- Comment on There aren't any ancient ruins with crazy traps and riddles 6 days ago:
Eh, the terracotta emporer from China almost definitely has booby traps that are likely still functional after 2,000.
We don’t know, because the absolutely insane amount of open mercury in the tomb would have filled it with toxic gases, although it’s likely that wasn’t the intent.
But yeah, most “ancient” tombs were pillaged centuries ago. What little happens now is entirely black market and people probably die all the time.
I know Kim Kardashian took a booty selfie with a sarcophagus at the MET Gala a couple years ago, and one of the illegal tomb raiders recognized it. And because he never got his cut, he snitched to local authorities
- Comment on Instead of everyone leaving NATO, could everyone else just kick the US out? 6 days ago:
Clémence Guetté, Vice President of France’s National Assembly, submitted a parliamentary resolution calling for France to withdraw from NATO’s integrated command structure, citing President Trump’s threats to seize Greenland from NATO ally Denmark as evidence the US-led alliance threatens world peace.
So one politician from France submitted a resolution in the French gverbment to do it.
And you…
You honestly and legitimately think that is the same thing as:
I saw France had proposed an initiative to withdraw because of the US’ shenanigans
Like, you didn’t just go and try to find a source but didn’t read it. You just don’t understand how what that says and what you said are vastly different things?
- Comment on Instead of everyone leaving NATO, could everyone else just kick the US out? 6 days ago:

Where?
France is leading NATO air and ground troops this year, and I didn’t see anything about France leaving NATO when I just checked.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
It’s the same person.
They make two types of accounts:
-
A man that got “sympathy pregnant” and their stomach won’t stop growing and it’s going to burst
-
Very petite (and barely of acceptable age) girl who somehow attacks much larger men’s bellies.
There’s nothing wrong with the fetish, it’s the nonconsensual aspect of repeatedly trying to trick people into participating instead of seeking out consensual roleplay spaces.
That’s the fucked up part.

- Comment on Unfortunately, at this point, ICE has legally "Erik Princed" a US city; over a traffic violation. And they're lying, gaslighting, and giving it cover. 1 week ago:
were just black and publicly carried guns for self-defense.
Uhh…
en.wikipedia.org/…/MOVE_(Philadelphia_organizatio…
They were pretty much a cult and their leader who made their rules was illeterate…
The bombing was a huge overstep, but this was closer to WACO than what you’re making it out to be.
Except WACO had the legal right to be there, and you’re also pretending a giant shootout with the cops didn’t happen a few years earlier.
This shit is important, now more than ever. We need to understand what really happened so we learn from it. Not spread romanticized and simplified folk tales.

Well, that explains the post I saw earlier about how they turned off image generation…
Every sane co.pany needs to ban it for more reasons than just this.

- Comment on Musk’s Grok AI Generated Thousands of Undressed Images Per Hour on X 1 week ago:
It all starts with a little bill call the Telecommunications act of 1996…
And yeah, loads of people said it would lead to this shit.
But Silicon valley gave a shit ton of money to the Clinton’s for the Internet part, and telecoms for the part doing away with monopoly regulations.
- Comment on xkcd #3191: Superstition 1 week ago:
It’s because we’re just pattern recognition machines and a false positive is better than a false negative.
So if an act might result in a positive or avoid a negative, it’s safer to just do it anyways. Giving people who get neurotic about it enough of an evolutionary advantage that it’s still relatively normal human variation.
Maybe the environment changes to where that OCD behavior is really advantageous, then the rabbit rabbits will inherit the earth.
- Comment on Musk’s Grok AI Generated Thousands of Undressed Images Per Hour on X 1 week ago:
The solution is simple: Everyone everywhere needs to classify Xitter as a porn site
I think a large part of it’s popularity has become the porn, because it passes all those filters. Especially since Musk backed conservatives are blocking porn in red states, but as far as I know, never twitter.
Treat it like a porn site and lots of Republicans need to give up their ID to show they’re old enough. They can’t come around it because social media hates VPN
- Comment on Musk’s Grok AI Generated Thousands of Undressed Images Per Hour on X 1 week ago:
But that doesn’t leave many options for the victims. Maddie, who said she’s a 23-year-old pre-med student, woke up on New Year’s Day to an image that horrified her. On X, she had previously published a picture of herself with her boyfriend at a local bar, which two strangers altered using Grok.
I’ve thought a lot of things would kill twitter…
But if every time a woman posts a picture of herself, and neckbeards reply asking twitter AI to sexualize her, and the AI responds right there with it where everyone following the original account can see…
I truly don’t understand how or why any women are still using it.
- Comment on Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck 1 week ago:
Still, on the long list of shit we need to fix with America, fixing the patent system is a big one.
Large corps buy them like lotto tickets and try to patent anything and everything they can.
Look how long WB has sat on the Nemisis system because they got a patent a decade ago on it. It wasn’t really a unique idea, but thousands of games have been prevented from doing anything similar.

How could you think this would be a better way to find out than just asking her what she meant?
Also, weird as fuck to be throwing yourself in drama like that, but as least your friend will find out your super messy if they haven’t. If they already knew, this is what they signed up for anyways
- Comment on How do i stop the android system from using all my free space? 1 week ago:
Now tell me how to stop it.
I already did, you just didn’t understand and got upset, why would you think I’d try again?
You do realize you’re asking people for help, not calling into T-Mobile customer support, right?
- Comment on How do i stop the android system from using all my free space? 1 week ago:
Most likely you don’t have enough space on your phone…
Delete all your cache, then turn the size for it down as low as possible.
But you’ll most likely still need to delete something else to give the operating system some breathing room.
You can’t just get your phone to slightly below limit and then use it. Everything on there is going to cache data. You need to leave some headroom, so delete some apps or media after you lower the caches.
- Comment on as a young person, what must one look for when it comes to finding a new country to live in? 1 week ago:
I mean, there’s a shit ton of variables…
You need to look specifically for people going from your current country, and the destination will change a lot of things.
Sometimes it’s very easy, other impossibly difficult.
- Comment on Turing speculated that acting human would be the best indication of humanlike thought, but a better indication would be the inability to act otherwise. 1 week ago:
You’ve edited this comment at least 3 times since I’ve replied, each time with more random shit that doesn’t make any sense. You just keep thumbing thru a thesaurus and replacing words with bigger words you clearly don’t understad.
This is probably why your posts/comments don’t make sense. Stop trying to sound intelligent and focus on communicating your point. But I don’t have the patience to ever try and explain anything to you again.
Best of luck.

Literally the opposite of a turning test… Which it’s pretty clear you don’t understand those to begin with…
And has nothing to do with your post
Why are people upvoting that gibberish? Do they just don’t understand it and are blindly up voting?
- Comment on Turing speculated that acting human would be the best indication of humanlike thought, but a better indication would be the inability to act otherwise. 1 week ago:
That doesn’t make any logical sense because even very young children are adept at pretending not to be human…
Like, I know what you’re trying to say, I’m just struggling to understand how you think it’s sensical
- Comment on Can other countries impose sanctions on the US? 1 week ago:
I’ll admit that I don’t really know how that works, or how it’s enforced, or whatever
They almost always mean “economic sanctions”.
Cutting them off from “western banking”…
Essentially not letting them buy/sell any stocks in the western market.
Which unfortunately is headquartered in NYC, explaining why it’s the NY Stock Exchange.
There are others, Europe has 5 worth over a trillion each and some others, Asia has the NICA index.
But trump personally would be very hard to sanction in other markets, because he’s so shady banking institutions usually won’t deal with him. It’s why he pivoted to crypto.
He does have some money in NYSE, but that’s overseen by the SEC, and trump won’t sanction himself
- Comment on If you have an exceptional intelligence... You live in IDIOCRACY right now 1 week ago:
Always have…
If you’re over 145 (where a normal test stops), it’s only like 1 in 750, but it means you’re over 30 points above around 80% of the population.
30 points is the line where communication is noticably difficult.
Being smart is like being tall. A little over average is great, but once you’re statistically insignificant you’re still jammed in the same hole as everyone else even tho you clearly don’t fit.
Like, that was the whole point of the movie. It wasn’t a warning about the future it’s how an intelligent person has always viewed the world.
The drug abuse correlation with high IQ isn’t just “novelty seeking”, it’s actively and intentionally getting on everyone else’s level, at least for a little bit.
- Comment on How does Chuck Schumer still have a job? 1 week ago:
His leadership position was voted on before the DNC chair.
So his threats to cut off funding to the state of any Dems that wouldn’t back him still had some teeth.
It doesn’t now, mainly because the DNC immediately jumped into the largest twin esture into state parties, ever.
He’s been a lame duck all but maybe a month of this senate leadership term, and will almost certainly lose it next year.
If he doesn’t, it’s a bad sign.

There’s no American troops there now.
If you’re arguing there’s going to be a response or separate action in the future, yes…
That’s how time works, there’s always something happen, obviously something will happen next

When you get the time it’s worth reading up on, super interesting and I’m surprised there hasn’t been a big movie about it despite America being the bad guys.

That was an invasion, not a kidnapping.
The first hint is the situation was called “invasion of Panama”
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 2 weeks ago:
Nah, Hawaii was an invasion, I believe the Queen was travelling to DC.
She left Hawaii as a queen and when she got to Hawaii to negotiate a treaty, she was told Hawaii was already an American territory
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 2 weeks ago:
Approximately 24,000 troops descended upon Panama in December 1989, beginning a weekslong siege of the country that scattered the government and military officials.
That’s an invasion, not a kidnapping…
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 2 weeks ago:
No, this is different and completely unprecedented.
We went into a foreign country, abducted their leader, and brought him back to America to be tried under our justice system for laws he was never subject to for crimes he almost had nothing to do with.
I’d love to see a source for America abducting the leader of a country we’re not at war with, and bringing them to America for trial.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 2 weeks ago:
It might have already happened…
Capturing a foreign leader you’re not at war with like this is a huge fucking deal, but it hasn’t even been 24 hrs yet, we can’t act like there won’t be a response.
Not anything overt, but our election system is sloppy as fuck.
Why wouldn’t foreign governments start using all the loopholes to pay (relatively) nothing to limit his powers in midterms and get rid of him in the presidential? A couple million thru a PAC isn’t even really breaking any laws, and compared to the cost of the chaos from trump, it’s a no brainer decision.
It’s why turnout for primaries is so important. We have to ensure that the people who make it to the general are going to be good in office.
