They volunteered for that shit, I didn’t ask them to do it
the background is furries.
That first part is still correct
- Comment on Great Advertise 1 week ago:
nobody should be shipped to an El Salvador Gulag for any reason
With this I agree.
I don’t see it implied to be ok, this contradiction of something that is not normal being part of an ‘advertisement’ was what I found funny
- Comment on Great Advertise 1 week ago:
Wait, so now you did find it, but refuse to share it…?
I think they meant that this happened yesterday. But posting a link would have been way faster than typing two messages about how they don’t want to do it, I think
- Comment on Great Advertise 1 week ago:
I thought it was part of the joke
- Comment on Great Advertise 1 week ago:
I think, ChatGPT usually produces those. Very recognisable, and remind me of one comic artist that also makes characters with eerie smiles, simplified style, but also very dark humour and traumas. Can’t remember their name, though.

It may as well still get a bigger shit

Thank you for the deciphering, I was completely lost at potat ‘n’ tomat
- Comment on Steam gets a brand new video player for trailers 1 week ago:
No, it’s just anything can be considered a sign that hl3 is 80% finished
Also, it may as well be, and then stay 80% finished for the rest of the century
- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 1 week ago:
Higher in this thread they said the author does provide a flatpak, so this didn’t seem to work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Comment on It's just loss. 4 weeks ago:
We’re below reproduction rate in most parts of the world, and likely will fall below in the rest of the world during this century, so we’re already in the ‘find out’ era :(
- Comment on AND THEY DIDN'T STOP EATING 8 months ago:
This is actually a confirmed meme though.
Except for a couple of details from the link you posted: there were only two worms, and they are likely of the same age (don’t think this can be determined more specifically than ‘around 40 thousand years’), and the picture is absolutely wrong.
- Comment on punchable babies 8 months ago:
because words are spelt as phonetically
And consistently /s

I thought the joke was that monologue should not include a second actor. But maybe it was about spelling ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So, GorrillaX?
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 8 months ago:
Chernobyl
But that was a really old tech, the plants built after 1990s shouldn’t allow this scale of pollution even if all the stops are pulled and everything breaks in the worst way possible
- Comment on Crunchyroll just Committed a Federal Crime. 9 months ago:
- What could’ve fit in a screen of text should not be a video at all
- I save videos for later all the time, I just watch them never
- If some information is not visual-first, and not entertainment, if it may be important to people and should be spread, it also better not be a video. Maybe accompanied by a video to make use of audience reach, if you already have a channel with an audience, that is.
- Comment on I hate that that happens 9 months ago:
Maybe better use second most popular: Spanish, it at least uses same letters (differently though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
- Comment on Feds Say You Don’t Have a Right to Check Out Retro Video Games Like Library Books 9 months ago:
The IP owner can print more, but if the owner is gone or legally unclear, then yes. Although I don’t think this was the real intention, because greed looks like a simpler reason and fits
- Comment on [deleted] 9 months ago:
You’re right that there is a lot of good content, too. The problem is that a platform doesn’t care as long as you stay and watch, also you’ll need quite a lot of effort to find your own good content. So when I come to YouTube for something and end up watching more, I always know that I failed to YouTube trying to rip me off

If only I could get addicted to something socially acceptable in under 35 minutes, like doing chores, or at least maths
- Comment on Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands 9 months ago:
Maybe you’re right and it could work. I’m afraid there’s always a share of sociopaths this will not affect, but this may be seen as impossible to fix anyway. What I am also afraid of is that the speed of changes is glacial in this model, and sometimes people are bullied into suicide in the course of mere weeks
- Comment on Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands 9 months ago:
Yeah, trusting someone to make right decisions is hard because this trust usually ends up being betrayed sooner or later.
Regarding the first part, I meant that we as a community can’t put enough pressure on a bully to make em leave, if that bully is part of the community that supports em.
- Comment on Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands 9 months ago:
And what would happen when the community itself is built on hatred and welcomes hate wholeheartedly?
- Comment on Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands 9 months ago:
Except for the countries that have anti-hate laws that are deliberately vague and specifically used to jail anyone who is disliked by the government. China and Russia come to mind as examples, but I’m sure they aren’t the only ones.
Besides hate-speech, I’m not sure how much should be censored really. China does a lot of censoring to ‘protect’ their citizens from everything, I’m not sure this would be a good thing even if that really was a goal.
And protecting children from traumatising content looks like another good thing to do, but under that banner I usually see governments doing whatever they want without caring about children past using their image.
- Comment on Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands 9 months ago:
With that I agree

What’s the joke about? Does Ireland block everything that comes from the Netherlands?
- Comment on Honey 9 months ago:
However you define it, a central nervous system or other type of similar central unit would have to be a requirement, because that is what would actually be sentient
Without CNS there would be something else sophisticated enough to show sentience that would have been sentient. So to me it looks like this is not really a requirement, albeit it’s simpler to say that it is.
As a side note, I think that given how human-centric humans are (which is to be expected, really) even if we were living with another sentient species on the same planet we would argue they are not sentient for whatever reason we could come up with, and change sentience definition accordingly
- Comment on Honey 9 months ago:
lectured on semantics rather than responding to the meaning
this is ironic
- Comment on Honey 9 months ago:
not even all vegans who don’t use honey agree on whether or not a vegan can use honey
Exactly this, veganism is ethical choice, and ethics is not science. You can’t ‘prove’ that something is acceptable, nor vice versa. There are guidelines and discussions but that’s pretty much it.
So this is really not about whether bees are animals or not.

But you can ignore the response if you decide to not deal with it
