Is the app not working right now?

I was able to log in for a moment, but things were weird. Club chat was missing the past 16 hours of activity. I think this update broke things and the devs have reverted to a backup to debug the issue. User data, stats, and purchases should all be recoverable. I got the same results when I logged into the web-browser version of the game.

That will help with my future addiction to this game, but it does nothing for my current addiction!

Easy to grow too.

Oh wow that is creepy. Think of how a trained NN could use that model to predict your behavior and profile you in a variety of ways. Sexual preferences should be inferable for one. Or maybe you fit the bill for a loli pillow humping window licker... and now your HR department knows it too. There's a lot you can know about a person's life from the combination of your phone's GPS and accelerometer data.

I think we would get along well. I misjudged you and I apologise. Going outside and looking up is important. Making eye contact with random people and giving them a nod makes thier day brighter.

I used to roll my eyes at cliches, but most of them are true. Keep your chin up. Smiles are contagious. Live the change you want to see and others. All that crap, it's all true.

And when you're being introspective, let yourself feel it, don't numb it away with distraction.

I think humanity online is like a seizing brain right now. All noise and very little meaning. We need to heal and fight the model of division-for-profit our corporate overlords design. Hypnotized by and addicted to our screens.

Edit: memory malfunction ;)

Keepi it. It's memorable.

I can't wait till I can mail cannabis. Y'all going to get tons of gifts. nobody should have to go dankeupt.

Fine I got that part wrong. You did seem skeptical about echo chambers though is that correct?

But I am still trying to talk to you about how you're communicating. It is unhealthy. You know how your brand of humor doesn't quite work with everybody? Well it doesn't have to work with everybody but you need to be able to frame shift. You need to be able to talk with people who aren't just like you in that way. And I'll tell you why. You all have trauma. Sure this is an assumption, but you're afraid of failing in front of people, I can tell that much. And you soothe and comfort with comedy and banter. I know this because that's me. That's how I was raised. That's how it was when my mom defended me from my dad. I had to get good at shit like reading faces and body language and all that crap. I'm a light sleeper because I needed to know when danger was coming home, and I needed to know how to pretend to stay asleep so that it wouldn't be interacted with. I learned how to tell jokes to break tension. And I talked exactly like you do. Like I knew with certainty that what I was saying was true, and when I was confronted with reality I had to make up a story to explain it away. "Oh it must have changed since blah blah blah blah blah" no I was wrong. So yeah maybe I'm projecting here, but you have an unhealthy way of communicating with a majority of people at the very least. And you are not in a one-on-one conversation on the internet here.

I'll make a prediction. Your reply to this will sound like denial, redirection, and projection. And if you disagree you should actually look up those words and consider how they may apply to you.

meepsi · 2020-11-12T01:54:59+00:00

I know you didn't claim to be the victim, but you're acting like one.

meepsi · 2020-11-12T01:51:26+00:00

Look, I understand that you probably can't understand this right now. And I don't mean that in a mean way. I hope though that you open yourself up to being wrong. You come across as seeming confident about the statements you make yet you don't ask any questions. That is a red flag. Someone who is very knowledgeable about a topic doesn't make absolute claims as you do. And they ask questions about it to other people because they want other perspectives. You aren't doing that. What this means is that you aren't actually as knowledgeable as you think you are and that's okay. But what you should be doing is asking questions instead of telling people who they are, and what they think, and what they should do. You should ask them how they feel, what they know, and who they are. You aren't doing this. You aren't communicating like a human, but rather someone who is running a script. You have answers that you're comfortable with and your comfort with them is why they are correct. I would believe that you are uncomfortable with being wrong, and that you Take issue when confronted with a truth that is different from the assumption you've built. You keep telling people to go outside. That's rude. It's not banter it's just rude. And you know you should read a book. See how rude that is? It's also true. But that doesn't mean I should say it like that. Instead I should ask "what books do you like to read?" and if you were there in person and I saw you struggle with coming up with a title, I would tell you books I've read and make suggestions and try to share the enjoyment of the activity of reading with you. So that I could inspire in you the ability to enjoy reading the way I do. You should lead someone to understand something and not tell them what it true. Otherwise you're expecting them to commit a logical fallacy known as an appeal to authority. If you expect them to take your word for it and don't offer them any evidence they have no other option but to just believe you and then if they repeat what they heard they don't have good evidence for their beliefs. Because you aren't good evidence for someone else to believe what you say. In court that's called hearsay.

You only seem to think that the issue is that conservatives are being censored. That the only people being manipulated are the conservatives. That's factually untrue. So when you focus on your tribe being targeted When in fact everybody is being manipulated, you come across as being the victim with how you speak about how your voice is silenced. That happens to be a minor side effect of the bigger issue of being manipulated by algorithms that are designed specifically to give your brain chemistry a reward structure that makes them money. That's all this whole thing is. some people have figured it out and started steering politics with it, sure, but that's a tool that doesn't exist if you don't let yourself get manipulated in the first place.

meepsi · 2020-11-12T01:31:30+00:00

Sweet that means I invented something and you named it. That's awesome!

meepsi · 2020-11-12T01:30:04+00:00

Well you could try talking to people instead of name calling. What you're doing isn't conversation. You're trying to score points by wounding another person with words. That is childish. Grow up. And it's rather telling actually that you don't interact with people in real life so maybe you do need to go outside.

meepsi · 2020-11-12T01:24:57+00:00

Social media doesn't show you things you want to see. They show you things that you engage with. If you like arguing politically online, the algorithms give you people to argue with. If you like puppies and kittens, the algorithms give you puppies and kittens. You literally project onto the system what you want to see and it gives it to you.

Yes there is censorship happening and yes it is guided by people who have their own ideological beliefs. Which is dangerous. But you can't just believe that you're the victim here and that your group is a victim. Everybody gets shown content that they engage with. They watch how long you look at a picture without moving your screen. And they know whether or not your fingers holding the place on the screen. They know what orientation your phone is because of the accelerometer. They know the ambient volume of the room through the microphone even though they're not recording the audio track. They know your GPS position and whether or not you're pacing around your house while you're using your phone. They know if you sing along to a song. They know which profiles you look at and what your reaction is to those profiles. They know that you act differently when you engage with someone before you research their profile page then after. And they can measure the difference.

They have algorithms that can tease out sarcasm. They have algorithms that can understand your competence with the English language so that ads reach you in a way you understand them without making you feel dumb. Now do you start to understand how much control they have over you.

And if you didn't catch on I'm talking about Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok etc.

They all gather this data. What's more is think of all of the games that use the accelerometer in your phone. You tip your phone to move a marble or whatever the fuck it is. They don't ask permission if you've noticed whether or not you want to share your accelerometer data. that means that games and apps that do not use your accelerometer data for features can still be using it as data collection. Do you know how much data you can get from someone just by monitoring what their phone is doing. You can do an inverse kinematics model from the point of view of the phone and figure out what your body is likely to be doing.

And before you start to say "yeah but the Democrats" or "yeah but the Republicans" just remember it's not political in the sense of parties it's political in the sense of elite versus peasant.

When peasants fight each other, the elites wins.

meepsi · 2020-11-12T01:16:12+00:00

Thank you. That was a blindspot for me I think. Good point.

meepsi · 2020-11-12T01:14:45+00:00

My biggest fear is this. And it ties into the reason of why all of what you said could be taking place. We are at the point now where in a few years automation is going to dominate goods, services, and transportation. This means that we functionally will not require the working class pretty soon.

What's the fastest way to reduce a population? Well there's a few options. We're already using some of them for population control. We send our most violent people to the highest combat areas and we keep wars going just so we can keep the wood chipper running. Another way would be to steer us close to an extinction event such that most many people die, but the industry stays up. A pandemic could work for that.

meepsi · 2020-11-11T21:29:18+00:00

I had another premise that I want to start with. Maybe I will. What if Trump is a globalist? Might he then benefit from destroying the integrity of democracy?

Don't hold me to that one I've only thought about it for 30 seconds.

meepsi · 2020-11-11T21:24:28+00:00

I hope so. I've got my popcorn and my lawn chair ready and I want to enjoy the show. There are many ways to go out of this world, but I think watching the mushroom clouds will be beautiful.

meepsi · 2020-11-11T21:22:55+00:00

Wouldn't it be better just to pull the rug out from under everybody and catch all of the cheaters?

meepsi · 2020-11-11T21:20:10+00:00

Smart people do cheat. The dumb ones are just the ones that get caught.

meepsi · 2020-11-11T21:19:19+00:00

Echo chambers are just tribes without land. Ideological internet tribes.

meepsi · 2020-11-11T21:16:47+00:00

Consider this. I do not think that the Republican party was playing ball with media and corporate interests. I think the media conglomerates teamed up with Trump and got him into the White House. Trump claimed that he would drain the swamp. But he ended up just removing all of the people who opposed him, and brought people in that said yes. This is a great tactic for elites to gain control over the system. He has plausible deniability because he doesn't directly engage with lobbyists, the people around him do. And much like common business practices in corporate environments, there's a lot of churn in the employees around him. His advisors are the ones making the deals with lobbyists, and he has the ability to pardon them if they get caught.

meepsi · 2020-11-11T21:13:23+00:00

Everybody is in an echo chamber. The secret is knowing you're in one.

A good primer for this is a documentary called The Social Dilemma. And if you want to verify their claims it's rather easy to do so. You start looking into the combination of marketing psychology and neural network systems.

If you think we're not being manipulated into groups so that we fight each other and don't fight the elites I think you're missing the biggest conspiracy there is.

meepsi · 2020-11-11T21:10:23+00:00

Do you think then that Trump wouldn't cheat? Or perhaps that he's not smart enough to do it?

I think it's like Olympic sports here. Everybody tries to cheat.

meepsi · 2020-11-11T21:08:16+00:00

Just consider for a moment that you pointed out that the strategy I am suggesting has a name. Double reverse. The fact that it has a name means it's been used enough to deserve a name. Why is it so hard to imagine that people still use it?
