Yep. I was enlisted in the navy. I’ve seen this pipeline over and over on Facebook

Hate the Navy, Joe Rogan Phase, Hate the Government, Jordan Peterson Phase, Becomes sexist and undateable, Become libertarian, Be smarter and better than everyone else, Diet racism, Conspiracy theories, Angry and isolated because of their shitty beliefs, Digs in more and lives to argue, Lost their fucking mind

It’s sad watching genuinely decent people become angry, scared, and isolated. You can’t even feel bad for them because of how insufferable they become.

Projecting him reaching a trillion dollars by using his average annual growth rate of >100% is ridiculous.

Not to disagree with anything you’re saying, but I hate the phrase “borderline pedophillia.” Either they’re sexualizing children or not. It’s like saying “non-consensual sex.” There’s no such thing. It’s rape or consensual sex.

As much as everyone loves to shit on Facebook, it was an incredible service. When I was in the military I was able to keep up with my old friends and their lives. When I got out I was able to simply keep in touch with my old military buddies. Now it’s just dead. I’m genuinely sad that this has happened :(

Not surprising. They lucked into insane pandemic demand, and kinda didn’t do anything with it. Now they are picking at the corpse of their brand.

Dr Weir used a pen not a pencil. That explains why the Event Horizon ended up in hell.

Battlefield earth is one of my favorite awful movies.

♫ oh, like a rock ♫

That’s the huge take away here. The Chinese can’t comprehend that the DOD doesn’t have a social media control division. Yes we have the NSA and stuff spying, but they don’t control anything.

I was a nuclear operator in the Navy. Here are the actual reasons:

1. The designs are classified US military assets
2. They are not refuleable
3. They only come in 2 “sizes”: aircraft carrier and submarine
4. They are not scaleable. You can just make a reactor 2x as big
5. They require as much down time as up time
6. They are outdated
7. The military won’t let you interrupt their supply chain to make civilian reactors
8. New designs over promise and underdeliver
9. They are optimized for erratic operations (combat) not steady state (normal power loads)
10. They are engineered assuming they have infinite sea water available for everything

There’s more but that’s just off the top of my head

As an OG DW fan I hope this isn’t a repeat of 9, but I’m not optimistic. “1 v 1000” and “realism” are two completely different things.

Yeah it’s more like, hey you just bought stabilizing jacks and a water hose for a travel trailer. You must have just bought a new camper. Let’s bombard you with add for stick-up-hooks, rv-mattress sized sheets, cheap plastic dishes, etc.

Literally my first job out of college. We were hybrid, and the amount you had to come in was based on your seniority. Most days it was just me on an empty floor. “Meeting” people was doing shitheads favors so they wouldn’t have to come in to the office.

Uninvited visitors are the real world version of a pop up ad. They get zero consideration from me

My wife has a cricut. It’s a little CNC plotter table that can make custom stickers, signs, and whatnot with a very clean UI. They are pretty popular with the stay-at-home mom crowd. If you know a better way to high quality color prints on specialty papers I’d love to hear it. I know that sounds sarcastic, but I mean that with absolutely zero sarcasm. Please tell me.

If you figure each engineer costs apple $250,000 a year, that’s the equivalent of 250 engineers. Could you imagine what apple could accomplish with 5 extra engineering departments? In what world is this one guy worth that much?

I meant what you first thought, but your edit is a much better idea. It would also make sense for steam to keep AI generated content permanently tagged in case laws change and they have to purge games.

Thank you. Every time “why don’t they teach taxes in school?” comes up I want to pull my hair out. All most people have to do is copy about 10 numbers from their w2 into 10 boxes on their 1040ez, do elementary school math, and sign. That’s it. If you attended 2nd grade you learned all of this.

I really hope they add an “AI developed” tag that way I can filter out all of that slop without any hassle.

Cool. Another dipshit hanging out in a hostile nation gets pinched. Now it will cost the US another arms dealer or spy to get them back.
