The part I have a hard time wrapping my head around is the fact that we all saw this coming for the last 4 years, and yet here we are...

I hope/choose to believe that the reason we're here is that those leading the charge in our justice system knew they not only had to have an airtight case, but it also had to slowly tear him down and erode his support.

There are plenty of leaders throughout history who were exiled, deposed, or voted out only to come back stronger than ever. By taking an extremely methodical approach to all of the legal challenges against Trump, they've forced him to spend the majority of his time, energy, and money on those battles.

As always, time will tell...

Disinformation via AI is going to be absurd, especially if Google keeps going down the path of "Here's an AI summary of search results". It's only a matter of time before someone figures out how to manipulate the AI through bad data.

Google has already lost the SEO war and they (supposedly) knew how their algorithms worked. How do they ever expect to control the AI black box?

You have some strangely in-depth shower thoughts.

It makes you wonder why he needs the payout. I just listened to a podcast about Michael Jackson (Timesuck if you're curious, highly recommend it) and he talked about how Jackson was in massive debt by the end and was prepping for a tour to make money to pay back his debts right before he died. The host pointed out it doesn't matter how rich you are, you can always overspend.

Obviously, at billionaire level the debt isn't going to be with luxuries and goods. Could it be debt to other billionaires or countries made under the table? He's shown in recent years that he's not the business genius he tried to pretend he was, so it wouldn't be that far fetched.

I'm ok with how Valve is doing things right now. If they followed the same path of EA, Blizzard, and every other big developer from the 90s/00s we'd be on HL5, L4D9 Left for Deadest, TF 3 but it's a live service on season 15 and constant price increases on the season passes.

Let them experiment and dip their toes into new game types.

It's the enshitification taking hold, which is essentially Wall Street pressing their thumbs on creators to squeeze out every bit of money they can.

There are diamonds out there though, and not a surprise they always come from private or indie companies. These are the games I've gravitated to.

They do indeed have more protein. The conclusion that it's for them to fall slower seems to be just a hypothesis

Video game addiction ironically doesn't affect the teenager.

Good point. Then they'll be screaming about the rise of piracy again.
