I’ve been boycotting EA for decades now, but I always felt like I was the only one when I talked to people outside of specific circles. Have people grown their spines or has their quality dropped enough that no one wants their shit anymore?

No one said you have to trust either.

Because Swartz wanted a free and open web and the powers that be wanted control over every major social media website. This was around the same that moot showed up in Epstein’s emails and would later sell his site. All in the run up to the 2016 election. Now think about how /r/thedonald stayed on the site for so long.

Not so fun fact, because people out right killed every venomous snake they could see or hear, the venomous snakes evolved to be quieter over time.

Living in an old, small house for the first 10 years of my life. When I was 10, my parents built a McMansion on a hill on the farm. Rubs be the wrong way every time someone complements it.

You’re not wrong, but Columbine and 9/11 cooked American’s brains. And then algo based social media doubled deep fried it.

The fast talking lawyers were hoping no one would notice what you just pointed out.

They skipped on the foundations and the ground was soft. The rest of the construction was fine or at least good enough to outlive the footings.

I can never take anyone who complains about “Eco Fascists” that want a lower human population seriously because I always have to consider if they’re getting their views downstream of Bezos or Musk. The Elite want higher populations so we have to fight each other. Every time in history when there’s been a workers deficit, the workers got more right.

Rightstuf died for this.

There are old reviews calling that scene out when the movie was new.

edit: I’m looking for the review, but there’s so many modern reviews, that finding a scanned new paper article from 1984 is difficult.

Another example of people knowing Revenge of the Nerds ain’t right was Real Genius. The creative crew was hired by the studio to make their own Revenge of the Nerds, but they hated that movie and made a fixed version.

There’s some interview with the director of Revenge of the Nerds who defended the rapist as a “complex character.” Utter nonsense. The real concern with all this how obviously fine Hollywood was and still is with rape. What they considered normal seeped into the media they produced and normalized it to the masses watching it.

On Goonies, the name is fine and isn’t problematic. I saw Inside Job take a swipe at it for how they treated Sloth, but he was sympathetic and his abusers were his family, the villains. The two things that don’t age too well the was the Japanese People Love Gadgets, which considering it was only the one kid and his father, isn’t that bad. It’s pretty reasonable for a son to have the same hobby as his father and tech otakus are a thing. The second is the body shaming the Chunk character, which when recording the scene, made the director so uncomfortable, he paid for a gym membership for the kid. There’s a lot worse movies from the 80s to watch.

So don’t apply it to that movie.

That exists already. Archive.org has a digitization service, but then archive.org would put a public copy up and the AIbros wouldn’t be the sole owners of that training data.

There’s also methods to digitize books without destroying the book and for the purpose of AI training that should be more then sufficient. AIbros are just so arrogant to think that other people haven’t solved the problem already or that their time is too valuable to be slowed by proper methods.

Can the people tracking the cash positively know the money didn’t get passed around a couple times before getting rescanned? The value of the tracking data drops rapidly as the uncertainty increases. That’s why they’re pushing for digital payment systems so much.

I don’t remember his name, but he got moved to the education department.

Someone else had the link.

And somehow, everyone forgot that on 9/11, Trump bragged about now having the largest building in NYC. That was a lie, but I digress.

Those types really love evil imagery.

They are hurting other people by teaching young boys that they can treat women like objects.

The one that looks like it went through a press.
