- Comment on WHO officials admit they are preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran 2 weeks ago:
for sure. they are so much worse. trump was born in 1946. his parents were “around” for the first bombs. i’m trying to say it was not long ago. Heck I’m 46. A lot has happened in 46 years. But my dob is closer to the US nuking two cities to try and scare russia than it is to my age now…
- Comment on WHO officials admit they are preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran 2 weeks ago:
stop thinking like that. ww2 was recent; there are folks still alive suffering from it. on a “national age scale” 80 years is nothing.
the US pivoted so hard to make the war make a lot of profit for a lot of people / businesses who are still operating today. it was a capitalist dream, here in the states.
- Comment on WHO officials admit they are preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran 2 weeks ago:
the US has used them before…
- Comment on WHO officials admit they are preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran 2 weeks ago:
by the US. the only country to have ever used them before too.

- Comment on Barely working 4 weeks ago:
wish i could. am a firefighter and kind of enjoy that vs being out of service. but also even weed gummies will make me have a panic attack. ever since say …25 i havent been able to get high. so odd.
- Comment on Barely working 4 weeks ago:
wife’s 2017 JK just had its tranny start whining today I was driving. After driving an hour. Won’t go back into a gear. Cools down. Gets back into gear. I tow it anyway. Low fluid? Demons? Daemons?
Either way what a cluster. Wife is stuck in ATL, trying to get home. I’m stuck on side of road.
Literally things “throwing money” could solve.
I got promoted this week. Estimated +500-600 a paycheck every fortnight.
It kicks in end of April’s check.
FML.
Sorry. not a shitpost. Just a sad 46 yo failure of a man with a pissed off alcoholicly angry wife.

mine is 4906xxx. Yep. been a while.
- Comment on I'm struggling to think of any online services for which I'd be willing to verify my identity or age 4 weeks ago:
you open the acct with id. no need for the app to verify age.

fuck all govs. fuck israel separately because it’s not a real country.

makes sense! thanks for the reply.
- Comment on The jokes write themselves... 5 weeks ago:
curious - as i have only worked in the data pipeline side of research and cohort generation - is it not ok for a researcher to cite their prior work if said work is post peer review?
- Comment on Ads used to be different 💔 5 weeks ago:
take my updoot. i came here to say the same.
- Comment on Apple brings age verification to UK users in iOS 26.4 beta - Users who don’t verify their age may not be able to download or purchase apps. 5 weeks ago:
can a debit card be created by someone under 18? ie does a parent have to do it then give johnny a card? can a bodega owner sell a prepaid to a minor, and can prepaids be used?
just wondering where up the chain the responsibility lies. i’m all for corps being held to task, but also parents. if i handed my kid a phone it was my responsibility.
now he had phones that he acquired. i saw them. so i know it is largely irrelevant my thoughts on chain of concern.
in short: this is a terrible tar pit of gov horseshit sold in the “protect the kids” camp but really is “build a bigger fascist state db…”

if a phone is tied to a svc acct like a telco provider- age verification should be automatic as THAT provider cannot open an acct for a child.
- Comment on Anthropic ditches its core safety promise in the middle of an AI red line fight with the Pentagon 5 weeks ago:
here is the only line that matters: “hinder its ability to compete.”
that means “to profit.”
reminder: all corporations, everywhere and in every industry, care first about profit. everything else is about how it relates to or alters profit. literally every word is a goddamned lie, sold to help protect profit.
- Comment on ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront 1 month ago:
what seems to “smell” funny more and more lately is that I can’t tell what is a full fledged game I want to play and what is AI/Slop created to jump on a bandwagon. Rimworld. Great game. Are the “rims in space” variants real? Just reskins? Why is everything in instant early access these days?
- Comment on Humans' behavior about LLMs is the same as animals with a mirror: they believe there is "another" in there. It's just their reflexion 1 month ago:
the “mirror stage” by lacan is worth looking into here but no, I don’t think humans automatically think the llm has a sort of reified other, but as we get past an uncanny valley and into generations growing up with entire personal histories in an llm - I can absolutely see that happening.

- Comment on Yes this year is going to be really good and productive 1 month ago:
i don’t leave a job expecting a recommendation for another. so yeah. i give as much notice as i feel would be helpful to my peers. if ive been talking openly about leaving then they already know where my docs and such are.
- Comment on Modern problems require modern solutions 1 month ago:
because if it involves a profit motive it involves exploitation inherent in this motive. to apply that exploitation to a service that provides care for children would mean there is a nonzero chance the place is not prioritizing child care and safety over profit.
- Comment on Taliban says it would support Iran if US attacks 1 month ago:
I would, emotionally, too.
- Comment on Why didn't the mother just use her private doctor on her yacht? 1 month ago:
i worked also in the data transfer and reporting portion of hosp billing and can tell you, from the pov of the folks with two commas in their salaries, it’s all just bog standard heartless capitalism to them.

i find that would help with my adhd and distractions. but yeah. a good one is not there yet. thanks though!
