They should have just asked me. I knew that would be the result years ago. Writing has been on the screaming wall of faces while the faces also screamed it.

Now these are the AI headlines I dreamed of so many years ago

Sure but those links to sketchy .apk games of which the ad for them involves rape or kidnapping usually are a-okay

Any medieval city builder that has transport networks I usually have my central hubs looking like I modeled them after a methed up Spidermans jizz after giving webslinging from his dick a try.

It starts just like this comic tho

Literally never watched a second of fox news in my life but ok. I was just sarcastically grasping at straws cause that’s what you did. There are measurable impacts on society caused by social media but if you wanna ignore that go ahead.

Sure but after phones and TV we raised gays, disabled, and the mentally ill out of the mud, transformed nations, inspired by inclusive initiatives humanity went through 50 years of progress.

After 20 years of social media we’ve full regressed to 1938. I think if you look around, there is some pretty obvious proof, society’s critical thinking has been intentionally dismantled by these social media algorithms and the bad actors that manipulate facts around them.

It does yea ue5 has been a bit sludge. Rivals is really the first one I’ve played that’s nice

I’m in the camp that thinks in 25 years there will be some regretful studies about how attention span demolishing apps like TikTok and yt shorts fucked civilizations progress for the next 150 years. I’d agree with you if I only cared about my lifespan and what happens inside of it. Some people want to see progress across the centuries even if we don’t get to live it. TikTok is a sign of regression, whether there is good content or not.

I totally see your point and agree with your path! I just wanted to point out that the core amount is more debilitating now than it might have been a few years ago. My 9700k can run battlefront 2 or bf1 and 144hz locked. It’s just since 2021 spec requirements on the cpu side have spiked since they more than doubled the cores and threads across the board. It’s completely silly that bf2042 looks worse than bf5 in a lot of situations but has my cpu crying for death lol.

Cpu limited stuttering is way worse than gpu too. Marvel rivals I’m pulling 80-90fps in fights which is honestly impressive, the issue being it feels like total shit because it is the cpu that is redlining.

If you run into the same issue, you can use process Explorer to keep your cpu under 97%, which makes it feel much better

I’m a winter window down driver too. Drives my passengers nuts even though I have the heat cranked lol

Just so you do know helldivers will be bottlenecked on the cpu with any reasonable gpu upgrade so don’t worry too hard about unbalancing it a bit more if you wanted to go for a 4060ti instead. You’re getting a nice upgrade but the 9600k is still only 6 cores just keep in mind. Modern stuff is going to be tough. This year’s games are kicking my own 9700k ass at 1440p.

I have a 4070ti and it’s chilling at like 60% much of the time on games like helldivers or marvel rivals so when I do upgrade it’ll be massive. I can play games from 2018 at a bajillion fames though. Just wanted to give you my acedotal for your brain pocket.

My stoned ass was a prophet in the back of a Chevy Cavalier. My history teacher was pretty adamant about the importance of the field but tried to make it as interesting as possible. Even just watching hotel Rwanda spurred a week of curiosity and lessons

Yea they did maple 2 and it flopped so they kinda fell back on the first and did a bunch of reboot and power level stuff to draw back the old v62 v83 crowd

It’s simple. If your rights infringe on my rights, and there is no way for me to avoid the “you”, whatever it may be at the moment, it should be regulated.

Go ahead and hate gays, but on a multicultural/multi-national platform that over a 3rd of the population use, you shouldn’t be allowed to project that because it makes gay people feel unsafe. It infringes on their humanity.

Just because a group is immune to the intricacies of this, re: straight and white, shouldn’t be a license for them to say and do whatever they want.

Try a group of gay people against straights, see how long that group lasts. Why the double meaning

Those arguing objective facts when the point is clear tend to argue from a position of bad faith, and should be ignored. Hence the critical thinking.

Look at what those who are denying genocide in this example have to gain from such a claim. If it’s much, those individuals have a vested interest in denying the truth and as such, should no longer be allowed a seat at the table.

There is plenty across history that defines a genocide. Leaders arguing there aren’t exact parallels this time around, makes them despot. Complicit is too kind a word.

Copilot can fuck off

I find the adblock yt prompt only shows now when I try to open two tabs of YouTube. Second tab has this message but the first plays fine. I think ublock probably deployed a half fix already

Much of that is just bots and if you spend any measurable time on the internet you start to ignore stuff with variable capital letter words and emoji spam so it’s not outside of the realm of possibility that the person you’re responding to, doesn’t see that stuff. I don’t really either. My brain auto filters paragraphs of anti woke/racist rhetoric like pop-up ads.

Except they’ll jack prices anyway then if the tariffs don’t stick they will say it was a precautionary cushion against potential tariffs while collecting the profits.

I mean isn’t this what we want? The data is Public. It’s already being done behind closed doors. I’d rather this transparency. Especially because there’s such a large % of the population tuned out to how large companies with 8-10 figure r&d departments focused on marketing psychology manage to control them.

Even as aware as I think I am I’m certain there are 10s of thousands of strategies being employed that take advantage of my “immunity”. At least with FOSS and public records steming from that, the average Joe gets a peak behind the curtain and sees what is possible.

I had a conversation recently about mcdonalds app surge pricing and they never heard about surge pricing which is totally fine but they fought me on the premise “there’s no way they can do that” on technical feasibility to just “no one would do that”. I’m not sure what they were defending but I digress. My biphenton has kicked in and I should stop typing right n
