Isn’t their current level of inflation now what it was at when they decided it was time to enact emergency measures? measures that are still in place yet haven’t prevented inflation from continuing to rise.

The sad thing is something like diehard has a pretty nuanced plot compared to last few years of avengers movies.

I still have my 3700X and it keeps up well enough with a 4070 even on cyberpunk.

Because recent movies suck, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, classic movies with just enough special effects to look good but not enough that spectacle compltely replaces plot. Basically everything in the predator/terminator/first 3 diehards time period.

The last time Ukraine was under Russian rule there was a literal genocide, so their backs are kind of against the wall, any peace with Russia is just a re-armament period until the next invasion.

There are some ancient relics from back before the humans went all culty and actually knew things. Those relics are shit like moon sized battle stations and guns that shoot blackholes (slightly backwards through time so their percieved arival is instantanious). All the stuff like city sized mechs and tower block sized tanks used to be fodder tier standard troops. So actually encouraging the humans to know things or think critically is just about the worst thing the elves can do considering the human state is really xenocidal.

I’ve just been watching older movies, there’s this amazing sweet spot when CGI just became a thing where the visual effects are passable but not so prevelant that the entire plot gets replaced with pointless explosions.

Meta is the only VR space for anyone not able/willing to spend as much on a VR headset as a mid range desktop (especially when that VR headset might not even function without the addition of a mid range desktop), and for people who want VR and a vague semblence of privacy there isn’t really any affordable headset at all.

British primary schools used to have something called ‘problem solving’ it was usually a simple maths problem described in words that required some degree of critical thinking to solve. e.g. A frog is at the bottom of a 30m well, it climbs 7m each day but in the night it slides 3m back down in its sleep. You can’t just calculate 30/(7-3) because it doesn’t account for the day the frog gets over the top and thus doesn’t slide back down in its sleep.

Not the most complex problem but pretty good for kids under 10 to start getting the basics.
