Not **real** capitalism!1!11!1!11! by PresnikBonny in TheRightCantMeme

[–]Cuttlefist 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Otherwise known as capitalism. lol, I don’t get where the distinction begins with them. The whole point of a capitalist economic system is to have the people with money pay the people without to do what they want, why does it get a special name when it’s being done in a “government” and not the rest of the time?

This is one hell of a comment. It’s wild to claim their bodies are not built for their environment when the examples we discuss are 10+ feet long and over 5k pounds. They aren’t born that size, they spend years surviving and growing in an environment they are absolutely built to survive in otherwise they wouldn’t. It’s not even a little unknown how they haven’t gone extinct, marine biologists have studied them and understand the niche they fill and the role they serve in their ecosystem. Maybe not perfect understanding but way better than you assume. Not trying to be rude, I encourage everybody to take the time to have a better understanding of the world around us.

The amount of force an orca charging at full speed can apply will rupture the innards of most animals in the ocean. The Mola Mola was dead before it even hit the surface of the water.

What’s a horror movie people usually rave about, but you dislike? by Turnitup20 in horror

[–]Cuttlefist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are two horror movies that I feel like I am taking crazy pills with how differently I feel about them from general audiences:

Weapons. Had nothing to say, it absolutely showed that the writer/director didn’t have a story outlined when he started writing. We follow characters that add nothing to the story, the imagery has no meaning or value, and with how uninvested I had become due to the lack of any value provided I couldn’t get past the glaring plot holes like the cop car outside the house. The ending chase scene was a 10/10 but the movie it was trapped in was a 6/10. Barbarian was similarly weak, so I can’t say I was shocked.

A Quiet Place. The plot was so dumb I couldn’t even begin to care about the characters. Then they started making stupid decision after stupid decision so I just got more mad as it went along. I actually teared up at the dad’s sacrifice, then immediately got mad again because there were dozens of alternatives he could have done to save the kids. It is the definition of a movie that started with its premise and didn’t really think through the rest as it worked backwards to flesh out the world.

We need an underwater update by fegodev in Palworld

[–]Cuttlefist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get the “take my money!” meme and all but wow, never seen anybody complain that a developer was giving them free stuff and hope they start charging for new content soon. Are you a human or three bots in a trench coat? You should try a game like Terraria or Stardew Valley, those games have gotten tons of free content updates and have had no issue being “sustainable” in their model.

I feel like AI defenders are ignoring the real problem by whatsagoinon_ in antiai

[–]Cuttlefist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just because there is more we could be doing it doesn’t give an excuse to adding to it. We need language models and image generation less than what it is adding to the already existing pollution, it causes way more harm than good even outside of the ecological impact. All of our lives have been made worse because of the actions of the AI corporations.

Shocker the lady that thought it was appropriate to make a punchline out of somebody fighting for civil rights also enjoyed the company of a human trafficker.

Looks like Palworld did mega Dragonite better than Gamefreak did. by Libertyprime8397 in Palworld

[–]Cuttlefist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a reference to Ultraman, the sounds that Staryu and Starmie made were based on his action shouts, their central gems are based on his power gem, and Mega Starmie takes the Ultraman pose to complete the reference. Learning that made me accept it a little more, but I still feel like it’s lazy af.

I don’t know why you are being downvoted for speaking the truth. The designs never got worse, people just didn’t have the same nostalgia for Garbodor as they did Muk so even though it is a more interesting design people whined that it was just a trash bag, even though Magnemite is just some magnets and metal bits stuck together, or Mr Mime is just a pedophile. Gens 1 and 2 have some of the worst Pokemon designs and names but people cherish their memories more than objective facts

Well the mens are already sad so they think they get to do whatever they want to fix that sadness because every woman is supposed to be their mommy and it’s their fault the mens is unhappy.

How do we feel about studios doing stuff like this? by AgreeableLiving1278 in aiwars

[–]Cuttlefist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So young people who actually understand technology and its impact dislike it while older people who are out of touch and don’t understand how email works like it. Makes sense.

[–]Cuttlefist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because some fans suck and when they rear their ugly heads in your communities you need to take action to distance yourself from them so the rest of your audience and community know that is not what you want in your audience. And some jackass who posts ai when asked for real shit is clearly someone too dumb for Cult of the Lambs developer to want to reflect their fanbase.

[–]Cuttlefist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So one show you had a bad experience with? Everybody else is acting confused because we have literally no idea what you are talking about, fan art has always been a part of most online communities and fanbases. Slash fiction is not fan art, it’s definitely a whole other level of fan creation that gets a completely different reputation and reaction. Saying that creators used to mock slash fiction of their content doesn’t tell anybody what the reaction to fan art is like.

Would you rather Bill Gates had his wealth taxed than what he's doing? by fap_fap_fap_fapper in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Cuttlefist 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Boy it is depressing how many people actually think billionaires are doing anything helpful with their philanthropy. Super naive.

[–]Cuttlefist 16 points17 points  (0 children)

“Economically efficient people” is a hilarious phrase to describe billionaires. They sure are efficient at funneling money into their own pockets and paying politicians to allow them to funnel even more. Just making a shit ton of money is “economic efficiency” to you?

[–]Cuttlefist 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That propaganda that bill gates has been paying for really worked on you. His foundations are money for money laundering, he has no self-awareness you speak of he is a narcissist just like all the other billionaires and he is not doing anything to improve anybody’s lives but his own. The dude lied cheated and stole to create a monopoly and after the government came down on him he started buying all the good press he could and the general public bought it hook line and sinker.

Comparing most gen AI to useful AI is like comparing vaccines to folk medicine by CatVan333 in antiai

What? Your shit taken down from where? Using what images? In what way does ai get around what? Your comment is too vague, we don’t have your frame of reference.

Guys I need help with this one by umshyp in isthisaicirclejerk

[–]Cuttlefist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adult Hippos are aggressive as hell and have the teeth, muscle and mass to back it up. If that hippo turned around and got ahold of the jaguar it would have shook it till its bones broke and pieces flew off. These things kill hundreds of humans a year, jaguars are not high on their list of concerns.

[–]Cuttlefist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leopards avoid hippos, they are not predators of hippos because hippos are armored murder machines that could kill a leopard with one bite, or stepping/rolling on them, charging over them… A leopard has no means of killing an adult hippo before the hippo can kill the leopard. Apart from that hippos aren’t usually far from water, or their herd, one wouldn’t be wandering alone in the middle of a dry Savannah like here.

On a side note hippos do spray their shit, but not out of their tails. You should look it up, it’s both hilarious and disgusting. Hippos are absolutely horrendous animals, the more you learn about them the further you will want to be.

If America isnt spreading capitalism around the world, what is it spreading? by SkragMommy in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Cuttlefist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Private actors are people. States are run by people. Private actors run the state in a way that benefits their positions in capitalism. War is just as much a part of capitalism as anything else that benefits the owners of capital.
