- Comment on Epstein details scrubbed from Mandelson’s Wikipedia page by shady paid editor— As the then-ambassador came under fire, an anonymous user tried to downplay his history of support for Jeffrey Epstein 4 days ago:
I wonder what that person’s answer was when as a kid they got asked what they want to be when they grow up. Fireman? Astronaut? Pedophile PR? Well congratulations.

It’s horrible. We already had that stuff figured out. Wiki pages and forums to make information accessible even after 20 minutes have passed. Fuck that development and everyone that was/is pushing for that.

Same. My 360 controller must be 20 years old now. It yearns for a peaceful life in the dusty old tech box in the basement but I can’t let it go yet.

Guys should I supplement my chimpanzee kibble with sheep electrolytes for maximum beast gains?
- Comment on If cannibalism were the norm and human meat was freely available in grocery stores, there would surely be people who prefered to eat only the meat of people of their own ethnicity or only women's meat 2 weeks ago:
I like how you defend it multiple times. Guys this fictional dystopian story about human children raised like cattle to be harvested isn’t as bad as our reality where they’re sex trafficked to billionaires, I swear. Just some lighthearted horror sitcom. Look they put up a big seasoning box so the kids can play with that instead of sand. Ha, they keep sneezing. How cute.

Hello there, human meat butcher, fetch me a flank of a former league of legends player that died after a diet of nothing but energy drinks and chicken tendies. Nono, this one isn’t pale enough. I want only your finest. Bring me muscles that have never been used.

I think they roll dice to figure that out. In general they’re essentially playing a D&D campaign.

- Comment on London PR firm rewrites Wikipedia for governments and billionaires 3 weeks ago:
Let’s not forget, it took years for Wikipedia to even notice Neelix, the Wikipedia admin who made over 80,000 pages/links about titties.
He was just out there spreading the word of boobah but yeah this stuff can go under the radar for a while.
- Comment on London PR firm rewrites Wikipedia for governments and billionaires 3 weeks ago:
The problem lies in noticing them in the first place. If you make a thousand legit edits to various articles and then make some slight changes on some rich clients page chances are nobody will register this. Then again we’re on the internet so there’s always at least one guy who’d hyperfocus on monitoring something like this. The hero we need.

Ah it’s a <make up weird quotes that don’t reflect the general feedback and then react to that> episode. I too remember people in the street shouting “you never should’ve tried something new BioWare!” after making that memory up.
In truth the biggest criticism they got was when they released it unfinished, promised a bunch of content and then let it die because they smashed the numbers into a calculator and came to the conclusion it’ll not be worth it. No fucking shit. Fixing the mess you sold people for full price won’t make you a lot of profit, it’s something you do to make up for delivering unfinished crap in the first place.
Imagine a plumber who does pipe work in your house and when you call them because they did a shoddy job and it’s leaking they say “Nah, wouldn’t be worth it to fix this. I’ll rather go do a different project for more money.”
Fuck right off.

You’re not wrong but it still feels bad.
- Comment on It's easy 4 weeks ago:
While this is most likely rage bait this isn’t far from human self perception.
There were multiple studies on this with similar setups. Eg they’d have students play monopoly and give one of them significantly more cash to start with. Not secretly either. One would think this student would understand that this is an insane advantage but the study found that most of the participants believed that they won by playing well.
So even with the most obvious advantage humans will think that it was their own merit that lead to their success.

- Comment on Micron addresses Crucial exit backlash: 'We are trying to help consumers around the world' — company warns that DRAM drought could last until at least 2028 4 weeks ago:
10 years is not a long time and once the cat is out of the bag it’s rather difficult to get it back in.
It was the same for other manufacturing. You can’t manufacture most commercial items at a competitive price not just because the difference in labor cost but because there’s simply nobody left that is capable of doing it at scale in the US or Europe.

We’re just trying to help those nerds spend less time on their PC, you see? Yes, we produce memory but at our core we’re a grass touching company.

- Comment on Dell says the quiet part out loud: Consumers don't actually care about AI PCs — "AI probably confuses them more than it helps them" 5 weeks ago:
Forget about the personality for a minute. They have a different thing in common. Uselessness. I tried AI for a bunch of general use cases and it almost always fails to satisfy. Either it just can’t do the task in the first place or it makes mistakes that then cost too much time to fix.
There are exceptions and specialized models will have their use but it’s not the Swiss army knife tool AI companies are promising.

- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 1 month ago:
This generation of software companies really seem to have abandoned all previous goals for “Let’s see how shit we can make this!”
“Sir, if we can finish our robot it could help with any household chores and even take over most of the care work for the elderly. Then in future patches we could make it waterboard the user unless they get the waterboardless premium subscription. Then we’ll increase the cost and slowly reintroduce waterboarding even for subscribers.”
- Comment on Why does American media (and to an extent the American public) seem to only focus on one issue at a time? 2 months ago:
It’s the 24h news cycle. Most news sources are battling for your attention/clicks every day and if they keep digging into a story that people already know, they’ll get less clicks. It has to be new or it just gets scrolled past. This isn’t unique to america. It’s everywhere. Even here on lemmy.
Steve Bannon has recognized this and weaponized it for Trump with his ‘flood the zone’ approach. Keep blasting new headlines and nothing will really stick.
