You do have both though, you just prioritise not to.

You haven’t stopped enough though. Plummeting is not the same as them crashing and burning.
- Comment on The rich passing our money back & forth 2 days ago:
Yeah, Anthropic and OpenAI are around a trillion dollars in debt to all these companies, they are never going to be profitable, it is physically impossible for them to do that.
And all these companies have hitched their main business model on AI (for Microsoft it is around 70%), so they will get massively hit when the bubble bursts. They can’t allow that, so they just keep pumping more money into them, making the bubble bigger and bigger.
- Comment on The rich passing our money back & forth 2 days ago:
It is much much worse than Enron. The amount of money involved in the AI bubble circlejerk is mindboggling.
- Comment on Manosphere 4 days ago:
I think it taking ten years before a manosphere influencer turns fascist is way too unrealistic. One or two years tops.
- Comment on There's always money in the banana sta... Flock cameras 4 days ago:
It is a shitpost. It is a variant on the “did you know flock cameras contains valuable copper and wiring etc”. They don’t contain much that would amount to anything of that either, but that is not really the point.
- Comment on The perfect date 6 days ago:
ISO is better for archiving and sorting, inarguably so. But dd-mm-yyyy is better for day to day daily life usage, where the day and month are much more important than the year.
Both have their uses, but for different situations. mm-dd-yyyy is just batshit though.

So you had to be an ad-enjoying American who was alive in 2001 to get it.

And it is of course fitting that it is a set fine, which only serves as a burden for poor people. For rich people it would be pocket change and mean nothing.

We don’t really know what Jesus thought about basically anything, because the only sources we have for his opinions are a bunch of texts written long after his supposed death, and they all contradict each other in various ways.

No, the media should not engage in undisclosed doctoring of photos like that. That is pretty heinous stuff.
Either they shouldn’t have used the photo, or blurred him or some shit if they absolutely wanted him out of the photo.
Just think in what other instances they do that to photos without disclosing it.

If I can stand up for what’s right
Yeah, secret undisclosed baked in unexplained banlists. What a “dignified and graceful” way to stand up for something, definitely not underhanded, sneaky and authoritarian.
- Comment on I may be wrong here. Isn't AI only as smart as the user putting in the information or commands? What's the big deal? 2 weeks ago:
It’s not true. They are just copying the anthropic bs stories to make their line keep going up.

What if they have never heard of the term, even though they are Canadian? That doesn’t seem like an impossibility.

If you are American perhaps. Most other people have no idea what this is.
- Comment on How Come Latin Didn't Spread in the Middle East as Much as it did in Europe? 2 weeks ago:
Latin would have been used by governors and their administration when reporting to Rome, and there would have been Latin speaking personnel, but they would have been the exception.
So yes, it would have been more accurate to use Greek, but of course it would have made the whole thing a lot less funny because most of the audience wouldn’t have been able to decipher the Greek letters (and it would have added an extra layer of confusion to a clever joke).

How did the scammer in the picture know that it was this specific person who did it, out of the thousands they daily spam with their message?

I am interested in your theories about how Trump could ever be saved.
- Comment on What does "Woke" mean to you? 3 weeks ago:
I remember there being some twitter trend around it, kind of like the “me too” movement too
No you fucking don’t, that is exactly what I am talking about. You are remembering the right wing press explaining this term to you and accepting their explaination.
Also, why would they invent such a word and not some more derogatory one?
You are talking about fascists who spun “social justice warrior” as a negative term. Who the fuck is against social justice? Social justice is a good thing. Fascists, that’s who.
saying they invented it is more akin to propaganda and revisionist history to me because it takes something away from the word
Who the fuck cares if somebody takes something from the word. Stop using it. It is not important. It means nothing, it is a Grundbegriff to use the language of Koselleck. It means everything and nothing, it is a term which has been used for so many things that anybody can claim anything about its meaning. It is literally meaningless.. Use your own language, stand up to the fascists and find your own words for things, instead of mindlessly accepting their nonsense.
- Comment on What does "Woke" mean to you? 3 weeks ago:
It is a term as old as language with all sorts of different meanings, but the specific modern meaning used in modern media was definitely invented by them.
- Comment on What does "Woke" mean to you? 3 weeks ago:
It is a derogatory term invented by fascists, and is used by them for anything they disapprove of.
- Comment on Not a single one 3 weeks ago:
Neither are most roads, sewers or hospitals, we are talking basic infrastructure here, whether it is profitable seems to me to be completely irrelevant.
And again, not a huge fan of nuclear power plants, but this argument is not one I hold against them.

- Comment on You 'member? 🟣 4 weeks ago:
Useless x 1000 is still = useless.
It doesn’t matter how many people it services when its service is something we can easily live without, and only exists to add more billions to the wealth of billionaires. Not so much for EVs.
