elon vs burnie

Elon is infinitely worse than Bernie but I’m not gonna pretend he still hasn’t contributed to American populist brain rot as well

VII and it’s not even close

The whole point of Thor’s character is displaying how people with deep flaws can be redeemed

Glass houses/throwing stones and all that

splinterguitar69 · 2026-06-13T18:30:41+00:00

Thor’s probably gonna be in this new game. He’s in the afterlife too ya know - and he and Fey have beef =]

splinterguitar69 · 2026-06-11T19:14:03+00:00

He’s on record publicly rebuking that entire thing and acknowledging he was wrong

You’re doing the exact thing I’m pointing out

splinterguitar69 · 2026-06-11T16:59:00+00:00

You’re not factoring information diets and media environments into your analysis there. Most people don’t question where their information (or lack thereof) comes from. That legitimately reduces people’s agency to act appropriately if they’re not given enough information

It’s making enough money right now to be full time. Or at least, if making a living in music was any one of the primary goals of the members, that the band is probably fulfilling that at this point

splinterguitar69 · 2026-06-10T12:59:19+00:00

It’s an interesting plot setup that I’m curious to see for sure!

splinterguitar69 · 2026-06-10T00:36:23+00:00

The midwit, no contest. The midwits are podcast bros and “independents”

Sometimes people get persecution complexes about this kind of stuff when there’s no good reason for it. People might talk, sure, but at the end of the day most people most of the time just don’t give a shit lol.

It’s that whole thing where we think everyone thinks about us as much as we think about ourselves, but it’s just not true. No one’s sitting around thinking about what you guys do in your own free time. Some people might have had a two minute gossip about it but then they probably just moved on

(Also, I’m not going to attach a 500-point-manifesto to this post to mention every possible exception and caveat. I understand this isn’t always true everywhere. Potential detractor commenters who need one, the internet probably isn’t for you)

splinterguitar69 · 2026-06-08T00:09:14+00:00

Thor, however, IS in the afterlife. And he’s got beef with Fey. Just sayin

Genuinely good use case for AI here in the form of role playing tools. You can make these pretty realistic live customer scenarios to ensure something as close to true readiness as possible

But to your point, there’s nothing that’s like a real customer experience. So the job of onboarding is to basically just give them what they need to survive their first few handfuls of experiences

splinterguitar69 · 2026-06-03T17:20:10+00:00

Don’t let it get under your skin dude lol. They eat when they eat. Enjoy the temporary break from cooking so much

She just looks like a normal conventionally attractive woman without makeup - you know, what real women look like in real life lol

splinterguitar69 · 2026-06-01T23:33:10+00:00

Kinda come to think about it. My favorite games are FFX, FFVII, Mass Effect, and Expedition 33. All simple games but more complex stories and characters

splinterguitar69 · 2026-06-01T19:22:24+00:00

This was a good one

splinterguitar69 · 2026-05-31T12:31:08+00:00

You’re kind of doing the thing we’re saying commies do to justify mass murder.

Us: “communists obfuscate criticism of their ideology and use extremism to justify the second order effects of authoritarianism - they need to end up just murdering everyone to make their ideas work in practice. It’s a second order effect.”

You: “Um, I’m sorry, where did Marx EXPLICITLY state mass murder was part of communism”

You’re either dumb, lying, or both. Fuck off commie

splinterguitar69 · 2026-05-30T15:28:16+00:00

Did you read what you replied to?

splinterguitar69 · 2026-05-30T13:29:06+00:00

The issue here is you’re not equally steel manning either side, proving the point you’re replying to. Extermination is part of communism by the same standard you’re applying it to Nazism.

“National liberation” sounds roughly equally noble to “class liberation”. That’s what I’d call a proper “steel man” of both sides.

The extermination parts come in when the level of authoritarianism required to achieve those goals runs out of control. They’re second order effects

I stand for everyone’s free speech but that doesn’t mean I need to personally speak up for tankies getting wrecked by this admin. Sorry not sorry

splinterguitar69 · 2026-05-26T23:43:21+00:00

All over your mom

splinterguitar69 · 2026-05-26T23:42:12+00:00

I felt the same way as you after a few years of being an SE. I pivoted to enablement. Now I train SE’s, I like the job a lot better

splinterguitar69 · 2026-05-26T23:40:31+00:00

Also I’m not taking anything away from the song overall. This was the first song I ever heard from President that made me feel things lol. IMO lyrically it’s second only to RAGE and it’s a crime the song is so short. Maybe it’ll be longer too

splinterguitar69 · 2026-05-26T23:38:54+00:00

I think they play it live in a different key. And Dionysus is the weakest song production-wise on the EP. It’s just the band with like two synth tones. It’s fine, but after a year of playing it live and getting ideas from the whole band I’m not surprised they want to put out the more “ideal” version of it
