- Comment on Society is starting to appropriately accommodate neurodivergence, yet stupid/idiot/crazy/lazy etc. stay in the vocabulary. 2 days ago:
Well most people aren’t referring to a mental illness when they say retard yet u can’t say that anymore. Well at least of left wing places like lemmy.
- Comment on Are we about to see the WW3? 2 days ago:
Depends. Can the galling regime in Iran motivate a Shiite revolution across the world and can they do gorilla warfare from tunnels in Iran’s mountainous regions for a long time. And distrupt the flow of oil sufficiently thus causing the us dollar to collapse and thus the global markets along with it (Rothschild banks USD as international reserve currency etc etc).
The us is distracted so China might take the opportunity to take Taiwan. That will herold in the end of the consumer driven economy enjoyed by the western world cos trade with china drives everything.
When markets and quality of life collapse this bad u either get a populist revolution (eg Hitler, Stalin, etc) or the government starts an economic rejuvenation project (war driven economy).
The economy is essentially just a function of how effective a population is at turning resources into product. Wealth concentration has got so heigh we are approaching the point that people can no longer consume the GDP. Thus u need a product sink else the economy stops. Thankfully the war driven economy already proves an excellent resources sink (war itself). Orwell predicted this yet nobody listened.
We might get to be the ones to witness the death of liberty, but then again the pots boiling so slowly their is little chance we will know when that happens. Who’s to say the final blow to liberty hasn’t already been dealt and we just can’t see it yet.

Nearly half is less than 50% democracy therefore says it stays. Seems pretty clear cut to me.
- Comment on $1,000 car loan payments are on the rise, stressing household budgets 1 week ago:
If u can pay that much to rent u can afford to buy some shitbox outright no credit required. Most of the shitboxed I’ve driven or my mates have driven are reliable as shit just ugly with no ac, and a broken stereo.
- Comment on $1,000 car loan payments are on the rise, stressing household budgets 1 week ago:
Why in the fuck would u pay that and not just buy a shitbox for like 2k
- Comment on How could online identity work without permanent usernames or unrecoverable accounts? 1 week ago:
Atproto accepts 2 forms of did did:web (their own special snowflake identity system with trusted servers managing it so its not trustless) and did:pgp which is just pgp keys. Any identity system requires a source of truth in a cryptographic system that’s the private key generated from a seed phrase (essentially same as a password) the source of truth is ur memory. The other source of proof is biometrics. Any system must come down to one of those 2 things.

- Comment on Moltbook was peak AI theater 1 week ago:
The mandatory ai isn’t to make the employees faster or more efficient its to get all the data of u correcting the ai in doing ur job. Same reason I run !news_summary@hilariouschaos.com that’s not just to provide news summaries that’s mainly to get the data of people correcting its mistakes which I can all feed in as a signal for making my bot better at trading decisions. Lemmy hating on ai is really useful it provides one of the last bastions where I can get a real human in the loop. And I’m sure u don’t agree with me doing that but feel free to complain about it because as we know all publicity is good publicity.
- Comment on The Age Verification Trap... Verifying user’s ages undermines everyone’s data protection 1 week ago:
Surly that has made a lot of people unexpectedly hostile actors. Like what about people developing a webserver that has e2ee does that make them a hostile actor
- Comment on I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day 1 week ago:
The problem is if everyone uses it then it creates great pressure for others to also use it. I try to avoid it as best I can and prefer to only use platform where I can post under a variety of names without hard links to my real identity.

Bro any archiving/scraping tool can be used for ddos u just tell it to archive the same site over and over and now u have a different IP spamming the endpoint
- Comment on (REDO) FediNSFW the announcements community for the lemmyNSFW replacement 1 week ago:
Downvotes are a “I don’t like this” signal that’s the entire purpose. Of course it meant that guys posting got berried that’s the whole point. That content was unpopular thus it got downvoted saving mW from having to see it. I don’t care how valid ur post is if its not popular then its not popular that’s how the marketplace of ideas works.

My theory is that we going solarpunk utopian society but it’s gonna take a long period of cyberpunk dystopia to get there.
- Comment on Believing you will retire before you die now requires the same faith as believing in heaven 4 weeks ago:
Wealth insulates you from everyone else’s idiotic behaviour. But ur right I need to take care to insulate from other people stupid behaviour better. No single points of failure and make everyone disposable. I’ll keep that in mind moving forward.
- Comment on Mother recounts her terror as her 5-year-old was taken by ICE 4 weeks ago:
Bro they have video footage to back it up. If u believe the footage is faked u might as well believe they faked the moon landing.

Nar I’ll be fine. Just need enough money to buy food and the market will bounce back eventually. And if that failed then I’d have great fun in the apocalypse
- Comment on Believing you will retire before you die now requires the same faith as believing in heaven 4 weeks ago:
Yep. Diversify the fuck out of everything and no single point of failure can undo you.
- Comment on Believing you will retire before you die now requires the same faith as believing in heaven 4 weeks ago:
Ohh no everyone else is fucked. I’m just privalleged as shit with the cards stacked in my favour. Good luck out there I’ll give u a wave from my ivory tower.
- Comment on Believing you will retire before you die now requires the same faith as believing in heaven 4 weeks ago:
Ur absolutely right
- Comment on Believing you will retire before you die now requires the same faith as believing in heaven 5 weeks ago:
I don’t need to believe I know. I put in the work I got the qualifications. And as long as I don’t do anything stupid it is impossible for me to fail.
- Comment on Mother recounts her terror as her 5-year-old was taken by ICE 5 weeks ago:
Just some context for everyone. The father ran away abandoning the child. Ice then took the child to the families door who refused to open said door and take said child as they where worried the agents would arrest the illegal immigrants in their house. Ice agents then took care of the kid and even bought the kid food. This is misinformation and purposeful abandon of context for the purposes of presenting propaganda for a narrative.
