Man, if you wanted to destroy the entire American tech sector it seems like dumping everything into a red herring product that won’t ever be more than a parlor trick would be a really good way to do it.

- Comment on I get junk mail from T-Mobile & Verizon offering services that when I call them they say my address is not available for service. Both offer those services to my neighbors. How do I deal with this ? 1 week ago:
I wonder if you could take all of that mail and just dump it into a post box somewhere else and if they would generate additional postage billing when they delivered them back to your house.

Weird to think that there is some percentage of this world that still goes to BestBuy, GameStop, and watches ads on TV and that its big enough to be worth marketing to.

Yep, and now you know why all the tech companies suddenly became VERY politically active. This future isn’t compatible with democracy. Once these companies no longer provide employment their benefit to society becomes a big fat question mark.

It’s a more inclusive term because “child predator” and “child rapist” all require since verifiable action on the person’s part. It’s a person who is sexually attracted to children and just looks at like AI generated CSM not audio a pedophile, despite not actually directly harming children?
- Comment on Games you played inside video games. 2 weeks ago:
We used to play a “serial killer” game in Red Dead Redemption. The goal is to kidnap a woman without getting seen by anyone. Its actually a lot harder than you would think because female NPCs are RARELY unescorted in the game. It opens up an element of planning and stealth that you (or at least I) don’t usually use in that game.
- Comment on Why do cops and soldiers get more media attention than the average citizen? 2 weeks ago:
