All guys, especially guys who choose not to go into frats, know this. Frats have always been about rich or popular kids having a place to congregate that was partially shielded from administration, to be able to do stuff they otherwise couldn’t (often with the help of their alumni parents).

Average boomer contemplating their kids.

So in other words, the things they are wishing for are what kill you early.

You mean you dont need your machine to tell some ad brokers to contact you about needing to buy more coffee soon?

Yes, he’s nuking it, but more importantly he’s looting it. He’s profiting off the destruction he’s sowing.

He’s been disappearing the money from selling Venezuelan oil. His kids are making billions off of defense contracts for counter drone systems for Iran. His big-tech donors are gifting him millions in exchange for gutting their oversight. He or his buddies have been insider trading on Kalshi. He’s literally scamming his own voters with cryptocurrency and bullshit IPOs.

Trump is not an intelligent man, but he’s a wily man who’s been very good at stealing money all his life. I think there’s an instinct to treat him as a bumbling doddard instead of an evil bastard, but make no mistake he knows what he’s doing.

You don’t want them thinking they can take that attitude into the workplace! Imagine if they start thinking they can just demand more pay, or better working conditions! Madness!

The person taking the video is literally prompting it by saying ‘la la la’ themselves. Why would they be surprised that it’s response is to sing it back?

You’re looking for the populace as a whole to have some kind of sit-down, coordinated evaluation of what has maximal climate impact, but that’s not how protest movements work.

Small groups can be tactical like that. Large protest movements have to seize on whatever momentum happens, when it happens.

If people were out there protesting golf courses, I’d be there too, and I’d be encouraging it, but I’m not going to waste my breath as someone with zero meaningful platform trying to foment a mass protest movement out of thin air.

And there’s something more important to this movement than just directly addressing the environmental impact of datacenters, which is the anti-large-corporation sentiment it’s feeding (both from, and into). That is very important for climate action. And I’m not sure if you’ve been going to any (climate) protests, but there are definitely signs at all of them protesting oil and gas companies.

Yes, my partner is basically that (and is the reason I was at those concerts, though they are incredible showmen and I’ve come to like their music too). She doesn’t wear full goth makeup everyday, but she still dresses up occasionally just for fun, even outside of going to an event. I call her a spoopy-goth, but she hates that. :P

The only concerts I’ve been to in the last 10 years were 2 MCR shows, and I’m not sure there’s any difference between what people were wearing there and what they’d always wear. Goth girls be goth’in.

It’s hilarious they are like, “but golf courses are worse!”

Yeah. Get rid of them too.

Glad I metube’d it to my Jellyfin before the takedown (after watching it on yt to give her the ad rev).

Dmca is bullshit. IP is bullshit. Warner is bullshit.

Sure, but the bourgeoisie have convinced a large portion of the would-be proletariat to side with them. So insomuch as the average ‘soldier’ in this war is more likely to encounter a coal-rolling boomer than Elon Musk, there is more to this than pure class politics.

One thing that’s important to understand is that this is going to be a non-starter for a FOSS project that isn’t a 501c3, for most companies, for legal reasons. Charitable giving to 501c3s is defensible spending because of the impact on taxes. (Yay Crapitalism!)

You’d probably have more success onboarding them as a contractor doing “implementation support”.

Also, imo big projects like Linux and postgres are doing fine, and it’s the small tool creators that need support.

I feel like this article is trying to insinuate dynamic or different pricing, rather than just the “personalized recommendations” that is what’s actually happening?

This makes perfect sense, and they already do it outside of sales; I don’t need to see the cleanup-a-shop-or-library-a-wizard-trashed games, and my wife doesn’t need to see Total War: W40k.

“Democrats are evil, and God is going to deliver us a win! … So don’t question anything as Republicans if we totally steal the election! America! God! Money for you! Yaaaay!”

Aloy’s physical scan model was Hannah Hoekstra, and her voice and mocap was Ashly Burch, according to the wiki.

99% of “deradicalization” is just about pathologizing dissent.

That’s been true in Japan for a long time, for many things that saw boom-and-bust expansions. Theme parks are a really cool example of this, where Japan built a TON of regional theme parks in the 90s, only for them to become defunct and abandoned as tourist revenue dried up (or failed to materialize in the first place). Difference here is that while a defunct theme park is also less viable than a solar array, a golf course doesn’t require significant demo first.
