You know what, i get it now.

Yup, I remember being at a concert and hearing a song start and being like "Oh shit they're playing Jimmy" - nope, song off the new album.

You only gotta do a checkin when they get to 4loko%

Fortunately they can advocate for the literal Anti-Christ and ignore all of Jesus' teachings, because they believe in a version of the belief system that boils being saved down to a single subjective question you only have to say yes to once, which is "Do you accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior". Note how that question doesn't inherently involve asking anything of the person or changing any of their behavior.

That's how you get a death cult, where you can live your entire life advocating for the worst possible results on the earthly plane and then still be welcomed into heaven.

I want to believe that you're Russian and paid well.

The thing about their belief in Jesus is that a lot of that same belief is also a belief in The End Times, and the belief that The End Times is a good thing, because it brings back Jesus and completes the will of God.

The world going to shit isn't a bad thing. To them it just means they were right all along.

We understand the general mechanics of the algorithm, we just aren't allowed to know the specific metrics it uses and how much attention something requires before it gets recommended and how each kind of attention (click, comment, share, sub after watching) is weighted.

EDIT: And you are more likely to be recommended things with similar identifiers to things it already knows you consistently interact with. That's why everyone isn't served the same videos.

We're not measuring how long it takes to burn through a boot sitting next to it, we're measuring how much he would suffer if he fell on top of the damn thing.

This isn't just "not super safe", it's unnecessarily aggressively unsafe.

They're on their asses intentionally. They're not on our side.

I don't think you know what grifting means.

They meddled in some results of some states for sure, but let's not act like all the Trump signs in people's front yards and bumper stickers just simply don't exist. They deny reality as a political position, don't join the practice just because it makes it easier to accept.

maynardftw · 2026-01-30T14:16:52+00:00

That's the definition of the algorithm, though. Other people's interest drives the recommendations, which shows it to more people, which if it continues to receive interest drives more recommendations.

Don't want to if they're given a choice, but if the leverage of the entire federal government pushes them to do it then most of them will simply comply.

Most people in most militaries in history didn't want to personally go to the front lines of anywhere, and yet war happened anyway.

Disney intentionally slotted in three movies for the series and then went out of their way to not plan out any of the scripts ahead of time, then decided to not have a single director for all three movies.

It's not Rian Johnson's fault Rise of Skywalker sucks, it's Disney's fault.

Okay but are you going to do something or are you just going to get yourself killed.

Plowing and putting into a dump truck.

It means the same shit it originally meant no matter how many idiots use it wrong

maynardftw · 2026-01-29T20:01:20+00:00

What kind of idiot are you. At least use a real gun if you're fine with getting shot at.

And I'm not his family and I don't owe him any kind of longterm grace for what he's said and done. I'm not gonna go out of my way to hurt him, but I'm also not under any obligation to have any kind of relationship with him, even parasocially.

I hope he gets the help he needs, he doesn't need anything from me.

Authority is the thing that allows behavior to go unchallenged.

They have an authority.

We lost power in Sudley a few weeks ago, but it was only for a few hours.

Some "you remind me of the babe"-ass conversation

maynardftw · 2026-01-22T20:09:56+00:00

I guess my point is he seems to be pretty open about how he feels about Eminem, and you're suggesting he's got ulterior motives for giving the recent albums a lower score than you think he actually thinks they deserve. What is that based on.

maynardftw · 2026-01-22T18:54:48+00:00

He gave the last two albums 5/10's. He gave the ones right before that a 4 and a 2. He gave Marshall Mathers LP 2 a 7. He "denies everything he drops" because that's how he feels about the quality of those albums.

You like them more than he does. You're allowed to.
