    How does one learn to invest in stock market?

    First piece of advice: Stay far, far away from r/WallStreetBets. Most users there are looking for get rich quick schemes. If you can't read a chart without the aid of indicators and trendlines then you really shouldn't be making trades. It's tough beating the market without this ability...

    Bud Light sales are tanking. How does this make you feel?

    First, you'll need to explain why you keep suggesting that there's no major risk in advertising LGBTQ+ to the conservative demo when the opposite has already been proven true. Claiming that because a major backlash hadn't occurred yet doesn't absolve ad agencies of risk, which is akin to...

    Bud Light sales are tanking. How does this make you feel?

    If a company wants to knock down barriers by producing high risk ads, those ads need to be of high quality. This viral ad was both cringy and low effort. If one tosses bait into the ocean, one need not be surprised when a shark shows up for dinner. The fault here lies on the ad agency, not...

    Bud Light sales are tanking. How does this make you feel?

    I agree with Xzi that targeting a specific demo to sell a product is perfectly reasonable, which is a tenet of advertisement. While that applies to advertising in general, it doesn't excuse failed viral ads that lead to a tanked stock, alleged firings\suspensions, and a public apology. Any ad...

    Bud Light sales are tanking. How does this make you feel?

    One of the worst marketing ideas in recent memory, but a 10/10 on the troll scale. This Bud's for MAGA.

    Trump is being charged with 34 counts of falsification of business records.

    If things work out, Trump can finally live behind a wall designed to keep criminals off the streets.

    Homebrew For GBARunner2 users: Fire Emblem no-autosave patches

    I'm glad you got the translation & hacks working. It's still important to update this thread since it's the one dedicated to your patches and not everyone has time to sift through all 170 pages in the other thread. Also, if someone searches for the word "Tsurugi," it's now much easier to...

    Covid-19 vaccine

    Hey Lacius, I believe tabzer may be trying to hypnotize us.

    Covid-19 vaccine

    As previously stated, tabzer concealed the size disparity between AMA and the "demographic" he chose to source, fallaciously presenting AAPS as an equivalent sized voice. As previously stated, tabzer responded with a survey from the wacky right-wing AAPS, an organization that is not recognized...

    Covid-19 vaccine

    The more the virus mutates, the more likely unvaccinated can catch it for a second time. Thus, this isn't a limitation of vaccine technology as much as it's a byproduct of microevolution.

    Covid-19 vaccine

    It's a survey from the wacky right-wing AAPS, an organization that is not recognized as credible by the medical community and barred from major medical indexes; thus, it's surveys aren't recognized as credible or representative of most physicians. AAPS: 4k members (Right-wing...

    Covid-19 vaccine

    - Downplaying\ignoring Covid-19 dangers. - Exaggerating vaccine dangers. - Repeatedly linking to deceptive anti-vaxxer websites, mislabeling them as "facts" and "credible." Vaccine hesitancy? Cut the crap. These are straight from the anti-vaxxer playbook. The "facts" and "credible" claims...

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
