- Comment on Google used AI to suspend over 39M ad accounts suspected of fraud 1 day ago:
Oh the third hand, Google fomented the scam ads that then took over that they are now using their AI tool to solve, and it’s come very late to the table to do so. They shouldn’t have to rely on AI to clean up their mess. They should have been facilitating protocols to vet ads long before now. At best the AI might be faster, but those results will still more than likely need to be checked by people (at the very least, appeals will be, but perhaps most of these scam ad companies won’t try to appeal).
With the use of AI to deny or approve healthcare insurance claims etc, this is exactly why we should be pushing for legislation that regulates AI. There’s too many people who are all “cats out of the bag” and not enough people going, we should be regulating this.
- Comment on Why Are Gamers UPSET With The Switch 2?! - The Act Man 3 days ago:
It’s a bad time for an increase economically. But when you realize that we have been paying $60 USD for games since at least the 90’s and $60 in 90’s money is something like $150 in 2025 money, you realize just how good we’ve had it for a long time. And then take into account that games have become more and more expensive to make (yeah yeah I understand that a lot of the cost is down to a lot of non-game development relevant jobs), you don’t start to wonder why they didn’t increase prices before?
- Comment on Why Are Gamers UPSET With The Switch 2?! - The Act Man 4 days ago:
Some of them are just fine with the switch 2 hardware and even understand that game prices have been stagnant for some time. But Nintendo has been constantly showing us they aren’t a company we want to continue to support and if you couple that with affordability you’re gonna have a bad time.
They’re charging $90 for a game that plays better on non-oem hardware than it did on it’s original intended hardware, a game a lot of fans have already bought (who would still need to pay an additional $10 fee just to get the game running the way it probably should have run from the start).
I mean this in the best possible way, but Nintendo fans are avid collectors and they want this, but Nintendo dissuades them in multiple ways from showing support.
- Comment on Tech tariff exemptions are only temporary, according to Trump’s commerce secretary 4 days ago:
The sarcasm lost on you, or?
- Comment on Tech tariff exemptions are only temporary, according to Trump’s commerce secretary 4 days ago:
So, did the market tumble again after he said this nonsense?
- Comment on Trump excludes smartphones, computers, chips from tariffs 5 days ago:
Waiting to see if the prices still go up, because between this and the fact that windows 10 support is ending in October, I’m sure these companies are still going to try to gouge people.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 GameCube controller is only compatible with GameCube games, Nintendo says 1 week ago:
That sucks since it has analog triggers and a lot of people I watch were hoping it could be used for certain shooters.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con may have the same stick drift problem as original Switch 1 week ago:
I will say that in the latest pair of Joycons I didn’t even wait. I just swapped them for hall effect ones from ifixit. Well worth it in my opinion.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con may have the same stick drift problem as original Switch 1 week ago:
Nope. I’ve sent several pairs of Joycons (at least 4 sets) to be repaired by Nintendo absolutely free of charge. Never had an issue though I remember the process being a little convoluted.

Not what I thought of when I rear the words “date everything”.
- Comment on Musk's xAI buys social media platform X for $45 billion 2 weeks ago:
You know. This sounds like some shit Terry Pratchett wrote about in “Making Money”. Product is making money hand over fist, but never turns a profit so they sell it to themselves with its own money or something.
- Comment on TikTok ban loses momentum as fewer Americans view it as a security threat 2 weeks ago:
I’m so tired of people who literally won’t look at their threat model and admit that this app could even potentially be a threat to them in any way.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I guess that tidbit was added in later by OP when people started asking questions.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 4 weeks ago:
The cafe has bins. OP amended the post admitting that they do. The bins are inside, but either way, they do exist.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 4 weeks ago:
Yeah but the Cafe does have bins inside. It’s just the park that removed the public waste bins.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 4 weeks ago:
Littering used to be illegal most places. It should be illegal pretty much every public place. If you’re breaking the law, you’re criminalizing yourself. This is like saying we shouldn’t resurface roads because it criminalizes speeders.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 4 weeks ago:
And they should be fined for dumping.
- Comment on This fucking bot is still out there messaging 5 weeks ago:
Or, **I love you, send me naked pictures and I’ll send you naked pictures and then “my father” will find out and contact you to extort money from you for sending and receiving underaged porn images and if you don’t send money they’ll report you to the police. **
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I had seen posts like this circulating before so I tried to track them down:
Some of these posts suggest they are using the pictures of someone else on purpose. Some say they’re a bot. I personally haven’t gotten these messages but I don’t get DM’s so that’s probably why. I’m pretty positive this is some kind of Honeypot scam. Either way I would trust it.

Didn’t know this was a thing. Can’t remember the last time I bought anything from Starbucks. But it’s dumb and wasteful of people’s time, including baristas.

- Comment on Xbox Sales Hit Rock Bottom After Historic 2024 Decline 1 month ago:
Just about to put everyone I know who has the latest gen Xbox had trouble acquiring one. The pandemic messed up the launch of both games and the manufacture/availability of the consoles and unlike the switch and PS5 (which have worldwide popularity), the Xbox just never seems to have recovered because Americans went from a point in time where they had a lot more free time and potentially money (with the stimulus), right back to the grind with stagnant wages and housing crisis etc. Can’t say I’m surprised that it’s not selling well these days.
- Comment on I worked hard on this meme and now I can't use it because the guy's a Nazi 1 month ago:
There are not mere allegations. He is screaming it on every social media he has. He is literally labeling himself as a Nazi and screaming (all caps) racist nonsense every chance he gets online and in interviews. This same guy was trying to buy Parler.
- Comment on I worked hard on this meme and now I can't use it because the guy's a Nazi 1 month ago:
The problem I have is he does not divorce who he was from who he is now in this way. The memes (and literally bany post written about him or that mentions him) inflate his ego and feed his sense of self worth. That’s the problem with meming him.
More recent posts show him in a bad light and obviously hurt his feelings. But posts like this feed his ego and I don’t agree with that.

It looks like the wealthy friend flew instead of driving down or taking the bus down with their friends. They’re upset because it’s just more useless pollution and a loss of time that the friend group could have spent together having a good experience.

- Comment on What are your favorite board games? I'm looking for games that are satisfying and lead to a sense of accomplishment or fulfillment or connection. 2 months ago:
I don’t know if I’d considered it a board game, but the Forbidden Island game (and the others like it) spring to mind. The idea is that you and the other players have to work together to gather everything you need including the treasure you came for before the island you’re on sinks into the ocean.
It’s fun working together and I always thought it did a good job of incentivising that.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
People don’t want to wake up. They see horrors every day and look no further than the surface of them. They are horrified by things they do not even begin to understand. But they’ll push a narrative if you put it in front of them and they feel reasonably selfrighteous about it.
That’s why nobody is out there actively eating the rich and becoming the Luigi they want to see in the world.

The secret is to get filthy rich, I guess. Money ≠ Repercussions.
