Yea, that’s what they said about their takes too…

W/e man, take the bait. Do the artificial generational division bs. Around and around we go. Its totally different this time… totally

But they did?

Growing up all I heard was “wahh millenials, theyre so dumb because computer and calculators. Millennials aren’t as skilled as parents because soft and indoor office jobs. Millennials can’t fix/handyman things cuz lazy/consumerism”

Don’t they say this same shit about every generation?

And there’s always some “study” proving it. Proving that the last great, smart, cool, respectful generation was whichever one the author was from…

“You’re very mature for your age”

• some pedo arguing that age is just a number

judge will give them a little slap on the wrist, and then get a cushy consultant job. Or run for office funded by some mysterious dark money superpac.

Imagine if you and your little group of friends commited even 100 violations of some people’s privacy. Just a little peeping tom group selling people’s personal information and data… You’d all be locked up for years or at least paying out the ass to near financial ruin…

But be a corpo with thousands of “friends” committing millions of violations… and suddenly, no one can be held accountable anymore. No one is actually personally, criminally, at risk. So, as long as they make enough to tank whatever paltry fines… there’s no risk, they can just keep doing it.

I think I know why…

Tall order for democrats to have a clear plan on anything.

oh cool, so now we have a private company directing our police force.

And the relationship is both symbiotic and exponential. The police make money writing tickets, that money goes to the local govenment, and that government can buy more flock cameras. More flock cameras, more tickets, more money, more flock cameras…

Cyberpunk distophia here we come!

…humans generally maintain a constant level of happiness throughout their lives, despite events they experience… …conceptualized as a treadmill, since no matter how hard one tries to be happier, one remains in the same place.

perfect, some metaphorical nihilism to start my day… nothing truly changes, nothing truly matters. Happiness/joy/sadness/anger are all temporary. How you feel now will likely be forever, thrash in your cage if you must.

butt fuck me

Are you rich? Where’s your Bugatti?

yea… that’s pretty much all Thunderfoot posts about nowadays… he hella fell off, for multiple reasons. But like, a decade ago he used to talk about scam kickstarters, atheism, interesting science topics, etc. And then in those debunking science videos he would bring the math and receipts that made it fun to watch… But then in the past 5 years it’s just been Elon… nearly every video is about Elon. It’s obsessive.

And tbf, that’s not the only ick around Thunderfoot. I mean, he did kinda get his start during the Anti-SJW culture war shit doing anti-femisist ragebait videos. Basically occupied the same spaces as Sargon, Bearing and GradeAunderA… and he’s never really “grown” out of that, or addressed it, let alone apologized for it. He harps on Elon, and sometimes Trump/AlexJones/StevenCrowder but he’s never really talked about how he and his ilk helped bring them about.

I assume he got rich how most people get rich, luck and being a sociopath.

ya know, I didn’t know where to put it. It’s not news, it’s not a shitpost… it’s tech drama? so that’s why I posted it here? If you can think of a better place, let me know. But, I thought, as popular as this whole debacle was on lemmy, people at least deserved to see this shithead ragequit.

Lemmy gets hyper defensive when parents put controls and blocks and what a child can access. They liken it to censorship and being controlling.

Who does this help? Neverminding the obvious, “haha helping the ISPs screw over the people”.

But like, the whole job of the FCC is to protect people from companies… so… they can’t just say “we’re screwing you over”. They have to at least try and come up with a reason as why doing this is in the people’s best interest. So, again… who is this helping? Like, how are they selling this?

preorder what?.. what are you reserving anyways?

I think you’re a making a lot of cope to defend casual misogyny instead of just calling it out.

“nono, you don’t understand, Cranston did tv first, totally different”. They’re both actors, and actors frequently alternate between movies and shows all the time. For various different reasons.

OP wasn’t attacking her views on AI, he was attacking her, as an actor. Using language that wouldn’t be used on similarly aged male actors (don’t like my examples, there’s hundreds others to use… DeCaprio? McKellen, Nicholson?). Language, mind you, that dogwhistles and normalizes popular misogynistic takes on women with long careers (especially if they started young).

If that seems acceptable to you but you earnestly believe Hollywood misogyny is a problem, you might want to do some self-reflecting on those two statements. Think about what it means to normalize attitudes and the words used to describe actors and how/when they’re applied.
