I’m sure they’ll snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again, or squander the opportunity to make real gains with any win.

Eristic, bad-faith debater. They only care about winning. They don’t care how. They aren’t there to change their minds. It’s not a discussion, it‘s a fight; and they‘ll sell their souls, their dignity, and reality, to win.

Just replace the frogs with corn and this was Lemmy for a few days.

I would have been surprised if a directionless, powerless in the shadow of his family, smug rich kid didn’t subscribe to some macho bullshit snake oil salesman offering him some feeling of legitimacy for being shitty. And of course the redpill carnival barker is going to latch on to the useless rich kid because of his family.

C u there

Without the ! it’s more informal and friendly.

Probably alcohol of some kind?

When you have a case full of hammers you’re gonna want to find a nail.

Ah, the 'ol 1984 “quintuple plus good.”

Yeah. He’s made many comments in the past where it’s quite clear he views himself as king, anything he views as against the State is against him, anything he wants is what the State wants.

Off line? Who is being a grammar Nazi IRL?

So perversely chatbots are increasing people’s vocabulary because people read so few books anymore and most of their word usage comes from what they read online?

Forgot the “I didn’t do nuthin’, why are you attacking me?!” in panel 5.

“Everyone” meaning the social media someone and their social set get their info and cues from, not the rest of the people around them.

Should be a full stop with “profit”. All the shitty things that go with companies chasing it.

Because squeezing the workers while doing more causes the line to go up faster than just doing more with added overhead costs. They cannot think past quarterly reports.

Hasn’t P2025 indicated the opposite? They want more births (gutting abortion rights and making birth control difficult to access) so they can have a stupid cheap surplus of labor?

Assume whatever makes you feel better.

Yep. It was headed downhill with the bots, reposts, karma farmers, hive-mind, troll farms, and of course the reddit c-suite “purging” the site of things like WPD, morbid reality, spacedicks (yeah, not subs for everyone, but noetheless…not hurting anyone), getting rid of Victoria, getting rid of mods and leaving petty power mongers and sycophants in place, and allowing shit like The_Donald and similar subs to run unchecked. The forced commercialization, crushing of protest and reddit app was the final straw.

Thank you. That would be lovely. I find LED’s flicker sometimes and are too “hard”, they lack the softer, more yellow profile of incandescents.

Probably what his rant is all about.

Anyone care to sum up in a few sentences what this 20+ minute video is all about?

E: fucking lemmy, lol. Don’t watch youtube! Google sucks! Use alternatives! /asks for a quick summary so as to avoid youtube: lemmy: “Downvote!1!1”
