The image being so small makes it funnier.

Leveraged buyouts are so stupid to me. "Hi, I'd like to buy this company, but since it will be my company, the company needs to have the debt, not me. So if it goes wrong, well, that's the company's fault, not mine." Should be illegal.
I have a theory that it's partly because a bunch of older StackOverflow answers have more votes than newer ones using new features. More referring to not using relatively new features as much as it should.
The people talking about AI coding the most at my job are architects and it drives me insane.
The following is just a really odd way to convince someone of something in my opinion.
- "China is one of the countries with the highest approval of their government by independent studies."
- Government approval is inversely correlated with poverty and terrible living conditions.
- Therefore it is unlikely that "they def aren't living like this"
It's also especially odd if you're mentioning independent studies. Are there not independent studies about the living conditions?
And to be clear, I don't even disagree with you. I think a lot of westerners are affected by racist/orientalist views (or whatever you wanna call them) without realizing it. It just felt like a strange way to counter the thought process.
If I'd known that I would've bought it years earlier.
As long as you have a TV made after the digital conversion in like 2008, stick a paperclip into the antenna connector and get free channels. Seriously. You'll be surprised how well it works. A real antenna is better and they're cheap too. I do this and watch Telemundo for background noise and a little bit of Spanish learning.
Their comment wasn't about government approval.
I remember after I left the movie as a teenager with my parents two older dudes were bickering about whether poor people in our actual world are able to escape poverty or not if they work hard.
I don't see the problem with that balance. You shouldn't be hoarding cheese as an adventurer for healing or for selling. Something like a potion should be used for healing and should be appropriately expensive.
That said, I agree gameplay is more important and economic simulation, I just don't think the example was the best. It's already off that in games like Skyrim we collect random trinkets until we can't carry anything else and sell it all to any random shop keeper. It's weird and, to be honest, not actually fun. (Mildly hot take.) Finding and selling things that are actually rare is fine. Like weapons, gems, etc.
Because as an adventurer you're not a peasant. You're an adventurer. It's a high risk high reward profession that's difficult to get into.
I don't really care if people use it, it's more that it feels like a quarter of our architect meeting presentations are about something AI related. It's just exhausting.
