Parent comment hasn’t posted the exact wallet shown (AFAICT). And while this is getting off track for something that wasn’t entirely a serious comment to begin with, you don’t have to have the OP and commenters praising a product to be someone selling a product. Create interest, then introduce a link to a product. It always seems more honest if “I’m not sure about (thing), but I have (similar thing) you can get (link here)”, especially if original thing is potentially an AI fake anyway. I’m not really interested in pursuing this hypothetical any further, maybe I’m too cynical, but it’s too easy to push products in a way that seems innocuous.

Bait and switch. Bait you with what you saw, but hey, “look at this product over here!” The thread is almost a direct copy of how AI slop would pull you in. Show you “You’ll never believe this cool thing!” you click on it because it is cool looking, but it redirects you to a site selling similar items but not the cool AI fake thing.

Dude doesn’t want anyone to see his wallet.

It’s so muddy it’s pretty much lost meaning. It’s like saying “69, duuuuude!” to anything as an accent rather than actually meaning “69”. It’s got roots in Basketball, a “6-7 meme kid” and who knows what else.

You’re not worth much as a company if you need to berate employees before they’ve even done anything wrong while making them work holidays.

I’m tired of people acting like they shouldn’t contribute to the betterment of society as a whole because their contribution doesn’t benefit them personally, or benefits others they dislike.
- Comment on Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport called football: ‘We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff’ 3 days ago:
Turning into the Mad King Trump. These absurd name changes and radical military actions like bombing boats and threatening Venezuela.

As much as love the clarity of modern high resolution LCD, I still miss the slightly fuzzy effect CRTs had on the displayed graphics. It was almost artificial AA. When I play old games I wonder why they look crappy. It’s because I can see the sharp edges vs the “soft filter” the CRT added.

Disabling automatic updates should be a no-brainer. Really.
- Comment on No Black Friday deal for loyal/previous customers 1 week ago:
I love how businesses say “Fuck you, pay up.” to longstanding customers and blatantly tell you that the good stuff is only for new customers.
Fuck you, cancel my subscription.
Wouldn’t it be a good idea to give everyone the 20% off for the month or whatever? You’d be like “Yeah! What an awesome company!” and stick with them.

C’mon man. We all know. This is not an edgy take.

Need one that just says “Error.” Send them scurrying to the repair shop or something.

A toothsome pun.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
- Comment on Forever young 2 weeks ago:
Yep. There’s definitely a shorter performance arc when firing up a fast-paced game. Couple short rounds to warm up, then several good rounds, then frustration at why your hits don’t land as hard. Time to take a break. Used to last a lot longer at top level a decade ago.

Adhd “levels”? A quick look around gets anywhere between three and seven levels of adhd depending on the website. Got a reference by a reputable org that lists what levels mean?

How many Au/ADHD can do this vs non-neurospicy? Just curious of there’s a difference or likeliness one way or another.
I can see and manipulate objects in my head. I can make up voices or objects in my head and “hear” them. I can feel an object’s texture without touching it.
I can’t imagine not having these things in my head.

It’s not about being sensible. If you were a sensible parent you wouldn’t have gotten to this stage anyway.
You don’t get to the “destroying stuff” phase without a whole lot of prerequisite parenting failures. Fucking up a lot as a parent by being rigid, do-as-I-say, poor communicator, might-makes-right, and constantly using major threats as coercion to get what you want out of a kid.
So once the kid figures out that, no matter what they do, they’re gonna constantly be in the shit they stop caring about the consequences because it doesn’t change. So the parent will ratchet it up to the destroying stuff phase.
(And a caveat - there’s potential for neurospicy issues with a kid that should be checked, or even a parent, but odds are a family like this isn’t big into mental health anyway. Too many alternative causes to get all pedantic about)
- Comment on This would be terrible for my ad revenue 2 weeks ago:
The advertisers say “don’t associate us with (x) words”. The algorithms push moneymaking videos to the top. If your video is full of things ad companies don’t like, you get fewer ads, down you go.
Nice way to say “We don’t (directly) prevent content from being shown.” It just conveniently works out that way.
- Comment on This would be terrible for my ad revenue 2 weeks ago:
Dunno why it’s so hard to figure out or why people bitch about it.
Posting certain words will often get your social media submission blocked, pushed way down by the algorithm, or run up against a rule of some kind.
So people make up stuff like “unalived” or “sht” or “fck” so they don’t run up against soft censorship.
That’s how it is. It’s not Earth shattering, it’s censorship.

Whatever trump said today will be the opposite tomorrow or the next. Smiles today, threaten to hang Mamdani by next Wednesday.

That group of men who were probably gay yet had turbulent relations with women.
Roy Cohn had several girlfriends and apparently thought about proposing to Barbara Walters. Everything points to him being gay. He was a bullying, brilliant sociopath. Helped out significantly with McCarthyism.
Trump. Just seems to use women, talks trashy about them, but can’t seem to have a decent relationship with a single one. Narcissistic sociopath, definitely not brilliant. Anti-socialist at least.
Possibly John Wayne. Beat the crap out of women, with several relationships and wives. Loved hanging out with men (John Ford and his buddies) Rabid anti-communist, also supporting McCarthy’s Red Scare.
Wonder how many other men were internally and externally destructive thanks to being forced into society’s mold in conflict with who they really were.

- Comment on Do you think there would eventually be technology to delete/replace memories (like the *Men In Black* device). How much do you fear such technology? (like misuse by governments/criminals) 2 weeks ago:
Those are the exception. It still is essentially uncontrollable. I don’t know what mental or physical state the survivors are in.

They can‘t make sure it doesn’t kill you or control it. Rabies is essentially fatal. However it would certainly take your memories in death.
