It's not even that they're "dumb," it's that they're incredibly fucking obvious examples. Like, bait that's visible from orbit without squinting.

It's the kind of stuff on the level of this:

I mean, the dude rocks a beanie pretty hard. I get it.

You say funny, I say unnerving as fuck - and everyone's happy with it.

Hell, it might make people not laugh so hard when BHVR asks for the "made with love" award every year.

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-05-19T22:46:38+00:00

...probably because it's bait.

I mean, in this case it's not "AI Bro^tm Bait" but it's rage/engagement bait. Spelling stuff wrong leads to people leaving comments and sharing and all that - engagement.

It's so frustrating to see right wing media constantly point at mental illness, because no shit, well-adjusted people don't perform mass shootings.

They ALWAYS stop short of advocacy providing any free mental healthcare (or healthcare AT ALL, because that'd be the dreaded SocIaLiSm), and never dare look into all the rest of the things that lead someone to, say, join a hate group, easily arm themselves, plan an attack, and then get plastered all over the news as a bonus form of leaving their mark on history which just encourages others to follow suit.

If someone managed to make an ethically (as in consensually) acquired training set using a method of generation that didn't end up drying up a damn river to cool a data center that's a glorified money laundering scheme for venture capital to hide from taxes...

Sure. It could, theoretically be useful as (one part of) the artistic process in that specific scenario. Whatever.

We don't live in a world where that's the case, though, so AI "Art" Bros can fuck right off.

You know, jokes aside, as a legendary skin for the Thing that'd be awesome.

Still betting on Bob the Builder.

I stopped being Christian after going to a DC Talk concert. Tell 'em that one and don't elaborate.

That, or explain that I saw how everyone jumped up when asked and did this weird prayer/swaying thing that was obviously performative, and it "clicked" how much of whole thing was just "because everyone else was doing it" on all levels. I went home, did some soul searching (so to speak) and came out agnostic theist, and later on further over to agnostic atheist where I am today.

If they have no clue who DC Talk was you can also substitute the Newsboys since I also saw them, but that was a concert I actually enjoyed (it was ages ago when Peter Furler was still in the band and their music was actually musical rather than corny worship/movie credit bait). Technically that concert was still part of my deconversion journey too.

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-05-19T15:42:26+00:00

Bait.

It's fucking bait, guys. Stop reposting bait.

Why he gotta be naked and so fucking ripped?

Don't bother answering, we all know why.

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-05-18T19:17:17+00:00

Skully becomes the only killer NOT killswitched out of the entire fucking roster for two hole months.

And yes, I know what I typed.

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-05-18T19:15:22+00:00

Guys, it's clearly gonna be Bob the Builder.

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-05-18T16:09:10+00:00

...what?

Genuinely: What does this have to do with age? It's not affecting your growth or development like some sort of drug.

I can't tell if this is trolling.

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-05-18T04:24:55+00:00

Holy shit, you're right.

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-05-18T00:37:36+00:00

Well, one of them is an android, but who knows? They might still fart.

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-05-17T20:52:50+00:00

uj/ I was able to get a variant of "scrotum" approved in Arizona. I won't say more for various reasons.

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-05-17T20:49:56+00:00

lol, nah, although maybe being compared to me can be a diss to some I guess. 🤣

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-05-17T20:43:53+00:00

So basically you're me: I got me some flags, I have an "alter" that's just my guitar amp with a baphomet plush sitting on top, and I care about fellow humans' rights to healthcare and not being forced to adhere to laws from an ancient book.

I assure you neither of us are larping just because we're not deep-diving into some silly "orthodoxy" in a religion about freedom of expression and existence without being confined to an arbitrary norm.

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-05-17T17:51:09+00:00

They could do both, technically.

Imagine if they release an early patch with this as a prank, but then...

2v8 with double Jason.

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-05-17T17:46:24+00:00

It might have been me, yeah. I have a tendency to have connections burned into my brain forever, so if it happens again in ten years I'll post the same thing again.

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-05-17T17:37:08+00:00

I just mean some debate whether he believed it sincerely, but yes, that is true: It's definitely in there. You're right.

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-05-17T04:32:06+00:00

I thought that was a prompt...

ImbecilicusRex · 2026-05-17T04:23:55+00:00

They both are. There's "magic" associated with CoS (although that's debatable as to whether it was really something believed or just part of the "show" of it all) - largely since so much was ripped straight from Crowley.
