- Comment on Someone, I'm thinking with multiple accounts, is downvoting EVERY comment I make. Mildly aggravating, mostly sad for someone like that. Can I find out who and just block them? 18 hours ago:
Up/down voting should just be removed. It does nothing, means nothing and only causes people to bitch. It’s annoying.
I question the sanity of anyone who gives even half a fuck about fake internet points.
- Comment on He took it literally 1 day ago:
I mean strictly speaking by using a language other than the native one of the court you were conspiring with your mother.
Conspiring is just planning or acting jointly with another in secret in its most mundane form.
If your hiding your conversation by changing the language that is text book boring mundane conspiracy.
Even if you didn’t intend to hide it, you were in fact doing so. It’s entirely understandable for a court to demand you speak the language of the court or have a translator present to ensure everyone understands.

If America has to go full warmonger those over seas will be fine if they can last the initial onslaught.
It’s more Canada and Mexico that will just get absolutely fucked.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 4 days ago:
That change would only ever make things worse for everyone but Americans.
Cause all it would do is make America pull it’s entire military budget from playing world corrupt police force. To super earth the prequel.
Win or lose, the last group to realize war is bad will be the USA. And that’s a loss for everyone.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 4 days ago:
If America is allowed to concentrate 100% of its military budget purely and ultimately for ourselves then everyone is fucked.
A large part of the balance of the world really comes down to America has 50+ years of spreading it self thin.
America going full ham on a proper war would not end well for anyone including the American people.
- Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing? 1 week ago:
Gamegrumps are not a reaction channel. I don’t think you fundamentally understand what a reaction video is…
It’s a video with a silent face super imposed and nothing else. THATS IT.
- Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing? 1 week ago:
Your talking about entirely different videos. The ones everyone is talking never have any actual commentary.
That’s the ENTIRE point of them. They literally only point nod and stay silent.

The stupid fucking finger point and tap. Hope these useless sacks of shit get decked in the face.
- Comment on i can't handle coffee 1 week ago:
Don’t mix caffeine and sugar is typically the best advice in that instance.
- Comment on i can't handle coffee 1 week ago:
No it’s not…? Like not even close. The FDA safe limit is 400 mg. So 4 shot sis like half the daily recommended.
At 256 mg of caffeine it’s slightly over the single serving recommendation. Which is 200.
And that’s just the recommended. The safe limit is 700-800g a day.
Seriously unless your have a caffeine sensitivity 300-400 mg a day should literally be nothing to most people over a 12 hour period.

Hard to dislike or be against something. When your too uneducated and ignorant to do much more the breath and blink at the same time.

You can report your own rent to the credit bureaus. Hell I report the rent I paided to family in cash and they accepted it and it rose my credit score. You just have to show reoccurring costs and bank statements.

Hes right in the same sense that saying the sky is blue is technically correct. If you ignore the countless other colors it can be.

You get a bike and hate life for a few years.
Around me a 2 hour bike ride one way is not abnormal for a commute. Across freeways and up mountains. It’s extremely not bike friendly here.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand credit scores 1 week ago:
Only the Uber wealthy credit cards really have annual fees. For everything else they just expect a minium balance of like 20 bucks. My bank only wants 12.50 in a savings acct and there’s no fee for checking or saving.
If your checking acct or credit card has an annual fee and it’s not an absurdly high end amex or some shit then it’s likely a predatory acct and not a real bank or credit union.

Do… You know what a furry is? Zooaphilies are a different thing.
To insinuate they are the same is like saying everyone who has sex is a pedophile. It’s nonsense.

You would very likely lose all access to any and all resources and bank accounts you had in the event something like this happened. It’s pretty much guaranteed that if it ain’t in your pocket you won’t have access to it.

- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 2 weeks ago:
People claimed Photoshop would cause a monoculture if you honestly and genuinely believe that AI will as well you’re stupid as f***. Like there is no way you can look back on the history of computers, art or human innovation in genuinely believe that anything at any point could create an artistic monoculture.
No, it won’t happen. It physically cannot happen humans for the sake of being goddamn stubborn s*** stands will make counterculture art for the sake of it.
The concept of a monoculture is an infeasible made-up nonsensical b******* idea. Humans are too diverse in our whims for to ever happen.
The only way a monoculture could come about is if everyone but one person died off. And that person also decided to never make any form of artistic expressive anything till the day he died.

Don’t produce a result that’s satisfies you yet. Early programming also was absolute dog s***.
Give it 20 years, and there’s bound to be new things that will replace the current concept of AI that do functionally the same thing just in a manner that actually does produce good results.
Just like we did with everything else computing related.
Hating a tool is the single stupidest f****** thing anyone can do.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 2 weeks ago:
Give it another 5 years maybe and local self-trainable models and alternative versions of it will be available that won’t have all the theft problems, surveillance problems and other issues. The tech is new and mainly controlled by giant companies right now.
It’s not like the tech is going to forever exist in a vacuum in the exact state. It’s in nothing ever does. Makes it doubly silly to get mad over a tool.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 2 weeks ago:
It’s almost as if AI as a tool isn’t the problem. Instead it’s just a bunch of misinformation idiots not understanding the actual problems and misdirected anger.
AI as a tool is fine. It’s no f****** different than Photoshop.
The problem is companies breaking copyright law and stealing information and data to train the models in the first place.
A model trained off non-solen artwork used with intent is perfectly fine.
It’s not like we go around demanding everyone say that they use Photoshop whenever they do because oh they could be tricking us and it’s not hand drawn. No, we just expect digital art to be made with digital tools.
Ai’s problem is one of legal issues, not artistic ones and people need to get out of their own asses about it at this point. It’s a f****** tool. Any tool used wrong is bad. A tool used correctly with purpose and intent is fine.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 2 weeks ago:
No no see. That’s not nuanced what that guy is saying is nuanced being a Hardline a****** is the nuance takes so you’re clearly in the wrong here. Sorry man it just is what it is.
It’s like people have completely f****** forgotten what Photoshop was like when it first hit the scene. The same anti-ai b******* we’re seeing now was leveled completely against Photoshop and basically all digital art.
Go back and look in the history books and read old diaries and things and you’ll find that photography had all the same anti-ai sentiment that we’re seeing now labeled against it.
Artists have always adopted just because people are abusing. A new tool does not make the tool bad. It just makes those who are abusing it assholes. Given time artists will adapt in new forms of art. Well come forth from those tools.
Cuz no matter what you say about AI, if you create and model yourself trained it entirely on your own art and then used it to create deconstructions or modern takes using computers of your own artwork. That’s still f****** hard. It doesn’t matter that it was processed through an AI slot machine. They’re still artistic intent behind the process.
The only problem with AI right now is that big companies are breaking copyright laws with it. Hell you can make a solid argument that the problem isn’t even AI. It’s just the law breaking around it and the lack of actual intent to use the tools for artistic purposes instead of just cost saving.
Cuz as much as we all can make fun of quote" prompt engineers. Someone’s sitting down tuning the model putting in specialized data for its training to generate their exact intent is still effort. It’s still in intent. There are people who are making the equivalent of modern art using generative AI.
People always s*** on new art forms for not being art because it uses some new tool that isn’t traditional and therefore isn’t art. This stuff has been around for a handful of years. Give it enough time and their well-being actual proper art forms that will be built up around these tools. It has happened for hundreds if not thousands of years in human history with every new tool that we have made.
We just need to direct the anger to the correct place. S***** companies breaking the law, not the tools.

By this logic you could also ban Photoshop, tablets and any other software or hardware tool that has improved accessibility and workflow over the years.
AI is a tool, flat out banning it won’t and can’t work. It’s too fucking useful.
People said that anyone who used Photoshop wasn’t a real artist, people said computer graphics weren’t real art.
At some point you DO have to draw an arbitrary line. Because that’s all. Art is arbitrary all of it since the dawn of mankind making art. It’s all arbitrary. If you only make hard lines that completely block tools, all you’re doing is harming artists.
The entire point of drawing arbitrary lines is to allow for artists to keep making art. Why dissuading people from abusing others.
So do you want no one to be able to do anything or do you want things to actually have artistic expression which is arbitrary.

It became extremely calm and after Obamacare passed that a lot of rural America stopped allowing people to work more than 25 hours a week so they don’t qualify for health insurance and it saves the employer quite a lot of money.
Basically they just double up the hires to fill all shifts as stupid as it is. It does save a lot of money
