May as well make a new alt, you’ve already burned this one too the ground.

Gina got fired because… pronouns

Yeah imma stop you right there.

A series of posts in which she mocked the use of face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States was also cited by Lucasfilm, as well as her repeated accusations of voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election.

Because it would be illegal.

If that thought even so much as crossed Carr’s mind, why would he make any remarks at all? It costs nothing to keep his mouth shut, and it avoids any liability.

Thats why there is no legal document or order.

Committing crimes and getting away with it is a virtue to conservatives. Why won’t they create a paper trail of their crimes, man I wonder. Anyway, release the Epstein files.

celebrated

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

It’s an impressive feat to get -5000 reputation in only 4 months. Again, you gotta try to be this toxic and terminally online. Even AI can’t pump out that much hate that fast.

dopamine delivery device

I’d even go so far as to say it’s a dual-dopamine-plus-cortisol device. For as many things on the internet that give people joy, there are probably as many if not more things that make people angry. And the algorithms are very good and pressing both buttons simultaneously (the meme of a superhero sweating looking at two buttons need not apply).

I’ve been waiting for the boomer generation to stop any of what they’re doing for 30 years. I suspect they’ll still be a viable political bloc for the next 20 years. And even then, gen x and gen z will pick up right where they left off.

Don’t underestimate the stupidity and calcification of tiktok users, they’ll just stick around having never heard of the sale. They won’t even question why their feed is now a nonstop loop of Kirk clips.

So here’s the hot take I took from his video: yeah, an internet connected dishwasher is dumb, but so is a LAN connected dishwasher. “I don’t want to have to maintain my own app to run this thing, keep this thing secure,” damn straight. That little open source app is probably gonna get abandoned at some point, I don’t want to have to fork it and fix things and patch vulnerabilities. I want a strictly Dumb dishwasher.

He’d be unimaginably sad to see the world today.

Nothing lasts forever, especially on the Internet, but I’m happy to say I enjoyed kbin.social for as long as I used it.

Thanks Ernest! Good luck on your recovery and next projects!

understand that you do not need to use vacation hours for statutory holidays

Our HR software already accounts for federal holidays. When you put in the request for time off, you give it a start and end date on a calendar control, and it calculates the number of hours you plan to use, working around holidays, weekends, even existing PTO requests.

I’m not saying you should buy that software, but I am saying it’s a solved problem… It’s automatic, the user doesn’t need to do anything special.

Now we have other forms that COULD be automatic but AREN’T which causes big issues when people make simple typos… But I don’t see the need to run an energy consuming LLM to implement that feature.

I’m gonna take this comment, blow it up to poster size, and put it in my office, right in front of my webcam so I can watch my boss squint trying to read it.

The ultra wealthy are building bunkers. Preserving any form of society no longer interests them.

I used to think that was a good idea too: sequester 4chan, make it the sin-eater of the internet at large.

But as we learned through 2014-2016, from Gamergate to the alt-right to MAGA, 4chan didn’t need to break for them to go elsewhere. And not just elsewhere, but everywhere. A single 4channer could make multiple reddit accounts, twitter accounts, and fake facebook profiles. But what allowed their work to reach larger audiences was to use /pol/ to coordinate their brigades across the internet. 4chan’s anonymity and lack of persistent logs made that easy.

Russian state actors infiltrated their ranks as other anons. As obnxious trolls looking to get a rise out of people, they had huge blinds spots and failed to see this for what it was (or looked the other way). Once installed, they could launder propaganda by making it look like it was coming from seemingly American sources, all across the internet, all at the same time. The anons were Putin’s useful idiots.

The argument of sequestering the social pariahs to 4chan implies they are physically locked up there, imprisoned but satisfied, uninterested in engaging the internet at large. But clearly that isn’t true. You can’t leave the Nazis in one corner of the bar - it becomes the Nazi bar. If you want to fight them, you have to remove them from the common spaces, and then remove their own spaces. Unfortunately, the cancer of fascism has metastasized all across the internet, now originating from people who have never heard of “this four chan.” Fighting that is going to require us to stop falling for the paradox of tolerance and start kicking the Nazis out, whether we have laws to do so or not.

4chan has been all too eager to spread Russian propaganda for over a decade, and has been a festering sore on the internet even longer still. I wouldn’t let the paradox of tolerance bind us to 4chan of all places. OP is right, nothing of value would be lost.

Quantum huh? I was gonna guess it would be brain chips given Muk’s obsession with it.

They’re so desperate to make the real-life Snowcrash, Ready Player One, Matrix, they haven’t even acknowledged how hard metaverse flopped, nor how there’s no “smuggling” anything into a virtual “space”. They can’t stand the idea that what they really made was Worse Second Life 30 Years Later.

The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies. However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy.

I for one would be happy if the collapse of the power grid killed AI. I would be, if it didn’t also mean the collapse of the entire global economy and the death of thousands of people.

This greedy motherfucker can’t think but 5 minutes ahead.

Stripping the copper wiring from the walls.
