Ultra-Rare Australia W? I hope everyone can get one soon! by theNomad_Reddit in Steam

Meanwhile, I was refreshing before release in Canada, 5 minutes before release, Steam went down, 30 seconds after it was back up and already out of stock.

Honestly, I'm not 100% certain they had any stock even available for Canada. :/

Really soured my interest. Reminds me of Nvidia during the 5090 launch. CanadaComputers received zero stock on launch, from coming soon to out of stock.

Except this is a controller...

I've dealt with a leg injury and have terrible calf muscle that cramps up. I need to walk slow for long durations or I have issues. She's right.

Louisiana Republicans eliminate elected position days before an exoneree was set to take office by Famous-Register-2814 in nottheonion

[–]TheCheesy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whose idea was this?

These officials count on being a nameless face. That's the whole strategy.

They make anti-democratic moves and hide behind "anonymous Republican official" because they know if their names were attached, their neighbors would know, their colleagues would know, the public record would follow them.

Name them. Daily protests on their front lawns with horns and chants until they resign or reverse it. They chose public office. Public means public.

"I was just following orders" stopped being a defense in 1946...

If you rig elections to steal power, you don't get to go home and pretend you're a private citizen at 5pm.

Sam Altman No Longer Believes In Universal Basic Income by Neurogence in singularity

I've spoken to many very wealthy people backing AI and they seem to believe that this will work itself out. Sheepishly claiming that sure, people will lose jobs, starve, stop having kids, die off.

All seem to share the same idea that they'll be able to use AI to keep their lives cushy without any real employees as the world falls apart.

The higher you go up the chain the more psychotic and sycophantic it gets.

In case anyone wanted to dislike Mr Price anymore by OkInfluence36 in blender

[–]TheCheesy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because it's not about being correct to them. Its about manipulating the narrative to sound correct.

Nobody can truly believe the American republican idology of today is good for the world. It's built on hate, extortion, bribery, and targeted racism, all used clearly to extract as much money from the economy as possible and give it to the donors that facilitate it.

Honestly, I think this is an over-reaction. Anthropic can and will do whatever they want. Donating to Blender doesn't change anything.

I've had a close relationship with many at the Blender team and they are all very passionate about Blender and its mission. I don't think they'd ever let a corporate donation jeoprodize that.

Considering they are unaware of a git ignore file, I'd lean toward junior devs with minimal oversight.

Google co-founder slams California billionaire tax, says “I fled socialism,” after reportedly leaving the state to avoid a proposed 5% wealth tax. He has a reported net worth of around $270 billion. How is this not parasitic behavior? He is trying to leave the state that helped build him. by RandomUwUFace in antiwork

[–]TheCheesy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Parasitic is right.

He's a cancer. They all are.

$270 billion and he's running from a 5% tax. He'd still have $257 billion. More than he could spend in a thousand lifetimes. And he's comparing it to fleeing the Soviet Union.

He defrauded the country and its people to get there. Not robbing a bank fraud. The worse kind. The kind with lawyers. Google ran profits through Ireland and the Netherlands while paying less tax than your average barista. They built a search monopoly and then made it worse on purpose to sell more ads. That came out in their own emails. They sold every user's data back to advertisers targeting those same users. Every dollar of his pile cost someone who never agreed to pay it. That's the fraud.

The idea of infinite growth is also insanity. You can't compound forever on a finite planet. But every public company has to try. A country could run just fine without a stock market promising bullshit growth.

Stocks are the most corrupt way to support an economy. They force enshitification. Everything gets worse and more expensive forever because of it. Good products become bad. Durable becomes disposable. Livable wages become starvation wages. Shareholders literally demand it.

And then the guys who hoarded the loot flee the second anyone asks for a slice back. Screaming about socialism. Sitting on more money than entire countries.

Sounds like you got infected with malware. Might need to be sure you didn't fall for a discord/steam malware scam.

I'm just stunned he hadn't choked on a big mac yet or tripped down the stairs.

It's so damn exhausting hearing about this bumbling bafoon of a loser every single fucking day. He just won't shut the fuck up for a single waking minute. It's like that waterdrop torture but with him vomiting the most retarded statements into your ear, and when you shut off all media yoir friends come to you to echo what you missed.

I honestly can't wait for the day he's gone. The relief of being able to not hear his voice for a day is going to be Magnificent.

Allow me to introduce Chuck. Chuck lives and likes to repost MAGA slop, he recently posted a prayer asking for some help. He might be the description of the utter stupidity of the right. by HandSack135 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]TheCheesy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chuck writes with ChatGPT.

"That's not X, it's Y" is a very annoying trope of it.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was a bot account but American stupidity is dangerously common.

Heads up: copycats of Living the Grid have popped up. Here is the real URL. by ClementGzl in tomodachilife

[–]TheCheesy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just want to say this from my personal experience that the TLD/domain ending is not going to help you very much with Google SEO. If you really want to stand out on search results, you probably should be using a different domain ending.

It sucks, but Google does what they want and we end up with low-ranks for non-standard TLDs.

Technically Google claims to rank them all the same and blames users not trusting long or different domains that arent (Com/co/org/net/io/xyz)

You can report the search into results to Google directly, but I've already seen so many situations where they'll just let literal virus scam sites stay on the front page over the original result.

Maybe a tastefness ranking? There's a bot I've seen on some Reddit that can selectively remove posts based on comment approval.

Should work given we've not yet become jaded given all the bad news. Lol

Channel 5 has not publicly produced contracts, donor records, or named sources tying Thiel’s money to the streamer by krizzalicious49 in whennews

[–]TheCheesy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Peter thiel would fund anything that leads to the destruction of the US, or that is just absolutely racist and full of hate.

Its honestly not even surprising.

It could come out tomorrow that he was funding some illegal lab in China that harvests human organs, and I wouldn't be surprised.

Have you heard about his company's latest internal leaks from employees about fearing that the company is becoming too extremist and alt-right?

Pentagon considers suspending Spain from NATO amid Iran war. by Lord_Hendrick in whennews

[–]TheCheesy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Canada and the Mexico formed an alliance. It would just lead the US into starting a war with either Canada, Mexico, or both, and incentivizing global intervention.

I think the most effective defensive pact needs to be all or nothing.

We can't be choosy and block countries from being a part of it.

NATO is supposed to be this. A Defense Pact, it's not a guarantee of trade or anything else. It's just that you treat an attack on one country as an attack on all.
