i’d have more respect for that site and the people behind it if they were launching emulators with the entire rom libraries and said to nintendo ‘fuck off and sue me.’
shows how pussy they actually are when it comes down to it.
also, think about how people went to college/graduate school to code these games lol.
waste of life.
end-users are rarely prosecuted or sued over piracy so idk why corporations wouldn’t get the same deal.
this is a big nothingburger if you wanna be honest.
piracy is much like drugs, where the occasional dealer gets nabbed if they’re too ostentatious but otherwise things just go on and on and on and on.
explain why an AGI would propel intellectual and economic growth past its creator’s peers.
we already feed all of human knowledge into these dumbass chatbots and don’t get anything out of it other than super-autist pattern recognition.
“but if it could thin, it would immediate solve all the problems plaguing humanity” – says the dumbass AI bro.
where does that come from though?
everyone in American movies and TV is a savant or aspiring to be one; they’re not just a hacker or a tailor–they’re the best at what they do!!! they have skills unseen even by the oldest gods. they can create a perfect dress in 20 minutes flat that’ll wow the most critical Vogue editorialists; They can hack into the most secure system in a matter of minutes!
lol @ pushing ethical consumerism in 2026. let me just shop at the place that isn’t actively trying to kill everyone!!!
that’ll make a real difference!!!
why is that rational but 100% pure milk is ok?
the milk that we’re sold is for fucking cows. how much more ‘unnatural’ can you get? would you go cuddle a cow and drink from its tit?
i don’t even buy any of the dangers of artificial sweeteners. can you even create a study where someone is indulging in aspartame and also not eating/drinking one of the other 34983048304834 chemicals we’re taking in on a daily basis?
even if it is bad on some level, fruit juice is worse strictly going by sugar/calorie content unless it’s squeezed straight from the fruit, which nobody is doing, other than weirdos.
these people always look like out of touch assholes lol.
i doubt we have even one working class person left in a position of power.
even the last name langley is telling. i went to american public schools and you’d rarely if ever encounter anyone with a unique last name unless they were hella ethnic, even if that meant french canadian or italian.
the rise of the nepo baby last name.
gen-z and alpha don’t know anything about computers.
frankly, i have no idea how anything is even maintained. it’s probably on the backs of millions of first and second-gen immigrants.
some of these dumbasses i work with can’t even navigate basic windows features–and these are college bound young adults.
if you take away their wealth what have most of these celeb billionaires accomplished? zuck created a website that got popular that wasn’t even the first of its kind. it was just popular…
and if it disappeared tomorrow i wouldn’t give two fucks. humanity survived for thousands of years without facebook and instagram and it hasn’t been a benefit to society. it didn’t solve a problem that needed to be solved–we already had myspace and photobucket and the local classified ads.
why are we treating rich people like celebrities just for being rich, especially ones who don’t impact your life in any positive way? that’s the real issue.
i never knew who the CEO or creator of gillette was even though i shave my face every day. that guy deserves more recognition.
everyone is braindead. it’s by design.
if you’re even reading this, you’re in the top 10% of american minds, and you probably skim the post for sensationalist and/or opinion affirming details.
the reason for it is implied by looking into who he is and what he does. he’s not only a journalist but:
Matthew Petti is an assistant editor at Reason and a proud New Jersey native. He has previously reported for the BBC (in Persian and English), The Intercept, The Daily Beast, New Lines magazine, Responsible Statecraft, Middle East Eye, and The National Interest, among other publications. Matthew covers U.S. national security policy and its interactions with American society and domestic politics.
that’s not to defend anything that went on. but we know why he was detained.
i buy my maple syrup directly from a proud american retailer in vermont. you’ve never had pancakes as good as what my wife makes on a autumn morning.
the only thing that canada exported to the USA that was worth a shit was episodes of riverdale. and that was only for madelaine petschs’s knockers.
the drama wasn’t really any better than a typical episode of as the world turns and that was cancelled.
i love duplicitous redheads though. it’s a weakness.
this article is stupid for another reason: go on youtube and look up camcorder footage of public high schools in the 90s.
absolutely NOBODY is anxious about getting filmed, and nobody has bad intentions, and nobody would write an article about it.
maybe things ARE worse but maybe the situation is more complex than meta glasses.
you can do whatever you want–you just have to be willing to pay the price. even someone living check-to-check could go back to school if they were willing to work 20 hours a day and possibly live in their car.
…just at the hope of having a house in the suburbs lol.
here’s my perspective as an old man: unless you have enough money to NOT WORK for the rest of your life or are on the track to retire much earlier than 65, you don’t really have shit. at least nothing worth feeling superior about.
you do however have dreams and passions that could possibly be fulfilled despite your financial situation.
the person in the OPs story is just driven by justice and possibly revenge. but it’s not as big a deal if you frame it like that.
the windows operating system moves me at warp speed along the information superhighway. shouting out a belated ‘hi’ to any other travelers zooming past me in this vast frontier.
can journalism please stop digging deep into the cambridge to pull out words like ‘wheedles?’
i’ve been on this earth for almost 50 years, and i’ve read thousands of texts and never seen that word fucking ever.
you should NOT have to look in the dictionary to read pop culture drivel. these dipshits are just trying to justify their privileged educations, and the ironic thing is that none of them can write for shit despite needing a private school/ivy league pedigree to churn out vacuous thinkpieces for teen vogue and futurism (whatever the hell that is).
need 500 rooms just to do nothing lol.
i just think it’s funny a castle costs 10% of a superyacht.
shows you how much these people matter on a historical scale. he’s flexing on us but pretty fucking lame compared to billionaires in 2346 who’d have megaships travelling through the cosmos.
take a moment to laugh at this loser. have fun in your castle while you check your smartphone on the toilet, asshole. i can do that in pissant suburbia.
the memory of china spans 3k years. think about that. we dwell hard and long about the history of america and that only goes back a few hundred. and that was a time full of witch hunts, slavery and other controversial topics that’d make a great movie but come off as embarrassing in reality.
we came up with the television and the atom bomb–i say big deal. the chinese were there through thousands of years of advancements and follies, enduring and enduring and keeping their national strength through the unbearable weight of millennia. this is when americans can’t go without their smartphone for 60 seconds and believe in nothing other than legal tender.
industrial capitalism is 200 years old, the chinese are as old as mars in comparison. put that in your pipe and smoke it.
isn’t the cause all just cultural mumbo jumbo?
how are these women any different in essence from women jailed over marijuana or taken by ICE over immigration violations?
should anyone be treated like this for any reason? that’s the real question.
