Op “wax on,” yours “wax off.”

The ”I work so much I don‘t have time for personal care except to inject T and go to the gym“ haircut.

Two things happen when we centralize. Doesn’t matter if it’s big business or infrastructure.

1. Profits go up for the controlling few

2. consumers get fucked.

We get fucked when things go wrong, the system fails, our data gets hacked, our power goes out, our rents go up, insurance rates go up… etc etc. MegaCorps all say sorry, give us 50¢ off our next purchase and a free credit check, and carry on while we eat the losses and increasing costs.

Every other version of windows flops or sucks. 98 SE, good. 2k/ME, No. XP, great. Vista,no. 7, great. 8, No.

10…probably the last good Windows unless M$oft unfucks itself and makes 12 good. But I doubt it.

Sue the fuck out of the kid that made the deepfake. I’m sure any good law firm could deliver some emotional distress, defamation, whatever. Maybe she’d get community service at 13 if charged, but creating a wreckage of the school district and the kid that did it would send a message. Worst thing is that the taxpayer would be on the hook to pay for any compensation, not the shitty people at the district choosing to punish her.

Multiple unnecessary lights, like 6 a side. It’s a spider truck!

Odd fender artifacts

Yeah, it‘s AI.

And they get mad when you tell them humans are, too.

Yeah. Don’t even know what to add to that. Maybe some boomer culture as well, how they had whatever issues that the modern generation doesn’t have and point that out as some kind of hardship while simultaneously being likely to have had the most stable career, technological, and economic progress of any generation in history.

Castro didn’t care about private property? I very much disagree, and think that argument is more than a little suspect. If someone tried to take his property he’d likely have reacted poorly.

NASA is funny. They are always searching for signs of life, past or present, on planets in our system when they can send a lander of some sort. But, if there is a spot where there actually might be a chance of life existing, they avoid it because of the minuscule chance of some bacteria on any rover contaminating the area.

We’ll look for signs of life where it’s hard to find and avoid the areas where there might be a better chance of it.

Brutha I didn’t change the subject and argue points my opponent wasn’t trying to make in order to make myself right about something. You are literally an example of what I was talking about.

Argument by hyperbole.

Trying an argumentative fallacy yourself? A little red herring or straw manning? Nobody said anything about a classroom.

In no way did I suggest the opponent should know what fallacy they are using or that there are rules for the rabble online, the fallacies are mentioned so that you, the reader, would know what people do in an argument that make it not worthwhile, and that the opponent is using them to avoid conceding anything.

One can also infer that using those techniques, even unknowingly, are still common bullshit arguments by an opponent that isn’t discussing in good faith when presented with objective facts. Again, why it’s a lost cause to argue online.

99% of all arguments on the internet. Someone is almost always going to engage in some kind of pedantry, butwhatabout, technicality, argumentative fallacy, etc. to try to make themselves right and/or imply the OP was wrong in some way. They are not open to having their mind changed. Especially when it comes to politics, and there’s essentially no hope for religion at all. This generally applies to IRL discussions, too. At least the internet argument you can just walk away, block, or unsubscribe to any replies to the thread.

In the same vein…expecting anyone to change. People have to change themselves, and it’s not up to you. You can’t make it happen except maybe in the most extreme situations, and even then it might be iffy.

And I hate to say it, apologizing on the internet. Once the downvote train starts and shitting on the offender’s posts there’s almost no way out and any apology isn’t worth the effort. I find this kinda hypocritical seeing as there are numerous internet posts about the value of admitting you don’t know something or might have it wrong, and how we shouldn’t shame people for admitting that, yet if someone screws up and apologizes they’re usually hosed. Just reinforces not apologizing.

What’s original about most popular songs. They’re usually lyrically simple with a catchy beat and chorus. Something AI would easily be good at and it could churn out mediocre music easily, and a catchy popular tune wouldn’t be too difficult with interation. Country is no exception.

Ah, had to scroll too far to find this one. It should be higher. The production quality and special effects are absolutely stunning for the era. The scenes where they’re walking around in Morbius’ giant machine are awesome. Blows my mind, underrated.

Nice job of building tension with the invisible monster. It’s also a solid movie despite the trope of “military men out on a lark fighting monsters, plus a hot chick.”

FX…omg haven’t thought of that movie in forever. Gotta do a rewatch.

How old is this? Gotta be at least boomer humor, but I’ve seen this since I was a kid.

Seconded. It’s like watching Harrison Ford totter and groan through the later Indiana Jones films. I love the franchise, but the guy was tool old for the action. Hollywood hasn’t had an original thought in 20 years, and shoehorning old actors into reprisals of old roles isn’t great. Only one that was halfway decent recently was Top Gun, but even that was not much more than a ripoff of the Star Wars Trench Run.

Or “windows sucks, yay linux!“
