Safety ads in the 70s went hard. Nobody worried that kids might be traumatised, and some probably were

Don’t love sex too much though or you might become a poor dog or cockroach in your next life.
- Comment on Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing 1 day ago:
So glad my TV is a dumb-as-shit model from the early 00s I bought secondhand for about $30
- Comment on waooooo 2 days ago:
Presumably it started as chemistry done badly, and did come up with some discoveries, but as the scientific method got refined and principles were uncovered that didn’t correlate to celestial bodies or folklore, it diverged from the practical and became metaphorical. A bit like Freemasonry starting with stonemasons’ guilds and then gentrifying.
- Comment on Revealed: Shop where Glasgow fire started had not registered to sell vapes or paid business taxes 2 days ago:
Presumably by the time the company tax deadline passed, the company would have gone bankrupt, and been replaced by an identical newly-registered company with the old company’s owner’s cousin as managing director, selling the same stock of vapes/American candy/counterfeit labobos without a day’s downtime.

Except for maybe eight countries. The US, North Korea and a few small Pacific island states, if I recall correctly.

If Trump called for a Vietnam-scale deployment, how long would it take Australia to bring in the draft and train new conscripts to readiness?

- Comment on What's your favorite band? (Of frequency that is) 3 days ago:
There’s also the effect of psychoactive drugs. Cannabis is correlated with an affinity for heavy bass (think reggae and dub), and apparently cocaine can cause sound engineers to push the treble up, resulting in a harsh, brittle mix.

Some of your distant ancestors, from long before modern European ethnic groups formed, were of a lineage more likely to eventually end up in Spain than Scandinavia, though you inherited from the minority.
- Comment on i have a fantasy of marrying a divorced dad and being the young cool stepmom 4 days ago:
Presumably it depends on the men having kids from a previous (or soon-to-be-previous) relationship, so if you’re one of those childless weirdos, you may need to make up a child, like in that Nick Hornby novel.

- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 1 week ago:
It mentions style as being among the data points used, along with personal details, though if your hidden account is used for things like whistleblowing or niche erotica, you may not be mentioning telltale biographical details at all often, while you can’t help writing the way you write, with numerous unconscious choices between alternative ways of phrasing things, which will be the bulk of what it has to work with.
Of course, that doesn’t mean you couldn’t slip up, so if you don’t want your posts traced back to you, also look out for any details you’re leaking and file the serial numbers off them (and perhaps rig up a way of delaying your posts outside of your waking hours).
- Comment on Looks fine to me 1 week ago:
Spain is just paying tribute to its 20th-century avant-garde heritage, i.e. Picasso and Dali.
- Comment on Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands 1 week ago:
It’s not quite as bad as that: women are turning left more than men are turning right. A few young men are getting fully into fascism/neoreactionary ideology, though many more are just bumbling around muttering “I don’t agree with everything Joe Rogan says but he is funny”. Meanwhile, young women are in the woods looking for a nice bear.
- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 1 week ago:
This seems to mostly scale up stylometry (the method of identifying authorship by writing style), a long-established technique. It unmasked the Unabomber in the 90s, as well as the anonymous author of a scandalous book about the Clinton administration. Indeed, one technique some writers use of dodging this is to deliberately write in character in a contrived style (there was an information-security poster on Twitter whose style was modelled on Taylor Swift, for example).
As all things are an arms race, a countermeasure to this would be a locally-hosted language model that can rephrase text into a more neutral style. Install it on your phone, select the text you’ve written and get it to rewrite it, getting something without any regionalisms, turns of phrase or other peculiarities of your writing style that you wouldn’t notice but would identify you given a large enough corpus of your writings. A voice changer for text, if you will.
- Comment on Under half of young Australians believe democracy is always a preferable form of government 1 week ago:
Also, GenZ men are twice as likely as boomers to believe that wives should obey their husbands.
It seems that, under the guidance of right-wing oligarchs and their algorithms, humanity has collectively decided that society peaked in Franco-era Spain or something.

- Comment on ard 1 week ago:
“-ard” would mean not so much “excessively” as “by their/its nature”; i.e. a seed/condiment whose very nature is mustiness, a person conceived out of wedlock (which was considered a black mark on one’s character back then), one who is habitually drunk, and so on
- Comment on Do werewolves shed? Or do they lose their whole coat when transferring back? Do Vampires have little holes in their K9s to suck up the blood after puncturing someone or thing? 1 week ago:
But if you don’t take their human skin, what does the transformation back look like? I’m imagining the somewhat absurd scene of a werewolf anxiously arranging its tattered human skin around itself with its rough paws for the magic to do its stuff.
- Comment on Do werewolves shed? Or do they lose their whole coat when transferring back? Do Vampires have little holes in their K9s to suck up the blood after puncturing someone or thing? 1 week ago:
Do they need to find it and put it back on to transform back, or does that involve them shedding their wolf pelt and emerging in human form from within it?
