Super Intelligence, as opposed to Super Trump Intelligence.

Bigotry.

IRC one of the mods of /r/canada was outed as a white nationalist several years ago. This kind of thing is incredibly common on reddit in plenty of the bigger subreddits.

The mods are pushing a narrative, the place is flooded with bot posts and comments, and invariably it’s pushing a narrative.

Question: would running stuff like this in sandboxie, with internet disabled, prevent these issues?

The problem is that social media algorithms thrive on engagement, and the fastest way to further that engagement is hate. Spending all day on the internet banging on about various fashionable causes, may make give a temporary endorphin boost, but does it actually change much except social media corps’ profit margins?

OP has posted a reminder to not watch Harry Potter in a small internet forum for internet piracy. Will this affect JKR’s support of anti-trans groups in any discernible way?

If you want to change the world, it’s arguably better to get off the internet, and spend time in your community making real tangible changes. If you spend too much time on the internet, it’s likely you’ll forsake the former. There are only so many hours in the day.

It’s fundamentally not that different to replacing real social interaction, with ersatz social interaction on social media.

e: To be clear, this comment won’t actually change anything either. I am just filling time.

Sometimes I confuse this grifter with the other one, the brother of the tradwife influencer with big breasts.

I know they tried to make this guy into a Horst Wessel, but I wouldn’t be surprised if most people don’t even remember who this guy was five years from now.

You almost certainly have heard his music. It’s played almost everywhere. Billions of listens.

A shopping mall, buying groceries, a waiting room, a lift, as hold music when you’re calling your insurance, at an office, …

You probably didn’t even notice it playing in the background because it was so bland.

I think that’s unfair. I don’t think it’s interesting enough to suck. It’s background music. At least, I think it is, I’m having trouble remembering any of it.

I know people like to hate AI, but it does have its uses.

Rear ports? Why bother?

Simply pop it on their desk and let them plug it in themselves when they’re bored/curious.

Pop it on a usb stick and leave it on their desk. You could google how to make it autorun, but you likely won’t have to bother.

Ubisoft is in serious trouble.

TBH I wouldn’t be surprised if they started including a bitcoin miner in their games and filming customers 24/7 so they can sell the footage.

Run it on a rival colleague’s PC.

Bit of a tangent, but has anyone noticed AI is getting worse?

I use it for cvs and the like, because most companies also use AI to filter, but I’ve noticed it makes more mistakes than it did not even that long ago.

Stupid question, but why can’t your friend not just run it in sandboxie with internet locked down?

No noticeable performance drain, can’t cause too much damage.

Or isn’t this enough?

Idk Americans can be a bit puritanical and weird about stuff. A lot of them never remove their christian brainworms.

Given incest is incredibly popular on all the tube sites, the lady doth protest too much, methinks. Same goes for Americans claiming they’re not attracted to 20 year olds at the ripe old age of 30, but also transphobia and homophobia. A short summary of their browsing history would probably be illuminating.

Once again, sorry for being so strict, most people probably wouldn’t notice. You’re already dressing far smarter than most.

On a related note, a male fashion PSA: if you go on a site like vinted, it’s still possible to find cheap second-hand clothes for men. Unlike women, most men dress like slobs and being fashionable matters less. Simply google posh but non-fashionable brands no one’s ever heard of, and buy yourself high quality clothes with a 95% discount.

Do you want advice?

The tie pin appears to be off centre, the pin at the top of the tie is too much, the waist coat needs to be cleaned, your sleeves appear to be too long, the watch chain is IMHO too long and appears to be pulling the top button off centre, whatever you’re using to attach it to the bottom button is ugly, and unless you’re left-handed your pocket-watch should be in the left pocket so your dominant hand remains free while you’re looking at your watch.

These are niggles, but IME formal wear is less forgiving. Not a bad look though.

While complaining that the reason no one’s helping is because we’re all to busy helping the <insert marginalised group epithet>

It should also be noted that choosing not to choose, is also a choice, and not necessarily the lesser evil.

In other words, just because you didn’t choose for one of two poor options, doesn’t mean you didn’t make a choice for a third option you believe to be a lesser evil.
