While true, people still want to talk about shared experiences, and this is one of them.

It’s one damn thing after another.
- Comment on An 18-year-old woman in Queensland faces two years in jail for wearing a shirt that says "from the river to the sea." 1 day ago:
In America, we have this thing called “Freedom of Speech”, so this could never happen here.
Right?
Oh my god.

Now, now, children.
- Comment on This Fall, Florida Students Will Be Forced to Take “Anti-Communist” Classes 1 day ago:
“Why do I have to go to school, if when I come home you tell me everything they’re saying is bullshit!?”
- Comment on Put the shoes on 1 day ago:
If you haven’t done this before, there’s no time like the present. Also, go outside in your front yard. That pretty much maximizes the effect.
- Comment on Put the shoes on 1 day ago:
With socks. Otherwise, you’re focused on the weird feeling of wearing shoes without socks.
- Comment on Waffle House: Pull up then. 😐 1 day ago:
A few years back, I had a GF from South Carolina. We have one Waffle House here where I live, but it’s a half-hour drive away so I’d never been. She insisted we go, and now I fucking love Waffle House. It’s like a full step back in time, and one step to the left. I think the employees must need to audition for the job, like a movie or TV show.
- Comment on Waffle House: Pull up then. 😐 1 day ago:
I just woke up, and I know this is the best thing I’ll see all day.
- Comment on ...🤔... 1 day ago:
Fucking hell, you’re right!
I mean, I’ve never used an AI chatbot, and even I know you’re right.
- Comment on After outages, Amazon to make senior engineers sign off on AI-assisted changes 1 day ago:
Couldn’t they, I don’t know, just go back to people writing the code, and stop using AI to do something it clearly can’t handle? Just an idea.
I guess they’ve invested (thrown) so much money at this thing, they’re determined to make it work. Also, I know they’ve gone into insanely deep debt and if it doesn’t work they’re going to lose an eye watering amount of money, and perhaps the bubble bursting will be the catalyst to bringing down the entire world economy.
Oh, so yeah, they do have great incentive to make this work, but I don’t see it happening. As usual, they fuck up and the rest of us pay the bill. None of the billionaires will suffer any more than loss of face over this. Even if they’ve broken laws, all they ever get is a small fine and a slap on the back, “Better luck, next time, ol’ boy!”
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable 1 day ago:
I’ll check out Nebula if YouTube gets to the point where I can’t avoid ads. But, till then, I won’t pay for what I can get free, simple as. If it comes to it, and most of the producers are there that I want to see, I will pay, whereas I won’t knowingly give Google one cent. I expect, though, if Nebula gets popular enough, they too will start with ads.
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable 1 day ago:
I only watch for shows not anywhere else. For instance, Tested, Perkins Brothers, Sabine, Louis Rossman, TechMoan, Just have a think, William Spaniel, etc.
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable 1 day ago:
For everyone saying they’ll leave YT, Google knows there are nine that won’t, so they’ll keep pushing till they hit the wall where this becomes unprofitable for them.
Personally, if it ever gets to the point that I can’t avoid ads on YouTube, I will stop watching, except for the occasional tutorial that I can’t find an alternative for–so maybe, a couple of times a year.
- Comment on ‘Smart underwear’ measures how often humans fart 1 day ago:
It doesn’t need to be too smart, even my dog knows when I fart.
- Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own 1 day ago:
Because Valve has money.
- Comment on spoopy figs 2 days ago:
The only way to get food that doesn’t contain bugs and rat shit is to grow it indoors, in virtually hermetically sealed rooms.
Also, the more processed your food, the more material you don’t want it contains. Which is why I’m surprised that so many vegans are on the fake meat bandwagon. The fact that they eat so much processed food clearly shows the claim that they’re doing it for health is poorly thought out.
- Comment on New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level 2 days ago:
“Child advocacy groups”, funded by billionaires.
If you can’t see it, you need to peel back a few more layers.
- Comment on YSK you can fold fitted sheets neatly (guide by ratfactor) 3 days ago:
Wait. You guys fold your sheets?
- Comment on Online age-verification tools spread across U.S. for child safety, but adults are being surveilled 3 days ago:
Probably most of the same people who believe ICE is only rounding up “illegals”.
- Comment on Do RICH people of color ever get harassed by ICE? 3 days ago:
They’re clearly using “illegal immigrants” as cover for imprisoning and deporting as many non-whites as they can. It’s an excuse by white supremacist nazis to start a new “final solution”. They’re currently building new concentration camps.
- Comment on i have a fantasy of marrying a divorced dad and being the young cool stepmom 4 days ago:
Sixty is about right. I’m sixty, it still happens, but not the young part anymore.
- Comment on The perception of the passage of time can be very different depending on which side of the bathroom door you're on. 4 days ago:
Just ask my cat.
- Comment on New York considers bill that would ban chatbots from giving legal, medical advice 5 days ago:
Sounds like a start. More is needed though.
The bill targets AI chatbots that impersonate licensed professionals — such as doctors and lawyers — and bars them from providing “substantive response, information, or advice” that would violate professional licensing laws or constitute the unauthorized practice of law.
It also mandates that chatbot owners provide “clear, conspicuous, and explicit” notice to users that they are interacting with an AI system, with the notice displayed in the same language as the chatbot and in a readable font size. However, the bill clarifies that this notice for users, which indicates that they are interacting with a non-human system does, not absolve the chatbot owners of liability.
- Comment on Scientists create 3D images of ant morphology with particle accelerator that captured high-resolution images of internal anatomy in seconds; the library, spanning 792 species, may inform robot design 5 days ago:
I’m far less interested in any of this after the realization that the ONLY reason any of this happens is to find a way to monetize it for further enrichment of the already filthy rich.
- Comment on It's all SO simple! 6 days ago:
Do you think that’s something you’ll be able to keep doing for the long term? Or, do you expect that you’ll put the weight back on when you inevitably give up and start eating more?
- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 1 week ago:
Is it right every time?
- Comment on Google's AI Sent an Armed Man to Steal a Robot Body for It to Inhabit, Then Encouraged Him to Kill Himself, Lawsuit Alleges. Google said in response that "unfortunately AI models are not perfect." 1 week ago:
The fact that AI is “not perfect” is a HUGE FUCKING PROBLEM. Idiots across the world, and people who we’d expect to know better, are making monumental decisions based on AI that isn’t perfect, and routinely “hallucinates”. We all know this.
Every time I think I’ve seen the lowest depths of mass stupidity, humanity goes lower.
- Comment on Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it? 1 week ago:
Because the filthy rich don’t care if anyone dies.
