I blocked ML, then blocked Trump and Elon as keywords.
I don’t see this behaviour much anymore.
Someone took the time to make this comic. Don’t be that person. You’re better than that and should enjoy much more enriching things than exhausting your energy into the black hole that goes no where, but you’ve been socially led to think is somehow important and noticed.
Step 1. Start blocking the tribe’s.camp sites.

Only depends if you like what you do and how personally involved you get with jobs.
- Comment on Not enough people buying Premium, eh? 3 weeks ago:
Depends. While compressing the video, it will create repetition,.artificial motion blur, etc. Either through software or directly on the device itself with its own software—GoPros are notoriously bad for this, for example.
Then when uploading to YT, it has its.own compression—because billions of petabytes—which will introduce your classic.nearest neighbour type compression problems. Colour spots, blurring, flat.comtraats,.etc. All in an effort to keep bitrate and thus the file size down.
But as I said, it’s unusual to have content on YT of this quality where nitrate “ruins” the experience. There’s much worse problems at the forefront in amateur and/or.fast content video.
- Comment on Not enough people buying Premium, eh? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t notice it on a 75" TV.
But when 99% of the content on YouTube is struggling to just get focusing right, pursuing higher quality bitrates is a useless priority. It’s all trash amateur TV. Resolution is not a factor here.
- Comment on NYPD officers brutally detain a pro-Palestinian protestor (April 2024) [Day 28] 3 weeks ago:
I had that at a venue yesterday. And it was awful music. It felt like I got sucked into the Hallmark universe.
It was the first time in many years that I complained to staff and they were happy I did and immediately put normals music on.
I didn’t know humans were capable of producing such shit.

There’s no approximation in literalism! If that glass isn’t a beaker, you find the nearest means to measure and.go to town. I’ll accept 1 thumb length of water to ait at 1 thumb length minus the thickness of a bank card and driver’s licence…

I had a knock off one too.
The creature started as an egg, then a small lizard, then dinosaur thing, then dragon. At which point it would fly away and you “won”. Then you just start over lol.

- Comment on Sure, mom, liberals are racists 4 weeks ago:
Always? The “classical” in your article does not mean what you think it does. Just like post-modernism doesn’t mean “the future”. Capitalism didn’t even exist in the era it’s referencing, rightfully referring to laissez faire instead—something capitalism would eventually arise from.
One of the strongest criticisms of capitalism by liberals is its failure to achieve a moral and equitable distribution of resources. The violation of social freedoms for sake of a market’s freedom. Markets obv play a vital role in driving economic growth but persistent issues such as corruption and institutional weaknesses prevent social justice.
Even Adam Smith criticised laissez faire in the end because, surprise surprise, it was yet another great idea on paper that was incompatanle with human nature. The result is the freedom of some encroaching on the freedom of others; i.e. fundamentally anti liberal.
A liberal will support freedom in a market but never support the exploitation or inequality of individual freedoms, such as the outcomes of pure capitalism. Someone that claims to be a liberal while their ideals strip people’s liberties is a fucking wolf in sheep’s clothing.

- Comment on Sure, mom, liberals are racists 4 weeks ago:
It’s quite clear to me that almost no one in the US—or those “educated” by US politics on social media—has any fucking idea what a “liberal” fundamentally is and always has been. It’s going to become another one of those great terms ruined by a takeover of idiots—not that I’m directly calling your mom an idiot.
But ffs, when the French gifted that statue, it wasn’t because they were pro-capitalism, burning books, fucking off women’s rights, and bringing the legal system into every facet of society.

True. It ain’t cheap. I got all the gear for it and thought about doing that recently because it’s geographically much closer than the Eurasia Alps.
Nope.
That boat from Australia is VERY expensive. Without expedition sponsorship or a science grant, not happening.

Not wrong. For me, Grey is a colour, Gray is an American surname. Except for Grey’s Anatomy. The Americans had to consider with that one because of the book, but I’m sure Americans thought it was exotic. That’s why they called the other show House and not Condo. Marketability.
- Comment on Male vs female birds 4 weeks ago:
For as far back as I can remember, my mates and I have used the term “peacocking” to describe the more "physically focused* males. And it works. Not for anyone is have found attractive, but they get “chicks” and “birds”.
- Comment on PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery 5 weeks ago:
PEGI and many other groups are private groups. They’re not an authority of any form. They’re not associated with government, public regulation, or public election. They’re a group of people that create their own standards outside of the ISO or any actual regulation representing the public.
Some countries do have actual public systems, but many just have these private groups that know best.

The same Canaanites from Noah’s son because after everyone was killed by a flood, God deemed them all to be good people worth saving?
He sure seemed to fuck it up and have to wipe out humans quite a few times. But that’s what you get for putting a tree in Eden for no other reason but to introduce sin to the innocent and trick humans into thinking Lucifer was the evil one.
And now he loves America. Just don’t tell the Italians.
Starting to see a pattern of bad outcomes for whoever makes a deal with this guy at the time…

Now it’s still all WW2 revisited with “never before seen” enhanced footage, usually centred around Hitler. Clone, clone, clone.
I’d like to see them challenge themselves to have to actually dig up some info for once.
- Comment on Achilleis NOOO 5 weeks ago:
There needs to be a term for someone that ignores everything like a sieve, but manages to catch the smallest of morsels off which to launch a fallacious diatribe, as though nothing else happened.
They’re not.a.troll; they’re something quite different. A mix of insecurity, hyperfocusing, a tendency to exercise many argument fallacies, a resolve that can deny itself, no clear purpose in its behaviour beyond either “winning” or perhaps just seeking social interaction.
I’d go with “Teflon” because nothing sticks, but it doesn’t cover their wannabe polemicist nature.
