- Comment on would a underwater pool be filled with air or more water 1 day ago:
If it’s isolated from a current it would be filled with denser saltwater with a higher salt concentration until it eventually fills in with sediment
- Comment on Israeli Spy Stayed for Weeks at a Time at Jeffrey Epstein's Mansion 3 days ago:
Maxwell’s dad had 3 different Israeli PMs at his funeral…
Epstein almost certainly inherited his spy network, and that’s why he became instantly untouchable and popular among the most powerful people.
It’s not just something that lasted decades, this has lasted generations.
- Comment on Why do Republicans hate the poor so much? 3 days ago:
With no mention of the roads they drive on every day.
They want toll roads too…
When you have a shit ton of money, you want everything taxed on use, not earnings.
Because you earn a lot and spend a very small percentage of that.
They view any individual that “gets” more than they personally pay in as a “taker”. Despite the entire reasons we have safety nets is statistically someone will need help.
But once no one anywhere benefits from it more than they paid in, it’s easy for the wealthy to convince us we don’t need it at all. Because it’s not benefiting anyone and has really becomes a waste.
It’s very basic manipulation.
You can’t argue “what about roads!” Because they’re argue for toll roads everywhere or a tax on actual miles driven. Don’t let them set the argument, point out how no one knows who will need it till they need it, so we all pay in and hope we’re fortunate enough to not need it. But if we do, we don’t have to die in a gutter.
Don’t tug on heart strings, explain it as risk management and they might start to see the value
- Comment on Man dances for 144 hours to break video game marathon record 4 days ago:
Guiness stopped doing “stay awake” records I think, and for good reason.
Staying awake more than three days is like how LSD is described in DARE and media. You start having “microsleeps” that last for a fraction of a second in the real world, but hit you with a 5-10 minute long dream.
That’s why meth heads are so crazy.
It’s not the meth directly, it’s staying awake for days on it
Like, when a meth head is in public relatively normal and then starts screaming and acting like someone just did something they clearly didn’t?
It’s because they just had a micro sleep dream and can’t differentiate that from reality.
Playing DDR for 144 hours had to be nuts mentally
- Comment on Bread tags on long list of plastic items to be phased out in NSW 5 days ago:
Yep.
We jumped all in on plastic, because a lot of plastic is just waste from oil that couldn’t be made into gas or anything else.
It’s why plastic became synomous with cheap shit. It was basically free materials. Even compared to thin wire and a little strip of paper.
We’re destroying the planet so corps can save $0.000001 per unit.
- Comment on Bread tags on long list of plastic items to be phased out in NSW 5 days ago:
That’s good you all already have an alternative.
- Comment on Bread tags on long list of plastic items to be phased out in NSW 5 days ago:
I’d rather see them made out of hemp or wheat instead of just not having them anymore.
Most of what is made out of plastic we can just make out of other materials.
It’s just hurts fossil fuel corporations profits.
- Comment on When Xfinity has an outage, I don’t pay for those days. The government’s been shut down for 39 days so can I pay 39 days less in taxes? 6 days ago:
Oh, it sounds like it?
Did you think of checking yourself before just fucking guessing someone was wrong and making a comment?
Like, imagine hearing someone say something on the Internet, and not being sure if they’re right…
So you just fucking guess in a comment and wait four fucking hours to see if the original person will reply back.
Instead of you taking the two seconds to check before making that comment.
What the fuck is wrong with people?
Just willfully and proudly ignorant.
- Comment on When Xfinity has an outage, I don’t pay for those days. The government’s been shut down for 39 days so can I pay 39 days less in taxes? 6 days ago:
No…
That’s why I said what I said…
Thanks for taking the time to make a reply telling everyone your guess instead of, i dunno…
You taking two second to check yourself?
- Comment on When Xfinity has an outage, I don’t pay for those days. The government’s been shut down for 39 days so can I pay 39 days less in taxes? 6 days ago:
As long as you’ve been paying your taxes, you can set fed withholdings to $0 until the shutdown is over.
You’ll still owe income tax, but this stops giving them an interest free loan trump will just blow thru.
Ideally I’d like to see blue states coordinate it for their citizens, just so it’s all sitting in a big find that the state can use as a carrot to reopen the fed.
- Comment on when are the upcoming political elections held in america? 1 week ago:
Federal office elections are on even years.
States/cities do whatever
- Comment on Whatever happened to pickup artists? Did they evolve into alpha males or ascend to a higher plane? 1 week ago:
It’s not hard, just gotta give it a lil chin wiggle
- Comment on Whatever happened to pickup artists? Did they evolve into alpha males or ascend to a higher plane? 1 week ago:
Teach a man to attract women, and he’s not going to keep watching you’re shitty videos…
So you give bad advice, knowing that it won’t work, hoping the stupidest still come back for more advice, then pivot to “you’re great bro, it’s everyone else’s fault they don’t see it”.
And then you have a Stan that will watch all your videos, because everyone else calls them an idiot except the other people following that shit.
Like…
You say “conspiracy” like it’s some convulated crazy plan…
It’s grifting 101…
- Comment on Whatever happened to pickup artists? Did they evolve into alpha males or ascend to a higher plane? 1 week ago:
It was a two step plan:
-
Give young boy the worst possible advice
-
Blame women for not liking it.
That how we got all these incels.

- Comment on xAI used employee biometric data to train Elon Musk’s AI girlfriend 1 week ago:
Employees that were assigned as AI tutors were instructed to sign release forms granting xAI “a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, sub-licensable, royalty-free license” to use, reproduce, and distribute their faces and voices, as part of a confidential program code-named “Project Skippy.” The data would be used to train Ani, as well as Grok’s other AI companions.
According to the Journal, some employees balked at the demand, concerned that their faces or likeness could be sold to other companies or used in deepfake videos. The employees were put off by the chatbot’s sexual demeanor and its likeness to a waifu. But they were told that the collection of their data was “a job requirement to advance xAI’s mission.”
Don’t forget Musk has had people dress up and pretend to be AI powered robots to boost hist stock…
And Bezos tried an “no employee grocery run by AI” that was really a bunch of Indians watching cameras…
This shit ain’t ready, but we’re burning the planet down for it so no billionaires misses if any ever figure out how profit off it
Capitalism is no way to run a society, at any scale.

Pick a random community on there and look at their modlog…
- Comment on Scientists Need a Positive Vision for AI 1 week ago:
The problem is instead of finding better ways to stop it (regulations) you’re looking for “productive” ways to use it…
Apparently because you’ve pre-emptively given up.
But if you succeed it would lead to more AI and more damage to our planet.
I fully understand you believe you have good intentions, I’m just struggling to find a way to explain to you that intentions don’t matter. And I don’t think I’m going to come up with a way you’ll beavle to understand.
It’s like if someone was stuck in a hole in the ground, and instead of wanting to climb out, you yank everyone else back into the hole when they try and keep trying to get them to help you redecorate the hole.
I truly hope someone can present that in a way that gets through to you, because you are doing real damage.
- Comment on Scientists Need a Positive Vision for AI 1 week ago:
Sure, we sunk billions into this thing destroying our planet and we don’t know how to profit off, but that no reason to stop or even slow down
- Comment on Scientists Need a Positive Vision for AI 1 week ago:
You know what else would make life better for people?
Accessible healthcare…
You know why that’s better than AI? We don’t need to burn the planet down to use it after spending billions to get it going
- Comment on Bewildered enthusiasts decry memory price increases of 100% or more — the AI RAM squeeze is finally starting to hit PC builders where it hurts 1 week ago:
They don’t real fluctuate, it’s more oscillating.
Sometimes it’s “normal” but due to a wide range of issues that can change quickly and stay that way for months because everyone waits till prices go down. So as they go down, people stop waiting,
- Comment on Bewildered enthusiasts decry memory price increases of 100% or more — the AI RAM squeeze is finally starting to hit PC builders where it hurts 1 week ago:
What?
You think this is the first ram crunch?
It’s not even the first one in this decade…
- Comment on A sock is just a foot bag. 1 week ago:
That’s still a pretty advanced sock…
For a disturbingly long time “socks” were just two long strips of cloth. While “foot bags” existed for a long time, they were just for the wealthy until less than a century ago in some places.
- Comment on Humans BY DEFAULT do not want to commit violence towards other humans, otherwise things like Killer's Remorse and PTSD would not exist. 1 week ago:
invalidates the fact that toddlers will instinctively walk up to other toddlers to play regardless of their race.
That happens because in-group selection is forming as toddlers…
Like, this highlights my general point. You’re just making a bunch of assumptions based on feelings instead of spending five minutes looking into all the actual scientific research.
The connection is that just like they need exposure to language, they need someone to socialize them and develop an aversion to violence. Done properly everytime a child uses violence they are told “no” and have some means of punishment. Which teaches them not to be violent.
Without that, you get an adult who readily uses violence.
You’re seeing the results of literal decades of socialization and ate deciding it’s not necessary because everyone’s socialized.
So why not just stop socializing them?
I hope that made sense, or at least someone else will help you.
- Comment on Humans BY DEFAULT do not want to commit violence towards other humans, otherwise things like Killer's Remorse and PTSD would not exist. 1 week ago:
Bullshit.
This is like thinking babies will instinctively grow up speaking their parents language…
And unfortunately we actually did experts, and no, babies can not spontaneously learn language.
Modern humans get fucked mentally from killing, because most modern humans never kill anything their whole lives, at least not intentionally.
Like, you’re literally as far off from the truth as possible…
The same logic that stripped public education down to STEM in resulted in a generation without empathy or critical thinking skills. That shit doesn’t just magically appear, it needs drilled into impressionable you g minds.
And I know this seems harsh, but this specific aspect of ignorance has fucked over a shit ton of people’s lives.
- Comment on Soulja Boy is selling video game consoles again, and he's already being accused of ripping off an existing handheld: "He does not have permission to rebrand our products and sell them as his own" 1 week ago:
He’s not even rebranding them…
He just charges more than orders one and passes on the shipping info.
Like, he could have at least bought some up front and threw a sticker on there
- Comment on EA insists it will "maintain creative control" and "creative freedom" if sale to consortium goes ahead 1 week ago:
Lol…
I don’t think this is as reassuring as EA thinks it would be…
It’s like if Comcast got bought by United Healthcare, but assured us their customer service would stay at the same level.
- Comment on 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower 1 week ago:
Ultimately the problem with LLM accusations is that short of a confession or doing some hardcore surveillance of the other person you can’t prove it
Human variation.
Ironically you would have to take the others person word on it, luckily you just said you were comfortable doing so.
Some people are statistically insignificant, and to them lots of stuff is incredibly obvious and they’re constantly frustrated others can’t see it. They might even sink sizeable free time into explaining random shit, just to practice not losing their temper when people can’t see the obvious.
So you might not be able to tell that was AI from a glance, but humans are pattern recognition machines and we’re not all equally good at it.
So believe a “llm accusation” or not, but some people absolutely can pick out a chatbot response, especially when taking the two seconds to glance at typical comments from a user profile.
Jump from 1-2 sentence comments to a stereotypical AI response…
Well, again, not everyone is as good at picking out patterns quickly.
To some what took me literally under 10 seconds and two clicks counts as “hardcore surveillance” because it would take them a long time to figure it out.
Don’t assume everyone else is exactly like you.
- Comment on 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower 1 week ago:
but even if it is, that’s still a fairly off-putting way to respond.
No you’re right…
It’s not like it’s literally burning our planet down and the people profiting off it aren’t tech bro fascists…
- Comment on 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower 1 week ago:
Stop burning the planet down to generate social media comments
I mean, I thought it would be obvious my issue was with using AI to do so…
Even if it had been a serious question.
But, to be fair I was thinking of what a normal.person would be able to parse, and not people who’s critical thinking had already atrophied from offloading to AI.
They probably don’t have any idea what I meant and would need it explicitly spelled out.
- Comment on 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower 1 week ago:
I took it more as a dig at Americans honestly…
The second line is KW hours compared to HP.
And the English still use pounds for weight and stuff pretty regularly.
So pounds and KW hours for them.
Small dogs and HP for Americans.
