I mean, someone has to work. How do you choose who the unlucky bastards are that get sent to the field to grow food for the people who don’t have to work?

How unique do passwords have to be in order to be considered safe? If they follow a pattern are they still safe or do these bots try alterations to the leaked passwords as well?
Like if your password to Reddit was reddit1234 and your password to Google was google1234, if the Reddit password leaked is your Google one still okay?
Probably not if it’s a human but bots shouldn’t be able to figure that out ya?

No, just pull yourself up by your bootstraps and make a get a few million. It’s easy, ask your parents for a loan or something.

You first need to have more than $1 million dollars in order to qualify for free money.

He isn’t, the economy and business is all a rigged sham.
- Comment on The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops 5 days ago:
I just phoned a business today that ended up with an “AI receptionist” when they didn’t answer the phone.
They wanted to take my name down, asked who I was leaving a message for, and then recorded the message…
My god what a painful process that was. It was absolutely useless. Firstly it got my name wrong, and then the name of the person I was leaving the message for wrong. No “Janet” my name is not Don it’s John, and no I’m not leaving a message for Kim Its for Kam. And then it needs to repeat your entire message back to you in order to make sure it didn’t fuck it up which amazingly the message was probably 95% okay but it was a giant waste of my time when a FUCKIN VOICEMAIL WOULD HAVE SUFFICED
- Comment on ICE's 'Frightening' Facial Recognition App is Scanning US Citizens Without Their Consent 1 week ago:
Is it illegal to have a facemask? People should start carrying around ski masks in their vehicles in case ICE approaches them. If they claim it’s illegal then why the fuck is ICE wearing them?

Except now the labour is hidden in a corporate warehouse and you can’t see the abuse.

Why do they even need musk? It’s not like he is lead engineer or chief of design.

Yeah I was more thinking the mouse be free plus any replacements in the future.
Then you would break even after about 5 years ($60)
- Comment on Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber wants an AI agent in every board meeting 3 weeks ago:
Honestly I wouldn’t mind if a company charged like, $1/month or something reasonable like that but for some reason some asshole made it standard practice to charge $10-$15/month for literally anything and now everyone uses that as the starting point for their “services”
- Comment on I love stardew valley. looking for an alternative that is made for controller experience. 3 weeks ago:
There a free to play online game called Palia that’s pretty chill.
Not as farm intensive as stardew, but you do have a few plots to grow crops and you can refine them into jams and pickled goods, etc.
Can also cook your food into meals, give gifts to villagers to build up relationships, and each villager has a story and background to learn.
There is also mining, tree felling, plant foraging, animal hunting, fishing, etc.
It’s a first person 3D world, and I haven’t tried it with controller but I imagine it would be fine.
It’s very chill, there is pretty much no negatives for any action or inaction that you take.
Main storyline quests are not too bad either, there is a story to the world that develops as well.
- Comment on A young woman was sexually assaulted while out DoorDashing. Two days after she reported the assault to DoorDash, they deactivated her account and she can't access the money she's owed. 3 weeks ago:
It does sound like drunk behaviour. Or maybe even old person behaviour.
- Comment on Mary E. Brunkow, one of this year's Nobel Prize winners in Medicine, has only 34 published papers and an H-index of 21. 4 weeks ago:
Honestly if I see someone who publishes like 200+ papers I would just be wondering… What the hell did they contribute? They’re churning shit out the door so either they weren’t involved much and did the bare minimum to put their name on the paper or it was mostly inconsequential and non-impressive shit that you could churn out in a few weeks.
- Comment on Excel's AI: 20% of the time, it works every time 5 weeks ago:
Only when people use the wrong input, garbage in and Grange out.
In the same vein I can’t think of any instance where exactly had calculated things wrong unless there was a fault in the formula that I made.

Goldilocks zone is basically just where life can survive.
Even if we stay within the Goldilocks zone doesn’t mean that most of the species alive today won’t go extinct because it fucks up the seasons or the magnetic poles or tilt of the earth, etc.
- Comment on Uh oh lol 1 month ago:
I think there’s maybe more risk with the solar system being thrown off balance with other gravitational forces pulling things out of orbit. Even if earth just gets pulled away from the sun a little we are screwed. Or even the moon pulled away from earth somewhat.

That’s a real winter where it’s enjoyable
I have lived in areas where it’s -30 to -35 and 12+ inches of snow on the ground from November to may. Personally I did quite like it as well but it’s not to everyone’s taste. The first scenario I described is where I think the most people would enjoy it.
- Comment on arriving 1 month ago:
I love winter when it’s a real winter. I think most people who hate winter live in an area where they only get half winters.
When each day is generally -5 to -10 degrees celsius, and you have a constant layer of snow around everywhere for a solid 2-3 months, is when winter is my favourite season of the year
But when you have an average temperature of -1 degrees to 5 degrees, and you get random flurries on snow that melt and freeze constantly, then occasional freezing rain and hail, that’s when winter sucks.
- Comment on arriving 1 month ago:
Autumn is better than spring.
Spring has too much melting snow from winter and hasn’t warmed up enough, so it’s always cold and damp.
In autumn the ground is still bone dry from the what of the summer, so even when it rains it just soaks into the ground and you’re good. Then the heat of the summer is still around as it slowly cools into winter, so you still get warm days and cool nights.

Sure, someone just got shot and the crowd is panicking and trying to escape.
Let’s just stand here in the middle of the exit and fill a video, blocking everyone’s way out! Absolutely brilliant.

- Comment on I wish there was a system to verify that a webpage was written by an actual human before showing me it 1 month ago:
It’s getting ridiculous. The internet is ruined.
Search for something simple like how to change a tire and you get a 10 page article starting with “Firstly, what is a tire? Well…”
- Comment on Aged like milk 1 month ago:
Americas entire culture around guns needs to change, not just a little bit more training and education.
People who misuse guns don’t respect them or the power they yield. They views them as toys, and more often than not fuck around and find out.
Teaching them how to lock a gun up and telling them it’s important won’t change behaviours until people start to respect guns and fear them. Not casually pose with them for Christmas cards with their grandbaby in the room.

It’s not that you can’t make it through the denizens, making it through the denizens is usually easy. It’s just a waste of time for the most part.
