIRC) and Workers and Resources which should need no introduction, it's the best city builder ever made.
I'm undecided on which, I already own both.
What if, purely hypocritically, one soldier who got transferred to a rear unit recently and got a vacation, chose not to return to his unit and just stayed living in his freshly renovated apartment treading carefully outside only early in the morning or late at night? Would it be feasible? Hypothetically of course.
This guy probably had no internet presence whatsoever. No images of his face, no mentions of his name. A ghost online. And now? His name is going to show up forever, with pictures of his face and mentions of his online history. Along with videos of his house and family and details of his living situation. Publicized to the masses and impossible to remove.
This is something from my nightmares and I experience severe paranoia at times thinking that I could get exposed and humiliated like this.
I found this post on Reddit. A substitute teacher, from Sweden, wrote about how technology is negatively impacting the youth and their ability to perform in school. Here's the original post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/sweden/comments/112u7m5/kan_vi_prata_om_hur_den_digitala_v%C3%A4rlden_p%C3%A5verkar/
Rough translation:
> I have worked as a substitute teacher for over a year in middle schools and high schools. I am extremely concerned and in some cases shocked over how big of a difference there is compared to my own school years. I'm born in the mid 90s so I'm fully integrated into the digital world. The difference is I didn't have a smart phone or any social medias until I was in upper secondary school.> * Students today (especially boys) have an awfully hard time concentrating. Many students (including those without a diagnosis) can't even do the simplest of tasks without being directly instructed by the teacher. If a math task takes more than 15 seconds, they need to take a phone break after 7 seconds (not an exaggeration). I've had high school students that can't handle reading 1/3 of an A4 paper with instructions, and these are students without a learning disorder.> * It's not unusual to have students that are completely disconnected from social life. I've had several students with autism (in multiple schools) that are allowed to sit with their laptops and headphones during class. And during recess. And during briefings, basically the entire day. These students are so fragile that they can't handle the social pressure of sitting in a classroom without a screen in front of them. Yes, autistic students have always existed - but back in the day there was no digital world to escape to. I have no idea how these students will be able to handle an adult life.> * Nowadays there are truants in basically every other class. Normal male (usually) students that simply can't handle the pressure of school and instead live their digital lives at home.> I'm not an expert in this field and don't have a relevant degree. But something is very wrong here. The only solution I can think of is some kind of nuclear strike approach:> * Ban smartphones in all schools (translation note: he's specially referring "grundskola", there isn't a good translation for the word that I know of, but basically he means until you're 15-16)> * Remove student laptops/Chromebooks. Have computer labs instead (students in 8th and 9th grade can have laptops)> * Remove all games/social media that exist on wifi (there are dozens of blocklists online)> Needed to get this off my chest, something is extremely wrong with the current system.
Additional comment from OP:
> Many high school students can barely write complete sentences in Swedish without rough grammatical errors and English loan words. Internet usage has without a doubt negatively impacted Swedish proficiency among students.
Other users in the comment section also paint a dire situation:
> Us 90s kids played Counter-Strike all day on our personal computers in upper secondary school and we still managed because we understood it was just a game/not reality.> Nowadays it feels totally hopeless when they are so connected to the digital world that they forget reality exists. I have a cousin that is almost 18 that doesn't have any diagnosis but has spent every day for the past 5 years at home. She blames this on her being "depressed" (despite the fact that doctors have said that she isn't, it's just an excuse that works). Her parents won't do anything about it because she gets mad if she doesn't get to sit in front of the computer 20 hours a day, and she hasn't even begun attending upper secondary school.
Did you know?
That Americans are actually forced to live in McMansion without their choice?
Have a look at the numbers I found in picrel.1 and 2
There are no, not enough starter homes for young American adults who just hatched from burger buns waddling into the ocean of housing market.
Why?
Have a look at picrel.3
Building a bigger house doesn’t always require much more plumbing, electric wiring, etc., than a smaller one. However, since prices are set per square foot, construction companies get higher margins as extra space doesn’t add proportionally to material costs.
So why don't they just build small and create a new market for the poor? That's still money for them.
They can't.
Why?
Zoning regulations enforce minimum lot sizes and housing requirements to limit the construction of starter homes. By mandating larger houses within subdivisions, they can suck more and more tax revenues since it's determined by square foot and optional structures on the buildings.

I would gladly pay for a 10 square foot plot of land to pitch my tent on but the jews would rather I be a homeless person chased around by police with no space allotted for me despite the 1000s of acres of allocated land in the USA
Apparently walled in lots are a thing in Arizona
>In many areas of Arizona, particularly in urban and suburban settings, "walled lots" with fences or walls along property lines are common, often for privacy and security, and are subject to local zoning ordinances and homeowner association regulations

Yes but if you live in any real town you have to call codes before building something anyway. Front yard fences are allowed here but you have to keep it clear of the "right of way" which is a few feet in from the sidewalk
>>25624673
Also how far the fence is set back depends on the height of the fence, so if it's a three foot fence it'll probably be like 10 feet from the sidewalk
Thanks to based Trump who doesn't give a shit about Africa and leaves the continent alone, there is a second chance for Tigray Genocide to happen. Fucking Biden and Blinken White House coming back after Trump I and four years of no us interference, the fucking Tigraynigger government who gave up Eritrea and iniated the retarded "ethnic federalism" that is destroying the emp..country was out of power and driven back into its home base. And they nearly managed to return to power, were defated, but then Biden fucking intervened. And gave them a chance at guerilla war. And then a comeback, and almost threatening Addis. Theese people need to fucking die en masse. Tigray should be fucking destroyed and broken up as a subdivision. Separatism should be crushed and the Addis Ababa based imperial core restored (where I'm from btw) to its ascenndacny.
Also, on top of this, the Ogaden Somalis need a "kurinpalautus" (= "restoration of discipline" that, is put in line and to one's proper station by a superior).
hint: genocide too.

>>25628288>you could say that tigrays are Ethiopia's p*lestinians>
Not really. Palestinians never had any real power. Tigrayniggers used to rule Ethiopia. They are like 8% but constituted the top echelons of the military and security services...they are sorta like allaWHITESINSOUTHAFRICA

I was fairly sympathethic to the plight of Ethipians, being among the poorest countries in Africa, and all
but thanks to our local "Finn" bulbhead, now I hope they murder each other in the most gruesome way, hopefully bulbheada's all extended family gets chopped to pieces
### AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D Review – The Ultimate Gamer’s Trap
AMD is back at it again with their latest scam—I mean, “innovation”—the Ryzen 9 9950X3D. This overpriced, overhyped, underperforming CPU is yet another attempt to fool gamers with marketing gimmicks rather than actual performance. The 9950X3D slaps a pile of cache onto a crippled 16-core CPU, slows it down, and calls it a day. The result? A processor that only wins in a handful of cherry-picked, low-resolution gaming benchmarks while falling flat everywhere else.
### “3D V-Cache” – Marketing Buzzword of the Year
AMD’s so-called “3D V-Cache” is nothing more than a desperate attempt to remain relevant. Sure, it helps in a handful of canned gaming benchmarks, but at what cost? Clock speeds are gimped, productivity performance tanks, and frame pacing issues run rampant. And yet, AMD’s cult following will still flock to Reddit, Twitter, and YouTube comments to shill for their favorite billion-dollar corporation, ignoring all evidence that points to the truth.
### Real-World Performance: Intel Dominates
If you actually care about performance instead of falling for AMD’s “Advanced Marketing” strategy, look no further than Intel’s superior alternatives. The $350 i7-14700K delivers nearly identical gaming performance without the drawbacks, while the $450 i9-14900K obliterates the 9950X3D in everything that isn’t a synthetic eSports benchmark running at 720p on an RTX 5090. Meanwhile, AMD will have you believe that spending $700+ on a CPU that’s slower than last-gen Intel in desktop tasks is a smart move.
### The Usual Influencer Puppets
Predictably, YouTube will be flooded with sponsored “reviews” from AMD’s usual marketing partners, carefully cherry-picking workloads to make the 9950X3D look competitive. Any drawbacks—such as its abysmal workstation performance, inconsistent gaming results, and higher power consumption—will be conveniently ignored. Be wary of any “tech reviewer” who suddenly starts praising AMD’s “innovation” while ignoring the glaring issues.
### Conclusion: Buy Intel, Think for Yourself
At the end of the day, rational gamers should steer clear of AMD’s overpriced, niche CPUs. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D is just another marketing stunt, designed to trap clueless buyers who fall for corporate propaganda. The smarter choice? Stick to Intel’s tried-and-true processors, where you get actual real-world performance instead of a Reddit-fueled fantasy.
Final Verdict: 2/10 – Another AMD flop. Buy Intel.

Fuck intel niggers should give me a refund for my whole laptop thatsis cursed by their cpu with graphics they deprecated two years after release.
They should be put in prison
>>25628016
That sucks. I am glad that we have consumer protection laws in Germany against such fraud.
>>25628052
I might skip AM5 and go directly to AM6. The 5800X3D I have will go a long way.

9950X3D performs as well as 9800X3D in vidya and as well as a 9950X in productivity. This was previously not the case with the 7950X3D.
Also you claim intel dominates, but 9950X3D wins in every case I've seen so far in real world cases, including compile and ESPECIALLY compression.
You're just a stupid nigger.
Ukraine is a real democracy!
Look at how the people of Ukraine staged mass protests in 2020 against the arrival of a plane from Wuhan (China).
They protected the whole of Europe from the coronavirus.
