In highschool I bought $20 in raffle tickets and won a $120 mini fridge that I used throughout college. I would get happy feelings when looking at that fridge for years.

Only positive feelings I ever got from gambling.

I tried slot machines in Vegas. Even themed ones for properties like Back to the Future were the single most boring experience I’ve ever had.

You’d think they would see mobile games and come up with a fun way to lose money, but they are just a chore.

I cannot conceive how people sit at those things. At least poker is a fun game. Never played it for money though.

Any idea if mass carbon capture could undo runaway venus-like greenhouse effects? I have no hope that humanity will put up with even minor inconveniences until lead starts melting at room temperature at the equator. It would give me hope if there was a way to undo runaway greenhouse processes.

AI has plenty of good uses. It’s not all negative. But, I think the negatives probably outweigh the positives. So much slop.

If there ever was an example of Pandora’s box, AI is it.

Remember that woman who was arrested because her phone indicated she was at a house that was burgled at exactly that time? Police just do a dragnet. Turns out she just drove by the house as it was happening.

In the above example, imagine someone did an anti Israel terror attack in the area. Everyone mentioning such things will be found via dragnet searches and who knows if you just happen to have been nearby when it happened while also making suspicios SMS messages.

Dragnets are profoundly likely to catch innocent people. Protect yourself from them however you can. That should be in everyone’s threat model.

I personally find it easier to use a separate browser for anything I don’t need to be logged in for. It deletes all cookies when closed. No need to trust the untrustworthy.

I assume Valentine’s Day.

I don’t think so? Just looked up the definition of a parasite and it needs to live at the expense of the host. Gut bacteria are beneficial I assume, so they aren’t parasitic.

It would only be parasitic if a round table was forced to be square against its desires. If a table wants to be square, the corners are being helpful.

I always assumed that every one of them had made out or had sex with her at one point.

Snowden showed us ages ago that all phone conversations are recorded. This is fact.

Do phones record what we say outside of phone calls? If you have voice control enabled, yes.

Do phones listen even if that isn’t enabled? Probably sometimes, but I don’t know that for sure.

If a specific guy was following you everywhere, that wouldn’t bother you? Having a stalker wouldn’t be a big deal?

I see no reason why it’s less disturbing if it’s done by my own phone.

I’ve found that tor canvwork. Just refresh the connection until reddit doesn’t block. Same for VPN location. Just choose other locations until one works.

It’s going to be retired though, unless something changes. All io domains will disappear.

It’s generally safer to stick to 3 or more letter domains since those aren’t tied to countries.

If full body transplants become possible, the most obvious way forward is growing bodies in vats. When you hit 30 or 40, you start up a new body using your own DNA and swap over at age 50 or 60.

I used to invert x and y. But at some point I realized that all modern games seem to support non-inverted, but only some support inverted on both axes, so I just learned to play non-inverted to save myself the hassle.

To be clear, they are not intending on creating new games based on Olympic events. They are talking about incorporating esports into the Olympics somehow.
