Is dysphoria hoodie a common meme or am I just confused?

Bro will be devastated when he learns about rivers and the ocean 😔✊

From the recent Tom Scott upload I learned a group of ferrets are called “a business”. We need more silly names to refer to multiple items. The layered parody of a pair of a pair of scissors is indeed tickling my silly bone.

The ogligarchs found a way to make people pay to become stupider whilst simultaneously reducing our capabilities to be self-sufficient and improving their wages by making us be content with less.

Short breadown, AI reduces our capability of critical thinking. Instead of researcing a topic the kids just reach for CHATGPT today. This is being done while simultaneously making search engines more and more garbage, attempting to make AI the new search engine norm. This is bad for a myriad of reasons but I think its mainly because censorship and narrative control is easier to exploit with an LLM than a search engine.

Somehow they made us pay for this. Yet another “service” we do not own and are being set up to pay for recurringly.

The massive amount of hardware required for the expansion of AI also plummeted the hardware market for consumers. Also very effective way to ensure no one owns their own computer, since they cant afford it. This being done whilst corporations like Google, NVIDIA and NZXT has already tried to create “rental computers” really drives home the point that they dont want you to own it. Its of course great for them to not have any responsabilites for their products, warranties or reliabilities.

On top of all this we become stupider in the process, compliant and most effectively less “sought after” on the job market, making us cheaper for labour. Its a great circle. Truly the CEO mindset. Only the filthiest of trillionaires could find a way to profit of literally every step of the process.

For context, DRAM/Silicone situation stemming from the massive bulk orders for building data centers and training AI has led to hardware prices absolutely exploding. Valve released the Steam Machine with a hefty $1049 pricetag and thats not even big premium compared to buying all the parts yourself. The destruction of ownership has never been more apparent than now.

The example was mostly a shitpost but it got the point across. And yes, ignorant/stupid people will always exist, en-masse actually. For varying reasons, be it cultural, education, emotional, religious or just pure ignorance, people end up in shit because they have different outlooks, needs and experiences. The reasons seldom matter to me since its usually not the victim that actively tries to end up in the shitter but the perpetrator that actively attempts to exploit them.

Luckily companies arent people, no matter how much US government wants them to be. They should, to the nit-pickiest of levels, be restricted by the law and punished when they break it.

Victim-blaming to me seems inherently ignorant in itself. How does one even come up with the idea of blaming someone whos the victim of the crime? No matter how ignorant or naive they seem. And especially when its from a well-known shit company like Microslop?

Idk what reason youd have to buy that and its honestly irrelevant. Just because a company is known for being shit doesnt mean we should just accept it and start calling people stupid when they get fucked over.

“Oh you decided to get treatment from USA Medicality Corp. Inc. and they killed you and your entire family. Damn youre such an idiot theyve been killing families for years!” is a bad take if you ask me. The company should be held liable for their actions.

I hate AI, dont get me wrong. But could you train an AI to reverse engineer serverside logic and structure based on packets? For example. If I collected packet data from thousand of play sessions, could not ML be used to train an AI to recognize the logical patterns? Just a thought several CEOs would probably behead me for having.

Victim-blaming is the real stupidity here. Microsoft harasses its customers (again) and now the customers are the idiots?

This is the same type of propaganda Nvidia is trying to push. Jensen Huang saying “people should have planned better, the rising prices of hardware was imminent” is the exact same tactic of being the cause of the problem and still putting the blame of everyone else.

Office attire 👌

I feel like this is more of a “scrolling in the sunlight” thought than a “shower” thought

Mullvad on 24/7 except when some things break. My bank app wont allow logins with it for example so i switch it off temporarily for that.

4€ a month for a VPS. Used to host a wireguard VPN and make my home server publicly accessible with restrictions

25€ a year for the domain name.

Smells copium right winger to me. But at the same time, a right wing extremist party member looking for party leader position wanted to fund “research on how feminization and declining intake of red meat correlates to increasing numbers of left leaning voters” so we cant all have brain cells ✊😔

I know theres nicotine pouch brands with up to 200mg per pouch. Idk how this person ended up in this state but i would guess they werent a regular nicotine user before.

I use nicotine pouches myself, not trying to defend it, its obviously bad. Compared to inhaling the giga cancer smoke from ciggarettes i do still believe it is better though. Although idk which crazy people go for the “end my life instantly” strengths.

Recently found the first friends that i put that level of trust into and I can not explain how much it is way different than a therapist. Your partner holds a special place, but that also comes with alot of its own issues. For me there was alot of extra pressure purely because they are the one i care about the most. That hindered me from being as open as i wanted in certain situations and could not stay true to neither them nor myself. Having friends that you trust enough to do that with but where the stakes are “lower” makes that way easier. A therapist could do that but its usually way more time consuming, expensive and less fulfilling than having people that already know and thay respect you to whom you can open up and discuss with. It is also just way more “real”, heart-to-heart and human in a way a therapist can not be.

Aight thats cool and all but wtf is bros build? Giving me same vibes as that one pic of Felon Husk.

This. Very good mashup nonetheless. Truly a timeless classic.

I just run uMatrix and AdNauseam on Zen. If a banner shows up after allowing scripts its the good ol’ right click > block element.

Any source on that? As a european i am very interested on reading up on this!
