    thousands died as a result

    Bro hysterics like this on a Saturday morning are wild lol. Fox must really be hitting their Epstein counter coverage HARD

  2. https://www.wsj.com/economy/jobs/fed-chair-jerome-powell-says-u-s-may-be-drastically-overstating-jobs-numbers-741c635d?st=QN8TWY&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

    Powell said that Fed staffers believe that federal data could be overestimating job creation by up to 60,000 jobs a month. Given that figures published so far show that the economy has added about 40,000 jobs a month since April, the real number could be something more like a loss of 20,000 jobs a month, Powell said.

    “We think there’s an overstatement in these numbers,” Powell said in a press conference following the central bank’s two-day policy meeting.

    We're really going to do it.

    We are just over a week out from the Epstein Files, and the Ghislaine Maxwell judge has ordered documents in her case relating to Epstein to be released as well.

    Well it's a good thing the trump administration has a good record of faithfully following court orders then

    trending up or down, it's still too high for what the fed says they want, that's just not debatable. the other fact is that price increases are cumulative as we all know, after 2+ years of historically high inflation (not runaway inflation mind you) it's going to take several years of sub three percent inflation for consumers to be able to truly adjust.  add higher interest rates for credit cards, cars, impact of locked in low or higher new mortgages and other cost increases and it's obvious consumers/families are still feeling the pain.

    not to mention the incredibly massive debt bubble that's built up in datacenters. Nvidia has sold around 10-12 Gigawatts of GPU's in the last four quarters - almost all funded with debt from the buyers (and some debt from Nvidia itself to boot). Building a 1GW of datacenter capacity takes about 2 and a half years and ANOTHER $50,000,000,000. So there's got to be mountains of hardware sitting around collecting dust, not plugged in to anything or generating revenue. 

    That's bad. The loans taken to buy the cards are still incurring interest while the hardware isn't generating revenue, and the purchases are causing a supply crunch and price spike elsewhere that we're currently enjoying. Because there's a massive opportunity cost to those loans given to buy GPUs to sit on shelves - that money isn't doing anything economically useful aside from fluffing NVDA and keeping LGU.

    That's incorrect. The video you posted doesn't show that. The "sexualizing your body" comment was a question by the man in response to the worker making offensive comments about his partner's hijab ("witch craft bandana"). It is also irrelevant. But again, you're just making stuff up that you want to be true. 

    I'd bet a dollar that cinnabitch made some shitty comment about the Somalian woman's hijab, and the man defended her because they wear it for modesty and to avoid sexualizing their bodies. I could 10000% see that leading to the "sexualizing your body" comment towards the racist.

    But we keep forgetting, the worker MUST have had a good reason to be such a racist cunt

    Yeah it's really not that complicated. This is football porn. You'd just have to ditch the CCGs since there aren't any byes or auto qualifiers. 

    and some conferences are just busted now with how big they are - can't even round-robin in their own division. Yeah I think CCG's are on the chopping block, but conferences don't want to lose that fat advertising check from the games

    You would think most of the board’s posters would’ve learned by now not to engage with the most obvious trolling imaginable, but I guess expecting any Americans to learn anything is a fool’s errand.

    I'm honestly more impressed at how much leeway trolls get. If blacklab was around he would be swinging the "shitposting" banhammer like crazy.

    Stassney isn't contributing to the thread or discussion, he's just arguing with zero evidence that the self-admitted racist lady must have had a good reason to do what she did. Which is what a fucking racist peice of shit would say.

    TDS on the TDS board, for fuck sake.

    brother, this IS the TDS board - you are pathologically incapable of acknowledging reality. Say, did you ever figure out if tariffs would have a negative effect on the economy? 

    We're enjoying a COVID-like economic environment and inflation, for really no reason besides derangement and tariffs

    I gotta say though, it's hilarious how this thread slowed waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy down in 2025 despite inflation getting worse than ever. I WONDER what changed.....

    I am so fucking angry at society passively accepting this bullshit. If you're not actively making fun of and criticizing this AI slop, please start. 

     

    If they spent weeks generating and throwing video away, I would be very VERY interested to know their token consumption and how many megawatts they burned to make their slop that they're proud of

    Your Batgirl fandom is showing (but you aren't wrong, directionally).

    Lol not batgirl, Coyote vs Acme was finished and ready for release and it was killed so they could harvest tax credits. And they axed most of their backlog of animation and really fucked over all those folks who worked on it and lost years of portfolio work
