  • The Facebook feed is an advanced algorithm that knows a shit ton about what to feed you to keep you engaged. It's not just the cookies from sites you visit. They track what thumbnails get you to stop scrolling. They track the way a human eye moves and how far your thumb glides across the screen.

    Point is, if it's all scantily clad thirst traps, thats what gets your attention. If you see one, and you stop to take a screenshot for an article you're writing about how it's all thirst traps, then every third item will be another thirst trap.

    Facebook doesn't care if you want to see that content. Their goal is to keep your eyes on Facebook. If it makes you mad enough to comment, that's engagement.

    I didn't read the whole article, so maybe the author addresses this, but what you see on Facebook is a funhouse reflection of your own interests.

  • People are mad at you because you're accurately describing reality.

  • Honestly, whether I agree with him or not, it's refreshing to have a progressive leader actually attempting to be persuasive in his campaign, rather than just "Look how bad my opponent is! I promise to do all the things you like and none of the things you don't like, depending on what those things are and the context of the decision."

  • It's like if the slowpoke meme and the fellow kids meme had a baby and it tried to claim it was steering the boat while waterskiing.

  • I was hoping for a decentralized version of discord ever since they started requiring phone numbers.

  • It would be less expensive to simply trust everyone. Administering a numbering system and trying to prevent fraud costs more than the actual fraud it prevents, and does nothing to prevent the larger frauds.

    It's like having a chain on the pen at the bank, with a security guard watching the chain, and three managers making aure the secuirty guard is watching the chain all day, but the cash drawers are open and the three managers simply help themselves to as much cash as they like.

  • There are lots of reasons not to use ChatGPT (or any AI) but it's silly to think the consumer subscribers cancelling their subscriptions will make a dent. The real money is in the enterprise contracts. They only have a paywall to set limits on the overhead.

  • Seems like we are at war.

  • Isn't the point of joining the military is to surrender free will? That's one of the many reasons I didn't want to.

  • At this point, what can happen? Congress is under the same sticky thumb as Trump, and there aren't enough voters who are engaged enough to even know about it. The firehose of bullshit did exactly what it was supposed to do, and now there's no public will left to keep fighting for freedom and democracy.

  • Polymarket apocalypse futures are soaring right now.

  • I don't believe you're honestly anything.

  • See what you're doing now is called sea-lioning, where you pretend you have been misunderstood, and you're just trying to have a civil conversation. You shared a nazi arguement, and if you feel you've been misunderstood, you're free to clarify what you meant to say. I've said my peace, so if you want to keep pretending you're not a bigot, then you'll need to do more than insist others prove it.

  • Because Atlanta isn't going to be a favorable venue. Too many reasonable people in the city.

  • I feel like I was fairly clear about that. It's the one where you use bad science to justify bigotry and crimes against humanity. For example, your comment earlier in this thread about how certain people shouldn't exist because ova and sperm are the only gametes.

  • Which is it, you don't want to defend the nazi argument, or you do want to defend the nazi argument?

  • Literally every sentence you typed is entirely inaccurate. It's bad science promoted by bigots to create a convinient lie that permits them to discriminate and oppress people.

    Edit to add: It's even a bad interpretation of the metaphor. It's like saying "akshually, there's only two atomic particles, the proton and the electron, and these are the only two particles that determine charge, so there's really only two types of atoms, positive and negative charged atoms, and that's why black people don't deserve civil rights."

    That's you. That's what you sound like.

    • Human genders are not defined by gamete types.
    • Human sex is not defined by gamete types. There are women born with testes, and men born with ovaries. Secondary sexual characteristics are influenced by hormones as much as genetics, and the presence of a gamete does not determine the hormones in a person's body.
    • Sexual development charts are generalizations across average humans, and do not necessarily represent any one individual's sexual development. Everyone does not fit into a box.
    • You can't hide your bigotry behind peer-reviewed biology papers and textbooks. The actual science doesn't support it.
    • Gonochorism is not relevant to the psychosexual development of humans. It's a term used to differentiate animals that change sexes due to environmental factors, like alligators and snails. Nobody is claiming that transgender individuals are simultaneously hermaphroditic. It's a biological strawman argument that belies the insincerity of your argument.

    In short, fuck off with your nazi bullshit.
