private/self-hosted smtp servers i imagine. it just doesn’t strike me that these email services that offer free inboxes would be any good for privacy concerns (proton mail, tutanota, whatever). but they’re good to sign up for shit i suppose.

these takes are weird, Somerton was being cited as an authority on queer topics outside of the youboob sphere, which makes his takedown a bit more bigger than a beef between online types. dude was not only a plagiarist, he was also a known falsifier. it’s just plain old academic dishonesty, the sort of thing that would make the news if this had happened on an actual campus. we’re now in an era where bonafide pundits are taking fucking video essays at face value, B-list celebs like Neil Gaiman find out Hbomb uploaded a new video hours after it gets posted. Somerton’s channel was going to be his platform towards building a movie studio ffs. we’re in a new world where youtube is mainstream and things that happen there are now felt in meatspace.
*1960s voice* i hate my wife
lmaoooo
he’s jewish
i bought the thing because the cans look kinda cool tbh, not even the tea shit, the sparkling water which is virtually indistinguishable from any other sparkling water brand except 3x more expensive. it’s rare that i come across liquid death on the shelves anyway so it’s not like something i’m going to keep buying. it’s just a novelty item mostly.
insofar as jesus was crucified in order to deliver humanity from sin, god gave up his own son, which is reflected in the ritual of the eucharist: jesus’ blood and flesh gives sustenance to his church. i think it’s a cool ritual personally, i’m not sure if other religions have the sacrifice of its own prophet as a foundational belief.
yeah they noticed there wasn’t a significant difference between zoomers and millenials, which why would it exist, they’re on average a decade apart, it really isn’t a huge unsurmountable gap. spongebob has been on the air for far longer than this, so we mostly consumed the same cultural artifacts during our formative years. i’m not as cynic as to say it is completely useless, but the gaps between generations are arbitrarily short and thus they become meaningless
I think (white) boomers did have a significantly different experience compared to every other generation irt to access to material wealth, but I believe this is strictly US phenomena lol (Mexico doesn’t have this overwhelming conservative slant among old people, at least not in electoral terms). Then again, it is significant enough as to not be a completely useless I suppose.
I think it should be noted, that some of the members on the board of OpenAI are literally just techno-priests doing actual techno-evangelism, their job literally depends on this new god and the upcoming techno-rapture being perceived as at least a plausible item of faith. I mean it probably works as any other marketing strategy, but this is all in the context of Microsoft becoming the single largest company stakeholder on OpenAI, likely they don’t want their money to go to waste paying a bunch of useless cultists so they started yanking Sam Altman’s chain. The OpenAI board reacted to the possibility of Microsoft making budget calls, and outed Altman and Microsoft swiftly reacted by formally hiring Altman and doubling down. Obviously most employees are going to side with Microsoft since they’re currently paying the bills. You’re going to see people strongly encouraged to walk out from the OpenAI board in the upcoming weeks or months, and they’ll go down screaming crap about the computer hypergod. You see these aren’t even marketing lines that they’re repeating acritically, it’s what’s some dude desperately latching onto their useless 6 figure job is screaming.
At this point, does it even matter what their spin doctors and their strategic autopsies conclude? If an electoral system only presents two options against genocide: feverish support, or guilty complicitness then it’s fucking useless, it belongs in the garbage. It sucks that it took me a genocide to really really recognize how useless partisan electoralism is, because it’s hard to dispell the illusion that maybe it’ll give you some crumbs if the right guy comes along. Nope, not even in the face of genocide will it cede an inch.
Damn I almost forgot to post it this year, happy anniversary. What kind of moron wishes themselves a happy birthday anyway?
BRAVO!! TRÈS BIEN!!! HONHONHON
JE M’APELLE MITTENS!!!
im built different
haha… yea… i feel sad for them also…
there’s degrees to “falling for that shit” though. the cost of minting an NFT is literally negligible for the coca cola company, and the upside is enormous if it becomes an irrational market like bitcoin was. otoh, making a game centered around NFTs is sad as fuck, those people got screwed hard.
also, this is just my perception, but it could’ve been the other way around even. bitcoin became an irrational market because there was some purity to its conception: it was merely an unfeasible currency theory put into action, so libertarians could masturbate over it. as lousy as the theoretical pinnings of bitcoin are, there were no companies getting in on the action from the getgo. it wasn’t meant to be a casino, it just devolved into one. companies getting day one onto the NFT train just made it way more obvious that it was meant to extract profit from compulsive gamblers, and the unsightliness accelerated their demise. it was just too on the nose for most people.
lmao yeah, i’ve been saving money like fucking mr scrooge this year believing that at some point this year there were going to be massive cuts, and i was right! there were massive cuts, except i didn’t get the axe. so now i have months worth of savings, probably a year if i get really really frugal (just rent, and amenities and basic food stuff) and i’m sooo tempted to just quit and do nothing. take the chance to work out in public parks or something. write a book. start a psych rock band. make a video game.
it’s like eating solero split lime ice cream with a hint of cotton candy
i could’ve told them sweet and sour go well together but i guess chatgpt can tell them that too
it is, that fact solidifies her position as basically an immenesly overpaid 4chan mod.
oh right right i forgot about that lol
