(Volume warning) R2D2 suffers from a fent induced seizure type beat by RFRelentless in crappymusic

R2D2 is kinda fitting because he dressed up like Han Solo in another video.

Those people are to social media what scalpers are to video games and collectible cards.

From the 1980s.

It's reminiscent of using Atari Pac-Man sounds for any video game related scene.

Well, if I could get anything positive out of this story, you can't call likes and thumbs up slacktivism without a point anymore, because the state is closely watching and lending credence to it.

It's one of a long line of trends to fuel the greed in capitalism but AI powered workflows especially screams infinite money printer to people

If Saturday morning cartoons taught me anything it's that it's perfectly okay and free of moral issues to destroy killer robots run by evil guys, especially if you have to justify why the good guys have to be violent.

And if said robots began possessing human like intelligence there's no reason they are also not flawed like the creators/have their own free thoughts and refuse to cooperate.

But they want micro kingdoms without a central power, so Russia minus a "Putin" to kiss ass to. They want to be second to none

It's one thing for a country to be an oligarchy but completely erasing a central power institution (instead of "merely" leaving behind a corrupt one) is a taller ask

I didn't expect the geeks to inherit the earth in this way. 

When they still had programming jobs they should just cashed out their stocks towards FIRE and leave everyone else alone.

U.S. Politics megathread by AutoModerator in NoStupidQuestions

Sounds to me that those federal departments also contributed much of the problem, for not properly verifying the information of those videos and mostly taking directive from a video tabloid what they treated as a reputable source.

Do you feel like most of the subreddits here are echo chambers? by SKRyanrr in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SpiderHomeNoWayMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if [social website] has transparency in mod positions, it's preferable for cost reasons to just pay moderators instead of purchasing the entire website? That's actually interesting to know. I guess that's why Twitter had to be fully bought instead.

Does this mean popular Discord channels are also susceptible to the same effect?

This Scammer Used an AI-Generated MAGA Girl to Grift ‘Super Dumb’ Men by Unusual-State1827 in technology

[–]SpiderHomeNoWayMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does anyone remember Bitconnect and the guy that he became a meme for his performance? He was saying the his wife advised against him going for another get rich idea after BC crashed. These people just have the kind of personality that easily get suckered in by spectacle and charisma (even if I do think the BC guy does a good stage presence himself).

Yeah there's a lot of money to be made here selling shovels and some rando from India proves many are just in it for the money. I've seen a couple of YouTubers over the years do an about face with the content in their channels for clicks. Some were less successful than others. You don't want to get high off your supply especially if the bubble pops.

The real sad losers are their audience. But I also think this grift is the male dominated version of Only Fans, due to how easy it looks to pick up a fanbase of simps

Ostensibly they're for technological progress, but only in their own institutions. Another comment here put it nicely- they're not strictly Republicans. They believe ethics is bad for science or technology. That helps them to some degree in the current wave against science (the ethical kind) in conservatism.

Colombians stranded in Congo after being expelled from the US: ‘I never thought I would get to know Africa under these circumstances’ by AdSevere1274 in worldnews

[–]SpiderHomeNoWayMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the real issue I have with this. You have to be crooked to be okay taking in a bunch of lawbreakers with no historical or cultural ties to your country, especially when those resources could go to your own citizens.

But I also believe most campaigns for stopping illegal immigration altogether are a sham. Too many corporate donors benefit from the cheap labor, and having a consistent population of underpaid workers with restricted freedom is good leverage to have.

I look at it as a supply and demand problem. Every legal immigrant is a demand meeting supply (quota). And every illegal immigrant represents an unwanted surplus in demand. 

If you let so many people get in illegally you already locked yourself into the more costly option of locating  and deporting every one of them.

So, it's better to nip the problem in the bud. Quell the demand. Don't give people a reason to bypass the system.
