:dart: benediction thread on the most clever lid changer of them all? EVERY ONE, I SUCK YOU NONE!

I think we can all agree that the spirit of the prediction is gold, SEC related pedantic dickweedery aside.
-
I'll add another one.
North Korean anti-western regime won't survive the year.
-
I will continue to fail to find a decent job with a better commute and equal pay
I will continue to fail to turn any of my hobby products or writing into anything that will generate passive income
I will continue to be a friendless loser everybody hates
I will at some point realize that after a certain amount of time, it isn't just a "bad day" or a "bad week" or a "bad month" or a "bad year" or even a "bad couple of years", it morphs into a "bad life" and that's basically the end of it

If you want to improve your situation, you know what you have to do. The question is only, if you can do it.

There will be a massive shift in how online creators earn their money. Ad revenue will all but dry up, and be completely gone (or next to nothing) for any "organic" ad revenue generation. There will still be large corporate backed producers who are effectively sponsored, except for the part where they see the massive income associated with being sponsored. The quality of those content creators will go downhill as more creative control is exerted by their corporate masters. Crowdfunding will increase (another) order of magnitude. The ad bubble will burst. But rather than go away, the ad industry will double down on their anti-adblocker vitriol. They'll attempt to push more laws through preventing ad-blockers. Ads will become even more annoying, and further abuse new technologies to push ads in front of people. The web will be nigh unusuable without an adblocker.

All websites will do Wikipedia-style funding drives.

The question is only, if you can do it.
The bigger question is why is that comma there.
-
I will enjoy season 7 of Archer.
I will spend a shitload of money on food and whisky.
I will start dating someone who will disappoint me in some way.
This results in me spending even more money on food and booze.
Some new war will start somewhere.
ISIS will still be a thing.
Poland will leave the EU.
In general, people will not become smarter.

The biggest question is where's your question mark?
-
For questions I don't expect/want an answer to, I no longer put a question mark on the end. Because of the humorless dickholes here that would make some "joke" answer instead of just letting the post go un-replied-to.
Obviously that strategy didn't work this time.

It's also suffering from an identity crisis, and trying to fit in?

It worked perfectly. You didn't get a reply from a humorless dickhole. Just me.

Specifically, this will be done using amendments to the DMCA that put advertising on the same legal footing as copy protection and bring adblockers under the anti-circumvention provisions. These will sail through Congress unnoticed, as riders on a Republican bill designed to undo all Obama's executive orders on gun control - which will itself be drafted in such a way as to make conducting any kind of background check on a prospective assault rifle purchaser a felony carrying a mandatory 25 years imprisonment.

I predict that the topic title will continue to get elgiued.

Please, no. The world has enough shitty products that are of no use.

Britain will hit 2 trillion in national debt
The Irish will start an invasion of Poland
Obama's gun control fever will die down and go nowhere
I will try and fail to learn regex again

Most of them won't actually get made/delivered anyway, so should be fine.

There are a few gems that have been crowdfunded, though. Overall, I think it's a net positive to society.

But without crowdfunding, we wouldn't have Snatoms!

This would be rather useless without a bill that first legalizes post-1986 assault rifles for civilian ownership.

I guess those headphones are useful for one thing. If you see someone wearing them, you know that person is an idiot and should be avoided.

I bought 2 kilos of that yesterday!

I hope not. I have had food poisoning exactly one time in my life, and it was caused by peanut butter. Haven't touched the stuff since.

Agreed. There are a few gems and some of them are more feasible than the others.
I have recently (Late Nov last year) backed a Japanese-to-English translation Kickstarter project from well known game producer and they've already delivered their first game yesterday. There are still three remaining and the progress report to each of them still looks reasonably good.
They originally planned to deliver all the games in Feb but I'll give them some leeway and predict they deliver all the games in Aug.

If they are the ones I think they are, my wife has a pair! They are actually pretty nice. She sits with them round her neck playing music/games from the ears. Says it is far comfier than headphones worn normally, and still gives the stereo sound well...

I will post a picture of my wife's ones when I get home (if I remember)

It looked and tasted like peanut butter. After I stirred and mixed it back up, that is. The Internet is wrong when it says separated peanut butter from three years ago is still good to eat if you stir it first.
