- Comment on 4chan Is Dead. Its Toxic Legacy Is Everywhere 1 day ago:
I vaguely remember reading that some dude created 8chan because he thought 4chan was too heavily moderated or smth, which considering the little I saw while perusing 4chan ages ago, makes me wonder the depths to which 8chan can go.
You’d be surprised how uptight people can be about certain things, even while being extremely liberal with others.

4chan in the past years was mostly known as a FBI honeypot.

I’ve put a fair bit of effort into trying to understand the Japanese perspective, because as a northerner it frankly displays an odd contrast of values, being extremely sexually liberal, while also holding firm to tradition and social responsibility. It appears to me as though they manage this by maintaining quite clear social boundaries regarding empathy for each other’s individual perspective, and so they don’t appreciate when things which hold a strong sentimental place in many people’s hearts, such as the master of anime’s unique style, or a Shinto shrine in a popular video game, are portrayed in an uncharitable light within the public sphere.

The tools matter because of the sheer volume of content which literally any meth head can produce, which has already severely tainted the whole online ecosystem, and will only get worse.

I’m a pretty odd person.

There has never been a better time for explorers. People lament that there’s nothing ‘undiscovered’ anymore, but after studying STEM and digging into history I’ve learned that the fact we currently have access to everything those early explorers left behind for us gives us an unprecedented window into what out world actually is, and how it actually works, if only you can look at it with an earnest desire to learn.
Mark my words: Those who actually manage to rise above the din will grow to shine more brightly than anyone has for thousands of years. There is incredibly opportunity in hope right now.
- Comment on Why do European Leftist call their government's right wing despite having free healthcare? 1 week ago:
Because ‘Left’ and ‘Right’ are concepts used to split the voting population into two roughly equal groups which can be placed against each other to balance the other out. Where the divide needs to be made in order to achieve two roughly equally sized groups is different for each population.
- Comment on It's a sin in Christianity to consume media based on ancient mythology and folklore? 1 week ago:
Because irrational hatred is so ubiquitous that it goes entirely unquestioned (and even defended as you’re likely to see in response to this post), almost nobody seems to be aware that the scientific method was actually developed by the Catholic church as the religiously approved way to explore the mysteries of our world. The view that the religion is rigid and exclusionary just plain isn’t supported by reality. You can certainly find bad examples and pretend you’ve “proved” something, but there are far, far more good people who aren’t brain dead zealots.
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 2 weeks ago:
I think someone calculated the time it would take to read every single one you’re expected to agree with in normal every day life, and it worked out to needing 76 work days to read everything you “agree” to in a typical year.
- Comment on US cuts may affect FOSS projects funding (F-Droid, Tor, Let's Encrypt, TailsOS) 2 weeks ago:
I just like spreading the good word when people complain about some of Windows’ shitty features.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 2 weeks ago:
I was taught in college to only include a single question in one email unless you can’t get around it, because many people will only see the first one.

but that way DRM and windows would be AI too
That’s why I use O&Oshutup to turn off many of windows’ automatic functions. Probably my last windows machine anyways.
- Comment on US cuts may affect FOSS projects funding (F-Droid, Tor, Let's Encrypt, TailsOS) 2 weeks ago:
I’m considering the term more broadly here, to refer to it because the function takes control away from the user without their input.
- Comment on US cuts may affect FOSS projects funding (F-Droid, Tor, Let's Encrypt, TailsOS) 2 weeks ago:
I don’t use AI, in any form if I can help it. That was a 100% all natural ty[p.

Cunt funding by $1 and drive passion by 100x.
- Comment on Is this picture idea immature? 2 weeks ago:
It’s totally immature.
If that’s something you think you’ll have fun doing, I fully recommend it!
- Comment on How a false X post about pausing tariffs led to multi-trillion-dollar market swings. 2 weeks ago:
It’s kind of frightening that people who control that much capitol are apparently unaware that social media is not gospel truth.
- Comment on Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke tells employees to prove AI can’t do the job before asking for resources. 2 weeks ago:
A lot was invested on the promise of AI, only to discover that it’s not capable of becoming this “super intelligence” people were banking on.
- Comment on Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke tells employees to prove AI can’t do the job before asking for resources. 2 weeks ago:
A human has the ability to think outside the box when an unexpected error occurs, and seek resolution. AI could very well just tell you to kill yourself.

‘Political leadership’ doesn’t define reality. People are completely justified to assert rights even if they aren’t expressly approved by big daddy g’vmt.

Thanks, but your wasting your time. I’ve got some trolls trying to provoke arguments with me recently.

UK courts did something sane?
The world really is ending.

Am I taking crazy pills? The charts I’m looking at are still showing the markets substantially above where they were 10 years ago.

Could he have any interest in taking on other roles, like management? If he’s doing great in school, and has a direct connection to learning the ins and the outs of the industry through you, he could have a significant leg up.

Well, I certainly do appreciate seeing people like yourself making an active effort to bring some sanity back to the web. Keep it up!

Good luck with that. Volunteer moderation tends to attract some of the most toxic individuals on the planet.
- Comment on Sit down with your co-workers for a beer and everybody smiles. They even make tv shows about it. But sit down with your co-workers for a little opium and everybody gets their panties in a twist. 2 weeks ago:
We’ve been doing opium for thousands of years and still deem it harmful enough to ban. Hell, it’s bad enough that it has actually been used as a weapon in the past to destabilize nations.
- Comment on What art style you want to reproduce? 3 weeks ago:
I’m not certain if there’s actually a name for it, but I’m rather partial to this style I see all over the place in which a human artist uses physical media to create something which evokes emotions in the audience.
