    I would like an explainer from someone in the toy industry. Someone like Super7 makes toys in China and Vietnam, how would it affect their prices? Tom's did an explainer last month on how it would affect electronics: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/trump-tariffs-increase-laptop-electronics-prices

    Virtually everything produced in China would be effected and average retail prices will increase accordingly.

    From the article: “If we get tariffs, we will pass those tariff costs back to the consumer,” said AutoZone CEO Philip Daniele, on an earnings call in September.

    It has crossed my mind!
    
    Turned out, the best political move ever played was sabotaging education every chance they got. Took a generation to pay off, but they finally got that malleable, reactionary, anti-intellectual voter the GOP loves so much.

  Probably regret selling 90% of the time.

  Why do parents want their kids to buy them gifts? What's the novelty here?

  After grumpily deciding that the FFVI opera scene was annoying, I now find myself humming it while I work. Oddly comforting.

    Oh man, VI (III) was the first Final Fantasy I fell in love with back in the early ‘90s. That opera tune still resonates with me after all these years.

  Wife and I bought a townhouse. Excited to pack up and move my plastic hoard for the last time (foreseeable future).

    Seeing some of the pricing on these lottos has me wow'd. Like my entire DCON budget for one figure? Kudos to those that have the cash but damn.

    Ugh I know what you mean. I’ve seen a few toys that were around $70 years ago now go for $150. Makes me kick myself for thinking prices would go down due to lack of hype.

  I missed a drop last night because my wife walked in with my kid and asked "Isn't she beautiful?" I felt so lucky in that moment.

  AI is supposed to be trained on all of human knowledge but as far as I can tell it's mostly ingesting the English Internet.

    Generative AI in general. Lots of social media posts of things like "countries as superheroes," etc popping up on my feed. Obviously the prompt maker has a say in the final output but have been bothered lately by the obvious bias coloring the results. For instance, weirdly enough, "the most beautiful woman from each country" all seem to look pretty much the same...

    No expectation for this to be perfect. Anything trained on the human experience will come packaged with our own shortcomings.
    
    I don't fear AI for it's ability to create. I fear AI because i think as a society we're all to willing to accept its outputs uncritically.

    Society won't accept it. There have been too many Terminator sequels.
