Wasn’t it like… they lifted that many out of “extreme poverty” which they classify as anything less than $2.30/day?

I mean, cool, cool. But also, you’re not in poverty in China if you make $3/day, huh?

My old coworker used to say this all the time back around 2018:

"What’s the difference between AI and machine learning?

Machine learning is done in Python. AI is done in PowerPoint."

Standard autobot documentation. Nice, nice. What’s your TC?

It’s easy to get grumpy at mods, but lord knows I’m not gonna mod this cesspit, so… Idk… Sucks to be you.

It’s just a cacophony of male birds literally shouting it over each other all day from sunrise to sunset.

Nature is so beautiful 😍

Never approach a woman under any circumstances lest you run the risk of unintentionally making her fear for her life, gotcha. Just ignore women unless they approach you first. They’re scared of you because you’re a member of the dangerous sex, and that’s just all there is to it.

I can imagine a social butterfly looking down on nerds. Although I gotta level with you: that sounds like something that would primarily occur in high school to me. Maybe you’re grown and still dealing with that, but either way: using the term normies is not going to help at all, I assure you.

That’s neither here nor there and sidesteps the point. Also, depending on how you define normies and nerds, it’s a bit silly. You can’t imagine a random person being worked up by being called names online. I mean, okay, if you say so.

Have someone refer to you as a normie and lmk if it feels neutral or derogatory.

And by commenting this, you’re now on top with the superiority complex, lol. Getting to feel superior to both of us, bravo.

Yeah, OP was for sure putting people down with this meme. You’re arguing in bad faith here, putting aside the very obvious for the sake of having an argument.

Using the term “normies” paints you as having a superiority complex, which isn’t the best look.

Given a bit of lead time, I believe the slower ship may avoid capture if there are any sort of obstacles like an island or rocks.

However, if we’re talking perfectly flat ocean with no time limit, no obstacles and pefect decision making: I’m guessing the faster ship eventually catches up, as turning from far away doesn’t slow your persuer much.

Are you contending that boomers don’t use the internet and, therefore, were sheltered for decades? Because I assure you they’re very present in right wing spaces online.

I dont understand the central idea that boomers have lived through less. It sounds like a ridiculous premise that minimizes the experiences of millions.

I’d never heard of S mode until my aging mother needed to get on a Zoom call with her doctor, and I couldn’t install the app on her laptop because of it.

I set her up to use the web browser mode instead. Leaving it on was for the best at that point. I kinda figured S mode meant senior mode like for old people or something, idk. It certainly prevented her from installing anything bad by accident: and it was just a youtube and email thing for her anyway.

I’m 60 hours deep on Palworld less than two weeks in while maintaining a full-time job. I don’t buy games to make statements, I buy them because they’re fun to play. And this particular one really is a ton of fun to play. Yes, they’re clearly ripping off pokémon and breath of the wild and elden ring, and I’m sure a few other games. But it’s a lot of fun nonetheless.

He’s looking sharp as a tack, alright. Now shut up and color, kids. You’re nowhere near as mentally up to it as these pros.

Okay now, if someone could please help the honorable gentleman from Kentucky with his diaper… thank you!

There was a fun video that got a lot of public views from WebMD in the last ~week. Wherein some of the execs appeared to be mandating RTO from a green screen of an office.

Just the biggest example that comes immediately to mind.

Obviously it’s not the same as something like heroin or benzos but it’s more than just more dreams.

It’s not even the same as caffeine, my dude.

Wow, you remember vivid dreams. That’s clearly withdrawl.

…In the most technical sense, only. You’re technically correct, the best form of correct. Which is pretty much the definition of pedantry.
