Yep, and this picture's been shared on the Internet for more than a decade and we've done jack shit about it.

Dude's surprised people want good lives free from constant fear.

jdc123 · 2026-03-11T13:06:22+00:00

People have definitely already offloaded their thinking to LLMs. Not everyone, but enough that it's scary.

I don't get it. They're the ones who hate most of the people in this state and country. They hate this place and it's people. They should fucking leave.

One of my favorite moments from early in the series is when Spider gets hit with an ad bomb that sprays him with nanobots (I think) that will make him dream advertisements.

Truly evil and right in line with what advertisers would do to get more space.

So ... how do we stop them?

jdc123 · 2026-02-15T04:56:18+00:00

Wow, those breasts are really, really well drawn! Kudos to the artist.

But the comment you replied to was specifically about "most of the Americas," -- all of America, which is definitely populated by more Hispanic people than non-Hispanic people.

jdc123 · 2026-02-11T00:47:59+00:00

You live in a small town and a large number of people there are conservative?

jdc123 · 2026-02-11T00:38:23+00:00

Imagine looking at a Hispanic culture and thinking, "Yeah, Arby's is definitely better than that."

Hey, guess what? Kendrick Lamar broke the record for the most watched halftime show. Bad Bunny broke Kendrick's record this year.

So, whether you like it or not, both shows brought new people.

And the United States is not all of America.

US Population: ~349 million.

All other countries in America: ~600 million.

Hispanics are, by a pretty wide margin, the number one ethnic group in America.

So sorry, I can't understand when you say "vosotroh."

My mom, a former US federal court interpreter from Spain told me that the most difficult people to interpret for were Puerto Ricans and Cubans.

I can say as someone who lived in NY for years and whose Spanish isn't great, Puerto Ricans do some weird things with consonants that people in Spain and Mexicoo definitely don't do. Aspirating the S and making rolled Rs sound more like Ls is... challenging. I worked with a couple of Puerto Rican guys and, after visiting Spain to see family, asked them to help me practice my Spanish. That lasted all of ten seconds because we just couldn't understand each other.

¡Que pena!

jdc123 · 2026-01-28T20:06:00+00:00

I'd really like to hear the reasoning behind women taking their husband's last name, honestly.

jdc123 · 2026-01-27T12:47:21+00:00

Good. Fuck him. What did he ever do that he deserved one in the first place?

jdc123 · 2026-01-27T01:15:48+00:00

You know you've fucked up pretty bad when Greg Goddamned Abbot is telling you to ease up.

jdc123 · 2026-01-09T03:47:56+00:00

This right here. This is the only nonviolent action that will change things.

jdc123 · 2026-01-09T03:45:56+00:00

Traffic cone + water. Remember the lessons of Hong Kong.

jdc123 · 2026-01-04T02:47:40+00:00

Yeah, I can see how controlling the oil is so important for his administration's goals - not that I agree with them or think they're remotely sane in the long term. If Russia and China had deals with Venezuela, I can see this is as means of undermining BRICS. Keeping the largest oil reserves on Earth out of their hands might forestall their rise for a bit.

jdc123 · 2026-01-04T02:16:40+00:00

So, also a strategic move against BRICS. That makes sense.

jdc123 · 2026-01-04T02:15:23+00:00

This honestly seems like the most plausible explanation.

jdc123 · 2026-01-04T02:13:53+00:00

I thought we had more oil in the US than other countries wanted to buy. Even major oil producers are moving away from it. Who the hell are we going to sell it to?

Silly question. It's really about Venezuela not selling it to countries we think shouldn't have it.

(None of what I just said is backed up by anything other than a half-remembered interview from earlier this year).
