Transhumanism—if it happens at all—is not happening anytime soon. Like, not for thousands of years if ever.
Listening to people talk about transhumanism today is like seeing people imagine flying cars in the 1950s. “Oh we’ve got this cool technology surely it means this wild extrapolation is right around the corner.”
Give me a break.

I thought you wrote ‘felching’ at first and thought “well, that’s bold but since they get their results from other engines, quite appropriate.”

“Literally” has been used a synonym for “figuratively” for, literally, over a century.

They literally sold out. They sold the company. And, they sold it to a corporation whose portfolio is littered with microtransactions.
cut their losses
What losses? Were they not profitable?
and cashed their checks
Yeah, that’s the selling out part.
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 4 weeks ago:
The founders are the villains of this piece as much as Krafton. They sold out for a big payday. This was all very predictable.
You’d have to really dense to think that Krafton is going to come along with half a billion dollars and just let things carry on as usual.

- Comment on Here’s What Mark Zuckerberg Is Offering Top AI Talent 5 weeks ago:
… pay packages of up to $300 million over four years, with more than $100 million in total compensation for the first year…
He’s really just creating the next generation of tech bros. This is how they reproduce. Someone drops a huge sum of money in their laps for being smart in a niche computer field. That money balloons their egos to the point of making them think they are smart at all the things. And, voilà, a techbro is born. The misogyny, racism and infatuation with eugenics comes naturally after that.

- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 1 month ago:
So, they want to take away healthcare young men don’t have so they’ll get jobs that don’t exist. Sounds like a conservative plan.

On the other hand, the new blockchain game they just released had funding from Marc Andreessen. So, color me skeptical.
- Comment on How Do I Prepare My Phone for a Protest? 1 month ago:
Yes, but this will call emergency services after, I think, ten seconds.
Make sure you cancel that call right away unless you actually need them.
- Comment on How Do I Prepare My Phone for a Protest? 1 month ago:
Yes, that’s why they are protesting.
- Comment on An analysis of X(Twitter)'s new XChat features shows that X can probably decrypt users' messages, as it holds users' private keys on its servers 2 months ago:

- Comment on YSK Trump is doing a rally at Ft Bragg and you can register online 2 months ago:

- Comment on The american crypto mafia 2 months ago:
Looks like the big crypto exchanges allow you to borrow/short sell.
There are crypto companies that are publicly traded as well as crypto ETFs. You could short sell those.
Personally,I wouldn’t risk it with how crazy crypto is. It’s seems way too easy to manipulate.

- Comment on Ground control to Major Trial: When a $130M aerospace company chooses to endlessly abuse opensource free trials instead of typing git pull, you start to question gravity, or at least common sense. 2 months ago:
Don’t know why they don’t shut them out from the trials. It’s good business to fire customers that are costing you money.
