It’s weird seeing how “the algorithm” has genuinely only made things worse. Falling into the YouTube rabbit hole was a thing, and it was entirely organic. From the loose connections of topics, you could start from any feel good funny video, and end in detailed documentary about MK Ultra.

The best algorithm was no algorithm and there’s no way of ever going back to that. I feel pretty lucky to have experienced the internet before it became everything.

If you got the message, hang up the phone.

I finally got insurance. Now if only I had sex.

So corporations use ai and bots themselves in order to inflate their stats and steal money from investors and share holders(see Reddit) and its all cool. Someone does that but it costs the corporation some money. Straight to jail.

Seriously, how has the reddit IPO which was offered to users not been a fraudulent scheme due to the website statistics being based on genuine user interaction with no mention of auto reposting or bots that are either operated by or hired by reddit?

It genuinely seems like the next ponzi scheme but that would require so many federal agencies that stopped giving shit and learning how the world works to see any peep into that business.

But what do I know, I’m just some average Joe that gets audited over a $300 mistake on annual taxs which I have to pay a private third party more than that to do.

One restart post-update restarts changed it and helped, but something was still off. Took me like 30 minutes but it looks like my nvidia HDMI audio output got reset to a really low 16 bit sample rate. Got that set back to a decent 24 bit and its closer, but something is still off. I don’t think I had any settings/levels/enchanments.

I just updated and now my audio sounds like shit.

Fun fact: potassium chloride is what the United States has primarily used in lethal injection which has been used to execute 1400 people since 1976.

One morning you’ll wake up and every bone in your body will pop simultaneously. Then while you lay there aching you’ll let out a 6 mimutes and 20 second fart that doesn’t have a happy ending.

Florida hates Disney because of how much power they have over the state. Daddy Disney is going to punish Florida so much harder if they let one of their little judges let this through. 100% going to arbitration.

All fast food has been racing each other to total enshitification. I used to each so much taco bell, it was never good, but decent enough for the price. I had one of the large brown bags almost completely full of fire sauce. I haven’t gone in probably a year because their food got blander and more expensive. It feels like everything is just made from nutrient paste but made to look like foods that existed in the old world.

Same, there’s still plenty of room for growth but I don’t want it to ever pass like 2012 reddit level of activity, which was still a lot. But federation tech is also a solution if I ever feel that’s a problem so meh, come on over.

I was solo lead climbing 5.11 at 21. I started climbing when I needed a child sized harness.

Why don’t people clip in? I get its like 5.4 aid climbing but walking and swapping your 2 anchors adds a trivial amount of time in order to not die IMO.

You could just stick the antenna through the foil. Antennas are just pieces of wire, which can also be made from shiny metal.

followed by actual slavery using prisoners for labor

The US already has that, they’ve always had that

The 13th amendment which “abolished” slavery:

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

That is false, firearms have been legal to carry in national parks since 2010.

This is literally the afluenza teen defense that got Ethan Couch zero jail time for killing 4 people and seriously injuring 9 while drunk driving.

This guy is too poor to drive drunk and actually has to face consequences for his actions.
