So is z ai an ai which uses more critical thinking patterns to make it better?
- Comment on Anon uses the internet like a normie 2 weeks ago:
I doubt most website owners are in on this scheme …
A scheme not totally up to their control - as most website owners are not fully in control of their website. It is known the present internet is now majorly influenced by centralized corporate structures. As such market share of Wordpress (mobiloud.com) represents around 45%, used provide a platform for website hosting used for CAM and non-CAM applications; Other percentages are corresponding to shopify, wix, etc.
It is incorrect to assume the majority of website owners are fully independent of corporate management. Other point to consider is google dependence, which is something that occurs more deeply than website deployment and is a major influence on ads within websites.
- Comment on Anon uses the internet like a normie 2 weeks ago:
but in a somewhat less aggravating way.
This is a quite interesting point to take in. The ads are there but not a straight to the face like website ads are.
TikTok and TikTok alternatives as mentioned, use ads that pop up periodically, but naturally - as in it can be indistinguishable to other content that is presented. As said, the ads are less intrusive and more so designed to occupy the user for a couple of seconds to not effectively brake their inertia of scrolling.
The status quo in the ad sector looks mismatched - but possibly for a purpose. It is known that ads are not only used for advertising on its own, but as a method of manipulation (e.g: YouTube premium). The friendly nature of TikTok ads in contrast to intrusive website ads poses an important question if the design is intentional and in result manipulative. In result, individuals of all ages are drawn to short form content and drawn from effective long form content. Additionally, since most individuals irrespective of age are essentially living off of short form content, it means they don’t have effective strategies developed to navigate or use the power of the wider element. This situation is attributed to discouragement; in effect all age groups are seen to be affected - even considering many individuals which have skills for browsing the wider internet.
- Comment on do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last? 4 weeks ago:
There is a good video that explains this kind of phenomenon. First it starts with a political 1D left-right line then ends with a political tesseract.
Important thing is, it is better off to treat it as a spectrum rather than a graph. Because, as implied - complexity.
- Comment on Discord customer service data breach leaks user info and scanned photo IDs 4 weeks ago:
At this point it’s stupid to make sense of how this shit law does good to children and society. All the government is doing is disrespecting children and teens into absolute control - minors are essentially a tool, nothing more.

Once I was doubting the need for higher levels of mathematics. Now as an engineer I realize the utility of this knowledge.
What made my change my mind? Well it’s definitely not my intelligence nor my age, it’s the practical application of that theory which got me here. Reading in between the lines can only happen if you like what you’re doing.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 weeks ago:
It is a solution specifically designed for music. Library representation is much more predictable and it’s interface feels very efficient and clean.
It essentially does what you expect from a music streaming service.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 weeks ago:
Same but with Navidrome. Found it much better than Jellyfin.
- Comment on Anon buys a game for the switch 2 5 weeks ago:
It’s not about convenience. It is about control, and manipulation. There is only one thing important and it is money.
Corpos, are trying their hardest to cut corners on every opportunity. It was promised that digital games where to be cheaper than the physical alternative - but alas that promise was broken when all that did was tie the customer down into a literal monopoly.
In my experience, some indie games still have that “charm”. So it’s not about convenience, it’s caring about your customers.
- Comment on How do I keep a 9 year old from constantly licking erasers and putting them in his mouth 1 month ago:
Agreed, putting something repulsive is the key here. This kind of strategy is used for nail biters as well.
- Comment on Anon knows suffering 1 month ago:
That is one thing that I don’t get. There is so much quotes and ideas that are just manipulated out of spite to target the working class. It’s like the “elites” are really on the sidelines while we’re fighting our own people.
Even “carbon footprint” is a quote fabricated to put the wrong doings of the petroleum industry on us.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 1 month ago:
so what you’re saying is that this is ageism. And we are infantilizing individuals irrespective of their experience and actual understanding.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 1 month ago:
Also the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 1 month ago:
Ageism, it is always implied that adults are the ones right - because what adult would accept a child to disprove their logic?
It’s also one of those myths which people forget after a year; and even if its encountered again, it is treated as insignificant.
- Comment on Can't argue that. 1 month ago:
For a fact, until it isn’t for a fact. Unfortunately things may change like how majority of physics was disproven in the early 1900
- Comment on Keir Starmer in crisis as Labour drops to 16% in devastating new poll 1 month ago:
Not surprising. This country is basically a clown show, and he helped build it.
- Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ? 1 month ago:
That’s just how society is, most stuff just isn’t logical or ethical. As such, there are people that get aggressive over others asking questions, how is that socially acceptable?
But yes, acceptance by society doesn’t mean it’s right. Majority of the time morality is forcefully projected into others, and penalised if they dare to question that morality.
- Comment on Anon dates a 19 y/o 1 month ago:
I don’t quite agree with the replies. The statement “it matches experiences” is baseless as stated in my other reply.
In general, experience ≠ age. This is because experience is influenced by various physical factors such as opportunities, learning environments, etc. Not exactly by age.
- Comment on Anon dates a 19 y/o 1 month ago:
That’s because it’s all based on assumptions and projected morals. Commonly treated as a ultimate truth not as a “rule of thumb” as it is destined to be - hostility is built in this “rule”.
In general, this rule essentially dictates the ethics of independent people. Because of this there is no description, it’s a requirement to say “ew”.
- Comment on Anon dates a 19 y/o 1 month ago:
What’s interesting is this rule apparently originated from the early 1900s.
- Comment on Anon dates a 19 y/o 1 month ago:
Exactly, this “rule” is really just equivalent to other forms of snake oil there is. It is baseless and completely made up.
- Comment on Anon dates a 19 y/o 1 month ago:
OP doesn’t understand what cultural progression is. Of course different people gonna do stuff differently as time progresses, the class she was when you where in high school is just irrelevant.
This is the case where op just has skill issue, and is stuck in the past like a boomer he is.

Could you explain how they leave marks?

Idk man, maybe you’ve not been exposed to enough 4chan.
Or maybe he has experienced enough 4chan to the point where he realises those hidden meanings.
- Comment on If spiderman shoots webs from his wrists would not the tension of shooting and swingiing up a skyscraper pretty much break his wrist? Also why SpiderMAN shouuldn''t it be SpiderTEEN? 1 month ago:
Also why SpiderMAN shouuldn’'t it be SpiderTEEN?
If it was a woman would you be calling her SpiderWOMAN? - probably not as it is needlessly discriminatory.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Exactly, OP is the writer of their own story and it’s ultimately up to them to decide if it’s going to be problematic.
- Comment on Little Pea Shooters 2 months ago:
As the other commenter has stated, it’s not about the gravity - because you have to ultimately counter that gravity to escape. But it is about the kinetic energy of the planet as it orbits.

That is just a fact at this point
