Remember kids, Juggalo makeup defeats facial recognition. Woop woop!

If you can point out to republican voters how the DMCA fucks them too, you can bury your shitty GOP rep in calls and letters which might make them change.
Maybe.
- Comment on Why did Thanos, with the power of all the infinity stones, never think to try doubling the amount of resources in the world? 2 weeks ago:
That’s in the comics. We’re talking about the movies, where the personification of death is not a factor.
- Comment on Why did Thanos, with the power of all the infinity stones, never think to try doubling the amount of resources in the world? 2 weeks ago:
Because it’s a pretty dumb story at its core. Because they wanted the “worst villain” but couldn’t come up with something more interesting or intelligent than “misguided environmental terrorist.”
- Comment on I don't think so 2 weeks ago:
Yep. Much like the swastika was a Hindu and Buddhist symbol (that Hindus and Buddhists have largely given up b/c Nazis) “volk” is one of those things the Nazis tainted for good.

- Comment on They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you? 3 weeks ago:
I never played RDR2 because I played 1 and GTA 4 and I just don’t like how Rockstar games play.

Honestly impressive for a 20+ year-old game to still inspire hot takes.HL2 remains undefeated.

This is kind of tangential to the question, but an incredibly irritating former friend would not shut the fuck up about Elden Ring for months after it came out and kept telling me to get it. I told him I didn’t like souls-like games and he said ER was “different” without explaining how. I still haven’t played it, even with recommendations from other people I trust. Same guy ensured I’ll never play Death Stranding, too.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 4 weeks ago:
The issue with that is the toxic/racist/homophobic/transphobic people will by their behavior push out people who would otherwise contribute to development of projects. To have a big tent you can’t tacitly accept bigotry.
- Comment on You might be proud but she is disgusted 4 weeks ago:
Same. On the handful of occasions I’ve been asked I still don’t want to do it.

Use tongs to remove the offending item from the area.
- Comment on Fake Protest Videos Are the Latest AI Slop to Go Viral in MAGA World 4 weeks ago:
Even if the images were real, I see a woman using her first amendment right to speech and assembly being assaulted by someone who has sworn to uphold the constitution.
- Comment on Flock Safety and Texas Sheriff Claimed License Plate Search Was for a Missing Person. It Was an Abortion Investigation. 4 weeks ago:
And if miscarriage is abortion, then “god” is the most prolific abortionist of all, since a majority of fertilized ova do not implant in the uterus or do implant but get expelled in the next period.
- Comment on Do you think he knows? He's gotta know. 4 weeks ago:
You don’t call a guy a “sexual matador” if he’s not a cuck. (He’s “dodging the bull.”)
I’d put $10 on Steven Miller being a virgin who has always just watched girlfriends getting fucked by other guys. Mostly because it would be worth $10 just to have him prove otherwise, ideally in the most technical sense (“I don’t watch, I jerk off as the girl tells me about it later.”)
- Comment on A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman 4 weeks ago:
I think pushing the button on a Casio keyboard is more akin to tracing your favorite comics panel than using an LLM image generator.

Phrasing should be “I don’t think this is my order, much less my species.”
- Comment on US | White House official inadvertently reveals plans to send elite army unit to Portland 4 weeks ago:
The tapas chefs can do the world a solid and innovate the use of fly-agaric mushrooms in dishes for the airborne troops.
- Comment on When a person gains weight and keeps the weight on for a long time, is that old fat in your body, or does the fat get replaced over time? 4 weeks ago:
Seems like that would be an argument for liposuction as a way to supplement other weight loss because it would remove those cells.
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 4 weeks ago:
I would argue that this is not really true under capitalism. The logic of capitalism is one of capital accumulation, which requires growth. Under other systems you still have markets and money and profits but there are other goals than the accumulation of capital and therefore achieving “homeostasis” is a successful strategy-a business run with consistent inputs and outputs which includes a sustainable profit.
- Comment on Am I cognitively performing less than I could've been if I hadn't drunk alcohol at that age? 5 weeks ago:
Impossible to tell. Your brain is how it is, rather than worry about what you cannot change, think about what you want to do and how to do it. If you are experiencing cognitive issues or emotional distress that you think might be a long term effect of your young drinking, talk to a therapist or your doctor about how to address those issues now.

About 10 years ago, some guy was posting photos of NFL refs calling penalties on logical fallacies.

Rafael Edward Cruz, you mean?
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, there’s definitely morons out there who never bothered to even read about the theory of good code design.
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 5 weeks ago:
Oddly enough, my grasp of coding is probably the same as the guy in the middle but I still know that LLM generated code is garbage.
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 5 weeks ago:
The most immediately understandable example I heard of this was from a senior developer who pointed out that LLM generated code will build a different code block every time it has to do the same thing. So if that function fails, you have to look at multiple incarnations of the same function, rather than saying “oh, let’s fix that function in the library we built.”

Yeah, Rick is a piece of shit but it’s well documented that he’s a piece of shit who will absolutely kill the fuck out of someone who rapes kids.
