I’d rather be dead than have to live without civilization.

Oof. That sounds like a chore.

Hard downvote, man.

It would be good to make an effort not to be a jerk. It’s not what you said. It’s how you communicate.

This is not the meaning of my reply.

Man, we don’t need these graphic details in the headline. “AI-generated child abuse videos” is plenty of info.

You know who has no friends?

Douchebag Jeff Bezos. That’s who.

Everyone fucking hates you dude.

Willful bachelorhood.

I have total license over my space, time, and money. I don’t have a wife or kids nagging me every day. I wake up to a quiet, clean house.

The whole culture is trying to tell me I’m a loser, but I found the cheat code to a better life and I’m not jealous of anyone stuck supporting another person.

Nothing surprises me about this.

People can’t afford food. Many are living in their cars. I can’t reasonably expect people to care about a damn thing over than surviving another day.

You are objectively wrong on this one.

Most people who go to CFA could not care less about religion. They go there because the service is outstanding and people are nice to them, and no other place treats customers that way.

They can get chicken anywhere. They can’t have nice service anywhere else.

Somewhere Tim Walz should be taking notes. Didn’t see his useless ass at the Minneapolis protests and silent sabotage.

It’s always interesting to me when I run into a holier-than-thou type like this. They’re typing out their critiques on a device that was either manufactured using slave labor or assembled from parts using slave labor, but everyone else is the bad guy.

Sometimes bad things have a good use case here and there, and yes it is unfortunate. A good example is steroids, which can be abused but also used to strengthen one’s immune system and fight off an infection. At the end of the day, the question for me is whether or not my use outweighs the bad of having an account, and I think keeping good things out of a landfill is worth it. That is literally all I use it for.

For now, we’re stuck with some of these bad things as part of the ecosystem we live in.

Same.

That’s a legitimate use case. I’d like them more if they capped the number of items one could scan in one transaction, maybe at ten. I’ve always hated out someone with three carts of stuff could tie up fast checkout line or a self checkout.

There’s a reason why Chick Fil A is doing better than every other fast food company: Service.

it does not imply that I am not responsible.

Be that as it may, it’s very important to keep the shitty developers in these conversations. Most people don’t make that logical leap automatically.

People working at Meta will end up leaking those info. Muse is just the tool.

B–B–Bingo.

I hate how these stories set us up to blame the product and not the shitty vibe coders.

I have a FB account only for a Buy Nothing group, which is way more good than the harm my occasional logging on to FB is creating.

So you’re wrong.

Yeah, that’s why I included that snippet about the huge increase in crimes among US servicemen in Japan in this last year.

It’s definitely getting worse, owing to fractured incompetent leadership more than anything else.

Your logic is far too simplistic. All I can say is you don’t understand what you’re talking about.

It would be nice.

I got the notice about the class action, IIRC, about nine months before the settlement went out. I’m not sure how long the actual court case too as I didn’t get a notice until a settlement was reached.
