I didn’t have the stew that makes you go blind for one day, so I substituted beef broth. My daughter didn’t go blind. One star.
- Comment on Annoying dark pattern where no means maybe later 1 week ago:
It’s not necessarily their activity though.
The algorithm will include one’s demographic, location, the things the people around you watch, and other things.
People ITT do seem to be taking “something about their activity” more harshly than it was meant. An innocuous video like fly fishing will lead to right wing content.
Fit me for a tinfoil hat, if you’d like, but I don’t think it’s just about what they think you want to watch. These services are controlled by right wing techbro nut jobs and use their platforms to proselytize.
- Comment on Female tourist takes down phone-snatcher in Argentina 1 week ago:
That guy’s a violent asshole who should go to jail too. We have courts for a reason.
I read another story where some lady accused a guy of kidnapping his own son. Bystanders grabbed him (which makes sense), but then another asshole broke his ribs, kicking him like this.

Just cut your MAGA family loose. Why do you want to spend time with assholes?

Not saying you’re wrong, but Kid Rock is far from “average”.

AI cannot be relied upon to follow its own rules, prompt injection or no.
- Comment on the future is now 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think there’s any speculation that it’s real. The question is whether it was created with AI and/or edited.
- Comment on turing completeness 2 weeks ago:
There’s no question. Chatbots are implicated in a lot of suicides, shattering the first rule.
There could be an interesting conversation about whether the environmental impact ALSO breaks the first rule, but that conversation is unnecessary when chat bots are telling kids to kill themselves.

Pizza is A toast. Like avocado toast.
It’s bread, toasted with sauce, various meats, cheeses, and vegetables. This seems pretty unassailable.
- Comment on Go Green 3 weeks ago:
Marijuana’s a lot more difficult to grow than this. You need to keep the males and females separate.
- Comment on NOW! 3 weeks ago:
Nobody cares about the long run. You can fool all of the people until next quarter, pull your golden parachute, and go suck the marrow out of the next corporation like a locust.
- Comment on NOW! 3 weeks ago:
The “true meaning”* of Black Friday is clearing out old stock that didn’t sell and getting it off the books before the New Year.
You used to be able to get some decent deals, but now it’s just warmed over crap produced specially to be sold at a discount.
*This is meant in a parallel to the feeling of “the true meaning of Christmas”. Not the literal meaning.

Hey, it’s me, ur Illuminati.
- Comment on No fucking way! I got invited to the Illuminati 4 weeks ago:
I am saddened that the Illuminati sent out fake notices to all of you to mask their attempts to recruit me.
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 4 weeks ago:
45 year old here…I’m pretty sure I’ve never bought an analog clock and I think it would be weird for a school—or any place, really—to have one. I’m not surprised kids don’t learn outdated technology and anybody who is mad about it should pick up a slide rule.

I am fine with a few spiders around, but the detente does not extend to eggsacs.

Look, buddy, if you think jerking off while playing Baldur’s Gate 3 is “nothing” that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

Imagine 8 hours of toddlers watching a birth.
- Comment on Anon thinks it's over 5 weeks ago:
I like experimental electronic sound. There have been moments where I’m driving, hear a new beat, enjoy it…then realize I need to take my car to the mechanic.
Sure, AI can create music that I can’t tell is AI generated. But there is a difference between “enjoyable” and “good”. My concerns about AI have very little to do with the quality of content it can create. Even if eventually it can make “good” music it still sucks.
- Comment on It's not? 5 weeks ago:
I’m not sure anyone thought “naughty hole” was an official government agency. It’s good to recommend body safe sex toys as a matter of habit.
- Comment on Anon finds a plot hole 5 weeks ago:
You can only lose so many stable boys before giving up on your riding griffins.
- Comment on Anon finds a plot hole 5 weeks ago:
Eh…a lot of what we do is inefficient because that makes the most money for people who already have too much money.
Nuclear was kneecapped by the fossil fuel industry. They’re still fighting against renewables.
We’re going to destroy the planet so that the rich get richer.
- Comment on Believe it or not 1 month ago:
I’ll never understand why people argue about subjective opinions. Pineapple gives pizza a sweetness to compliment the savory tomato. If you don’t like it, don’t put pineapple on your pizza and shut up about other people’s decisions.
- Comment on relationship shirt 1 month ago:
If you consider the number of hetero girls who aren’t interested in dating bi guys is probably larger than the number of guys who date guys, the pool is potentially doubled but effectively shrinks a bit.
- Comment on A data center fire in South Korea sees 858 TB of government files and 'eight years’ worth of work' stored in the cloud go up in smoke 1 month ago:
I was just thinking that incompetence on this scale is likely deliberate.
Either some manager refused to pay for backups and they’re too highly placed to hold accountable, or they deliberately wanted to lose some data, but I refuse to believe anyone built this system without even considering off-site backups.
