  • Fuck, that's infuriating. Is there any way to get them off the mod team?

  • Ahh, New Zealand. Very similar to the rest of the English-speaking world, but introverted.

  • Okay, gtfo. That's not how we handle things. That's not how any group, political leaning, or organization can handle things if we ever want a good future. Once again, for good measure: gtfo.

  • It's a pretty popular meme format, it's not serious

  • The only people who are stupider are undecided or non-voters.

    God, tell me about it. I've seen so many reactionary takes with what's going on in Gaza and the US support for it, insisting they're staying home over it, when if they thought out the problem for like 5 seconds more, they'd realize what absolute children they're being.

    Not only is not voting going to result in America taking a MORE extreme stance on Gaza, but it also invites endless suffering from this and other extremist positions, that will hurt us, our families, and our loved ones. Real fucking strategery there guys. I really hope I'll have it in me to rub their faces in the inevitable consequences, but realistically I'll be too much of a shell to care after seeing everyone I love suffer.

  • Stories like this give me hope for the world at large to pull itself back from the brink. Especially in my hometown, the good ole USA.

  • Welp, looks like my next hardware isn't gonna be Dell 🤷‍♂️

  • Oh wait that's a much safer term to describe those antics than what I've been using. I've always known it as "JAQing off" (just asking questions).

  • I was about to say. There's a million concerns over environmental and economic effects (that I'll own up to ignoring when visiting family or exploring), but safety is still wayyy down the list. The statistic about being 20x more likely to die in a car crash on the way to the airport than the flight itself still holds very firmly true (and I'm being SUPER conservative about those numbers in case recent events tilt it, it's still a ~800x per-mile ratio).

  • Really? I mean, no comment on his actual health, but I think he looks fine in that photo, I can think of 3 straightlaced computer nerds in my life who more or less look exactly like that. Maybe just needs some exercise and veggies.

  • I guess it comes down to the transition point. If they've adapted in that they're resistant to cancer developing or spreading in general, that has implications on what can be done to make humans resistant. If instead they've adapted to be less likely to get cancer from radiation levels that high, it's less useful, since most people generally aren't exposed to those levels.

  • Interstellar marketing was pretty interesting, they basically told you nothing about the movie, but communicated the vibes of it well. I don't think the first trailers even showed space, despite that being where the majority of the movie takes place.

  • In case you're missing it, this is what the Stephen King book and movie "Maximum Overdrive" is about, but technologically behind by 50 years. Radio signals and power surges just happen to influence machines all over the world into vengefully killing people.

  • Ditto, I practically could've wrote that comment myself

  • Haha thanks you too

  • Sure, but this is less than nothing. It literally applies 0 friction against AI and is complete and totally unenforceable. AND it's a laughing stock for everyone and sucks the oxygen out of better AI regulation groups and think-tanks.

  • Oof, and there's only ten lines of code, too. And they look very purposefully written out.

  • Luckily Google is here to save us. Just replace the word "save" with "screw". Ad revenue over safety, always.
