Someone once said the bottom to me nearly verbatim for questioning the Iraq war. My grandmother once asked me if I wanted to go to hell because I laughed at Bush Jr fumbling his words.
We’ve been there for a lot longer than people are willing to admit.

I would give anything to skim an article rather than sit through a 10 minute video for the one thing I need to know.

I ate at a McD last week in NV and the fries were in the expected cardboard carton and not as pictured.

or just get a decent adblocker and stream it.
- Comment on Fresh dystopian hell from Samsung fridges with ads. 1 month ago:
I’m not sure I’m convinced. They don’t seem to be struggling with consensus on any other matters, so that kind of implies they’re just one single consciousness rather than a gestalt of conflicting ones. I don’t think the individuals are still in there, or they’re so completely subsumed they might as well be gone.
As for their vulnerability to emotional outbursts I’m betting that whatever happened with the immune survivors has made them into transmitters but not receivers for whatever psychic frequency the collective operates on. Which is why it cannot disobey or lie to her about anything except its “biological imperatives” and cannot handle her negative emotions since it disrupts the positive emotions it’s using to keep everyone’s consciousnesses subdued.

For someone who rolled up every psychiatrist, psychologist, and social worker on earth into their head they don’t seem to know how to handle someone experiencing grief/ptsd very well.

series of increasingly large dominoes where the smallest is “NVIDIA releases CUDA” and the largest is “the entire global economy has become dependent on running a useless computer program that tricks stupid people into thinking it can do anything worthwhile”

It’s extremely difficult to measure the effectiveness of online ads and most companies have an incentive to inflate their numbers since they’re sold as a certain number of views/impressions.
Advertising is a scam for both those who buy it and the intended audience.
- Comment on Thanks for nothing 4 months ago:
This must be some new dark pattern because my Meta VR headset, Twitter, and Instagram have all started giving me false notification badges recently. I’m just teaching myself to ignore the red badges because it’s not worth the annoyance.

Is this the same nestle slave labor case that went to the Supreme Court where nestle was successfully defended by a former Obama staffer or have they done this more than once?
- Comment on why is EVERYTHINGGGGG behind a paywall? 10 months ago:
Many of those apps were built on things produced and distributed for free. I would say they are, usually, just a fancy front end on some OSS library. That’s not without value, good interfaces are hard, but lets not pretend they’re doing all the work themselves, and they certainly aren’t eager to reinvest any of that money into the free software that made their shit possible.

Not even remotely unique to Trump. Like 90% of US politicians do this.

- Comment on Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit 11 months ago:
If they bundled the item with a pack of batteries in a retail store and sold it for 39.99, would you still consider it cheaper?
- Comment on Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit 11 months ago:
How? You cannot buy this “cheaper” version without spending more money. It’s 39.99 with free shipping other places. It’s $39.99 on Amazon because you have to pay for shipping. You’re not saving money, you’re just getting more stuff from Amazon.
- Comment on Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit 11 months ago:
Cheaper on Amazon, or anywhere else?
- Comment on Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit 11 months ago:
How have you ‘saved’ money that you spent, exactly?
- Comment on Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit 11 months ago:
So they’re getting you to buy more than you wanted or pull the trigger on something you were waiting on. Sounds like this is still a win for Amazon.

- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 year ago:
that’s not just non profits. ever wonder how so many nominally “unprofitable” companies seem to stick around forever?
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 year ago:
Great, sounds like they didn’t need that donation money since the CEO will get them all the rich kickbacks they need. So what’s the problem?
- Comment on New oven and they lock the air fryer functionality behind wifi. 1 year ago:
doesn’t seem to have stopped them from locking functionality that does not require an internet conneciton behind an internet connection, so i don’t see why they would care.
- Comment on New oven and they lock the air fryer functionality behind wifi. 1 year ago:
which is great until you realize that if it cant connect to a server somewhere to download the latest Ad manifest it crashes the OvenOS and now your warranty is void AND you can’t bake a cake.
