Lol thanks but that is a youtube video, the image in question is a still, and it is of letters not Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor.

- Comment on AI banners: what owner sees vs what I see 2 days ago:
Tbf, something in a store has to be available before you can steal it, if it is sold out or not yet released it’ll be harder.
And really in this context “theft” is like “piracy is theft,” as much as I also don’t like AI, nobody else was deprived of the banner simply because db0 generated it.
And tbf, “well it was trained on actual artist’s work” and so was almost every artist in history, that’s kind of how it works to a degree. The greats separate themselves but a lot of human created art is derivative.
I mean there’s plenty to get mad at AI for, personally I’m not a fan of how people are using it as a brain replacement, how it enables further the ubiquitous spying, how people want it to replace humanity, oh and y’know literal actual murder robots in the form of autonomous loitering drones is probably a bad idea, and coming soon to a town near you. But that said “theft” isn’t super high up on my list, personally.

“Stupid bitch thinks he’s smart because of his college degree but doesn’t know dick about machining.” Is a less sexist and more accurate interpretation, your degree doesn’t mean you’re better or smarter than anyone else just because they chose another path. This has fuck all to do with sex, race, whatever.
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 5 days ago:
By far. Such a disappointment.
And Fallout 4 was the same, fight me (probably not you “fight me,” I bet you agree based on your TES opinions.)
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 5 days ago:
Honestly I’m inclined to agree with that, and that’s my problem with it. It shouldn’t be the most interesting part but since everything else was so boring it ended up that way.
The major disappointment was that after III and IV had such rich lore and worlds, but by V they must have fired the guy that could write. Having seen what they could do vs what they released was just sad.

Not even just “they don’t adapt,” Skyrim’s side quests might as well not exist they’re so damn boring. “Oohhh a race war” who cares I want to steal cool and varied stuff!
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 6 days ago:
The expansion helped for sure, Shiv Isles.
True though it was for sure smaller (unless you ever tried to “no fast travel” rule yourself then you’ll find out how big it is real quick lmao), but (and I concede Morrowind is just better, it just is there’s no way around it), but while Skyrim was large, effectively “who cares” because it was empty and dull and drab and gray. Cyrodiil is smaller but it’s absolutely gorgeous and vibrant throughout (even in the snow covered regions so that’s no excuse.)
Furthermore, my fundamental issue with Skyrim is the quests are just…dull. The main line is ok (Oblivion’s was better and Morrowind’s better still), but the side quests are abject dogshit, and the side quests historically were my favorite part. I stole a goddamn Elder Scroll, I snuck past every Ancestor Moth, I became the mother fucking Gray Fox, and in skyrim “hey you remember that same dumb silver vase you stole from one dickhead’s house? Steal it again from another dickhead’s house. Gray Fox? Whodat?” I loosened the bolts on a man’s stuffed moose after sneaking through his crawlspace to avoid his paid security, and got a bonus for it, and eventually became The Speaker. In skyrim “go kill that guy. Cool do it again.” The most memorable part of The Brotherhood in skyrim was from oblivion, by Lucian Luchance’s ghost.
I’m gonna be real, I kinda didn’t like skyrim and don’t think I’ll get 6. I’ll replay the oldies. My only real complaint with Morrowind is beast races can’t wear helmets and boots (I understand “human ones wouldn’t fit” but think given their existence in-lore it would make sense for them to have seen human’s wearing them and gone “hey let’s do that for our shape.” I do however accept that the Cats and Lizards might still not though, Argonians being newly freed and technologically behind, and the Kitties need their claws but should have helmets, even if only leather.) My only real complaint with Oblivion is I wish they’d have left a bunch of shit from Morrowind like crossbows etc.

So is Oblivion, though it belongs in the middle spot it happens to occupy numerically as well.

Ohh you don’t know poor people? I know more than one person without internet at home that just torrents at a friend’s house, I’m one of them. Honestly I prefer it this way.
Then maybe just buy a Mac and get 99% of the benefits of a *nix system without needing the appropriate knowledge.
Yup, no poor people, got it. Linux is free using your existing hardware, Mac not so much. Moreover they’re not much better than windows when it comes to privacy and control over your own hardware. Not really sure what benefits you’re talking about because it sure as shit ain’t those, unix based file system maybe, woohoo.
Meanwhile I’ve been using linux for about 7yr without needing to know that garbage because “stick go into hole” works just fine for everyone but you.
He would prefer you sending him a simple WhatsApp message with your pictures instead of having to mess with a thumb drive.
He also cares about privacy actually, so no whatsapp. Delta Chat, but then Image Compression.
No. I need my hourly incremental backup of my entire drive to be fast.
You don’t keep a spare spare spare of your most important files? Do you even offsite backup? Up your paranoia game my guy, skill issue.
- Comment on Anon is incompatible 2 weeks ago:
I don’t have internet spawning from my ass, so it works better in non-connected environments.
More importantly I have no fucking clue what any of that means, but I can plug rectangle into rectangle hole. And absolutely 0 “how to install linux” tuts come with your set-up, so I’m gonna guess most new people don’t know how to either. “Do network magic because some dickhead wants to remove all ports” isn’t going to be a selling point for them.
Can I SCP my dad the pictures of my vacation from 3 states away? Maybe. Would he prefer I mail him a “zip drive?” Yes. Not everyone on earth is a 1337 H4x0r like yourself there zero cool.
You really need your monthly 3rd redundant backup of your .kdbx file to be lightning fast? I can wait the .03 seconds it takes to transfer I’m not in as much of a hurry as you.
- Comment on Anon is incompatible 2 weeks ago:
Me. Linux distros (either install media or straight live boot disks like Tails), moving files larger than like fucking 2gb without relying on spyware or self hosting a cloud service, redundant backups of your most important files, rescue disks, and MORE! Only $16.99 for a limited time while supplies last see comment for details.
- Comment on Anon is incompatible 2 weeks ago:
Furthermore I shouldn’t have to get rid of an old A device that still works just because they remove the ports. I don’t care how old it is let me use my external CD drive with the USB-A to Mini-USB (yes mini lmao.) Wish I still had an optical disk drive tbh.

Bruh if you can use this magic you speak of to upload this video to archive or something you’ll have my undying gratitude, even more so if you release a way to bypass the age gate to the general public. Grayjay, Newpipe, and YTDL all say “gotta sign in bc age” so I can’t download it myself. I know it’s the dumbest video anyone has ever seen but I love it so much.

It does, in this case you can choose not to get the tumor at all.

If we hate LLMs hard enough and they train on that data, can we make them suicidal?
- Comment on Fictional "Journal of Astrological Big Data Ecology" has infected Google's search AI 4 weeks ago:
Tbf it often gets things wrong and has hallucinations already, and while that is still there in traditional searches AI removes it from it’s context and puts it right at the top of the results, where it insinuates that it is the most accurate results.
This highlights the issue quite well imo, it’s easier for a human to understand satire or nuance or context or when to take X with a grain of salt depending on the source and other context clues than it is for a lowly machine to do the same, and when the machine fails at the distinction and pushes false things as truth devoid of (or even with slightly obfuscated) context and by the way it does it while it pretends to be human itself, it makes it easier for the human to just accept it as fact. Should they? Of course not, but currently it seems to be an issue and whether you hate AI or love AI bringing attention to this issue (in a hilarious way no less) can only be a good thing.

I’m just a fellow reader here but if I had to hazard a guess it was either autocorrect from NSA to NASA, or my preferred option “it’s much funnier to say NASA because it’s silly.”

That’s not the important part, the important part is you now must figure out which Linux distro you’ll be installing. I recommend Mint or FedoraKDE.
- Comment on Why is the US so into Israel? 1 month ago:
Ah I see. Well like I said idk what blackmail they may or may not have been historically using, but as for why we’re still doing it I stand by my answer. I’m willing to bet that a portion of it was sympathy for the holocaust at a certain point and then blackmail took over, but that still doesn’t explain pre-'30s zionist support from the UK (like the aforementioned Balfour Declaration).
- Comment on Why is the US so into Israel? 1 month ago:
Well the UK actually started it with the Balfour Declaration and a Rothschild (perhaps unsurprisingly) before WW2.
I also assumed we were talking about today not in 1917, and idk what blackmail they may or may not have been using back then.
- Comment on Why is the US so into Israel? 1 month ago:
This is also definitely the first guy with a secluded location, and the only current one.
- Comment on Why is the US so into Israel? 1 month ago:
Well, Mossad and also their tech companies (very slight difference there lol) are actually very good, so we have to buy spyware from them like palantir or else we can’t intrusively peer into the lives of everyone on earth on a mass scale, and Mossad also just happens to have pedobytes (pun intended) of video data showing our leaders fucking children on some random island totally random yes so they’re able to blackmail the US into being their little bitch. That’s it.
- Comment on She only wanted the ring bros 1 month ago:
Your assumption maybe, but the meme is lambasting men who complain about lack of sex from their wife when in reality their failure to help parenting is the cause, that’s not “assuming all intimacy issues are caused by women refusing to give sex to men,” it’s actually closer to the opposite (though the meme doesn’t say all either, it implies that it at least happens sometimes but not all.)
Many other commenters have also noted that not all physical intimacy is sex, it can be as simple as cuddling up on the couch vs sitting on the opposite side as far away as one can (literally an example pulled from another comment in this thread), and noted that it isn’t just “when baby” it can be a years long pattern even if you do everything right and have nothing to do with babby at all. One commenter even noted that it wasn’t her husband’s fault and he did his job but breastfeeding itself affected her libido. You are the one in here refusing to accept that anything beyond your preconceived notions could possibly be true, and that is why you’re being “mass downvoted,” not because of whatever victim fantasy you’ve concocted in your mind. I hope you get the help you need.
- Comment on She only wanted the ring bros 1 month ago:
This is hilarious watching you crash out ngl. I never said anything of the sort, meanwhile your response to “but what if the man actually does pull his weight and there’s still intimacy issues” was “boo hoo coins sex” bullshit. Sorry to inform you but not every man is your ex husband haha.
- Comment on She only wanted the ring bros 1 month ago:
Women aren’t capable of caring for and making their partners safe and appreciated??
Says the one assuming all intimacy issues are caused by male failure lmao. Wow your ass on outta here with that shit, “generalizations for me but not for thee.” What’s the line again, “If it doesn’t apply to you I wasn’t talking about you?”
- Comment on She only wanted the ring bros 1 month ago:
"Physical intimacy is only sex nothing else, and men who want physical intimacy in an intimate relationship are the problem."
- You.
- Comment on She only wanted the ring bros 1 month ago:
I wish I could be that picky lol, if I had to feel safe, understood, and appreciated I’d still be a virgin lmao. If I ever told a woman “no I want to feel safe, understood, and appreciated” I’d be called an incel. At best she’d get the ick and ghost me, at the most generous interpretation because “if I need that from her how am I going to provide it to her” (but I honestly think it’s because desiring “safety and understanding” isn’t “manly” and “appreciation” “what do you mean…patriarchy…women are the ones who aren’t appreciated…yadda yadda.” Sort of the same deal as the classic “I want a sensitive man who cries” and then the second you do she loses any semblance of respect for you as a person.)
- Comment on She only wanted the ring bros 1 month ago:
But that’s impossible because men bad and women perfect and always the victim.
