Jokes on you, I use AI as a search engine to wade through all the other AI generated slop. It works some of the time, unlike google which is only ads.

You’re not paying for the dirt, you’re paying for the weight of the dirt. Transportation is expensive now.

I was at a hotel up in the Alps in France that had a fire going and the staff put absolutely no effort into it so it sat there smoldering on life support. So I took a log and rearranged things boyscout style and kept that sucker going till it was too hot to get near. Everyone gave me the weirdest looks like I was some crazy American. Like nah dude, gotta keep the fire going, it’s the best part.

Sorry, but I had to record you naked because of our litigious society.

I think that people who hate math mostly just hate the way it’s taught and have mentally blocked themselves from ever trying again. I also think it’s cultural. There’s no reason so many other countries have absolutely no problem with teaching what is considered very advanced math concepts to young students while many in the US struggle to even pick up basic concepts in secondary school and college. It’s learned helplessness.

Probably why the quality of posts seems to have gone down (IMO) and the quantity of bot posts has gone way up recently too. It basically turned to shit shortly after the IPO. When I saw an add for reddit on TV I knew it’s in peak enshittify mode.

What percentage of old reddit contributes though? The 90-9-1 rule.

Which is why I don’t bother to watch the news anymore. I can go straight to the source. I read some print news and that’s about it.

By your powers combined I’m Captain Shifarteria. And I ain’t got no crystal ball.

Solid meme. And liquid and gas too.

The problem is that we have allowed them to be benevolent monopolies and now that they control practically the entire market in their respective spaces they are not so benevolent any more. Nobody cared to choose a different search engine because google just worked, nobody bought things from a different website because amazon was fast and had everything. Now google search is just a way to sell me an ad for the thing I’m looking for and Amazon is just a way to sell me an ad for the chinese manufacturer who paid them off to push their results to the top or in some cases it’s their own competing product.

Podcasts are just people bullshitting. It’s a replacement for friends or something. I don’t get it. There’s basically no content.

One of many.

The true measure is dick to floor.

Courtside at Knicks and Lakers games are just another way for celebrities to try and pay for exposure.

It’s social democratic communism.

Real communist discussion has never been tried.

Here are 5 Stalin Bucks for your contribution to the discussion.

I’m not in cryptography but it read like techno babble written mostly by AI to me. It didn’t have any real call to action or point to it that I could tell other than download this thing.

The advantage of Sodium -Ion is that it’s cheap, abundant, safe, and can cycle. It’s mainly used where large capacities are needed. So industrial, grid scale, stationary types of storage.
