• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Education. You will never be able to explain taxes in a way that can counter propaganda if the person is an idiot. You just won’t. And until then it’s an uphill battle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For All That Is Good About Humankind, Ban Smartphones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is Jacobin just garbage or am I just seeing only garbage articles?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Florida sheriff warns protesters ahead of nationwide rallies: ‘We will kill you dead’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The first sentence specifically said they didn’t. The title was cherry picked to be inflammatory and the truth was plenty inflammatory enough. That’s all i got out of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK - That there is a lot of trolling and brigading starting to happen around the LA peaceful protests to start violence. Here is a roadmap from 2015 on how they do it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s kind of our thing.

  As long as i can chargeback on my credit card I have no problems preordering (couple months out at most though, lol at people doing long term pre orders) I have no problem. Digital goods can fuck right on off. So many slimy tactics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Outer Worlds 2 - Official Story Trailer | Xbox Games Showcase 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I liked the first one but it was free with the 99 cent game pass. It was very short imo and I would have been pissed off I’d paid full price.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duolingo CEO on going AI-first: ‘I did not expect the blowback’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you misunderstood my meaning. They know. They’ve known all along. They simply think that saying they don’t know and throwing everyone below them under the bus is fine because it’s accepted in the business culture here. The CEO is always right because even when they aren’t, bonus still gets deposited.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duolingo CEO on going AI-first: ‘I did not expect the blowback’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you have ever been to any major SLT or higher meeting, the phrases “This is the first time I am hearing about that” or “That’s not what was reported to me” come up so much that I’m amazed the meetings even finish on time. Plausible deniability of the name of the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All this AI nonsense is an attempt to capitalize on the mere act of human thinking⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand completely but your argument is more medium based than ownership based, that was my only real point.

  Here’s a fun question: Do you own the music you buy on a CD? Or is the CD just the license to listen to music that belongs legally to someone else?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How To Swap Couplings?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t tell but try looking up tutorials for removing molex pins.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The U.S. Plan to Hobble China Tech Isn’t Working⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Article says the US has tried everything. The entire premise of the article feels flawed as fuck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ghost 6.0 releases next month with ActivityPub support⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had looked into it for my running club because it had built in mailing lists through subscribers and such but it def feels like a CMS geared toward a commercial entity. I’m sure it’s great as just a blog setup but it just wasn’t what i was looking for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brazing Copper Plumbing Pipe?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never ever had an issue sweating copper unless it was really old mating to new. I’ve done plumbing and hvac lines for decades. Brazing seems like more cost and hassle to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and why is she in my toothpaste? 😡🤬😡⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  SLS is not fun to breathe. Just fyi

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazing.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to collect cans over the summer with the high school soccer teams to raise money. There’s more than fitty there

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is going ‘all in’ on AI. It’s part of a troubling trend in big tech⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Millions of businesses are so innovative they are choosing the same basket to put all their eggs in.

  Capitalism sure is fun. Simply side economics plus massive deregulation is sure to provide humanity with it’s salvation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex now will SELL your personal data⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve yet to see a single email about any of the shit on here about Plex. I’m not defending any of these choices, just more confused as to who this applies to, where and when.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WTF is a rural town in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I pay village taxes and town & county taxes. 😟

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VCs are starting to partner with private equity to buy up call centers, accounting firms and other "mature companies" to replace their operations with AI⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Shareholder value? Capital gains? Golden parachute? These are all great things if you belong to the owner class.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BlackRock is Suing UnitedHealth for Giving “Too Much Care” to Patients After the CEO was Murdered⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s very difficult to use logic and try to reason with hatred. Majority of people genuinely want to settle disputes peacefully but it’s getting harder and harder to deny that’s simply not going to work against a minority of loud, angry and ignorant people cheering on a demagogue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. inks bill to force geo-tracking tech for high-end gaming and AI GPUs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope.

  Hold up a salt and pepper shaker in each hand. Now stick out your tongue and sprinkle some of each on your tongue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. inks bill to force geo-tracking tech for high-end gaming and AI GPUs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You have been dead wrong with every reply. Why are you still trying?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. inks bill to force geo-tracking tech for high-end gaming and AI GPUs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no real push for that to happen. This is about crashing an economy, stealing wealth and creating a a massive almost slave labor class at the bottom.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What teachers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avowed Director Leaves Obsidian For Netflix Games⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s like watching human centipede: executive decision. They just keep eating each other’s shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kneecap member charged with terror offence⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How you or i feel is a terrible basis for law. Just look at the US right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kneecap member charged with terror offence⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Allegedly displaying a flag.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Purrrrsonality disorder⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We have a rescue kitty who is very very special. She needs to be left alone 50% of the time or just massively overstimulated in order to eventually relax the other 50% of the time. It’s really fun figuring out which time is which.
