The very understated “I <3 Monster Fuck” poster is a pretty unique example of a meta joke where the reference is to the previous panel

Why does that thumbnail bring to mind some kind of white supremacist ceremony

But I haven’t even escaped the original matrix. Or the matrix reloaded.

For the antioxidants it’s healthy doctors recommend 2 bottles a night with dinner

And not even just a cookie banner. One that says “we use them, now we told you. You can’t turn them off.”

Fuck that site

Or the next one

Doesn’t Spotify offer like .5%

Yes. Yes, yes, yes. I was having this exact conversation in another thread in c/movies not three days ago. The fear of sex is just astounding to me. And it being equated only to porn was more than a little troubling.

Gross I don’t want ‘em

Have you ever raised a teenager? It’s not easy nor straightforward. But encouraging suicidal ideation…kinda is straightforward.

No, that’s mattress fishing

And the amount of fuckin tankies on lemmy who hold NK up as some ideal to be achieved is insane

Because your name is such dogshit that it makes everything around it nicer by comparison

Hah okay, fair. I rescind my lawsuit. You won’t be hearing from my lawyer.

My suggestion wasn’t even included and I’m suing.

I mean, fuck the profitability. What about its massive toll on our already crumbling climate? What about its hallucinations that were told by the massively powerful companies (currently, anyway) to just not worry about? What about the promise of it “revolutionizing” industries (corporate speak for fucking workers in new and exciting ways), what about the paradigm solidifying nature of this tech that they keep lying to us about being a democratizing super tool?

Everything about this shit is trouble because of the world it was built into. This type of tech (even though most of its capabilities and uses are lies) in the hands of the people it’s in will only serve the rich and gobble up resources when we need to be scaling back our consumption. Instead, that endless investment is fueling our climate collapse.

Fuck this LLM bullshit. It’s not for us. It will only hurt us in this timeline.

It’s a great story, and one of my favorites—I’m still replaying it. But I think the best story ever told through a video game is RDR2. But those are my two favorite games, so you really can’t go wrong either way.

I don’t think that’s actually true. Have the metrics for what we consider poverty changed and adapted with inflation and the perfecting of corporate wealth hoarding? “Poverty” is an ambiguous term, and relative poverty is real. That doesn’t show in a standard-line “poverty” metric. What was considered “extreme poverty” is the lowest, but that’s people living on under $1.90/day. I couldn’t even find information on that metric being updated to reflect the current high inflation and profit-explosion landscape.

Also: if you technically pull people out of poverty by outsourcing to the lowest paying, least labor regulated parts of the world, is the fact that extreme poverty went away in those areas even a good thing?
