I mean if people can figure out bot accounts and make lists of them just by looking at them, I’m pretty sure the companies that see 25000 accounts all connect from the same IP address can figure it out.

Its a webforum, not a social media.

Social media is places that revolve around shit in your real life no one cares about. Facebook, Instagram,Tiktok,Etc.

and a large part of that is the up/down vote systems, and other gamifications of human interaction.

And they’ve spread out of social media into many other website types.

All it does is extremify human interaction and is a major component in why we’re at the point we are right now with right wing extremism and fascism on the rise.

Get rid of these systems, and let people just communicate with eachother without having to appeal to a hive mind to tell people who gave up thinking if somethings good or bad based on votes/reactions/etc

No it wouldnt. It’d be a .001% reduction in users.

If you want social media to become a ghost town, ban bots/AI

“They rejected me, called me racist slurs, and demand I get out of their country before… but surely this time, THIS TIME, they’ll accept me!”

yeah.

I feel the same way about all my 1st and 2nd gen pokemon games, open, but complete in box.

I’ll probably never play the physical games again, since emulation is so much easier (and eats less batteries)…but on the otherhand, they are childhood memories and its not something i want to hand over to some greedy fuckwit whose just gonna sit on them for 6 months and flip them for 30% profit.

What wata nonsense?

The I dont really follow physical retrogaming, outside of seeing games I missed as a kid in used game stores and wanting to play them… but not being able to because its being sold for 200 dollars for a bare cart with sharpie across the back and i dont care if I have President Bribing money, I aint paying 200 dollars for that shit.

Yeah, I didnt even know until just now that there was a retail package release of Super Mario Bros, by itself, without duckhunt.

cause I thought it was just a packin game with the nes.

I can see why its rare, but its stupid that someone paid 3 million for it.

Needed to do something to distract from the epstein files, they were getting to much attention.

and it worked.

Whens the last time you saw media mention epstein? now that they’ve been spoonfed their constant IV of controversy with regards to the baseless attack on Iran?

The market manipulation with constant monday/friday announcements were just a happy bonus for their benefactors… and whens the last time you saw media mention this, either?

You can also keep a conversation going by being an insufferable cunt, Lets all thank Summzashi for providing an excellent example of this.

And have Lovander polish your guns barrel for extended periods of time.

Psychopaths naturally rise to the top in environments like large corporations, because of their ability to manipulate people and not give a fuck about hurting others.

Uncle had a truck, I dont remember what brand or what year. But I do remember him climbing into the engine bay and sitting on the front tire well to work on the engine, because I was on the other tire well watching him. and we both had absolutely loads of room to move around. more so me, being a kid, but he was a big man and he still could slither around everywhere in that engine bay to get at what needed got at.

vehicles, especially trucks, used to have an insane amount of space under the hood for working on the engine.

Someone can be educated and still be a blithering moron.

intelligence does not equal wisdom.

I’m not even a mechanic and I can tell you that no car company thinks about repairability.

Hell, just replacing a consumable like the battery can be a major chore that requires far more disassembly than anyone with a functional braincell would consider appropriate on some cars.

Speaking ill of israel is a greater act of terrorism than crashing planes into buildings.

its still illegal federally, and fed laws are above state laws.

Which is why.

fuck yeah, burn it all down.

VISA: “We wont let adults engage in consensual adult activities via our payment network becuase some religious nutjob somewhere might complain about it, but we’re gonna hand over our network to AI so it can spend all your and our money because we’re customer first”

also just a reminder there was a big password breach with instagram/meta/whatever because people asked an AI agent to give them the passwords for famous peoples accounts.

I cant wait for something similar happening on VISA, someone prompt bombing to get the AI to charge a random account and people melting down as 10s of thousands of dollars of charges appear out of no where.

“Hey guys, sure, you don’t have any forests or grasslands around where you live anymore, but the entire gobi desert has no asphault, so the % of pavement is really low so stop over reacting”
