- Comment on U.S. consumers are so fucked up, that they put more than $1 billion on buy-now, pay later services during Cyber Monday 5 days ago:
My 800+ credit score didn’t get me a better interest rate on my mortgage… that’s a game for corporations, multi-millionaires and above.
- Comment on U.S. consumers are so fucked up, that they put more than $1 billion on buy-now, pay later services during Cyber Monday 5 days ago:
this is the most frustrating part. This slow march to project 2025’s goals isn’t sophisticated. Any semblance of a general strike or boycott would have these cretins about-facing in no time. people are being sent to death camps, and we have this article.
I’ll always believe the interwebz are “bread and circus 3.0” (Radio was 1.0 and TV was 2.0). If the average dolt believes the reward for silence is “next up”, they’ll quietly cower in the face of blatant human rights violations.
- Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone 5 days ago:
Paywalling the API and therefore killing 3rd party apps killed reddit… banning anyone with an opinion killed reddit…
- Comment on Have LLMs killed all future programming languages? 1 week ago:
ITT: People not understanding how LLMs are trained. They tokenize words and phrases (give them serial numbers to index), study relationship and distance between tokens, and mimic the most common outcomes they’ve been trained on.
It’s not magic, it’s a parrot.
- Comment on Given how often memes are reposted: There should probably another vote option like a "Hey, I've seen this before!" vote button beside the upvote and downvote options. 1 week ago:
Let’s call it “Terminally Online”. You realize this post subject is a repost, right OP? SHAME!

- Comment on Why do some Americans "feel ashamed" for being American even when it's not their fault? 1 week ago:
My family settled here in 1630. I don’t feel shame about being american, I feel dread at the resurrgence of barbaric population control as opposed to compassionate capitalism and universal basic income for all. My entire childhood and participation in civics was a temporary era not the foundation of a beautiful future.
I look at my children and want to apologize to them for what they’ll endure after my demise. What a way to wake up…

- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 2 weeks ago:
took all of 5 minutes to convert plex-on-pi to jellyfin-on-pi. Probably harder to rename the host than install… fstab’s already set up and errything
- Comment on OpenAI needs to raise at least $207bn by 2030 so it can continue to lose money, HSBC estimates 2 weeks ago:
sooner than later, “agentic AI” will replace the “employee cost burden”. I presume they’ll charge per AI agent and produce revenue at scale.
everything you see in politics nowadays is a race against the clock to create infrastructure to “deal with” the unwashed, unemployed, hungry masses. UBI is not going to win out over soylent green.
Here’s the first admission I’ve found of what’s on the way: fortune.com/…/gen-z-college-grad-unemployment-cou…

AI is eating wikipedia’s lunch. what’s the worst that can happen centralizing knowledge with the broligarchy?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Made 200k in six weeks back pre-split using 2x leverage. Any other play is diminishing returns/opportunity cost. Dumbest thing I ever did.
- Comment on So now that it's that time of year again in the US, what are some tips and tricks for dealing with that one relative who goes on about the same bullshit for hours and won't shut the fuck up? 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on Windows 11 to add an AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders, warns of security risk 3 weeks ago:
Bold to assume your registry won’t restore last known ‘good’ config. Linux mint with quickemu is a great way to use Windows if you have to.

- Comment on FOX BREAKING NEWS ALERT! 3 weeks ago:
You really have to know some of these xenophobic, out of shape boomers to understand how gay oral sex will short circuit their brain. They know that people like me will bring up the ole gluck gluck 3000 at the mere mention of that douche’s name, so they’ll do what their meal team six cowardly self was going to do no matter what: quietly disavow now that it’ll blow back on them (pun totally intended)
- Comment on Anyone? 3 weeks ago:
Super helpful addition to the discussion. Throw a dart at a map and you’ll land within an inch of a despot or despot-wannabe. Most likely, we’re witnessing a fisher-price reaction to two things: imminent invasion of taiwan and AI gobbling up entry level work. You’re more arrogant than your previous comment suggests if you think what you’re witnessing doesn’t have much meaning to whatever economy and society you call home.
- Comment on Anyone? 3 weeks ago:
At surface, sure. But this is the kind of thing that can actually swing his base. I’m expecting flags and red hats to quietly get put away tbvh. This could be a very good thing for the world.

fun fact: blue powerade has BVO (brominated vegetable oil) in it… same with subway sandwich bread. It’s the same stuff they use to make carpets fire retardant. turns out it makes other things retardant, too.

Remember folks; the proper retort to any mention of trump going forward is “you mean the guy that sucked bill clinton’s dick?”
