- Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia? 7 hours ago:
I mean, that point about seperating a mother and child, kind of forms the entire basis of the show as its what drive Captain Ake to come head the new Starfleet Academy. She feels like complete shit that it happened and wants Starfleet to be better in its rebirth.
And technically, Academy IS a “dystpian setting” because they had the galaxy wide apocalypse event that was The Burn that obliterated every warp drive and collapsed everything but it sounds like you didn’t watch Discovery so you may have missed that.
- Comment on Neocities founder stuck in chatbot hell after Bing blocked 1.5 million sites 2 days ago:
Bing is basically the only search engine that doesn’t actively censor our porn results. Its impossible to find videos for shit on Google even with “safe search” turned off.
- Comment on Neocities founder stuck in chatbot hell after Bing blocked 1.5 million sites 2 days ago:
Yes. I want an old school sewrch engine that JUST does blogs and small websites. And no “Big News Website Blogs”. Just random people on Wordpress and Blogger, etc.
I was browsing a Geocities archive the other day and its just like, fuck I miss when the web was just fun and random people making dumb websites about random shit.

Also, for many of these people, do not underestimate the underlying religous issue. In the case of vaccines, its becomes some sort of “mark of the beast” nonsense. See also the dumb “microchips in the vaccines” stupidity.
- Comment on Chasing the Elephant 2 months ago:
I am.pretty sure the only “cause” is that society has become more open and accepting in general so people who have these various “new issues” that idiots like to boogeyman over are just, not supressing themselves as much or you know, suiciding over society treating them like shit as much.
- Comment on sushi delivery 3 months ago:
I did this once. I didn’t realize it was sushi though.
I was outnof town, training for work. My meals were paid. I decided "That tuna is $20, but I am not paying it so why not.
It was raw.
So I cooked it in the hotel room.
- Comment on Commercials seem to be normalizing an unhealthy work-balance more. 3 months ago:
Kimd of. It also tends to push more “We need to actually follow the cop rules”.
Not like Law and Order, which pushes, among other things, my biggest gripe, “Look, don’t make me go get a warrant.” Like no, go get your warrant, do it right."

Why would I not want to meet the Moomins?
- Comment on Commercials seem to be normalizing an unhealthy work-balance more. 3 months ago:
Eh, not really. It way more grounded that moat Copaganda shows like Law and Order. Funny too at times, since its a pseudo comedy series.
- Comment on Republican? Democrat? There is a third option: 3 months ago:
Nobody gives a shit about the endless holy land war. It sucks that people are dying, but they have basically always been dying because everyone thinks their stupid Sky Daddy Book is the best.
Killing the US over this stupid bull shit is honestly, worse than killing it over the GOP’s shitty policies.

Thats likely too. I will say, as someone who works in telcom, the whole Geofenced ads and cpupons idea was something being pitched like, 10+ years ago. I don’t know if it ever panned out, but it was pushed. The other part was getting say, your Lowes app to ping you with a 5% off coupon for that thing you have been standing in front of pondering for ten minutes.

Yeah, and we have led to a race to the bottom.in a war against ads that everyone hates.
Short term bull shit for long term death.

I enjoyed FH5, but FH4 was better. 5 is the onky one I don’t actually own yet, I basically did everything at launch during a Gamepass trial. I plaued FH4 almost daily for like a year or more.
- Comment on Forza Horizon 6 Japan setting confirmed 4 months ago:
FH5 came out in 2021.

I am fine if it means I don’t have to watch some scam ass ad.

When I worked there in the late 90s, a Big Mac MEAL was 3.14 after tax.
I worked in Drivethrough checkout a lot and a lot of those prices are burned into my mind, half the time I was not near the register when taking orders and giving totals when it was slow.

Probably not.video, just pinpoint geofencing on your phone.
- Comment on Google just broke *all* third-party web clients, including yt-dlp; a full JS implementation is now required. 4 months ago:
What I don’t understand. Like, they know people hate shitty ads.
If they had like, literally any level of vetting on the ads, people might actually watch them. But its all fucking scams or podcasts of lies pretending to be ads etc.

Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet due to not clearing its orbital path.
Why would they just lie about Pluto like that?

- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 6 months ago:
The entire concept of agents feels like its never going to fly, especially for anything involving money. I am not going to tell and AI I want to bake a cake and trust that will find the correct ingredients at the right price and the door dash them to me.
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 6 months ago:
Because, more often, if you ask a human what “1+1” is, and they don’t know, they will just say they don’t know.
AI will confidently insist its 3, and make up math algorythms to prove it.
