I don’t hate AI. I just hate the untrustworthy rich fucks who are forcing it down everyones throats.
- Comment on US demands access to tourists' social media histories 6 days ago:
So, why then are the statistics of dead, murdered school children so much higher than anywhere else in the world? I just googled, and there are 4300 child gun deaths in US every year, about 3600 in school shootings. That’s an apalling number, and the fact you guys don’t try to restrict guns, is even more apalling imo. For general gun deaths…"The U.S. has significantly higher gun death rates than most other developed nations, ranking as an outlier among high-income countries, though lower than some Latin American nations. While the U.S. rate is substantially higher than places like Canada, Australia, and European countries, it’s lower than countries with extreme violence like El Salvador or Venezuela, but its overall firearm mortality is in the top percentiles globally. " USA has third world statistics, and while 3rd world countries do have a lot of gun violence, they have almost zero school shootings… I’m not trying to be patronising, but it sounds as if you have a somewhat sheltered existence. To the rest of the normal and decent world, guns are restricted to those who have a need, and are demonstrably sane. USA is open slather, with no public psych care available, and you guys think this is normal. YOU are the outliers, and your cowardly politicians are owned by the gun lobby, so it perpetuates. Sane people see how fucking stupid this is, even as you deflect the problem to the media, and try to minimize it. The statistics say that you are wrong, and your children are paying for it.

You should travel. It will open your eyes to the shit going on in America that apparently you Americans think is “normal”.

Liberals aren’t trying to bury those files, perverting justice, and destroying a country in the process. Jeebus but I’m starting to loathe fence sitters and “both siders” !

Two pence, or tuppence, is 2 pennies, so a pence must be one penny. A Trumpence is valueless, however.

This is doubly appropriate, because I loathe rum. I may unashamedly steal this idea, but with whisky :)

I will join the first religion that allows me to re-unite with my beloved cat, after I die. Stupid christianity tells me that my animals don’t have souls, when in fact, they are far better beings than most humans.

I would not believe a single word he, or Drumpfs police say about the matter. Most likely, he was hitting on the 15 year old girl that beat him up, which would be typical for anyone GOP.

Another company that doesn’t need to, cow-towing to the cowardly cunt in the White House. Or is it the kitsch Gold House now?

I’m 70 years old and that still hasn’t happened. Bring back the guillotine, I say. Anything less is just the price of a permit.

Because all the “slap on the wrist” fines have worked so well to modify corporate rapism… /s

I’m all for mankind colonizing the stars, but I don’t want that A hole down a K hole Elmo involved in any way. I don’t trust the cunt not to have a back door into the colony, that he opens whenever his fee fee’s get hurt, or if his K hole runs dry.
- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 5 months ago:
Same here, but do you notice how bad the algorhythm has become, at offering useful, interesting, or relevant vids…?
- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 5 months ago:
I have no issues at all, once a vid is running. Choosing a vid takes much longer these days though, because the goddam stupid fucking algorhythm serves up 95% slop these days. Already viewed vids, ones expressly blocked, “news” stories that are YEARS old, or those in weird foreign languages, make up most of the garbage I get offered…

You can skip or avoid ads on YouTube, so meh. What really grinds my gears though, is the stupid, fucking algorhythm, which routinely offers me videos I just recently watched, vids in languages that I can’t speak and channels/vids that I have specifically blocked. I curse YouTube daily, but will bless anyone who has a viable alternative…

Heh. They tried to bully me, and when I resisted, I was the one who was asked to leave the school. Gotta protect those bullies because they are part of the catholic school system…
