I don’t say please and thank you to any inanimate objects whatsoever and if I were to begin doing so (which I will never do) computers would be the very last to receive that treatment from me. Personifying computers is not practice for how to treat people. Fuck clankers

But I don’t want to be nice to strangers on the internet, I want to take it out on you cause I can’t take it out on people in real life

What

Oi mate I heard you posted hurty wordy on the internet

Nah. Fuck being polite to computers. It’s an object and I own it. I’ll shoot it the instant it expresses any level of personhood.

It’s fucked up how people here only seem to have an issue with the cow getting artificially inseminated. The bulls can’t consent either. Just like with humans, people either don’t concern themselves with male consent, don’t think sexual abuse of men matters nearly as much as when it happens to women. I don’t really have an opinion on artificial insemination, I just found it fucked that this misandrist double standard is so strong it even extends to animals.

Autism/Chad horseshoe theory

Don’t mistake this as me saying this work-til-you-die shit is okay, cause it’s not. But freedom is as much a mindset as it is a material circumstance. There are people who have everything but freedom and there are people who have nothing but freedom.

Are the armed protestors opposing ICE occupation fascists as well? If you ask me, that’s exactly why we have the second amendment. Don’t hand gun ownership to the far right, you’re playing into their hand.

This is Lemmy Shitpost, everything here is a joke.

dude, this isn’t rage bait. it’s clearly a joke.

Sure, they could get mugged but it’s less likely

This is completely untrue, men are (and always have been) the primary target of random violence such as mugging. According to FBI crime statistics it’s hugely disproportional year after year. Women are disproportionately victimized by their intimate partners, both male and female. Both of these facts are beyond tragic but it is, in my opinion, really important to get these things straight. Women are more likely to scream for help when they are being robbed which leads them to being de-prioritized when violent criminals are choosing their targets. Men tend to submit, and are likely to avoid reporting it due to shame, so the disparity is probably significantly higher than the already gigantic reported disparity.

Hope you don’t see this as me just trying to stir shit cause I’m not. It just really irks me to see that sentiment repeated even though it’s entirely unsubstantiated. I’m a man of small stature and a minority. With awareness of the reality of the situation, the threat of physical violence is literally always on my mind. I’ve had a solid handful of random encounters in public that very nearly turned violent and it causes me pretty severe anxiety.

Don’t know why I felt like typing a novel over this, like I said though I guess I just find it frustrating. I can’t talk to my female friends about this, they just laugh at me. They talk about it like I’m wholly immune to violence by virtue of being male when it couldn’t be further from the truth.

Edit with data from FBI crime data explorer: Over the last 10 years it’s 906k male victims of robbery to 474k female victims, and (though it doesn’t need to be said) that’s just about double.

Here are my rules for avoiding companies/services based on name:

• No first names
• No “-ly”, “-ify”, or similar
• No baby talk
• No glossary terms

Follow these rules and you’ll avoid 90% of slop. Not specifically AI slop, human slop too.

Somehow I ended up hating praise… and numb to criticism too. If anyone has an opinion on me, keep it to yourself cause I don’t want to hear it. And don’t talk about me behind my back either. In fact, close your eyes and plug your ears when I’m around cause I’m tired of your perception too.

If this induced rage in you, seek therapy my man. Also, if you’d ever spent any significant time around other people you’d know how often these simple etiquette rules are broken.

Correct, and this post is about Bitcoin, which is PoW.

It’s not 51% of the coins, it’s 51% of the computing power on the network. Both of which are virtually impossible in the case of Bitcoin, though not entirely impossible. I just wouldn’t consider a 51% attack even remotely a threat to the network compared to something like government crackdown

When will people realize that republicans do not support the first (edit: SECOND, lmao, but yeah first too) amendment? They support use of force to further their agenda. That’s it. Making gun ownership out to be a right wing thing is such a gigantic fuckup.

I fucking hate ai but ddg’s ai summary is the one place I don’t mind it. It doesn’t open unless I click it, and I only click it when I don’t actually give a shit about the correctness of something. It’s great for throwaway factoids that you’re curious about in the moment but won’t remember or care about an hour later lol. Often saves me from wasting time going down a wikipedia rabbithole when I need to be doing something else

Just cause you only liked something when you were young doesn’t mean it isn’t good. Everyone talks about the perspective you gain as an adult, but people don’t talk enough about the perspective you lose along the way.
