• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's going on with Quentin Tarantino?⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I read that he confronted Weinstein after his girlfriend told him of something Weinstein did to her but accepted his apology. Supposedly Weinstein was also banned from being around Uma Thurman on his set.

  Idk man. He choked multiple actresses on set. He says he had their permission but it sounds shady.

  I might be biased though because I just watched the episode of Bojack Horseman where he chokes his co-star on set. I watched it a few days ago so that’s fresh in my mind.

  I kinda like his movies, but QT kinda seems like the kind of dude who feels the need mansplain “real cinema” to women because they “just don’t get it.” I bet we all know someone like that.

  I get the feeling he’s always been a bit of an asshole. This is just the latest example. He’s been talking shit on peers for 30 years.

  He defended Roman Polanski after Polanski taped a child by saying the girl “wanted it”.

  If you pay people enough, you don’t have to write emails like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are people buying refurb pcs just to strip out the DDR 4 ram with the current price hikes on new ram?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought DDR4 ram a year or two ago for $30 bucks. It’s $70 for the same RAM now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are people buying refurb pcs just to strip out the DDR 4 ram with the current price hikes on new ram?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I did check Facebook marketplace for a used PC to see if RAM would be cheaper.

  Oh my mistake! Yeah we live in a dystopian nightmare and we don’t even have cool sci-fi shit to make up for it. Everything sucks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Simple test to see if you are normal or have a flithy mind⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see anything. I can’t even tell what I’m looking at.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. consumers are so fucked up, that they put more than $1 billion on buy-now, pay later services during Cyber Monday⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know if we have enough information. I agree with you that BNPL purchases are typically bad for the consumer, but I don’t necessarily think any to call people greedy in a difficult economy. Sometimes, people end up in shitty situations, trying to keep their life together, even when they can’t afford to.

  Was the volume items purchased greater than before or are prices just completely out of control? The article doesn’t indicate that it accounts for inflation. Inflation was about 3% and BNLPL was up 4%.

  What about the types of items that were purchased? It doesn’t actually say what types of items were used to BNPL transactions so we don’t know if it was household needs or unnecessary consumption.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make me feel like a man⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I was racking my brain to come up with the best picture, but I saw this and knew this was the right answer.

  We can all go home. We’re done here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a uBlock Origin filter or extension for LLM slop in search results⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Kagi.

  It’s not perfect and it’s not free for unlimited use, but I think it’s worth paying for.

  It doesn’t feel as dated as Duck Duck Go feels to me. It kinda feels like using Google without the enshitification that google has gone through.

  I like the option to filter results. Here’s an image of some filter options:

  Image

  I also did a search for the term “verify email” like in the OP. I did not see nearly as many AI video results. At least not as many obvious AI results.

  It’s not perfect tho and it’s hard to escape AI slop.

  Interestingly, Kagi has an option to filter out AI videos in the result, but I felt like changing that gave me more AI results than without it.

  However, searching with and without, the first ten results did not appear to be AI. After the tenth option, most options were AI regardless of the filter settings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Karl Bushby: Made a bet in 1998 that he could walk from Chile to England. 27 Years later, Still walking. Survived Darién Gap, 57 days in a Russian prison, Traversing the Bering Strait on shifting ice⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For those who just read the headline, his isn’t walking all at once.

  He walks as much as he can that year, then either stays in that area for a while or goes to another country.

  Each time he restarts from the point he left off at.

  He also skipped a few years entirely, after the 2008 financial crisis and during the Covid pandemic.

  I suppose if Russia had let him be in the country for more than 3 months at a time, he might have been able to do it all at once.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Do they need Kushner for that? They done a pretty good job funneling money to Him over the last 8 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And the rest is Jared Kushner. Enjoy that shit sandwich.

  EA was already shit, but somehow they found bread made from shit and built a whole sandwich.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you cheat in video games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you define as cheating? Like I might look up a guide online, sometimes, but I never use mods or exploit bugs.

  Prof: I finished charging the matter compressor.

  Fry: What’s the matter compressor?

  Prof: Nothing’s the matter now that I’ve finished charging the matter compressor.

  Guessing it’s due to the IRA bombings?

  The year of Linux!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She is making a GREAT point⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh I see. In my head, the 10% of men weren’t having sex with 100% of women either way.

  I assumed the number of partners they had wouldn’t change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She is making a GREAT point⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk why I got downvoted. I just don’t understand, I’m not trying to make a point.

  I meant the 10% of men aren’t having more sex to make up for the 90% that are on birth control. They would be having the same amount of sex either way.

  Maybe I’m over thinking it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She is making a GREAT point⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t understand you logic. Are you saying the remaining 10% of men would impregnate a disproportionate amount of women?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your answer? And in the picture which news story is being reported?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  With the OJ thing and with the Ok City thing, it’s really just bits and pieces of memory. I remember the police sketch of the bomber but I didn’t realize it was the OK City incident until I was older and I saw the sketch again.

  The Princess Diana thing is the first time I can remember understanding as well as real news coverage. I would have been around 9 or 10 at the time too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your answer? And in the picture which news story is being reported?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember OJ’s Bronco on the news. I would have been 6yo. I also remember OK City Bombing a year later. Then I don’t remember much news until Princess Diana’s death.

  After that I remember a lot of news stories.

  I had to come to the comments to find out what she meant. CNC fabrication was the only thing I could think of.

  I read a book series where people worship crabs in the Cult of Carcinisation. They may have “been into something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Phones may come without bundled USB cables in the future, if OEMs have their way⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I kinda think a phone is the one thing that should come with cables. For most people, it is their only device. Nothing else should come with cables.

  Just use a mouse pad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox consoles are now getting a fullscreen Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ad at boot, just a day after a 50% price hike was announced⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to get something like all the time, even when I already paid for Game Pass.

  I understand, but I do want to support devs, especially indie devs, when u can. That’s why I have no qualms about canceling an expensive service and putting that money directly in their hands when it’s possible
