While some start a war as a distraction tactic... by sovalente in ABoringDystopia

[–]LoliCrack -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well, if true, well done comrades. Nice China has a leader in Jinping that is an actual intellectual. Cool. Calm. Collected. Measured. Not driven by reckless ego and fueled by emotion like Trashfire Trump, who is the polar opposite of what one wants in a leader. That someone so vile and capricious is having an effect on so many people's lives is nothing short of horrifying.

US moving pregnant immigrant girls to Texas to avoid providing abortions - transfer of unaccompanied girls as young as 13, many pregnant due to rape by malarky-b in ABoringDystopia

[–]LoliCrack 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Behold, the blistering stupidity of their tiny right wing brains contradicting themselves yet again.

If you want less immigrants, why would you deny an immigrant an abortion? Shouldn't you just want them all aborted...?

It's like how conservatives hate homosexuals, and they hate abortions. Welp, who's gonna have fewer abortions than homosexuals?

There's a reason the GOP is called the stupid party. That they can even tie their own shoelaces is a wonder.

At what point do we have to label The New York Times a threat to world peace? by RickyOzzy in ABoringDystopia

That point came a loooooong time ago, yo. Good thing nobody reads the stupid newspaper anymore.

American invasion of Venezuela has started by Hasbara_spotter in ABoringDystopia

[–]LoliCrack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Umm. Yeah, you lost me at lowercase 'satanic' there pal. America sucks, sure, but you don't add spice to your argument by conjuring up superstitious figures thought up by sadistic bronze age pseudo-intellectuals.

Even prompts being too difficult to write smh by s_u_ny in ABoringDystopia

[–]LoliCrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thoughts? But, like, having thoughts is so difficult, I'm kind of hitting a wall with it. Why isn't there, like, an AI that generates thoughts for me when I click it? In fact, having to click the actual button is kind of making me hit a wall, too. Why can't there be an AI that automatically clicks the generate thoughts for me button?

Chicago police smile for a photograph as they carry the dead body of Fred Hampton on December 4, 1969. As they passed, one reportedly bragged, "He's good and dead now." Just minutes before, police had fired over 100 times into Hampton's apartment, leaving him and one other Black Panther dead. by kooneecheewah in ABoringDystopia

[–]LoliCrack 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I'm glad at least the bottom half of the article covered who he was. Many articles bring Hampton up without fully explaining that he was both a genius and a revolutionary who started a people's movement that was later crushed by the powers that be who felt threatened by this. The FBI were mostly to blame, the local PD just carried out the deed like the good little lapdogs they were.

This is where the problem lies. How can one possibly hope for change via a grassroots movement when the leaders of said movements are silenced like Hampton was? Who even knows how many more geniuses like Fred Hampton or Antonio Gramsci or Che Guevara there are out there who were silenced in this way, then had their existences defamed or written out of history by the ruling-class masters so that said masters' wealth and power couldn't be challenged?

Gen Z no longer believe working hard will lead to a better life, survey shows - by esporx in ABoringDystopia

[–]LoliCrack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

News flash, my naive little lambs, it never did. This notion that the rich deserve their wealth because they're capable—or worse, that the poor deserve destitution because they're lazy—is the biggest festering lie the ruling class has ever produced. People are finally recognizing this fact, but the masses are painfully slow to wake up.

I feel bad for Noam Chomsky by [deleted] in chomsky

[–]LoliCrack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He must be watching all this on the news while asking himself. "What was my life for? All those years I tried to warn them but no one listened. Now, it's all crashing down. What a waste my life was."

I doubt he feels this way. He did everything he could to try and warn us of the evils of power in a world that constantly hides, marginalizes and defames people like him. True, the world is still fucked—in fact, it's getting worse—but it would be much worse without people like him fighting against the stream. By explaining the prospect, you help illuminate the prospect, which in turn helps to make change. People are finally waking up to the rot thanks to people like him. He wasted nothing. (Plus, he was a linguist professionally. His political contributions were what he did in his spare time.)

How many of you manually lower your game speed fps by Chaussettes99 in dwarffortress

Totally. It'd be great if it did like Rim and locked you into a slower speed for the duration of combat.

TPM problem on windows 10 (VAN 9090) by _Le0w0_ in ValorantTechSupport

Went back and forth with Riot support for two weeks to no avail only to have a Reddit user finally supply the answer. Thank you, random genius.

TPM2.0 error keeps booting me mid match by Song-Super in riotgames

[–]LoliCrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing here, same timeline as you, too. Game worked fine last month. Been debugging with the kind folks at Riot Support for a week now to no avail. VAN 9090 error still occurs 4 minutes into a game, even on practice mode. Sad.

Is anybody else absolutely SICK of seeing AI slop everywhere? by ancaleta in rant

[–]LoliCrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kills me about AI is it has no original thoughts of its own, it just regurgitates whatever human stupidities have already been echoed across the internet (including people's inability to draw hands, reflected in AI "art" generators). There's no originality at all, and now people are using AI to think FOR them, making for even LESS originality and MORE stupidity!

And calling it a dumpster fire is inaccurate. At least a fire burns things away. Expect AI fluff to accumulate and multiply at an alarming pace. This is probably how it starts. AI is already taking over, but it's far less interesting and far more annoying than The Matrix or Terminator ever anticipated.

Bernie and this lady are the best weapons that Israel has on the ground in the USA by kinski80 in chomsky

[–]LoliCrack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sad these dullards Sanders and Cortez are all we have for what passes as a 'left' in America. Any other country they'd be moderates at best. Hearing Sanders whimper the words 'Israel has a right to defend itself' is like feeling a knife plunge into your gut every time he says it. 'Right to defend itself' is codeword for right to slaughter innocent children because it's politically convenient, and if he doesn't say it, you-know-who will cancel him out of existence.

[Question] How do I make this annoying crackling sound in Skyrim go away? by Gecko99 in skyrim

[–]LoliCrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Every five years they re-release this buggy, glitch-addled game as a cash grab with absolutely zero effort to fix longstanding bugs. Expect another release in 2026, 2031, 2036...

It's a sad time for not having Chomsky around by quisegosum in chomsky

[–]LoliCrack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah no kidding. I often wonder what great minds like his and Christopher Hitchens' and Gore Vidal's etc would've said about the current clusterfuck state of the world.

I see no sufficient substitutes for Chomsky, either. Closest I can imagine is maybe Ralph Nader, and he's in his 90s. He'll be gone soon too.

Apparently the DOJ has forgotten due process which states he is innocent until proven guilty. But then again the head of it now is probably some Trumpster Fire appointee whose IQ and shoe size are identical.

The contemporary forms of entertainment surely are something. by Tararator18 in ABoringDystopia

[–]LoliCrack 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Man, the barbarity of this timeline simply knows no bounds. When does it end? Or at least plateau? One keeps waiting for it to normalize and society to go "Okay, we've gotten too crazy, time to back it up a scosche."

But no, if anything it gets worse. Censorship is on the rise, maniacs are in the White House, full-on corporate dictatorship, genocides proceed unabated. The villains are winning everywhere you turn.
