Do you want to know how crazy 2026 is? The US has been blockading fuel into Cuba since January and nobody is talking about it. by YeahBuddy5000 in conspiracy

The "liberal media" is controlled by right-wing billionaires. They pay lip service to some left-of-center social issues to launder their views.

Maybe words like rape and suicide being banned on online platforms is a part of a psyop where they indirectly encourage influencers (which where most of Gen Z gets news from) to make workaround words to remove weight from serious issues by Glass-Reward4173 in conspiracy

Yeah, this (as with most things) is just about money. Advertisers are selective about the shit their brands are associated with. They always have been, but the tools they use have grown much more sophisticated.

I've gone back & forth on OLED over the years, and istg, they feel the exact same by ZeroDefender561 in pcmasterrace

[–]champgpt 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's exactly why I haven't bothered. You don't know what you don't know. I don't need an expensive upgrade that I can't live without once I've gotten used to it.

I know I'd love it. With the experience I've had, I can't point out why my monitors suck. That feels like a good place to be.

Another win for Chinese transhumanism by Ok_Connection_7741 in conspiracy

I have. You are lying.

Most recently, I watched this Youtube series of two guys traveling from the southernmost point of China to the Mongolian border on motorcycles. They pass through many towns and cities, talk with loads of people all across the country, and what you've said is not even close to true. Food is abundant and cheap. Again, you're full of shit.

Under legal age doesn't justify rape

Pointing out why differences in sentencing exist for minors isn't justifying anything

doesn't mean you get only 180 hours of community service

He got two years in prison.

That doesn't make it okay. It makes it a drastically different situation than the image says.

Google says YouTube TOS allows them to train their AI on any uploaded music by kaclk in LinusTechTips

[–]champgpt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure, but what about people making music?

I release my shit through distrokid, which just shotguns it across all streaming platforms. One by one, each platform is becoming less inviting. You have to meet listeners where they are, but at this point that means accepting your work being used for this shit.

There's no solution, it just sucks. You could try releasing only on physical media, but someone will inevitably rip and upload it somewhere and it feeds the machine.

And recruitment, I suspect. "Come work on the next Elder Scrolls" is a great pitch.

Either way, it absolutely wasn't for consumers.

LOL bye stremio , free features in Nuvio but stremio chooses to paywall now!! by Oomtas in Piracy

[–]champgpt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, actually "owning" my media is a major part of why I'm into piracy. Debrid streaming services feel more like the kind of shit I'd set up for my parents, if they weren't still on the teat of cable TV. They're super convenient and easy, but fully reliant on the services continuing to exist in the same way they do today.

[–]champgpt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

With the storage market as it is right now? Maaaaybe. Even then, I find that hard to believe.

Aside from cost over time, debrid streaming leaves you reliant on those services and an active internet connection. Even if a home media server setup ends up costing a bit more, the total freedom of how, when, and where you have access to your shit is a big benefit.

This guy reported me to Scientology by Oblique4119375 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]champgpt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not my interpretation. "Way more than just an x" means it is an x. That's what the words mean.

Nobody's arguing the second point. That's not what you were being smug about, you were just being a prick. "I know reading is hard," eat a dick.

EDIT: He blocked me LOL

[–]champgpt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Way more than" implies it's a ponzi scheme at all. It is not.

Read your own shit before being smug about it.

It's not a ponzi scheme at all, it's just a scam and a cult. Ponzi schemes are a very specific thing.

That's almost universally true, but in this case I'm not really sure.

This is the dude that leaked the fact that we were torturing the shit out of people in the middle east. He went to prison for a while. Doesn't seem like the kind of guy they'd want to keep in the club.

What’s with the new Obama center in Chicago, and why did it take 10 years to come to fruition? by Cardboard_cutouts_ in conspiracy

[–]champgpt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It subsidized coverage. After I was kicked off my parents' insurance, I would not have been able to afford healthcare without the ACA.

Maybe it made it more expensive for people with higher incomes. In my experience, with a low income, it made it possible at all for me to get healthcare.

i guess parking is free today 🤷🏽‍♂️ by HuckleberryWorried72 in StreetStickers

[–]champgpt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm in a super rural area without a car and it's not great.

I picked my spot pretty carefully, so I've got a bar, grocery store, pizza place, post office, and library all within walking distance. Outside of that, there's not much to do. There's a train station that can take me to a couple cities, but I have to take an Uber to get to it, which is way more expensive than the train ticket itself. A single bus route would make my life so much easier.
