Pornography is competitive prostitution like movies are competitive plays.

They’re clearly mutant bears, as they possess the intellect to have a home with cooking apparati, beds, and speech.
- Comment on YSK: A real American Civil war will NOT be like Battlefield or COD. 16 hours ago:
Which is why a civil war won’t happen, it’ll crash the economy globally and the 1% can’t have that, so all of this is moot.
I feel like Donald would mysteriously hang himself and Vance would be full appeasement mode real fast.
That said, we also thought Russia wouldn’t invade Ukraine after the 2014 (iirc) treaty and well…
- Comment on who's gonna tell him? 2 days ago:
Tony Stark is 100% the genius Elon wishes he was. He entered MIT at about 14, and graduated with multiple degrees at 17. While he didn’t invent the arc reactor, he both miniaturized (As part of his origin story, when he created the first suit in a cave with a box of scraps.) and perfected it. If we go by MCU, he wasn’t in charge of Stark Industries for a large chunk of the weapon development days, and after his kidnapping and Iron Man origin story, he had his company stop developing weapons, so now they’re a tech conglomerate that does generic tech conglomerate things I guess.
He’s also not real, so huge grain of salt.

Apparently I didn’t make it clear before so: If you are defending AI slop I do not respect you as a person, nor do I place any value on your opinion.

oh no people who like the plagiarism and child porn machine won’t like me. I’m sure it’ll tell them to be very upset about this.

Racknerd have explained to me that cancellation of the VPS and a refund are separate processes, and a full refund will be issued.
Figured as much. No shot a chargeback would end well for them in that situation.
- Comment on Trump, 79, Rants Incoherently About Robots and AI 3 weeks ago:
Again, R’s aren’t scared of Vance, they absolutely believe Trump can throw down a “Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?” on Truth social. That translates to shit getting pushed back on a lot more for Vance.

- Comment on Trump, 79, Rants Incoherently About Robots and AI 3 weeks ago:
Cult leaders need charisma and couchfucker ain’t got it. He might end out pres in that hypothetical but he wouldn’t have the implied maga threat behind him Trump does so I think he’d get a lot less of the agenda pushed.

- Comment on Are skin readings a thing when it comes to psychics? 5 weeks ago:
Theres all manner of goofy psychic bullshittery out there from palms to tea leaves to runes and tarot cards. I haven’t heard of titty readings or indeed any psychic stuff involving the rest of the body apart from the hands.
I could see someone claiming some shit for blood maybe, and personality stuff regarding skull shape and blood type are both psuedosciences that exist, the latter being popular in Japan, the former with 1800s racists.

- Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone 1 month ago:
On one hand yeah in that timeframe, on the other hand it’s not like his homies weren’t there. Further, subreddits came to exist in 2006, and people could make their own in 2008, so he had a year’ish of r/jailbait existing to do anything about it, and chose not to.

Are you on team Ananas or team Pineapple though?
- Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone 1 month ago:
That one always rung a big hollow to me because of the timeframe of it. At the time he was made a mod there, invites didn’t exist. Folks could just be added to subs- it was actually a method for trolling. At the time, I could add Steve to r/SteveLovesDiddlingKids, for example, and he’d have no say in it. They changed it to an invite system after a subreddit called r/CrabBucket heavily abused it to force folks to stay.
That said, one can quite readily say that spez implicitly supported the jailbait subreddit when he left it up for several years knowingly (Including it being a subheader for reddit on google searches, and it getting nominated for subreddit of the year along with several votes for it.) and only got rid of it when Anderson Cooper did a report on CNN about it.

Overwork people until they die/kill themselves, great idea, what could go wrong. Really, I want to see homeboy do a month of whatever his lowest employee does with that schedule and THEN say he’s still for it. Bet he’ll be real fuckin’ quiet.

If that’s the case on reddit it must be pretty recent because I don’t recall it from my time there.
- Comment on User "threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works" is banning users for downvoting his posts. 3 months ago:
Vote visibility is off by default (IIRC) on reddit so at least there folks wouldn’t be banned just for downvoting someone.
- Comment on What's going on with imgur right now? 4 months ago:
Who wants to hear my, “Why reddit got image hosting of its own when it did” conspiracy theory? No one? Too bad, posting it anyhow.
Few years ago reddit had a subreddit called fatpeoplehate. It existed to, you guessed it, hate fat people. “Fattie” became an insult du juor. One day they find out an imgur employee is fat, and start in on being shitters. This apparently was the straw that broke the camels back because they finally got banned.
My theory is simple: reddit didn’t ban fatpeoplehate because they went too far. They banned it because imgur threatened to block them and being the image site, this would fuck reddit up. Imagine being a social media site with no pictures. Impossible.
Reddit, not too long after that, adds image hosting. Could it be a coincidence? Sure. Do I think its one? Not really.
Fun addendum, a study was done post-ban and reddit actually became less toxic after the ban. Crazy how denying shitty folks a platform actually makes your site better, whoda thunk?
