Gotten dumber? We’re they smarter when they thought recessions would never happen again and led to the great recession? Or the fucktards supporting Reagan? Or trashing on Vietnam vets as they returned? Or fighting against Civil rights? Or McCarthyism?

I could keep going back. We’ve always had stupid and evil.

How bout we enslave this fucking nazi turd. Drag his fat fucking ass around, go full mussolini.

Go learn simple regression analysis (not necessarily the commenter, but anyone). Then you’ll understand why it’s simply a prediction machine. It’s guessing probabilities for what the next character or word is. It’s guessing the average line, the likely followup. It’s extrapolating from data.

This is why there will never be “sentient” machines. There is and always will be inherent programming and fancy ass business rules behind it all.

We simply set it to max churn on all data.

Also just the training of these models has already done the energy damage.

Wait for Gen X to pop in as usual and seek attention with some “we always get ignored” bullshit.

There’s a reason why John fucking Brown is the real Jesus Christ. He’d fucking blow up the damn white house at this point.

Gen Z lookin fine as hell.

The generation that couldn’t be bothered.

And character is like a tree and reputation is a shadow of it, and it takes a hell of a lot less to bring it down than to grow it up.

I’ve watched this go down long enough in enough industries to know better than to believe their claim of not logging.

You’re being watched. Hell, your data’s probably being handed over to cops without your knowledge.

Knowing a company is watching me because it’s openly known, is to me better than paying a company to not watch me and likely risk them simply selling out eventually like they all do.

It’s funnier when you stupidly expected them to protect you, PAID them for it, and they don’t.

It’s like 23andme. Too fucking funny and everyone deserves it for their stupidity.

I’m supporting my kids financially … I get a say in the way they conduct themselves…

Okay, so this is an employment situation then. Youre treating them like “you act certain ways/do certain things because I give you money.”

That’s an employer, not a parent.

And then telling your child that everything they do that wasn’t YOUR idea is making them a fuckup and that you just are trying to help them does wonders.

Then gasping when the child tells you to drop fucking dead and goes no contact and moves 3k miles away.

Note: this was all mostly unrelated to the comment aside from what you wrote triggered these thoughts.

2nd time. Yuck.

According to a comment by editorgrrl in this r/TheWayWeWere reddit post, it is a joke.

Life magazine (sometimes called “old Life”) was a parody published by graduates of the Harvard Lampoon.

[The] image is one of ten fake personal ads from volume 27, number 679. Transcription of the two which appear on page 121 at the link…

VPNs are wild to me. “Hey! Pay some company to promise not to watch you so you can pretend to be private and not have some company watching you.”

That doesn’t make it okay. This God was just okay with that? Hahaha. Fuck that.

I was also raised in that shit. Of course I’m fucking warped by it.

This shit is fucked up and ANY defense of these scriptures is automatic red flag for hateful bigotry.

Well no fucking shit. My own issues are called “the fucking Christian abusers who used this shit against me and anyone else to stave off any responsibility for anything.”

If it hadn’t affected me negatively I’d probably not give a shit what some people’s scripts say.

One of the sources I linked literally gave you your lightbulb answer, but you didn’t check. You just went straight to some kind of mansplaining.

Also, it’s a fucking meme. I don’t give that much of a shit.

Well, thats a choice for sure. I’ve never taken my phone to a bathroom. Thats disgusting. Its also still entirely possible to stare out the windows on a trip and enjoy the scenery. Lots of us do it.
