The plan was to do some geratric version of Luigi if things get bad. Nothing much to lose by then.

The Overton window is again threatening satire?

- Comment on Hostile architecture 1 week ago:
That’s going to be used by teens for finding new ways to sit and show off their balancing skills until it inevitably breaks, gets vandalised because it’s already broken until it ends up surrounded by dumped household waste and rats. The budget for cleaning up is used up for making that monstrosity in the first place, so it remains there as a blight on the landscape.

Lactose intolerant after Christmas dinners be like
- Comment on DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM 2 weeks ago:
It’s like with climate change. The worst 10 years are always the last 10 years.
- Comment on ChatGPT could prioritize sponsored content as part of ad strategy — sponsored content could allegedly be given preferential treatment in LLM’s responses, OpenAI to use chat data to deliver highly personalized results 3 weeks ago:
Then it starts hallucinating and gives an ad for a non existing product with a dead link. Advertisers get mad and threaten to sue.
- Comment on Add a third, larger bar for "knowing the right people" skills 3 weeks ago:
And with what some recruiters put on linked in, some barely have any idea what they’re doing and just have some nonsense red flags to rationalize their job.
- Comment on Speedy Delivery 3 weeks ago:
The answer is most likely “the speedforce”. The amount of handwaving used to justify going fast in these movies are overwhelming.
- Comment on I hacked mars! 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I think of that every time somebody starts talking about fallout shelters, space stations or bases on the moon or Mars. It’s definitely not a solved problem.
- Comment on I hacked mars! 3 weeks ago:
That was the biosphere 2 experiment. Turns out it’s very difficult to sustain the plants without the rest of the planet.
- Comment on electricity is honestly eldritch 3 weeks ago:
Just like in a river, water flows around the rocks but in a flood the rocks flow with the water.

- Comment on It's the truth! 4 weeks ago:
A black box is orange. A red panda is brown. A great white is mostly grey.
- Comment on Congrats on the promotion 4 weeks ago:
Every time the CEO says AI, an investor will jizz millions all over the company.
- Comment on The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" *while I was watching it* 5 weeks ago:
Only had youtube cutting of a clip halfway because it was suddenly set to private. The amount of clips I put in Watch Later to have them disappear is also too high. Stop recommending slop that disappears later, stupid alghorithm.

No
- Comment on Anon lives on a budget 5 weeks ago:
Usually because a group beneficial to rich folks didn’t like it.
- Comment on Anyone in tech confirm? 5 weeks ago:
It’s not just tech workers. More people are going back to retro tech. Physical media instead of streaming, one device one function no internet, that kind of thing.
- Comment on Anon lives on a budget 5 weeks ago:
It’s a nation of individual freedom taken to the extreme. That includes the freedom for wealthy individuals to exploit everybody else. And Anon is on the side of the exploited. Anon does seem as a person that will always argue for complete freedom, so finally maintaining the exploitation of themselves and the situation they find themselves in.
- Comment on We can play that game too 1 month ago:
They’re free to go live in the wilderness, with no roads, no fire department, no water or electricity, no services whatever, and find out how much they’re actually benefiting from our collective.
That’s the neat part. They do try, repeatedly, and it always fails. A classic one is Grafton. It’s also known as A Libertarian Walks into a Bear because their little paradise got overrun by aggressive bears. Lack of public services will do that.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 1 month ago:
It might make players demand lower prices if some cheap AI slop is used in the game. That’s the thing publishers want to avoid. They want to sell cheap slop for full price and pocket the difference. That’s what it’s about in the end.
- Comment on We've done it, boys 1 month ago:
Like is often said, for many it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 1 month ago:
That reminds me how McDonald’s and other gaat food chains are struggling. People figure it’s too expensive for what you get after prices going up and quality going down for years. They forgot that people buy if the price and quality are good. Same with AI. It’s all fun if it’s free or dirt cheap, but people don’t buy expensive slop.
- Comment on We've done it, boys 1 month ago:
Tuned for optimal exploitation.
- Comment on We've done it, boys 1 month ago:
It all turned to shit.
- Comment on "Jurassic" Park 1 month ago:
And most likely it’s because of that movie that regular people know a Cretaceous even existed and what animals where there. It did kick the field and public interest into high gear.
- Comment on Countdown is starting 1 month ago:
Its the Carey Return, New Year marking the end of this year.

That’s why they add gambling mechanics in games. That way many can not stop playing.
