- Comment on How long until we can start shorting years to 2 numbers again? 58 minutes ago:
In the 30s you can start talking about the 20s. It will be annoying at first because people will try to be funny and/or get intentionally get confused that you’re talking about the 1920s.
I’d imagine talking the way you’re being nostalgic about will be in full swing by the 2040s.
- Comment on Do you ever watch old classic TV shows and realize that they are all dead 2 days ago:
Why not use a picture from a show where the actors are all actually dead?

I mean…I’m sure it came from something I said to it…all LLMs are good for is being agreeable and reflecting what you want back to you…provided what you ask for is simple.
- Comment on Lol, lmao even. 6 days ago:
There’s a lot of a disagreement to be had here…but AI is a topic where we all pretty much seem to agree.
I’ve experimented with AI (so-called chatbots) and the best that can be said about it is it’s a tool…not even a good tool…for starting a project when you’re stuck. It’s absolutely unreliable for anything approaching a final project. I guess…it’s really great if you enjoy being pissed off that it can both mine valid obscure information, while at the same time lye to your face over and over…but then do a 180 on something that’s true or a lie just because you tell it to.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 6 days ago:
Celery is used because it’s cheap…and it’s bitter balancing onions and other cheap stock items that tend to be sweet. A stock shouldn’t be sweet or bitter because it’s something you “work up”.
“Everybody” doesn’t use it tho. Some stocks are “garbage can” stocks, using whatever unservable scraps that come from food preparation…others are from ingredients purchased to make the stock like a Mirpoix (the most common stock base that uses celery).
There are lots of people like you that say celery ruins stock…there are many others that say bell peppers ruin stock…but then there are core stocks made from bell peppers.
Just do what tastes good.

Right? I know more shit than some people on some topics…and less shit than other people on other topics.
Expertise might be what they were going for…but they can’t say that because AI can’t have expertise on anything.

“Intelligence” is such a dumb word.

Sounds like a job for Gabor Mate…
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 1 week ago:
You can definitely make an argument that “proactive” protection is a strategy :)
I needed your stuff so I could have more stuff.
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 1 week ago:
Yeap.
Like…depending on the nature of the collapse you might have a bunch of delusional former MAGA people in a region who all have a bunch of gold so they trade it with each other…but for the most part nobody would want it.

Bullets should be saved for protecting your community…trap and snare your animals :)
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 1 week ago:
I assume you’re talking about physical gold.
Yes, it’s generally a scam. Some middle man is going to take a cut of what it’s worth before you enter the market - and they’re almost always going to misrepresent it’s value, especially if it’s not in the form of a stamped bar. Then you basically have to store it and shlep it and secure it and keep it secret, which will further diminish profit. Then you have to sell it, presumably as part of your retirement plan…or leave it to somebody who’s going to lose even more of its value when they want to unload it inefficiently.
If you’re not wealthy in the first place it’s only worth investing in as a hobby…because you have to factor in the value of your time and subtract that from its value, as well.

I’m not funny but…
…something about “my wife and my boss seeing if I can multitask”…

I don’t think he really ever had them. He was making what…250 grand a month from the Russians (some ridiculous number)? When he lost that cash he immediately changed his format from Russian propaganda to toxic centrism to try and steal viewers from people like Candace Owens…and it’s didn’t work.
- Comment on ☪️⛎♑️☦️ 2 weeks ago:
Tim Pool is struggling for relevance after he got his spigot of Russian money cut off.
I don’t know if somebody fired a gun or made some sort of noise near his home…but I certainly know that Tim is disingenuous and a liar and I don’t doubt he would sensationalize, exaggerate or completely invent an event to improve his ratings now that he has to rely on listeners to make money.

- Comment on Greed is Destroying the World - Drew Gooden 2 weeks ago:
Huh, why are you talking about Marx?
Do you believe fear and greed are mutually exclusive?
- Comment on Greed is Destroying the World - Drew Gooden 2 weeks ago:
Is comparing greed to evil really appropriate? Just because Gengis Khan existed doesn’t mean all other humans get a pass.
Trying to separate culture from politics isn’t possible.
You’re projecting a lot onto a very brief question I posed…and you’re doing everything but answering it.
- Comment on Greed is Destroying the World - Drew Gooden 2 weeks ago:
Lots to agree with here.
…but you’re very far afield from my question.
- Comment on WHY??? 2 weeks ago:
Things like Hexagons and the golden spiral occurring in nature are interesting - but very well-travelled.

Right?
When “malignant” progressives like Kyle Kulinski are still fucking addicted to Twitter - they ultimately do more harm than good.
- Comment on Something is very wrong with the HBO Max 4K version of Mad Men 2 weeks ago:
Ok…sure…fine.
But why do so many people still use Twitter?
- Comment on Greed is Destroying the World - Drew Gooden 2 weeks ago:
Right. The question is: are Americans genetically pre-disposed to be more greedy, or is it their system that makes them that way?
- Comment on Anon asks out a girl 3 weeks ago:
One might need to “underpin” their backstory a bit before wandering into a church and spitting game. Sounds like a lot of effort…almost like you should go to church for your whole life, first. Of course, Anon would be the same person - the church girls would also be rejecting him - then people would tell him to just go to a bar.
