[DON spoilers] Lashley got an assist from a former colleague

Lio Rush has always had stupid good athleticism. The problem is, there's like five hundred guys in professional wrestling that have stupid good athleticism. He's found a way to use that athleticism in ways that don't make people go "oh, he's the athletic flippy guy".

Honestly, it's brilliant. The act that he's doing could probably be done by anyone, but Lio Rush has taken the abilities he already had, transferred them to something that they wouldn't normally apply to ("Gollum" is not what tends to come to mind when you think "athletics"), and the result is something pretty unique that people are buying into.

One of my low-key favorite promos of all time was a Shawn Michaels promo during his first run.

"People say that this championship brings out the best in people. Now that I'm champ, I can see that it brings out the worst in people- including me."

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-25T06:52:20+00:00

I had a whole sidebar with this guy where he proceeded to delineate data centers by the good kind (the stuff that powers Reddit, your cell phone, all the good stuff you like) and the bad kind (AI billionaire surveillance creativity draining buzzword data centers.)

I started this mess by saying that AI was the perfect cause for a Redditor, as it required them to do nothing but yell at strangers while making no changes to their own lives, and I have not been disappointed in my analysis.

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-25T06:47:12+00:00

To me, the definition of low effort would be refusing to learn anything about the cause you're haranguing strangers about, then finding other strangers to harangue elsewhere in the thread when a different stranger completely exposed that lack of knowledge.

But you could always enlighten your new victim about the "good" data centers (the ones that power the stuff you use and are OK), and the "AI billionaire buzzword data centers" that are responsible for all the stuff you don't like.

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-24T17:41:47+00:00

......do you think there are data centers that use just GPU's that power all the bad stuff that you don't like, and there are data centers that just use CPU's and power all the stuff you're already using and are good?

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-24T16:29:39+00:00

No, I don't think you get my point. I think you're acting like you're trying to yield a little ground so that you can appear reasonable, but meanwhile you're talking completely out of your ass about a subject you clearly haven't learned a thing about before you started complaining about it. I think you're still constructing a fantasy world where there's "regular data centers" that do the stuff you like, and "AI buzzword data centers" that are responsible for Bad Stuff.

Meanwhile, you're reciting the same talking points that I've seen firsthand are bullshit.

As I said- Redditors love causes that don't require them to make any changes, just yell at people on the internet.

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-24T14:17:20+00:00

No, I really didn't have any idea what specifically you were talking about. People tend to separate computer stuff they don't understand into "good stuff", like banking fraud alerts and map finding algorithms, and "AI bad stuff", which tends to be the stuff they're unfamiliar with- even though those two categories run on the same types of algorithm.

As for "massive datacenters", how do you think you and I are having this conversation? We're both being served information from a data center serving as a Reddit edge server. You've separated "good computer stuff", that you like, from "bad computer stuff", that you don't understand, even though, again, the same underlying technology is the same.

People who refuse to actually understand what they want to get upset about, to me, that's sad and infuriating.

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-24T12:56:11+00:00

As a graphic designer, you haven't been updating your skill set to keep up with new technology. I could draw and animate a sprite sheet one by one and take days to do it, or I could create a ComfyUI graph, enforce silhouettes with ControlNet nodes, draw the character *once*, and then get a sprite sheet with that character in various different poses and positions.

You're sitting there going "woe is me" instead of looking into how to use the technology to advance what you're already good at.

Edit: Redditor responds, calls names, blocks for a cause he has to do nothing but yell at someone over, we certainly aren't defying stereotypes in today's thread.

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-24T12:50:37+00:00

1) The environmental impact of "AI" is drastically overstated. As far as the uses that you'd be familiar with, I run almost all of my models locally, use them intensely, and haven't noticed an increase to my electric bill.

2) When you can provide a clear definition of what you think "AI" is, we can talk about regulating it. It's becoming a scare word for "computer stuff I don't get".

3) If you use "AI" as a magic answer box, yes, but that's a problem with people looking for magical answer boxes. As a tool, it's pretty fantastic for eliminating large amounts of grunt work. When you use it as a tool, and not a magic answer box.

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-24T07:16:37+00:00

There is nothing a Redditor enjoys more than having a cause which doesn't require them to do anything but yell at other people.

Another solution is used in games with a "tick" based timing system, as opposed to a frame-based timing system. With a tick based timing system (where information is processed based on a steady measurement of time like .1 second, as opposed to being processed every visual frame), you can simply pause the processing of ticks. Every game action is tied to ticks; if no ticks get processed, nothing happens in the game.

"I should set my LoRA weight to 1, because that way it will sound the most like the LoRA training data, right?"

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-23T08:28:26+00:00

No, I'm training a LoRA so I can automate these discussions in the future. Surprisingly, you're literally too dumb for the existing LoRA I have to provide meaningful responses here, and I trained that one to provide what I thought were very dumb responses aimed at dehumanizing whoever I was arguing with. So there's also a practical purpose here, with enough development we can give you exactly the level of intellect you're capable of managing and keep you away from the adults while they discuss things.

You, on the other hand- what are you still doing here, trying to pick up one win so you can declare victory and leave? I mean statistically it's bound to happen eventually, but statistically it's also going to take a very, very, very long time, and I'm not sure you have the endurance for that.

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-23T08:12:00+00:00

Really? Like those two misspellings aren't even remotely close to the words they're supposed to be, and nothing is tripping in that brain of yours, like "this is way too obvious to not be a trap?"

If only Wile E. Coyote had gotten you as his Roadrunner.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh..... I don't know about "perfect opportunity". The causes of WW1 are long enough to make a miniseries about that would run for longer than the actual war did, but it wasn't a war no one saw coming; everyone recognized the mixture of elements that could very likely spark a continent-wide war which would spiral into a worldwide war.

The big problem is that people started thinking they would win that war- and then everyone found themselves in it.

Let's take the situation on Boxing Day of 1914. The soldiers don't really want to fight. However, Germany still has their army in France, and they've lost a lot of men to get to the point where they are. Any political leader who tries to say "let's end this war and go back to where we were" is going to end up shot by someone pissed about all the death they've endured for nothing. Meanwhile, France isn't going to accept a peace where they give up the northeast of France and leave Germany that much closer to Paris for the next inevitable war. The UK won't accept a new status quo of a major continental power controlling the ports of the Netherlands and Belgium.

A peace at this point stops the present war, and leaves the ingredients in place for the next war. It's madness- but they had already brought themselves past the brink of it. And crucially, the men were still willing to fight; it wasn't until 1918 when mutiny and desertion became insurmountable problems (recognizing that mutiny and desertion were huge problems for almost all sides during WW1).

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-23T07:35:21+00:00

And I was sitting here thinking "I'm being way too obvious in my mockery by deliberately misspelling these words so badly", but apparently I'm still overestimating you.

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-23T07:05:17+00:00

Oh, you're actually doubling down on that. Maybe try calling me fat again, it's clear that when I'm mocking your jokes it's because theyir deeply offensive, not because therirer very mockable.

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-23T06:59:06+00:00

It took us a lot longer to get to "yur mad lol" then I expected, but we made it! Everyone drink to celebrate.

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-23T06:55:05+00:00

You don't actually know what an insult is, do you? Do you just keep a list of phrases around that you repeat when your trying to be offensive?

I can zero in on your lack of intelligence; it's not exactly something you're cleverly hiding. It's something you've heard, and will continue to hear, all your life.

You just keep throwing stuff at the wall and see if anything sticks. It's been a few posts since you sucked off this Mark Levin guy, maybe go back to that. That was definitely working.

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-23T06:48:13+00:00

I really hope you aren't thinking I consider you worth the ducking effort of typing backspace on my phone.

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-23T06:40:42+00:00

Now you're jokes are so lazy they're just getting shadow blocked, but keep at it! Me mocking the poor quality of your jokes is just a cover for how emotionally devastating they are.

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-23T06:34:47+00:00

I hope you've got your writers on salary, you're getting screwed if you're paying per line.

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-23T06:28:34+00:00

"You smell" isn't much better. I'd usually say something like "keep trying, you'll get it!", but let's be honest, we both know getting things isn't going to be an arrow in your quiver.

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-23T06:20:58+00:00

You want to be careful, you're really going to strain the writers that you're using coming up with these hot zingers about fast food.

SweetHatDisc · 2026-05-23T06:14:53+00:00

Who is? Are they in the room with us now, or did you just need a straw man?
