“Just give Putin what he wants because opposing him is morally wrong. I can say this because I’ve never worked a hard day in my life, and am unaffected by the consequences.”

Edit: Lol, I triggered the hexbear hivemind.
Bombas makes really high quality stuff that tends to last. Darn Tough socks have lifetime warranties, so they’ll replace old pairs for free.
Something this graph doesn’t include is there was way more content. Everyone put their stuff on Netflix, and it wasn’t a revolving door of awful Netflix originals.
Finance bros who run wall street are all idiots, so they designed a system where no matter how stupid they are, they’re always right. If you get a bunch of finance bros in a room and give a really good sales pitch, your valuation can triple despite nothing real actually happening.
In the case of AI, even the foremost experts are uncertain about how useful AI is. Qualified people disagree and no AI based tool has really proved itself to be robust, but it is amazing at fooling people who are either dumb or willfully ignorant, so it’s like crack cocaine to anyone who works on Wall Street.
This can only be “normalized” in the same way that gambling can be normalized. You can also write an article filled with testemonials of people who want to elaborate on the positive sides of gambling. This is an article of someone under financial strain being roped in to spending hundreds a month that she’s hiding from her husband. It’s an unhealthy addiction and should be discussed as such.
I once made fun of someone on hexbear for denying genocide. A few days later, all of my recent comments had exactly the same number of downvotes, somewhere in the ballpark of 20, all across different communities. Whichever one of those comments received the least upvotes is my personal winner.
As an added bonus, this was after hexbear disabled downvotes, so they had to either pay for bots or run bots on an instance other than hexbear to pull that off.
Edit: Looks like a tankie read this and decided the appropriate response was to go to my profile and comment unhinged replies on all my recent comments. Thanks mods for cleaning them up so quickly.
At time of writing, the top posts on this sub are about meta’s influence over politics, the enduring value of physical media, someone made an art gallery in doom, and Meta’s lack of censorship and how that affects minorities. This community is absolutely on topic discussing technology news and if you think otherwise, you are being absurd.
If you’re looking for articles about how some university claims they’ve invented a new battery 1 million times as powerful, stop diluting yourself. “Corporate shenanigans” of big tech companies IS TECHNOLOGY NEWS. Any statement to the contrary is pure hallucination about a world that never existed.
Interesting how they just casually state that they have full access to his chatgpt history. This case is a speedrun of all the ways cops can jump across ethical boundaries.
Maybe I do understand why people like Star Trek, but I just don’t like that myself?
It is (almost) always a good time to buy a house because it will (almost) always be good to own a house tomorrow.
Remember the alternative is throwing away approximately the same amount of money every month and never seeing that money again.
You and I must know the same Greg!
I feel like this should be simple to solve, just say “If anyone ever posts classified info about an in-game stat, that stat is permanently frozen at the current value forever, regardless of accuracy.”
With a rule like this, posting classified info immediately means you lose the argument, and people only do it cuz they love to argue online.
I asked myself this question a few years ago, and couldn’t remember a single gift I’ve gotten. Ever since, I’ve been very vocal that I don’t want anything, but if everyone else doing a Secret Santa, I will participate as a reasonable compromise.
NightHawkInLight is some nice DIY home experiments like traditional sparklers and homemade sapphires in a microwave.
I give up on any captcha with mor than 1 image. The problem is you aren’t letting people in, even if you are catching bots. You’ll have to turn it off to let people in.
For the record, in case anyone cared, I audibly laughed when I read 600 watts.
That law looks like it’s written so that they could arrest me for having 6 books they didn’t like. Obscene could mean anything here. It just screams “selective punishment”.
Maybe they bought fake pee on the black market to ensure they’d receive the medical care they’re already paying for.
I sincerely hope not. Fewer evil people=better.
