  oh no, the world will find out I’m 50. oh the shame, oh the horror.

  She controls his agenda. She sometimes takes decisions on his behalf.

  … what exactly does “takes decisions on his behalf” mean? I’ve never “taken” someone else’s decision, afaik… but I don’t really know what that’s supposed to mean, so whatever

  I’ll take it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: NASA’s Moon landing relied on Nazi scientists — and a secret U.S. program brought them here⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  isn’t this something everybody knows already? it’s been common knowledge since like, forever. even if you’re a middle school dropout, live in willful ignorance and never pick up a book or periodical, you’ll still accidentally learn this fact from TV and movies

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Four teams of humanoid robots faced off in a fully autonomous 3-on-3 football game powered entirely by artificial intelligence in Beijing on Saturday night.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s see if this link works. It’s just as fast-paced and exciting as a peewee soccer tournament

  Actually, they should’ve pitted the robots against little kids. That would’ve been hilarious.

  I sure would like to read this article, it seems fascinating, but it’s paywalled.

  … I think I agree with your sentiment? honestly it’s hard to tell because everything you just said is delivered in this ultra-cringe meme language. I guess this is so the average middle schooler can understand what you’re saying? or is this how robots think humans communicate, so when they want to pretend they’re an “average human internet user”, they talk in this ridiculous idiotic meme codec? idk, whatever, it’s peak cringe, but ok cool comment

  I’ve been meaning to check out this “nature” thing, or whatever it’s called. It’s basically like, just lakes and woods and the sky and all kinda weird shit like that. Supposed to be pretty cool I guess, idk

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube rolls out more unskippable ads that make viewers wait even longer to watch videos - Dexerto⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been ad-free youtubing since it came out in '06 or whenever that was. It’s a shame that they disabled uBlock on Chrome, I used to really enjoy my chromebook before it became spam cancer

  this is usually when I would say something conceited like “lol glad I don’t live in the US” but then I realise that I’m just as fucked as the rest of the world and we don’t have a future

  hopefully microplastics will invade my colon/heart/kidneys/liver/brain soon and remove me from this living nightmare, I can’t deal with this shit anymore

  eventually they’ll come out with a device that charges you while you wear all of your chargeable items. you just plug yourself into a USB outlet and all your shit gets charged simultaneously

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  so basically you communicate through a string of auto-generated usernames. clever. do you have a rotating cipher? that’s the way to do it if you want to stay ahead of the Nazis

  Don’t forget about their income as TikTokers… which is still something I can’t understand. Collecting money for posting inane, self-fellating horse shit to social media? That’s a job? Ok whatever

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kawasaki is developing a robot to be ridden like a horse - Asia Times⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m waiting for the laser sword as a standard option. It’s always a bad idea to buy the first model anyway, and you know it’s coming. I mean who in their right mind rides a robot horse without a light sabre?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The federal minimum wage is officially a poverty wage in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t that what servers make in the US? when I lived there in the 90s, minimum wage was 4.25/hr, but the servers in the restaurant I worked at were making 2.35/hr, and that wage hadn’t changed since like the 70s or some crazy shit.

  according to the article it’s a tiny smattering of brain cells grown from stem cells derived from his blood, which he donated before he died specifically for this experiment. it is in no way conscious.

  Dude, Peg was so hot, why didn’t he ever want to bang her? Cyclops Peg was arguably hotter though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The US Secretary of Education referred to AI as ‘A1,’ like the steak sauce⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My question, if I may ask it, is that HP is better than A1. Wait no I mean is HP better than A1? I’ll go ahead and answer that for you: yes. Yes it is.

  as a Canadian I’m used to everything being expensive as fuck, but I have to draw the line somewhere. this is why piracy exists. I’ll probably break down and buy one at the next major Zelda title launch, because I don’t get a choice in that. my heart wants what it wants, and I’m getting too old to say no at this point.

  I bailed out. Fled to Canada, where after 16 years of happiness it now looks as if I might lose my country and be forced to become American again… fuck that. I’d rather die. I’ll disappear into the Shield and survive on bass and pickerel for the rest of my life, living like Rambo. Yeah John Rambo was American, but he would’ve been much better off as a Canadian.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Israel publicly announces genocidal intent⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s about hurting the right people. whomever you need to hurt to push your agenda through, that’s who needs a whoopin’, but once that’s been accomplished, you can go back to hurting the people you really want to hurt. that’s “Freedom”, American Style

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This speaks for itself⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your Radio Shack example is legit. I had an uncle who worked at Radio Shack as some sort of, idk, tech or something? I was a kid and it was in the 80’s, all I knew was that he worked there and made good money doing it.

  Then one day he gets recruited by a multinational tech corporation and moves to Berlin to work in a lab. He could’ve taken my aunt with him, but she cheated on him as soon as he left for the 2 probationary weeks he spent in Germany before the company in question committed to hiring him.

  He eventually became a millionaire with dual citizenship and my aunt married some abusive dipshit who immediately went broke. Now she works in a pickle factory. Ain’t life interesting?

  Just FYI, the word “hence” literally means “for this reason”. So you just said “for this reason the reason” lol.
