Like I said, I was agreeing with your title. Thought we were going to have an interesting conversation on AI generated rage bait. Here we are instead.

Technically, I didn’t read the post, but agreed with your title. Then all of your comments after I’ve accused of baiting, but yeah maybe the post was just to bait too.

Stop trying to bait us.

No. No it was not. None of them have been.

Let’s take your first question.

Honest question, are you good just passively watching all this MAGA shit spread?

There was nothing honest about this. I said I didn’t want to read the Facebook post. An honest question would have been:

I know there are many reasons why not you but why don’t you want to go on Facebook?

That’s an honest question.

You had a very obvious agenda. You are obviously trying to bait me into some argument, which I am not getting into with you. Your question was completely dishonest, because it both did not ask me about anything relevant to what I said, and there was also no way for me to answer you without you having a fully planned response.

We aren’t taking the rage bait. That’s for Facebook. Stop trying to bait us.

Why do you turn everything into an inflammatory question?

Asus has always just chased after the short term goals. This reminds me when they suddenly made android tablets, and mini pcs, and every stupid tech fad. They’re always after the latest fad, they release a subpar product, and then it fizzles.

Me watching it isn’t going to help anything.

Not going to look at the link, but I see it’s Facebook, and from my last experience over a year ago it was well over 90% AI generated rage bait

I’d have to check, I’d say slightly above average. All of my appliances and HVAC are electric now, and I have a fair amount of other electrical use. If we include the EV, well above average. I don’t expect to ever get 100% off grid, but I wonder what percentage makes it worth it

I’ve been wanting to, but I only have one southern-facing roof and I can only get a few panels on there. Do you think it’s worth it for partial power?

5 years ago we talked and talked about how proud we were of our nurses. Here we are.

Takes six fully grown adults with assault rifles to go up to one nurse in scrubs

There was an interesting study done. A group was asked if smoking should be banned in outdoor cafes. Most said yes, it smells and forces everyone to inhale it.

Then they were asked if high-polluting vehicles like trucks should be banned from streets with outdoor cafes. Most said no.

The dots cannot be connected for some.

Thanks to Hollywood and the media, plus most Americans not even having a passport let alone using it, people really do believe stereotypes

I know midwesterners who truly believe the Middle East is all one story clay shambly shacks, that everyone lives in a single room, and there’s a permanent sepia filter on.

They only know it through Western media, and that media usually only portrays it for standard set pieces.

I’ve learned that any bar for entry significantly cuts down on spam. Turns out people are lazy and reactionary. Some may do that, but it’s very few compared to those who want to troll right now.

Same thing with basic things like asking a question at sign up, or email verification. The most basic sign up things block 95% of spam

That brand new accounts coming here to stir shit up should be banned. Actually I’m pretty sure everyone here thinks that.

My take is that you keep posting hot takes on here, trying to stir the pot, and then when called out you say it’s just a joke bro

Yeah I tried tabby too and they had like a mandatory "we share your code " line and I hoped out. Like if you’re going to do that I might as well just use claude

I told him he could either have his racist and hateful views of people, people that include my friends and mentors, or he could have a relationship with his son.

So it’s been 9 years now, I’ll let you know when I hear back on his answer.

How dare us peasants have concerns about what they are doing
