Hey, it’s me, ur Illuminati.
- Comment on No fucking way! I got invited to the Illuminati 1 day ago:
I am saddened that the Illuminati sent out fake notices to all of you to mask their attempts to recruit me.
- Comment on ICE Will Use AI to Surveil Social Media 1 day ago:
I think it’s more difficult to identify me from an anonymous account where I don’t even talk about myself that much than from an account under their legal name with a bunch of pictures of themselves.
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 2 days ago:
45 year old here…I’m pretty sure I’ve never bought an analog clock and I think it would be weird for a school—or any place, really—to have one. I’m not surprised kids don’t learn outdated technology and anybody who is mad about it should pick up a slide rule.

I am fine with a few spiders around, but the detente does not extend to eggsacs.
- Comment on Corcoran Group CEO says Gen Z’s housing market struggles mirror what boomers faced 30 years ago: ‘Stop buying Starbucks coffee,’ she advises 3 days ago:
Rich boomers who are starting to suspect that they destroyed the world and need someone to tell them everything is fine, every single person under 50 is just whiny and lazy.
- Comment on Amazon Allegedly Replaced 40% of AWS DevOps With AI Days Before Crash 4 days ago:
The thing is that Amazon needs to get broken up way more than Ma Bell did. Most people have never heard of AWS before, but it’s crazy to have one company own so much of the internet, even before you get into their stranglehold on internet commerce (which also should be broken up).

I mean I’m not going to say no to the Nintendo porn
- Comment on Apparently Palantir can access the content of social media accounts that were deleted a decade ago. 5 days ago:
The sale to a right wing Trumpbuddy proves what I have been saying. The position of the US government is quite consistent: “WE get all of your data.”
- Comment on Apparently Palantir can access the content of social media accounts that were deleted a decade ago. 6 days ago:
When people were up in arms about China getting data from TikTok, I wondered if they had any idea of what the NSA does.

Lying that they have the Reddit comments that they showed everyone?
Anyway, Reddit is one of the most scraped sites on the internet. Be sure that everyone who wants an archive of Reddit has an archive of Reddit. Anything you put on the internet is forever.
I don’t exactly mean to say this is nothingburger, but it is one of the less interesting bits of living in a dystopia and is too low on the list of evil shit Palantir is doing to care that much about.

If the venemous claws fit.

Imagine 8 hours of toddlers watching a birth.
- Comment on A young woman was sexually assaulted while out DoorDashing. Two days after she reported the assault to DoorDash, they deactivated her account and she can't access the money she's owed. 1 week ago:
Are you under the impression that third party contractors are not paid wages?
- Comment on It's not? 1 week ago:
I’m not sure anyone thought “naughty hole” was an official government agency. It’s good to recommend body safe sex toys as a matter of habit.
- Comment on Believe it or not 2 weeks ago:
I’ll never understand why people argue about subjective opinions. Pineapple gives pizza a sweetness to compliment the savory tomato. If you don’t like it, don’t put pineapple on your pizza and shut up about other people’s decisions.
- Comment on relationship shirt 2 weeks ago:
If you consider the number of hetero girls who aren’t interested in dating bi guys is probably larger than the number of guys who date guys, the pool is potentially doubled but effectively shrinks a bit.
- Comment on Confession 2 weeks ago:
I’m a nerd, not really a weeb. So this is an anime thing? The comic didn’t make any sense to me until this thread.
- Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account 2 weeks ago:
The problem is that they realized that they could do both.
- Comment on A lot of media depict the United States as being invaded by fascists from the outside. Nobody thought fascism will come from within until now. 2 weeks ago:
I did not at all lose the birth lottery. Being Black is fucking awesome. I just need the rest of y’all to act like you have some sense.

I’m not sure how many classrooms still do this, but it is becoming less common.

As a Black American the number of white people saying “Who could have known” what we have been screaming at them is infuriating.
As a leftist, the people who said we were overreacting about the Patriot Act 25 years ago (and continuously since) are now saying that we devolved into fascism quickly.
Lots of insult intended. More insult than you can imagine. If you’re reading this and you have been complacent, it’s time to get into the streets.

What’s underhanded about it?

You know what they say “When you hear hoofbeats, think of an ungodly castle/knight amalgamation.”
- Comment on EA's new owners are making "a huge bet" on generative AI cost-cutting to help repay a $20 billion loan, claims report 4 weeks ago:
They’re cracking it open and sucking out the marrow.Just like every other time private equity has “leverage buyout”-ed a company into the ground.
They’ll pay themselves billions in executive compensation and then move on like locusts.
- Comment on Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots, Researchers Say 4 weeks ago:
Biglari has been trying to take over Cracker Barrel for years. Not really hard to guess who was behind this.
- Comment on PhDebaters 4 weeks ago:
My esteemed colleague’s first 300 books are riveting, but at that point the argument falls apart. They fail to account for the Herman reversal: “I know you are, but what am I” (Herman et al,1985). Amusing, but hardly a work of serious scholarship.
- Comment on nostalgia 4 weeks ago:
This is PRECISELY why I’m a big fan of explaining jokes. Most of us wouldn’t have understood any of this context.
- Comment on Abu Dhabi royal family to take stake in TikTok US under Trump deal * It will become platform owned by different bastards 4 weeks ago:
Starting with “Hate to break it to you” is starting an argument with someone on your own side for no reason.
We used to have laws against media consolidation. Yes, the wealthy have always owned media, however, this is still new
You’re making a point slightly different than mine. It’s weird and unnecessary to act like I didn’t know that.
