I personally think Outer Wilds should give you the whole lore as an audiobook, not everyone wants to go hunting for clues and reading a bunch of old conversations between dead people in order to figure out what’s going on…

The 1% richest hold 50% of all the wealth. If we’re being reasonable, everyone vs them is probably more than enough.
- Comment on (Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games. 2 weeks ago:
Everyone on the comments making such a huge deal of account security when literally all Rockstar had to do was allow people to unlink their Steam accounts from Social Club. It could even be done in their own launcher, with the credentials of the Steam account that actually owns the game. Then people could just make a new Social Club account, it’s not worth shit anyways.
They’re locking people out of playing a local, offline game, over some decade year old account that I used my spam email for, and now I’m supposed to remember it? Get a fucking grip bro.
- Comment on (Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games. 2 weeks ago:
Social Club is the kind of account you use a throwaway email for, and just use whatever random nickname isn’t taken yet. I, personally, have no idea what the email or nickname to my Social Club account are. I also have bought GTA V through Steam back in 2015 and haven’t lived into Social Club since. I think it’s perfectly fair to expect that your Steam account shouldn’t be hijacked by Rockstar upon linking it to one Social Club account once.
At the very least, if they’re gonna have a Rockstar launcher, it should allow you to unlink your Steam account through it, using your Steam credentials, and free it up to link to a new Social Club account.
- Comment on Would you ever give up your right to leave a bad review about a company? 2 weeks ago:
That’s just the company expecting to deliver you bad services/products before they even know who you are. Absolute clown behavior.
- Comment on /lgbt/ discusses the shooting 2 weeks ago:
“Nooo, don’t associate shooters with trans people, that’s just correlation without causation”
“But also, they had actually detransitioned, so that clearly means detransitioners are the least stable demographics”
Can we please just agree that mental illness is one thing, and sexuality is another completely different thing?

- Comment on How do I "sabotage" my own online content to throw a wrench in AI training machines? 3 weeks ago:
The problem with AI is not even their developers fully understand how they work, and they’re not standardized, so there isn’t a one size fits all solution for dealing with them. The amount of different ways a model may or may not fail in is so large, that any particular fail mode might as well be random.
Even if you do manage to find something like a captcha that can filter out most AI models, it’s as much a matter of time, as it is a matter of randomness for some developer to find a way to bypass it, even if accidentally. Case and point: m.youtube.com/watch?v=iuR9EJbXHKg

- Comment on If I stood on a precision scale and farted, would I get lighter or heavier? 4 weeks ago:
Not really, the balloon gains volume at the same rate as it gains mass, so its buoyancy doesn’t change. Or at least it wouldn’t, if it weren’t for a a small detail: the air inside the balloon gets compressed, which makes it heavier for its size, making it gain more mass than it gains buoyant force. That means the scale would read an increase in mass, representing the extra amount of air that shouldn’t be occupying that space, were it not compressed.

- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 5 weeks ago:
No one eos obligated to have internet, and there are actually people who don’t have it. The TV isn’t sold as an “online only” product, they cannot block you from using something that works offline because you’re offline.
- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 5 weeks ago:
You should’ve never connected it in the first place. Never even set up any functions that a piece of hardware prompts you to. Most of those are enforced only because the company behind them gains something from you having them set up. Unless you actually need something that depends on that function, disable the function.
- Comment on Anon saves up 1 month ago:
I read mine. My boss sent it to me 2 days before I actually started working there, then he let me work there for a week before actually signing, with all benefits being contractually valid from the day I started, not from the day I signed.
If you never saw your contract, get a lawyer.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Modern society teaches you to care about all the irrelevant things, and ignore the major manufactured shifts in your life, that makes you more easily controllable. That’s how they domesticated you into working a 9 to 5, paying taxes, voting for a 2 party system, and ignoring major coverups like JFK’s assassination, the Epstein files, the Diddy trial, wars in the middle east, the fact that nuclear MAD is still literally one systemic failure away, yatta yatta yatta…
