• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Corcoran Group CEO says Gen Z’s housing market struggles mirror what boomers faced 30 years ago: ‘Stop buying Starbucks coffee,’ she advises⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  This is literally a Starbucks ad for boomers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Build model trains.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to be a leftist, but still really enjoy capitalism?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If your friends always play Monopoly and you get dragged into it, do you refuse to have fun on principle? Or do you choose to have a blast with your friends, occasionally chuckle at the game’s shortcomings, and indulge in exploiting some of its weaknesses to ensure you come out on top? (That last one is optional and depends on you getting assigned to play the banker)

  Define “good.” I imagine it’s informative but depressing. Does he find space for optimism? For solutions?

  Take note, world leaders, of how easy it is to hit home runs right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s normal to come across words you don’t know how to pronounce in your native language. When you do, you either ask someone for the pronunciation or stumble along until someone corrects you. Names are no different and you shouldn’t be made to feel ashamed by any earnest attempt to pronounce them. Forget about the accent and focus on the specific sounds involved in the name. If you cannot form sounds that are foreign to you, the owner of the name will likely help you pronounce it in the language you’re comfortable with. They are probably used to doing this.

  Tinfoil hat time: that hand glitch video of Trump was a test, by Vance, because he knows how uncharismatic he is. These people bought into AI as their secret weapon and it’s not ready for their grand design.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The way I cackled when I read this...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Steal the name so conservatives have to rename as the Not Another Zohran Insurrection! party.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Talking to Technology Executives Like They Have Anything to Say⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not even an unwillingness to admit ignorance: it’s the lack of awareness that there’s already a conversation.

  This is the take-home point. They aren’t unaware there’s already a conversation. Their hubris compels them to believe they can answer these questions better than whatever the liberal establishment has come up with.

  Remember how Nazi Germany tried to take over the whole world? There’s only one authoritarian playbook.

  “Egghead neuroscientist grandma” feels like it would disarm me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Miss England's AI round dangerous or progressive?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The models get 0% of the proceeds for one year and then 10% after that. After interviews and photos of the models, they get around to interviewing the CEOs of the companies doing this, and there’s an unchallenged narrative about why it’s fair and not exploitative. Shame on the BBC.

  IDC; I am judging them.

  You came for the circle jerks but til this stable is full you only get horseshoe handies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So, your approach is authoritarian. Let’s just ban everything we don’t want to happen. Problem is that doesn’t ever work. Kids will learn tech better than you and will get around every wall you try to put up. Instead, parents can build trust with their kids so the kids will come to them when they inevitably see horrible stuff. You don’t have to venture to the dark corners of the web to find horrible stuff kids shouldn’t see; it’s available on any front page.

  But that’s what makes you a prophet. You picked the right quote and the right person without even knowing why.

  Gaiman carried hell and inflicted it upon those he abused.

  That’s your atheist afterlife. It’s perfectly valid of course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Checkmate Atheists!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oof. Well at least you now know you’re a prophet.
