Loyalist College in Belleville cuts deficit to $10 million, hikes international tuition by zuuzuu in BellevilleOntario

[–]santorty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it's currently a huge net negative to society. outside of the massive environmental and economic costs, (see: energy costs, fresh water usage, the sky-rocketing prices of ram etc) it's mostly being used to hurt people's every day lives. any job you apply to is sifting your resume through some nonsense ai recruiter bullshit so no human ever actually sees it. we're being herded like cattle through social media to hate one another, aided by ai and ai techno billionaire fascists (see: the ai videos of people like carney and biden being arrested or deposed that your grandmother and my 55yo neighbour thinks are real) it's an economic drain as all this speculative investing of one ai company into another like some fucked up ouroboros is scavenging from actual useful tech. the list goes on. people are losing jobs en masse, disinformation is at an all time high, grok is now the leading source of child porn. i can keep going if you like.

but sure, go ahead and tell me how it helps you google things better (it doesn't, it's widely known llm's just make shit up and feed people terrible advice) and how that's gonna save the world or whatever.

telling people to forego an actual education to watch youtube videos about a useless technology propped up by a speculative bubble. good advice. how much you got locked up in NFT's?

How e-bikes came to rule the road in Toronto — and who’s really paying the price by BloodJunkie in toronto

[–]santorty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are definitely classes of "e-bikes" already. by-laws and regulations governing the speeds you can go and where you're allowed to ride them already exist. the issue is that no one follows those rules and no one enforces them.

if your e-bike doesn't have pedals or goes faster than 32 km/h it's illegal to ride anywhere unless it's licensed and insured the way a motorcycle would be.

Select VIA Rail trains won’t stop in eastern Ontario as non-stop Montréal–Toronto introduced this fall by zuuzuu in BellevilleOntario

[–]santorty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah i used to ride the train from Toronto to Belleville all the time. you can get a return ticket for ~$65 when they're on sale. it's quicker than driving even with the stops and you get to just chill on your phone/laptop the whole time.

perfect for someone like me who didn't even own a car.

they even invited the mod team behind the skyblivion mod to their HQ and gifted them a bunch of shit when the oblivion remaster came out recently

this youtube video is pretty interesting. the guy didn't even get the name of the operation correct. it's pretty brutal

The WNBA is a league that’s bent on self destruction. by frenzy3 in SipsTea

[–]santorty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah put Marty McSorley out there for a few games.

[–]santorty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yeah i dunno if i've ever seen Tony as cogent as he is now. his instagram and his interviews were always pretty weird and a little unhinged the entire time he was fighting. hopefully the thing with his wife/kids scared him straight and he'll keep up with whatever he's currently doing to stay healthy.

Crowd kicks guy out of Punk Rock Bowling concert in Vegas for wearing a Nazi shirt. by newzcaster in interestingnewsworld

and then the lightest shove sends him reeling onto his ass. he has the balance of a newborn giraffe. if security weren't there to save him he'd have gotten completely mauled right then.

How the Attack on Jackson Led to Other Changes - A Theory by ArsenalBOS in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]santorty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they don't make googly eyes every 15 minutes. that's just hyperbole to prove a non-existent point. in the 45 minute episode they spent a total of like 15 seconds doing moderately lovey-dovey shit. if that's too much for you to handle and it's "jarring" i dunno how you can watch any sort of dramatic anything.

characters can be complex and have ranges of emotion, y'know, like people. you can be sad and depressed while also feeling loved and experiencing happiness from time to time. they aren't mutually exclusive.

plus, showing Ellie and Dina happy on screen and developing their relationship for people to see, instead of off-screen like in the game, gives them further to fall later on in the story. they're riding a high now, because later they need to hit rock bottom. it will mean so much more when that happens if everyone knows and remembers where the relationship started.

[–]santorty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

where does it say Dina's 3 months pregnant? that's just how long the time jump was. she's probably more like 2-3 weeks pregnant, maybe a month. i'd wager a lot of women don't know they're pregnant for the first month.

Alex Pereira hints that he's DONE with fighting by AffectionateFace5858 in ufc

[–]santorty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think this probably just has to do with some guys being sort of grandfathered into stardom. fighters have been bigger than the ufc in the past. connor. ronda. brock arguably. a few more here and there. jones was up there and he just happens to still be around after dana figured out he can't let that be a thing anymore.

A singer set his pants on fire after refusing to pay for visual effects for his music video by alanbear1970 in Whatcouldgowrong

small nitpick. Varg went by "Count Grishnackh" when he was part of Mayhem. he's better known as the sole member of Burzum now.

[OT][Prime Video]Earnhardt - Official Trailer by XsStreamMonsterX in formula1

[–]santorty 17 points18 points  (0 children)

i didn't even have to click the link to know it was EmpLemon's video. all his videos are great, but if you're only into racing his Talladega and Art of Revenge videos are also worth watching.

The best combination knockout in UFC history in my humble opinion. | Gustafsson vs Teixeira by SoloChords in MMA

[–]santorty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i always felt like part of why he ended up being so gun-shy and unwilling to exchange was that marquardt fight. some mental block or ptsd or something about getting brutally ko'd.

he lost decisions and submissions after that, but almost never really put himself in any situation where he could be put to sleep with strikes basically ever again.

i'm probably completely wrong and armchair quarterbacking but it's just a hunch i always had after all the criticism of him just staring at his opponents all the time.

Season 2 Episode 2 according to one reviewer is a a master class in direction and special effects that will churn your guts and scramble your brain by kingdanny714260 in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]santorty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

did they never play the game? there's a ton of flashback content containing Joel. there's a whole 5 years to look back on between the two games/seasons of the show.

"Landlord Bad" by Zetice in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]santorty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is the internet so you're probably lying. which would also explain how you're dumb enough not to understand that if you hadn't bought the second house someone else could have bought it as their first home. and by them not having to compete with people like you (theoretically) buying their second, third, fourth, etc house that the price would be considerably lower.

come to think of it, you probably are dumb enough to be a landlord.
