It was started by the oligarch propaganda machine to distract people from class war into generational war instead.
- Comment on All we did was make the already rich even richer 4 days ago:
You had the world’s first trillionaire. For a moment.
- Comment on A touch of AI is all it takes to trigger backlash, as a promising new indie falls afoul of slop skeptics 5 days ago:
You should hate the AI itself as well. Fed on stolen IP, uses more power than a city (and all the carbon emissions that comes with being powered by unregulated gas plants), and being pushed by all tech oligarchs in order to take away owning personal computers so they can profit off of serfs having to subscribe to everything while stealing all of their data in the process.
Then comes all the stupid shit AI does instead of what it was claimed to be able to do. But the underlying premise should be enough to make you hate the LLM AIs themselves.
- Comment on Capitalism is an unrealistic death cult. 6 days ago:
You have been lost to right wing propaganda. That is exactly what they want you to believe, so you stop believing in a way out. So why not just keep the status quo with oligarchs using all of our resources and destroying our planet?
- Comment on Funny how that works 1 week ago:
This is like posting one of those graphs showing reported rapes in various countries. They show that are almost no rapes in Saudia Arabia.
The US administration gutted the agencies responsible for recalling food, of course there won’t be a rise, because most toxic food won’t be reported by the FDA anymore.
- Comment on "No precedent in American history!" NYT would have defended child labor. 1 week ago:
Not in the US, but elsewhere yes.
- Comment on Good stuff 1 week ago:
Seems like this picture could be applied to most new tech.

You sure you didn’t mean you have waddled those distances fatly?
- Comment on The price of soda in 2017 2 weeks ago:
And how much is it in OPs picture? Is that the price per can, and how much was a can then?
- Comment on This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄 2 weeks ago:
The thing is the serving size is fictional.
- Comment on This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄 2 weeks ago:
EU as well. (the 100gr. is mandatory).
- Comment on This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄 2 weeks ago:
Yup, the “serving size” nonsense is a US corporate lobbied loophole which basically allows them to put whatever they want on their nutrition information.
I wouldn’t have expected anything else from the US “Corporations are people too” of A.

Well, that is certainly one way to mainline microplastics directly into your system I guess.
- Comment on Harry Potter star Bel Powley says she 'strongly disagrees' with JK Rowling's views 2 weeks ago:
Not that “strongly” obviously.
- Comment on Celebratory Return to Online Meme 2 weeks ago:
Americans…
- Comment on onions 2 weeks ago:
Neither of those are as essential to food as onions though.
- Comment on It's gay to brush your teeth 2 weeks ago:
Most people don’t.
- Comment on This Did Not Age Well 2 weeks ago:
Definitely written by one of his social media handlers. Just the fact that it isn’t written in all caps shows that.
- Comment on Golden shovel, only for 39.99 plus shipping 2 weeks ago:
Another season of what?
- Comment on The size decrease of fast-food over the last 5 years. 3 weeks ago:
You do have both though, you just prioritise not to.
- Comment on The size decrease of fast-food over the last 5 years. 3 weeks ago:
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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago:
It is much much worse than Enron. The amount of money involved in the AI bubble circlejerk is mindboggling.
- Comment on Manosphere 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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.
- Comment on The power to shitpost more 4 weeks ago:
So you had to be an ad-enjoying American who was alive in 2001 to get it.
- Comment on Birmingham man fined over £140 for stealing sandwich and cookies from Greggs 4 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Literally nobody 4 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on ` ` ` ` 4 weeks ago:
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.
