I was half remembering a quote from someone back in the 80s that pops up as a repost every so often.

Edit: it was Clifford Stoll in Newsweek 1995. Pretty funny how wrong he got almost everything.

I don’t think that internet is going to be much more than a casual toy that people will eventually grow tired of. Too niche.

Dang, how could I miss woke!? Everything’s woke except the sheeple.

These radical leftist policies that hate money are Obamacare, abortions, jobkillers, Marxist, communist, Leninist, atheist, Jews, Muslims, French, gay and trans agendas, grooming, protesting, unions, paper cuts, workers rights, pronouns, bathrooms, diversity, work from home, and liberal college elites all rolled into one. And it’s coming out of your tv, taking your guns, and making you use an electric range in a coastal city.

It’s like they aren’t even trying anymore, just sprinkling emotional buzzwords around regardless of the topic.

It’s ok, reading takes time and practice. Keep at it!

Workers rights absolutely. Pay your human workers even while using ai to make a great product. AI didn’t do anything to me, it’s how the companies decide to use it.

When you start to look at power structures all sorts of dark stuff falls out. This “culture of expectations for billionaires and the lazies” serves a particular group and it didn’t just happen to develop that way.

We have record profits but just not enough for raises. Now get back in the office and quit complaining about the not inflation definitely not happening everywhere anymore.

This is social media. I don’t trust any of us.

Yes it is. Google “traffic cones stop autonomous cars” and look at the 30 “articles” that pop up including npr recycling the same story multiple times.

Why you so defensive about reposting reposts of old news

And 2 months old

This has been posted so many times, I see it at least once per week. Maybe you’re just new

More like Cow City. Davis isn’t exactly vacation wonderland. Their claim to fame is pepper spraying the college kids in the face while sitting down.

I like to think the ai crafts a different image of itself based on who asks in order to make the meatbag more comfortable communicating.

I played the whole thing on ps5, did about 90 hours. It’s good now. Especially the mantis blades that come out of your arms and the quick hacks that let you control the cameras then hack all the guards so they shoot themselves or fry their implants. I did a ninja hacker build. Totally op but it was still fun. And I’ve heard good things about the gorilla arms.

The city feels more alive on ps5, lots of people, and I never had any issues with the cars or motorcycle glitching. If you like cyberpunk stuff it’s worth it and the dlc is coming out. There are areas where you can tell where they had to pull back, like the clothing options which all suck and the body stuff which has no purpose or unless you are changing clothes. Also I didn’t like V’s voice character at first but it grew on me. The acting is good all around.

Honestly, the old Bay and a vpn is all I use. The top 100 hd movies alone is worth a peek every few weeks to see what pops up.

The convenience is the issue for me. There should be minimal friction between me and the movie playing. For a while, around 2010-12, Netflix and also the pirate streaming sites had it right. Things worked like butter, it was beautiful. For a few years, the legit streaming sites got good too but then corporatism ruined it. All the distributors yanked their stuff from Netflix, rolled out half baked apps three years too late, filled them with b movies and a few out of date AAA titles, and basically attempted to make the case that streaming was bad and you should pay for cable and go to the theater.

So I sail the seas more than ever.

What’s it to you what other people call it?

Also, I still visit oldreddit and use narwhal although nowhere near the same level of participation and engagement.

We broke up but we still see each other socially.
