- Comment on AI Job interview warns against using AI yourself 12 hours ago:
In other words, it doesn’t matter because if they think you used AI then younised AI because they won’t let you defend yourself against false accusations, so fuck ypu
- Comment on Just to get this straight. If I stand outside a voting center and give each person 500 bucks to vote for me. That is illegal? But if I am a Dipshit In Chief and offer 5k that is 100 percent legal? 22 hours ago:
One difference is that you’d be lying avputbthe former whereas the latter would be a political thing you’d kinda have to do
- Comment on Why does most of the world use WhatsApp as their messaging app rather than RCS/SMS? 1 day ago:
Because SMS sucks, always has, for many reasons
Give me a federated XMPP based messenger with all the same features as WhatsApp and then… Well, I’ll install it but I still wouldn’t use it because nobody is using it
That is the core of the matter: everybody uses WhatsApp because everybody uses WhatsApp
- Comment on [Video] Woman assaulted after heckling Nigel Farage at his conference 1 day ago:
He said that after laughing about her getting assaulted
Farrage needs to meet tar and feathers and that would get him off super lightly

- Comment on Fuckin CEO's and billionaires gotta go 3 days ago:
I’m sure the timing is very coincidental and has nothing to do with the recent AFD win
People like this will happily burn the world so that they can rule over the ashes
- Comment on This camouflaged speed bump 6 days ago:
It’s a wide straight road which invites people to drive faster
If you want them to slow down automatically, make the road smaller. People will slow down. Swerve the road slightly, people will slow down. Needs it to be a slow road? Put obstacles left and right requiring the cars to swerve slowly
There are great many ways to build roads, the USA doesn’t have many

- Comment on This camouflaged speed bump 2 weeks ago:
That badly designed road that invites speeding in the first place. Design it well, you won’t need speed bumps

Yeah good luck with that. You really believe that will ever happen?
- Comment on How do I identify someone who has deleted their post? 2 weeks ago:
You are actively taking time out of your day to block a person who didn’t stick around long enough to hear you out
You need to go outside and touch grass. Get a girlfriend or boyfriend, those are fun too
- Comment on Christmas is upon us 2 weeks ago:
Its not so much about what they sell and what they sell, its more about that stores do this to squeeze every last penny out of an event that supposedly for once should would not be about money, cheapening the entire thing to just another money tit for the rich
That’s what pisses people off
- Comment on There's No Reason to Buy a New Phone Anymore 3 weeks ago:
About a year ago I bought a ulefone armour 29, the first phone I’ve been excited about since 10 years at least.
Its has all the standard features like a 50 mpixel camera, etc but it also has a 20.000+ mAh battery that lasts a week, it has a real FLIR infra red camera which works quite well, a night vision camera, a huge LED light bank that can light up a complete garden or burn out youtbeye balls if you stare into it. It has a small display on the back that can show a clock or compass or camera display even, without using the main screen. It also has emergency red blue flash lights that can make someone think you’re police if you put it on your dashboard.
Its also huge and heavy, 700+ grams. Its built like a tank and I’ve only been able to find one protection case for it as it kinda sorta doesn’t really need one. Hell, this thing can be used as a self defense weapon of someone attacks you. At night, with a single button I activate that light and my attacker will not break able to see anything for minutes and a single smack in the face with this thing will make you reconsider life choices.
Yeah, most of these features are semi useful at best but boy is it fun for a nerd to use it.
Its also a great conversation piece. Anytime I pull this monster out, people look, and the questions start.
My next phone will need to have at least all these features and more. Add a UV camera, add a Geiger counter, add whatever feature you can think of. That will make me buy a nre phone again, nothing else will.
- Comment on Why we're so sure our phones are listening 3 weeks ago:
Make that 20+ years here. Hell, 30+ years. I can’t remeber ever buying something because I saw a commercial for it. The one thing, maybe, was a CD that I bought after hearing a commercial for it on TV, yeah, about 30+ years ago
- Comment on What are examples of anachronisms you've seen from movies depicting historical settings? 3 weeks ago:
You mean the “we will rock you” part in mideval times while the song hadn’t been written for another thousand years?
Yeah, but then again, they kinda made a point to just be funny and go with it :)

Maybe, but didn’t he actually plagiarize a lot of his work?

- Comment on Supporters of famous influencer Andrew Tate rally in Miami 3 weeks ago:
Oh my god I’ve never seen such a big flock of losers bunched up in a twist like this. The push ups are just cringe level sadness. I would just want to give them a hug and tell them it will be okay, if it wasn’t that they are all such raging assholes

It was well over 3000 IIRC, and I did. It was a tragedy for the individuals but as a country it was more than well deserved
- Comment on No Spoiler 👁️⃤ 5 weeks ago:
Americans … protesting
You’re kidding, right? If Americans are incapable of doing anything, its protesting. And don’t tell me about the sad “no kings” protests, that was nothing.
I know that many Americans, maybe even most, don’t agree with US policies, but that is the problem: you’ve allowed a tiny rich minority to abuse your and other countries for well over a century and you haven’t done shit to stop that. Its gone on for so long that most left wing people in the USA are still having right wing ideas because you dont even know better
- Comment on Local Walmart just installed cameras in the aisles… 5 weeks ago:
You do understand that many of the claims made about what AI can do ate extremely overstated at best?
AI companies have an extreme circular investment scheme going on and for the bilkuins invested with only a fraction of the running cost coming in, even investors are starting to get itchy. I give AI a full 6 more months before the entire bubble (or ponzi scheme even, at this point) pops and will come crashing down, taking enyitr economies with it.
- Comment on Uber’s Strategy for Fighting Sexual Assault Suits: ‘What Were You Wearing?’ 5 weeks ago:
Ms. Silverberg also probed Ms. Doe’s childhood, asking if she had felt abandoned by her father or degraded by her mother.
She pushed Ms. Doe for details about consensual sex and asked whether she had previously been sexually abused or had sex in exchange for money. That is when her lawyer ended the deposition.
It is extremely hard not to feel like ms. Silverberg should get some personal experience on how it is to he raped. Fuck all of this, this woman should be disbarred. This has nothing to do with justice, this is just setting an example: you get raped because of us? Try and hold us responsible for our actions and we will destroy you
- Comment on Local Walmart just installed cameras in the aisles… 5 weeks ago:
The cost of AI to do all this will be higher than any profits they could possibly make, but the managers who came up with this shot already committed and in the end they can just put that cost on the consumers anyway
- Comment on No Spoiler 👁️⃤ 5 weeks ago:
America has been punching and kicking countless countries since WWII, causing thousands if not millions of deaths (Iraqi “freedom” alone caused like 300.000 Iraqi deaths IIRC) and the second that somebody punches back and gives them a bloody nose its all crying and needing to make 50 movies about the heroes of that day, and of course it was immediately used to implement the “patriot” act (hint, it has shit to do with patriotism and everything with making the IS an autocratic state)
I get it, of course. For the individuals that died or were injured that day, it’s a tragedy, but as a country? They completely deserved it and much, much more
- Comment on Amazon thought it would be a good idea to not include subtitles in a film made entirely with sign language. 5 weeks ago:
I get your point bit if anyone is trying to draw attention to the plights of deaf people, this is not the way how to do it
If I want to see this movie, I’ll get very annoyed, turn it off within 5 minutes and I’ll chrcl something else. Where is the attention now?
- Comment on Student who wrote about 'anti-Jewish hatred' linked to multiple Israel groups 5 weeks ago:
So, again
Every time antisemitism comes up these days it comes basically from the Israeli government, the IDF, or some Israeli organization.
Seriously, Israel, the IDF and these organizations are by far the biggest generators and spreaders of antisemitism
