I have to say, that’s pretty evil in a prank way.

Lol

To be sure, the Six Flags diet isn’t for the faint of heart (or really, anyone’s heart).

He was commuted.

Thank you. I’d appreciate it if you put it in the body of your text, but it’s not necessary at this point. If you post again and it’s a famous person or politician, it will need an archive link like this.

Please provide an archive link to Santos saying this. If you want to help out and do it for the OP, you all have a half an hour.

I’m already playing security and AI whack-a-mole. I think you’re right.

This reminds me that I wish there was a basic course on money and the systems around it, that explains everything like you just did. It’s not magic, but it’s obfuscated behind so many terms and people trying to sell content, that it’s not a simple thing to figure out on one’s own.

Real estate

I saw that you put a caveat in there about it, but I’m going to make it a little more clear.

If anyone here has lived through the dot.com bubble in Seattle (and probably the bay area), they’ll have seen that real estate is great if it’s paid for. If you go underwater on your loan and kicked out, which is how the banks got so much real estate in 08, you’re fucked. There *are no general rules, but guides.

I think people are painting the past with a little bit of rose colored glasses. There was less support in the 90’s, you couldn’t just look up how to do something, be yourself, or understand the basics about anything. We had a 3 “pedophiles” on our street. Were they? I don’t know, it was a rumor. There was no list. It was great in some ways and not so great in others.

Furries gone wild, maybe?

There was an art show that had a bouncy castle for adults. I think that’s a thing

I think it’s nostalgia at this point, it’s the first symbolism they understood or something.

Lol, I want to live in your world.

There are trolls. Not as many as other places, but we have them.

Once we isolate key people, we look for people we know are in their upstream – people that they read posts from, but who themselves are less influential. (This uses the same social media graph built before.) We then either start flame wars with bots to derail the conversations that are influencing influential people (think nonsense reddit posts about conspiracies that sound like Markov chains of nonsense other people have said), or else send off specific tasks for sockpuppets (changing this wording of an idea here; cause an ideological split there; etc).

The goal is to keep opinions we don’t want fragmented and from coalescing in to a single voice for long enough that the memes we do want can, at which points they’ve gotten a head start on going viral and tend to capture a larger-than-otherwise share of media attention.

(All of the stuff above is basically the “standard” for online PR (usually farmed out to an LLC with a generic name working for the marketing firm contracted by the big firm; deniability is a word frequently said), once you’re above a certain size.)

from Bannon:

“The opposition party is the media,” Steve Bannon, who helped run Trump’s 2016 campaign, told PBS Frontline five years ago. “And the media can only — because they’re dumb and they’re lazy — they can only focus on one thing at a time.”

So the solution, per Bannon? Overwhelm them.

“All we have to do is flood the zone,” he said. “Every day we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done, bang, bang, bang. These guys will never — will never be able to recover. But we’ve got to start with muzzle velocity.”

The best defense is to call them out on it and then walk away. They’ll downvote the shit out of you, but who tf cares about upvotes and downvotes. If someone is getting downvoted heavily, read what they said carefully before piling on.

What is “usage maxxing?” Also, erotica might save ChatGPT’s bottom line.
