  I think maybe substitute the word planet for towns.

  Dying that air strike was very anti-Semitic of those children. /S

  I bet it would be depressing as fuck to watch that fat asshole try to Google how to fix something.

  Next step: putting the cells into one of those Boston Dynamics robot dogs with a gun attached. What could go wrong?

  Better than cops too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Millions worth of prediction market bets placed on US airstrikes on Iran⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What I don’t understand is that casinos work because other people make the opposite bets. If I bet on black at roulette, someone else bets on red. The casino doesn’t lose money. Who is making opposite bets here? The casino is just giving away money?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guilt by Association: First ‘Antifa’ Case Sweeps Anti-Trump Activists Into One Terrorism Conspiracy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re not antifa, you are profa. We should use Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin’s solution to rid ourselves of the profa.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. Cities at Risk of Sinking⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Credit Cards have three dimensions, one of which doesn’t seem to bad, so I am sure that is the one policy makers will choose to believe this chart is referencing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Because, f**k you! That's why.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I put kubuntu on an old laptop. It runs well enough that I am going to dual boot it on my main PC.

  Microsoft out here doing Linux marketing for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta patents AI that takes over a dead person’s account to keep posting and chatting - Dexerto⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What if I am still living but just don’t login to my fbook? My friends might mistake me for social? It seems likely to misrepresent me too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A very cool animation showing greed and capitalism⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw this many years ago, and I cannot remember where. Happy to see it again and depressed about how relevant it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dr. Oz pushes AI avatars as a fix for rural health care. Not so fast, critics say⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is a felony in Texas to practice medicine without a license. Probably most other jurisdictions. Who is serving the jail time?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Satya Nadella insists people are using Microsoft’s Copilot AI a lot⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I edited my registry to disable it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dragon Age veteran says scrapped Anthem Next "could have been" up there with No Man's Sky's legendary turnaround⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the worst thing BioWare did was ban people for loot exploiting when all they were doing was flying around in a loop collecting chests as they spawned. The players weren’t doing anything the game didn’t allow and banning them really created vitriol in the community. When added to the lack of end game, the player base just never got any growth momentum. It was really sad, because I was a huge BW fan and that game plus the loss of the Doctors really wrecked them (thanks EA /s). You could see the potential in Anthem, but it felt like a a great game engine waiting for the game to be written for it (honestly similar to pre-Forsaken Destiny 2, but even that had more content).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar baulks as a Charlie Kirk assassination mission is created in GTA Online, bans it and censors his name, but there's more out there⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So we should make Alex Jones and Stephen Miller missions to train people for the sequels?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump Says It’s Actually ‘A Good Thing’ Ford Can’t Hire Enough Workers: ‘You’re Gonna Have a Thing Called Robots’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US | Supreme Court takes case that could strip FCC of authority to issue fines⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So IRS cannot fine individual taxpayers without a jury trial? Or does this reasoning only apply to our corporate overlords?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨19 'mass extinctions' had CO2 levels we're now veering toward, study warns⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am imagining “hunters” swarming into the forest and exterminating everything edible within a couple of weeks like a plague of locusts. Even if they were hunters, it wouldn’t help them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They think they’ll get more money, but they don’t realize that people won’t even consider their cars due to lack of integration. I recently bought a used car for my kid. One of the nicer ones I looked at didn’t work with his phone, so we eliminated it from consideration.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are we deprogramming empathy in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no empathy nor sympathy left for the right. I would like for them all to bleed out through their eyeballs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palestinian shot dead at close range by IDF in West Bank; IDF says he threw a brick⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I suppose it is anti-Semitic to ask why he might have thrown a brick? Do they even have proof that he threw a brick?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Burger King now selling "Mystery" menus⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, baseball cards are a thing. My Dad had them as a kid in the 40s and 50s and they were not new then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PIGS GONNA PIG⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is just the beginning. Facial recognition rolling out. Your doorbell cam probably already supports it. Outstanding warrants? They’ll know where you are. Overstayed you visa? The facial recognition found you.

  You weren’t home when the crime was committed, and we don’t have any camera records of you being anywhere else, so now you are a suspect.

  Hope I am just being paranoid, but I’m too cynical to be optimistic at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Corcoran Group CEO says Gen Z’s housing market struggles mirror what boomers faced 30 years ago: ‘Stop buying Starbucks coffee,’ she advises⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Boomers were buying houses 45 years ago. Buy 30 years ago they were on their third or fourth move. I think the struggle of buying a $35,000 house on an annual $12k salary was a little different than the fantasy of buying a $500k house on a $36k salary.

  Gambling and the NBA, name a more iconic duo.

  Time to deploy bioweapons to take care of the problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Study: Global Fertility Rate Decline Now Linked Directly to the Commodification of Housing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a single child and I regret bringing him into this hell hole planet. I strongly believe that we are on the verge of ecological ruin. The oceans are overfished and becoming dangerously acidic. Drinkable water is being depleted. Soil nutrients are declining. Fascism is rising rapidly. We’re on the wrong side of the Hubbert curve, so everything is going to get progressively more expensive. Food production will drop as we lose the inputs for the Haber Bosch process. The decline will not be linear and some of the tipping points are already in our rear view mirror.

  The cost of housing is just one of many reasons why people might not want children, although normalcy bias hides the truth from many.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 50% of Gen Z Say They’re Too Burnt Out to Work⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just wait until they are Gen X age. Decades of this beating, still no real political power, and it seems to be getting worse rather than better. I can’t wait to lose my job to an AI that can’t actually do what I do, so that I can starve to death like some pathetic Dostoevsky character.
