- Comment on Intel is reportedly preparing a 10% price increase for consumer CPUs 3 days ago:
People still buy intel CPUs? I think my last Intel CPU was the P3 I got for $100 when I worked at CompUSA in 1999-2000.
- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 1 week ago:
I’m in favor of affirmative action because it attempts to correct discrimination. It’s not racist, it is racial. Affirmative action acknowledges that discrimination has existed and takes measures to attempt to prevent it.
- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 1 week ago:
I understand the problem is real.
Discrimination is discrimination though.
- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 1 week ago:
They do care so that they can match yours and other people’s requests.
Right, they do so in order to organize people into specific categories, and provide different services based on those categories.
- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 1 week ago:
Uber doesn’t care what your race, gender, or political leaning is
Yes, they specifically do. They need to know the riders’ gender in order for pairing to work.
- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 2 weeks ago:
So MAGA racists with a preference for a white driver… that’s totally ok, right?
- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 2 weeks ago:
“I only want white drivers” - some racist.
It’s the same fucking thing.
- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 2 weeks ago:
It is. There’s already cases pending in California challenging it. It violates both Unruh Civil Right and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. If male drivers are getting less customers because they are male, and those customers are instead being sent to female drivers; explain like I’m 5 how that’s not blatant discrimination based on gender?
- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 2 weeks ago:
I get it, but it’s discrimination and someone is going to sue them for it.

You didn’t ask me, but I’ve got something: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21390957/
I’ve understood that Women make better surgeons as well; for the exact same reason. Steadier hand.
- Comment on Firearm Advice 2 weeks ago:
Believe it or not, that’s actually the most recent revision to the training. The military has been training to aim for the dick area because everyone has plates that protect center-mass these days. You cannot effectively move AND have armor that restricts your legs from working.
- Comment on Reddit users hate NordVPN. Are their criticisms legit? 2 weeks ago:
They’re overpriced.
- Comment on Reddit users hate NordVPN. Are their criticisms legit? 2 weeks ago:
If you’re in the USA, you should be using a VPN 100% of the time right now.
- Comment on Reddit users hate NordVPN. Are their criticisms legit? 2 weeks ago:
Nord doesn’t do a whole lot for anyone so it’s pretty worthless.
That being said, I switched to Proton from Nord a few months ago and this shit isn’t working out either. Constantly flapping connection with Proton.
I need a different alternative.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 2 weeks ago:
Abandoned grocery carts full of food might also be coming to my local supermarket.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Next step in the evolution is taking them directly from the dryer and throwing them on a freshly cleaned spot of the bedroom floor; bypass the closet and drawer system entirely. You don’t leave the house anyway. No one knows that your wrinkled shirt at 7:30am was wrinkled by your first meeting at 9:00am.

TL;DR, tried to grow cojones but ended up with 4 dicks.
- Comment on Highguard will permanently shut down on March 12th. 3 weeks ago:
Never heard of it
- Comment on "Cancel ChatGPT" movement goes mainstream after OpenAI closes deal with U.S. Department of War — as Anthropic refuses to surveil American citizens 3 weeks ago:
I laughed when I read “all lawful means.”
Those are almost the exact words that you’re supposed to use for a NFA form 1 / 4 when registering certain types of firearms / firearms parts that require a tax stamp, and additional scrutiny.
When I did my SBR registration, it was “all lawful purposes…” but fuck, close enough…
- Comment on Amazon's Ring cancels Flock partnership amid Super Bowl ad backlash 5 weeks ago:
lol no… they’re just saying that
- Comment on Why are people disconnecting or destroying their Ring cameras? 5 weeks ago:
Which cameras do you use?
- Comment on BASED? 1 month ago:
Not sure I fully understand, that’s like saying “It’s true, but funny, because… reasons.”
- Comment on 1 month ago:
By the time they fix it, it’ll be Windows 12. We see the pattern over and over again, but this time they tried strong arming people onto 11. Those people aren’t going back.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Not that, they’re still around.

Next step is to make sure only the workers are shareholders.
- Comment on If only 2 months ago:
The chain was so someone didn’t steal his wallet… because everyone could use an extra $2
- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 2 months ago:
It’s getting more and more absurd.
“We can’t think of a good use for this parasite outside of our industry.”
- Comment on Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurge 2 months ago:
Unfortunately, that’s their only job, to make the number go up.
- Comment on AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns 2 months ago:
It’s being shoved down everyone’s throats for the same reasons it was shoved down everyone’s throats 6 years ago… they need to train this shit so they can replace everyone.
It has the economics of a bubble, is making or computing extremely expensive and in most cases degrades my experience. Obviously they are running into a wall.
This screams fraud more than anything to me. It feels more like Enron than pets.com but maybe it’s a bubble. I won’t argue with you there. The rest of this statement, I agree with.
They will however not lead to AGI.
I’m not confident about that. How are you confident about that? I’m also not saying you’re wrong… but I don’t think you know this.
And we’re not even talking about how there are people in jail for a fraction of the piracy these companies committed out that they used peoples private data to train these models. Based on how IP law is wielded against people we should get a payout for every single time an LLM is queried.
Fully agree with you.
