I have some bad news for you about your education system
- Comment on So now that it's that time of year again in the US, what are some tips and tricks for dealing with that one relative who goes on about the same bullshit for hours and won't shut the fuck up? 4 days ago:
I wasn’t referring to the Nazi part, I was referring to the ‘no contact with entire family’ part
- Comment on So now that it's that time of year again in the US, what are some tips and tricks for dealing with that one relative who goes on about the same bullshit for hours and won't shut the fuck up? 4 days ago:
Sure, if that works for you. Given OP’s question though, it’s unlikely that’s what they’re looking for and you’re just pushing your own opinion instead of trying to help them.
- Comment on Meet the AI workers who tell their friends and family to stay away from AI 4 days ago:
All it needs is enough tech ability to run a few docker commands. That has absolutely nothing to do with LLMs. Not to mention the horrifying intrusion on our rights by limiting what we can host.

Most people have at least some family they’d like to see during holidays.
- Comment on Waymo says its self-driving taxis will take customers on freeways for the first time 1 week ago:
That’s a hell of a goalpost move. And anyway the accountability issue was already brought up. See sh.itjust.works/comment/22111884
- Comment on We* emphasize exclusive access to objects more than we ever did. 1 week ago:
Tragedy of the commons. As communities grow bigger and more distant, commons become more open to abuse

Don’t feed the brand new troll acc, folks
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 1 week ago:
Doesn’t really answer the question for people like me who didn’t follow their every action
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 2 weeks ago:
That seems like way too recent to have any impact, though. It wouldn’t even have made it into their report data
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Fair enough
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
They’re still a horrible company in many ways. Forcing them to be better in this one aspect doesn’t change the fact they’re shitty
- Comment on Waymo says its self-driving taxis will take customers on freeways for the first time 2 weeks ago:
Drivers are literally known to make improper decisions and have been caught on camera crashing into things. What the fuck are people doing?
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
You misunderstand, I’m all for hiring them back. I’m saying that shouldn’t change his boycott of rockstar
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Why? Even if it goes through, they’ve already shown their colours.
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 2 weeks ago:
What did they screw up recently?
- Comment on The Economist on using phrenology for hiring and lending decisions: "Some might argue that face-based analysis is more meritocratic" […] "For people without access to credit, that could be a blessing" 2 weeks ago:
It’s petty reliable, it detected the authors to be psychos
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 weeks ago:
Why does everyone here Yuck other peoples Yum? You aren’t forced to buy them
The irony of this being your previous comment
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 weeks ago:
When was that?
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 2 weeks ago:
Almost everything. I’ve got this weird issue where my controller gets misrecognised as the wrong type, and there’s simply no way for me to force steam to recategorise it.
- Comment on When we eat the billionaires, we should spare Gabe Newell? No? 2 weeks ago:
Considering the role of steam, yeah if you squint at it right
- Comment on When we eat the billionaires, we should spare Gabe Newell? No? 2 weeks ago:
That’s real life for you, with all those pesky shades of grey
- Comment on When we eat the billionaires, we should spare Gabe Newell? No? 2 weeks ago:
When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure
- Comment on If we ever find a planet with life in it, we could never set foot on it, because the interaction of the two biologies can have unpredictable consequences 2 weeks ago:
There’s an entire very large genre of scifi about this very topic
- Comment on NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’ 2 weeks ago:
You’d be surprised, I’ve been called a Nazi for saying that just maybe, the Asian with 88 in their username is not a secret white supremacist (especially considering Chinese consider 8 auspicious, more so multiples of it)
- Comment on NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’ 2 weeks ago:
Was referring to the hand sign and numbers. But yeah, the flag would probably get you mistaken for the Red Cross
- Comment on A Small Town Is Fighting a $1.2 Billion AI Datacenter for America's Nuclear Weapon Scientists 2 weeks ago:
It’s mostly another NIMBY neighborhood getting their knickers in a twist because the facility will be used for nuclear research. That’s the main point they’re taking exception to.
- Comment on NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’ 2 weeks ago:
The ok sign is " just" a common hand sign
14 and 88 are just numbers
You realise most of this is very local, and will vary greatly depending on which part of the world you’re in?
