Can’t skip the update if you don’t have any Windows installations.

I didn’t like Twitter enough to join it when it didn’t cost $20.

Boy Massie is really going scorched Earth. Has he yet apologized for his previous 16 years of being a gigantic piece of shit that actively helped cause all of this?

But being absolutely against murder doesn’t end up with other people being murdered, so it’s a terrible analogy that they are just allowed to get away with. If you stop doctors from “murdering” babies, then mothers die as a result, full stop. They don’t even argue that point, they just don’t care, so arguably, they’re no better than the murderer in their own stupid analogy.

All of this is a religious refusal to admit that biology is a nasty, difficult and ugly business and not the perfect product of their all-loving God, and it’s just plain stupid.

I hope this means that Shitter is starting to be in some trouble.

I think these guys envision remaking Earth into something like Solaria, from Asimov’s novels, a planet where something like 20,000 people live on vast estates tended to by their robotic armies. Since this means they will have to somehow conveniently get rid of 8 billion people, it’s safe to say that they have less than zero concern for whether any of their current policies have any human cost.

Their vision is really stupid because it assumes that AGI (or more appropriately, ASI) will value them as much as they value themselves and HAHAHAHAHAHA wipes tears - I have no idea what ASI would do, but it sure as fuck wouldn’t be that.

step by step…

I will not give a fuck about these stories until I can reliably feel like they a) didn’t vote for this and b) wouldn’t vote for this yet again.

None. I was never invested in it very heavily. I had one channel that I was a pretty involved member on but the whole “you don’t have to tell them how old you are, they’re going to use an algorithm and your usage patterns to deduce it,” I was just haha no, fuck that, and I quit.

Stop using Windows. Stop using Discord.

Yep. On it almost a year now, ever since 10 was EOL’d and I learned Discord was building a profile on every user based on usage.

Linux has been awesome and Discord mostly sucked anyway.

but communities and farms still use unsustainable amounts of water.

I’m so tired of hearing this load of shit. “Communities” use TWENTY PERCENT of all the water consumed in Arizona. That includes all the horrible, wasteful, golf courses everybody hates except golfers. TWENTY PERCENT.

Farms and industry use EIGHTY PERCENT of all the water used in Arizona. HALF of the resultant production from this water usage is shipped out of the country in order to generate PROFITS.

👉But I’ll give you three fucking guesses as to who is going to have water restrictions levied against them.👈

Just like Republicans always mouthing off about the welfare queens, as their orange moron doubles the national debt. They get to take it all and turn around and shit on everybody else for being the problem, as per usual.

That’s pretty low for an ambulance ride in the stupidest fucking country, tbh. Probably the actual bill after her insurance company “paid” for $3600 of it.

This is the scam of health “insurance” in America: you get a bill that’s stupid. Like “on a different planet” stupid. Your insurance colludes with the hospital to pay none of it (but tell you they did) and you get to pay the actual balance. The actual balance is also stupid, but just ordinary stupid.

Never realized they kinda look like the Recognizers from Tron.

Never ran into one in Phoenix but in Tucson, we ran into a green one on the way up Mount Lemmon. Beautiful but frightening.

Still using the wrong terminology and as long as we do, the problem will persist. The rich don’t need to pay a fair share. The upper middle class needs to pay a fair share. The rich need to be taxed out of existence. They are dangerous to civil society. Numbers should be set, ie: no individual should have any business having more than 10 million in cash and 250 million in assets, or whatever. I understand this is an oversimplification that doesn’t take into account business entities, etc - but it’s not like smart people couldn’t sit down and hash out what’s appropriate. Ultimately, beyond the limits set, you either divest and/or turn the money back to your employees/shareholders - or you will give it to the government in the form of seizures and taxation.

Until such time as something like this is undertaken, we’re just playing footsie with the problem.

Great, now do something with it.

Trump’s closest and most devoted aide

You knew she looked like his daughter before you even saw the thumbnail.

I know, right? They must have built it really solidly. Except for the whole falling down bit.

haha yes, Jesus of Nazareth and Julius Ceasar, totally the same! As one would expect of a… peasant zealot and the leader of the largest empire in the Western world. Their respective footprints in history, shit they might as well be twins!
