Maybe it’s because I live in California and we have rules about this shit to a degree but I remember it being as simple as logging in and saying “end this shit bitch”

If that changed/isn’t the case elsewhere then yeah fuck em burn it

The amount of hate I get every time when I call out political opinions posted as “memes” is incredible.

Just gonna leave out the detail that you go to communities that are about the content you’re seeing to complain about said content?

mental gymnastics about how it actually counts as meme

Still too stubborn to just admit you don’t know what a meme is I see

Post reads like some violently uninformed person making a lot of… I don’t want to say racist cuz that’s not really right, but similar sentiments about Americans

Y’all are stupid cuz of your guns

Is about as stupid a thought as possible as you’re you’re claiming we are because of shooting guns and the fact that anyone in the comments is taking it seriously shows y’all have the exact same level of critical thinking skills as those you’re insulting

I think they meant the other guy for dropping the “retard” line without censoring

called a video game, but I feel like that’s for lack of a better term

Its the perfect term for it, your definition of “game” is likely incomplete:

A game is a structured type of play, usually undertaken for entertainment or fun, and sometimes used as an educational tool

Note that it’s usually for fun, but does not need to be. Flower is a game by that definition. ETA: I also actually had fun playing Flower on my Vita back when it was new so…

Adding “video” to it is probably the weaker part of the phrase, “digital” is probably more accurate but I doubt people are going to change terminology like that for something so minor

My wife and I will cuddle up most nights to continue q show we’re watching, we finish WWDITS (finale just aired) and move on to something else tonight

Though our “TV” is my local Plex instance running stuff I request through Overseerr rather than even the normal streaming platforms, so I have a much better experience than those provide

As for news and the like: YouTube, specific creators like the daily show or journalists I know have actual merit, and my local station through plexs live tv

Over a year in and no issues so far, dunno what you guys do to your USBs but all I see is whiny people with problems they themselves are causing

God you children rage so hard on these connectors, whine harder it’s fucking funny

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: for phones a headphone jack has been fucking stupid for almost a decade now

Blame the headphone manufacturers that refuse to release products with a connector that fits the vast majority of devices now, forcing adapter use, not the devices bailing on an outdated connector

Every whiny person on this topic is fucking hilarious, you’re all fucking stupid as fuck

It is when you act like adapters don’t exist

This is written by someone who’s using IEMs on a pixel, this weird obsession with jacks on the phones should have died years ago

It’s an interesting idea but I’d like to see it tried somewhere else on a large scale first.

It has been, Google is your friend

So far it’s basically always a good idea

If so, what’s the purpose of the money?

Barter and trade will always be part of humanity unless we somehow manage post-scarcity. Money is so far the best way we’ve found to manage and track the value of things for that system.

If people are choosing to buy things, that’s a free market

No, it’s just a market, and even then that’s not a guarantee at all. It could be that people just trade money for valuables amongst themselves, or other systems I’m too stupid to conceive of

If people are forced to buy specific things, it’s not really buying

Yes, it is? Its only not buying if you don’t trade money for it, ie the government sending it to everyone for free

If people are free to buy certain things but new people aren’t allowed to enter the market with new products, that’s just worse than capitalism.

Good thing that’s not anyone’s suggestion

Ah, ok, that’s actually a lot more understandable, actually

I’ve known one of the flutter-footers and never thought to ask why

Its the ISO format everyone loves but from the time before digital computers needed to sort our dates, so we put the year at the end as it’s generally the least important if something isn’t digital

I get not liking something cuz it’s different, but it amazes me how many people pretend it’s bad

I hate situations where this can happen, because other people can’t ever be fucking trusted

Its happened twice in my life that I HAD room, then as I made my way across the intersection someone who wasn’t clear in another lane almost hit me to steal my spot, then I look like the asshole

I fucking loathe the dickheads who slow down (some slamming on their brakes) IN THE LANE before suddenly turning their signal on as they pull a full 90 degree turn, rather than just signal early and coast while moving over into the turn/suicide lane

So much traffic caused by such basic garbage driving

I’ve definitely had to teach myself to stop doing that

Not trying to sound mean: what in the world made you start doing that?

Ask a quantum chip how to cure a disease?

No, that’s not how that works at all

You really think the chips actually understand diseases?

Nope

We’re gonna end up with a whole new generation of people that have no clue how the shit works to begin with.

Projecting? Its very clear you have no idea how this stuff works, that’s for sure

Granted that AI and quantum computing aren’t quite the same thing

They aren’t the same at all

Future generations will have the ability to just ask a computer how to generate cure a disease

Almost certainly an impossibility

Why do we humans even think we need to solve these extravagantly over-complicated formulas in the first place?

Because those questions could do things like cure disease or help us better understand the universe or a million other things

Shit, we’re in a world today where kids are forgetting how to spell and do basic math on their own, no thanks to modern technology.

Not because of it, either. This research isn’t really related to that kind of tech, either

Just because we can, doesn’t necessarily mean we should. We’re gonna end up with a new generation of kids growing up half dumb as a stump, expecting the computers to give us all the right answers.

This isn’t going to be for daily normal use, you’re projecting fear at the wrong tech

Japanese kids grow up learning about what they did in WW2

No, they dont
