I complained about shit like this more than a decade ago and everyone just laughed and said ‘Oh they’ll never do anything like that’
You get what you fucking deserve

No I hate linux too because I have a tendency to attribute human qualities to nonhuman entities.

For me I loved the challenge of squeezing out a few extra k of lower memory. My autoexec.bat had four hundred lines in it.
I miss those days honestly. There’s really not much practical benefit to overclocking anymore, even broke college kid level devices come with at least 8 gigs of ram.
8… gigs… of ram… and ALL of it treated like lower memory… Could you imagine that in the mid 90s? I’d be thinking star trek.
- Comment on Happy Star Trek Day! What was your first contact? 2 months ago:
Original series shortly after it went into syndication. The episode I first remember is “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield” and it has shaped my view of society greatly.

Even gay men like boobs, it’s kind f built in to us as a species.

It’s better they don’t disclose it and catch more people doing the same.
I’m all for transparency but if that means less caught child molesters, I’m ok with a little obfuscation, even from the fucking pigs.

I think it would be more helpful if you directly learned that most other people live much richer inner lives than you give credit for.
And frankly, MOST of the human race falls into some of your categories at points, especially the ‘ignorant of details’.
It’s better for your mental health not to stereotype too much or you’ll end up a misanthrope like me.

If we get a jan6 2.0, that is literally the last resort.
I’m hoping no human ever kills or dies for a political ideology but I am not that naive to think that blood won’t be spilled.
It already has, boogaloo boys and streaming church shooters.
And let us not forget there has never once been a successful capitulation with fascists, ever.

So you should know that not many people outside of the incelsphere use the word ‘normie’ unironically anymore. Lots of other groups used to, me being a part of several, and we stopped using it to avoid association a few years back but the chantards were being so loud with it that no one noticed really.
A lot of language works like that, when you see despicable people using a phrase that you commonly use, you generally tend to stop using them. Which is why there are things like corporate slogans and bumper stickers. All branding and identity.
So people self-segregate their language by creating new in-group words and retiring common definitions and whether or not they adopt out-group slang. This creates a unique fingerprint that, if a user is mostly exclusive to that slang group, they will treat the slang as common parlance and unconsciously slip into it when interacting with out-groups.
For example, when Digg died, it was common for redditors to call out the immigrating users for their particular line spacing which wasn’t really used on reddit at the time. Same language, slightly different slang, but fundamentally different message structure.
4chan’s 2016 crowd were super adept at sniffing out incoming redditors to a degree that almost makes me envious.
So when someone uses the phrase ‘normie’ like that, they are very likely to have spent most of their social upbringing (when linguistic adoption is still plastic) on chan-adjacent incel boards.

Which is why I support food shoplifting and radical community cooperation.
Also why it’s a tragedy that so much of this site is anti-religious, because churches were the original social safety net.
Religion has an organizing and empathizing trend, and I think it is a mistake to consider a secular society as better for the average human.

The unfortunate fact is it is a dog eat dog world
No it’s not, that’s zero sum owner class propaganda designed to force us to waste energy competing with our peers instead of fighting them
Humans have created a haven away from ‘nature red in tooth and claw’ where we DON’T have to compete with each other, and mutualism without profit is possible, it is literally the greatest achievement of our species, to short circuit natural selection.
In human culture, the weak and sick don’t have to be sacrificed for the good of the whole, and we can support a wide and diverse service and goods structure BECAUSE we have moved on from natural selection.
The problem is, predatory practices are often more rewarding short term than cooperative practices, and humans are geared for short term planning.
You get more food now for killing the farmer and taking his cattle, but you get more food for everyone forever if you let that farmer prosper.
Bandits kill the farmer, they are the ones telling you it is a dog eat dog world.
The farmer will tell you that the world is full of bounty if you put the effort in to cultivate it.
Yes a bandit uses less energy, and has more short term profit, but degrades the entire total outcome of the system by their greed.

No that hasn’t worked either. We need something new, not ideals from before the existence of the transistor.

Close, I said ‘bloody revolution’ but your response is more marketable.

if corporations were people, most would literally be narcissistic sociopaths, which is of course why the owner class likes them so much.
- Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that? 2 months ago:
Why: Because we are, and always have been, an oligarchy
How to fix: Bloody revolution, that’s about it.
The owner class never give up their power willingly, and we can’t afford to bribe the politicians enough to force them to.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
That’s a suffering trap because we all know 1) how good it would have been, and 2) A true progressive will never be allowed the nomination as long as the DNC exists in its current form.
Better to use that time to figure out what up and coming politicians have Bernie’s heart for when the future sentiment shifts.

The current ferment in the billionaire community is that ‘starting a religion based on the family and offering marriage partners from within the family as a promise of social mobility’ is the safest method of guaranteeing loyalty, so really they’re just making micromonarchies.
Treating them ‘with dignity and respect’ isn’t going to last very long as eventually the family guards will have members that covet the family’s wealth, resources, members, and well since they are guards they have access to all the weapons. Also: almost zero billionaires have respect for anyone who is not also a billionaire.
I agree with your campaign, though I would take it a step further and suggest we should just drag them all into the street and mulch them into fertile soil so the world can begin to heal.

Don’t forget ‘and are largely owned by old rich conservative white men with a vested interest in keeping a black woman who would raise their taxes out of office’.

It’s not wild, it’s the GOP plan since Nixon got nabbed.
Drumpf just happened to have that crazy crowd draw, so they yoked their hopes that he would be the first king of America, and disregarded everything else to forward that goal.
Cheetolini could eat a baby live on national television and his numbers would barely dip.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
Because most media companies are owned by rich conservative white men that don’t want a black woman into office that might raise their taxes.
It’s as simple as that.

It’s not just fuckerberg, EVERY billionaire is doing it and desperately pumping their billionaire friends for tips and suggestions on things like ‘keeping guards loyal for multiple generations’, and ‘what commodities to hoard for trading after the collapse’.
One of the sites I used to support was a high-end automation service, normally for factory equipment and biotech but pivoted to luxury home automation (no IoT devices, all site hosted with aerospace grade equipment), and they have been running at 100% for the last seven years deploying to ultra wealthy residential estates where the location is not disclosed.
The wealthy are expecting us to rise up within the next decade and a half, and I think they’re probably right.

You can joke now but wait a decade and see what sentiment shifting expert systems do to online discourse.
Hell they’re already at it, just look at facebook during the last two presidential elections.

AI isn’t going to fail, LLMs are going to fail and fail spectacularly.
Expert systems are already being very effectively used in medicine and astronomy, political sentiment shifting and HFTs.
Sentiment scraping expert systems are where the real danger and profit is, but everyone is being distracted by fuckdamn chat bots.
It’s like the whole world freaking out about plastic straws when the real problem is microplastics settled in every fuckdamn organism on the planet.

The world is burning and the rich know this so they are desperate to multiply their money and secure their luxury survival bunkers, which is why they are gambling harder.
