Yes, I overestimated the number of people who ever believed that, but the fact that it was clearly a nonzero number had been deterrent enough for me

Consider he was wrong about the creepy nerd stuff and perhaps he is wrong now. Bit it doesn't matter because one person hating him is already enough. This says a lot about him, just insane part of this article is him going: "they were mean to me so all Palestinians now should die". Unhinged shit. High amount of abuser logic here as well.

Also, doesnt he live in the US?

Really hope he doesnt teach students anymore because that will not end well.

Ow really? Tell me more.

Democratic presidential nominee for 2028 (vs trump of course) Newsom is doing a bit of ironic memecoin corruption. So many blueanon people are going to lose money if he goes along with this.

I really hope he is going to use this as a 'use the controversy to reveal the corruption of the system' style thing (in .nl a tv-show did this where they made a gameshow in which people who needed a new kidney could get one, as a ruse to spread awareness to ask for more donors and everybody participating was informed of this from the start (led to 12k new donors at least)). But I really doubt it.

Yeah, it is also sad the culture warriors are not aware they are mad about this sort of crapitalism. They think the hominization of the builds is due to the woke, and not because the mother company owns the building/land of the franchise and this no slanted roofs bit (see https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:66rbia7w4vcwiszfppfv3r2e/bafkreiacsurup26wigvedpedf44rodrwzzebfcytzdglb2bh6wjh6brbsa@jpeg), increases resale value. Just companies looking for more and more minimal minimal viable product.

Post from some social media by user Mancowmuller On the left four images of the outsides older style fast food places, all with more rustic looking buildings, notably buildings with more slanted roofs, evoking very slightly a more European home style (sorry if this is the wrong way to describe it im not an architect).

On the right four images of the outsides of four new style fast food places where the buildings look more like office buildings or simple modern stores, very blocky, lot of glass big panels/windows and flat roofs.

A big text is overlayed on these 8 shrines of American style capitalism saying 'Communism.'

Also important to note on the image, looks like the new style ones are not all real. Some of the details look off which makes me suspect it is AI generated. Esp the pizza hut one.

Mentioned it on bsky, more externalizing of the costs of their product. And due to vpns will not even work in a lot of cases. (And also prob gdpr illegal).

E: A big reason why this kind of stuff is in there and prob very hard to get rid of is places like alt.suicide.holiday which have been online for ages, and are from what I can tell not considered bad places by the experts.

Various indicators have been in the 'crash incoming' for years now. And keeping in that state for longer than normal. Which is making me feel (spurred by Talebs thinking that you either have regular small crashes or irregular catastrophic big ones. which he wrote thinking we were already in the latter era) like we are in big trouble. But it doesn't seem to be crashing. And even the authoritarian bs isnt pushing us into the crash territory.

Doesnt help that sex workers seem the be doing badly for a while now. Which is imho always a nice informal indicator.

Note I dont know what a cracker barrel is irl, as we dont have them here. But my view of the bsky socials was 'rebrand sucks, dont really care, wow why are the right so obsessed over this' culminating in people talking about how these kinds of stores are a simulacrum of a cozy mom n pop store and people are unknowningly mad about losing even the simulacrum, and how this is all due to capitalism. (More commercialization than capitalism imho, but capitalism did speed up the process). Just as rainbow capitalism will betray you in the search for more profit so will cozy capitalism.

E: update on the story "Cracker Barrel's Pride page now redirects to its "Culture and Belonging" page, removing its LGBTQ+ Alliance and DEIB Team." And while I didn't know CB, this ensures I will never eat there if I ever have a chance.

FInally read the wikipedia page on orcas an hour ago, and boy do I have plans, let me start the wiki.

No idea, but the big problem area to look out for imho is when it gets matched with quantum woo again. And if people manage to link that to computers.

My in very bad taste remark: well we need to weigh one dead kid on the one side an on the otherside there is the millions of people who would be unhappy if they couldn't easily make ~~dustpecks~~ stupid political memes with a piss filter.

I know everybody here has heard of it, but in the small chance it breaks containment: use notepad++ it is great.

That is his concern and not the billionaires behind it messing with the systems so much you cant prompt override it? Please tell me this guy doesnt work in AI alignment.
