What they’re saying is that you said that the bubble has kinda already popped because (insert description of the middle of the dot com bubble here when smaller companies began to join in). Based on that, the bubble hasn’t popped at all, small companies are just able to buy in as well before the collapse hits.

Honestly could be a little of column A, a little of column B. Or even the lead, like you mentioned. Lead is one of the leading theories for why there were so many serial killers, but it’s also a theory on why the Baby Boomers are so much more conservative than the generations before and after them. Symptoms of long-term lead poisoning include things like heightened aggression, violent tendencies, and impaired cognitive abilities, and the theory also correlates the coincidence of serial killers largely disappearing in the time since lead was banned from gasoline, paint, pipes, etc. - but that also fits for the political stance of generations before and after the introduction and banning of leaded gasoline.

Obviously, there’s more to it, but I can’t say that I think banning the lead was a bad idea!

Studies have shown that conservatives have smaller areas of the brain related to a sense of empathy on average compared to others. It could be said that they are outright physically less capable of feeling empathy compared to the rest of the population.

Should’ve gone for the thermite, then at least we could call him a “hot” boomer.

Honestly, probably both. The fact that stuff isn’t being deleted anymore and that they make carve-outs in the rules for hate against specific minorities would embolden people to post more hateful content.

Personal responsibility only gets you so far when the big money actively fights against it. I think the answer lies in both holding companies like Google to higher standards as well as improving access to the knowledge we need to navigate what the world has become. It doesn’t help anybody when the FBI has recommended people use an ad blocker for over a decade but nobody has ever heard them say it.

I think this law requires you to upload a photo of your ID and says that it’s the website’s fault if underage people use it and they face a hefty fine. It’s a lot more than the standard “click to pinky promise that you’re definitely 18” because PornHub already has that.

I mean, I’d personally rather see an anime girl themed desktop than those weird statues rich people sometimes have in places like on their coffee table that are stuff like a woman in the boob + butt out pose with no limbs or head. That shit is just creepy looking. I know it’s supposed to be reminiscent of broken Greek and Roman statues, but why do they always have to be posed and objectified like porn stars? At least with the anime girl, I know that I’m talking to an otaku rather than Hannibal Lecter.

Unfortunately, the “used intelligently and responsibly” part is why people dislike AI - they don’t trust companies or people to use it that way (and for good reason based on the results so far).

Plus, it’s not gonna put everything back into Pandora’s Box. What we’re in is a societal and cultural arms race where AI is just another escalation that’s being used by both sides.

Everyone who disagrees with you is a bot, probably from Russia. You are very smart.

Where did they say that? They just said bots in general. It’s well known that Russia has been running a propaganda campaign across social media platforms since at least the 2016 elections (just like the US is doing on Russian and Chinese social media, I’m sure. They do it on Americans as well. We’re probably the most propangandized country on the planet), but there’s plenty of incentive for corpo bots to be running their own campaigns as well.

Or are you projecting for some reason? What do you get from defending Putin?

Don’t forget to draw the rest of the owl, too!

Is Gen Z becoming the new Millennials?

“Gen Z is ruining the Dating App Market!”

If you wanna get really crazy, last I heard was that people were working on 3d printed 9mm ammo.

So not only are the guns FOSS, but the bullets are too.
