  It’s been reported widely that it’s already happening. They use phone banks to scam, they use AI to scam. If it’s out there, it’s being used to scam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pakistani religious body declares using VPN is against Islamic law⁩ ⁨⁨39⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s “the advisory board of religious affairs.” You think that group of people can’t be religious nuts?

  Also, it’s 100% about religion because their entire excuse is that it runs contrary to religious law. I mean, to your credit, you’re kinda right because this does have nothing to truly do with religion and is about control. But they’re using religion to do it.

  “Using a VPN goes against our religious beliefs?” Come the fuck on.

  Yeah this is like people who think they’re “saving money” when they go shopping because there’s a sale. You didn’t save money. You spent it. You just might’ve spent more (depending on the store because a lot of them mark things up just to mark them back to full price)

  But Twitter has been bleeding users. And since the election there has been a very public exodus by bigger names. So this isn’t about “go where the viewers are.” This is “spend money to stay on the good side of someone who might be even more inordinately powerful with an incredibly powerful and vengeful sidekick.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Worst Apology Video on the Planet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, it’s a commentary video about the apology itself

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Worst Apology Video on the Planet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So…what exactly did he do wrong? Because after watching the video I subscribed, wouldn’t mind seeing some similar videos in the future. But then I read this. But…I don’t know if it’s worth unsubscribing. So…care to share or nah

  Dude AW2 is fuckin excellent. I will admit to getting stuck on (what I imagine is) the final stand for Agent (can’t remember her name) by the lake. I went back to playing cyberpunk again because I’ve been playing it way too much.

  Why does that thumbnail bring to mind some kind of white supremacist ceremony

  Have you ever raised a teenager? It’s not easy nor straightforward. But encouraging suicidal ideation…kinda is straightforward.

  Yeah, the game was made in 2010. That kind of detail wasn’t really possible. It has been remastered, but—and I’m not a person who would know—I don’t think that involves redesigning the world as much as scaling up the graphics
