• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers say Israeli government likely behind AI-generated disinfo campaign in Iran⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Since when has the US actively sought to permanently occupy land it was interested in? It hasn’t engaged in that type of colonial aggression since its own conquest of North America. In that, it has many similarities with Israel…but that was hundreds of years ago.

  Right now, Russia and Israel are both playing the exact same game, using the exact same methods, with the exact same goals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers say Israeli government likely behind AI-generated disinfo campaign in Iran⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s getting harder and harder to tell the difference between Israel and Russia. They’re using the same tactics, for the same reasons. Destabilisation, invasion, and occupation.

  This is exactly why people stopped using cable television services, in favor of streaming. It seems we need another transition away from commercials, once again.

  So…thought police?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Star Trek Discovery that bad?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I really liked parts of it…from themes to characters…but found it really hard to sit through, most of the time. They had a really annoying way of rehashing everything that happened, after-the-fact…as if we needed to be constantly reminded about details that were literally from ten minutes ago.

  It reminded me of the dialogue formats used in cheesy Mexican telenovelas. You can’t mention someone’s name, without also including a brief description of who they are related to, and what they’ve previously done. No one talks like that in real life. Especially when the person you’re talking to, was right there with you when that event took place.

  If you remove all the superfluous dialogue, then the actual length of each episode, was less than 20 minutes.

  The culture war outrage keeps people from thinking about real problems. Instead, they’re perpetually angry about shit that has literally zero impact on their lives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots, Researchers Say⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The entire modern “conservative movement” is completely astroturfed. It’s all funded and sponsored by the elites, in order to convince people to reject policies intended to improve their own lives, in favor of policies that exclusively benefit the elites.

  But, none of this is going to lead to higher prices. Apparently. /s

  There’s no such thing as “slowly” when it comes to that much mass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. This is exactly where the word “woke” comes from. Now that you are, there is no going back. You can either live with your rage, or do something to fix the problem. It’s up to you.

  If you want to know who to trust, look for the ones that are trying to help others, and help them.

  I feel bad for her. I can’t imagine being stupid enough to believe that you can hang around with people like this, and not get treated like garbage. They are literally living examples of the kind of shit they spew online…and yet somehow, these girls still don’t see them for who they are, until it’s too late.

  So…obstruction of justice on an international level? Totally something innocent countries do.

  Fuckin’ lightweights.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump floats pulling licenses if networks are 'against' him after Jimmy Kimmel suspended⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You know that every time he beats an attempt to impeach him, it just gives his base more faith in his ability to dodge bullets, right? They see it as a sign that the charges against him were bogus. Otherwise, it would have worked, right? He basically said as much on the campaign trail, and his followers are it up. It reinforces the “hoax” narrative that he likes to hide behind.

  So, why would Democrats keep giving him wins like that, when they know that’s all that’s going to happen?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because you’re not as likely to play games with him, the way younger girls might. Emotional maturity is a very attractive thing, if you’re looking for something stable that doesn’t include a lot of unnecessary drama. It’s hard to find that when you’re in your 20’s.

  Most girls you get together with at that age, haven’t even figured out what they want yet. You might get attached, just in time for her to decide she needs something you don’t have. By the time you’re in your 40’s, you pretty much know what you want and what you don’t. There’s a lot less confusion and guesswork going on…and that can be very reassuring.

  In the end, it really depends on what you want from him, though. If he makes you happy, fuckin’ go for it. At the very least, you have some fun. Don’t deny yourself the opportunity, just because of his age. There are plenty of real red flags to look out for, without also adding arbitrary rules to the list.

  Wouldn’t matter. Republicans have a majority in both Houses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the difference between pansexual, bisexual, and omnisexual? How do I know which one I am?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone I’ve ever met, has their own personal definitions for the distinctions between these terms. As far as I’m concerned, that makes them all somewhat interchangeable.

  Sexuality is a spectrum. Where you fit on that spectrum is as unique as you are, as a person. So, go ahead and choose whatever label you prefer, to describe your position on it. Hell…go ahead and make up your own word for yourself, if that feels like the best way to describe yourself. There are no wrong answers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UN experts say US strike on vessel violated right to life⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The experts urged the US to conduct a full, independent investigation into the killings.

  Any investigation will show that these murders were authorised by the president himself. So…now what?

  I’m still a little amazed Twitter hasn’t devolved into just another Truth Social, at this point. Why is anyone even still using it, outside of Elon’s muskrats?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨everyone talks about chip bags being 50% wasted space but no one talks about creamed corn cans being 50% wasted space⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have personally never opened a can of creamed corn, so this whole post is new information for me. The chips thing though…that was solved decades ago. Not sure why the confusion persists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨everyone talks about chip bags being 50% wasted space but no one talks about creamed corn cans being 50% wasted space⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Chip bags have all that air in them, so the chips don’t get crushed as easily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the whole wrap up of Batel’s storyline was pretty stupid, NGL.

  I don’t understand why they didn’t just go with the moral dilemma of having to choose between her life or the possibly dozens of baby Gorn that were growing inside her.

  I mean, if you want to have a heart-wrenching example of how far Star Fleet is willing to go, in the name of peace and the preservation of innocent lives…leaving Batel to choose whether or not to sacrifice herself, in exchange for them…as well as the prospect of continued peace between the Federation and the Gorn? Wow. Now, that would have been a powerful display of compassion and benevolence.

  None of this “Universal Star-child” bullshit. Just a good old fashioned moral dilemma, about the needs of the many, outweighing the needs of the few.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reality Is Ruining the Humanoid Robot Hype: The obstacles to scaling up humanoids that nobody is talking about⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think you’re arguing in good faith,at this point. You send me an article about a specific humanoid robot, claiming it costs $8k. That article clearly states the make and model, as well as provides pictures of the unit in question. It is the Pudu D9 humanoid robot.

  So, I sent you the website where it is being sold, which clearly states a price, that doesn’t match your claim…and now all of a sudden, you don’t even know what robot you were talking about before?

  Give me a break, man.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reality Is Ruining the Humanoid Robot Hype: The obstacles to scaling up humanoids that nobody is talking about⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Buddy, it’s right there on the page I linked. Even your article says they’re hoping to get the price down to under $30k, at some point. That’s why I looked up their website directly, to see how much they’re currently selling them for. It’s $214k. I don’t know what else to tell you.

  Were you not able to open the link to their website? You can buy one today for $214k. It’s the D9 model from your article.
