Phhht. We had these other things before phones. How were they called again? Hmmm… Ah yes, books and magazines! I had a book-stand in every bathroom 😁

Worst proctologist’s bathroom ever.
- Comment on The worst thing about Linux is its users 1 week ago:
Wasn’t meant condescending or anything. You didn’t mean harm. It’s just that victims, who hear this attitude a lot (because it seems so bloody obviously easy), might be pissed. Same like “why are you even homeless? Just buy a house, doh!”

Those tribal linux-neckbeards need this to feel superior. Who cares for their opinion?
I use both as tools for the job at hand. One always fits better than the other. It’s not a cult, it’s an OS
- Comment on The worst thing about Linux is its users 1 week ago:
You (and the upvoters) thought that this was a clever statement. But it actually was not. It was very disrespectful.
Victims of abuse most often can’t “just leave”. It’s not always that simple. It just appears simple to people far outside of abuse, having neither experienced nor witnessed it. Or, the rare case, are victims of survivorship bias, because they were in the miniscule percentage of people successfully leaving abusive enviromnente AND be smug about it afterwards. As someone working with abuse victims, it’s really never a “then just leave!”

Lol, I started with rap and classic and am now a metalhead in my 50s 😁
- Comment on See their point 2 weeks ago:
Maybe because most people stop discovering new music because they’re occupied with other stuff like jobs or having kids. And not because this music is deeply imprinted or such.
I’m still listening to SOME of what I like when I was a teeny, but 95% have shifted. Every decade I have a new favourite style. Went through rap, new age, opera, classical, heavy metal and currently black metal.

That I’d wholeheartedly agree with. We long have reached a state of extreme productivity. Yet the spoils of labour is basically still the same. At least for the 99.9%

Thank you kind internet stranger. And the same to you too 😊
- Comment on Anyone have one of these? 2 weeks ago:
No thanks. I might accidentally slip onto that button and accept a call. And I never accept calls 😁
- Comment on Interesting and probably true 2 weeks ago:
Do you prefer eternal stagnacy just to keep unskilled jobs? No judgment towards “unskilled” but some jobs just die out and create new jobs. The horse’s carts might be gone, but we have cars now with millions of diverse jobs plus legwork. I prefer a car over a horse-ride. And a house over a hut. And mobile phones over smoke-signals or pidgeons.

Just because you might not understand it or see any viable use-case doesn’t make it garbage. Maybe to you. I like LLMs and use different ones for different needs, knowing their limitation.
- Comment on Sounded great when I was young 2 weeks ago:
…ill cut this short with…Dirty liar 😁
But a wonderful post, despite being a bit more fatalistic than it probably actually is. Nice stance on adoptio one rarely sees. Most people are so hellbent on procreating while so many kids would love to have parents that actually want kids.
- Comment on well? 2 weeks ago:
Wouldn’t it even be more helpful to just relieve the ultrarich from taxes? So they could better pay their rent too. I’d throw in one or two moneyz to help.

Sounds fine to me. But I bet there are a handful of “nice” exclusives.

Lol, why even buy such a piece of shit then? Even when in the EU, the fact they do this is enough.
- Comment on hubris go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 3 weeks ago:
TL;DR 😊 they already started to go downhill when they ditched their motto “don’t be evil”. Their agenda to push advertisements before actual search-results combined with the incredible horrible thing called SEO, really did a number. Duckduckgo followed when they became relevant. Etc.
And I grew tired of maintaining my searx-instance.
- Comment on hubris go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 3 weeks ago:
Despite a vibrator only having one oddly specific use-case, LLMs actually do have more. To me, personally, they start to replace the search engines, which become more and more shitty and useless each year. At least an LLM can summarize this pile of garbage faster then I could manually. Also more than decent in translation, quick product comparisons, calculations and even for rapid prototyping in code (nothing major though, or just for giving new ideas).
Of course, if trained on shit, they become shit. We’re still at the dawn of things. Haters will hate, ignorants will ignore. And many of those that do not understand it, will reject or even fear it. It was probably the same when the car, aeroplane or computer went mainstream first.

Oh crap…that explains a lot
- Comment on jobaphobia 4 weeks ago:
I’m just a lucky fucker that doesn’t need overly much to exist. Beside an expensive hobby (smarthome and gaming and servers) I don’t need fancy houses, cars or clothes. We don’t travel much and have no kids nor pets. The latter save a lot 😁
- Comment on NEW TREND JUST DROPPED 4 weeks ago:
And when I put grass in my butt and stroll around like a pimp, noone cheers or does studies 🤨
- Comment on jobaphobia 4 weeks ago:
Phhht amateur numbers. I have worked maybe a year in the last 25yrs and only because it was a cool job and I had some fun times. But it left me not much time for my hobbies.
Also smokers would pay any price for their fix, no matter the income. Anything else has to be adjusted around that. I have never heard of someone quitting smoking because they can’t afford it anymore.

Your bumhole tells me you’re a skeptical. So I probably can’t interest you in a great wrinkle- removing miracle-cream? A smoother hole begets a healthier life, a higher libido and more financial stability in life.

You didn’t just miss “euthanize spider” but also the very “humanely” way of slowly freezing it to death for 5 days. And I share your thoughts. I really really really hate spiders, but I love them. As they’re fascinating creatures with incredible abilities. If that makes sense. Also very useful.

They might taste like all gods have a party in my mouth, I’d still prefer to not eat them. Not judging your food or eating-habits, but I just hate eating disgusting stuff 😁

I don’t remember where this was from, but remember if effing funny and fitting here 😁
