And it’s self-reported by the datacenters. I don’t want to just say that their numbers aren’t reliable, but they have a vested interest in downplaying their impact.

These are datacenters that get approval to use certain power plant styles with pollution capture technology installed that are then building more generators than approved and installing none of the pollution capture tech. So extra pollution and none of the mitigation.

It’s worth noting that Penny’s Big Breakaway is made by the majority of the people who made Sonic Mania. And the Sonic Android ports.

So it’s very well polished.

Plenty of sites break copyright law and don’t get struck, but if you ask how to do it safely, or how to do it legally, you’re going to get told how to play it safe.

You can upload content to Archive.org yourself rather than mega and get an extra layer of defense against legal trouble, as you wouldn’t be directly responsible for hosting the content. They would take the uploaded item down if they got a DMCA, but mega is more likely to take down the whole folder.

Would also keep the content more accessible long term. Tons of dead mega links all over the internet.

3 days old too. Absolutely just a rage bait account.

No, you see, this is about how some people are just born with special powers that intrinsically make them better at work related to the one and only future of the coming AGI god.

DEI is about trying to ensure people have an equal chance. This is about establishing a new class of elites based on unchangable genetic traits. A class of “super” or “uber” men, if you will.

Ah yes, let’s start the slow process of eventually funneling people into roles based off this shit. AI is the future, and potentially our self-bootstrapped god. Neurodivergence makes you better at this sort of work. You’re one of the chosen people. High priest to Roko’s Ballsack Basilisk or some shit.

I know that’s extreme to say, but Peter Thiel, the money behind Palantir, recently gave some absolutely insane speeches about the fucking antichrist. The AI race is legitimately a cult with religious meaning to some of these fucks.

Also, brace yourselves for attempts to use this as a shield against criticism. You can’t get mad at us for not understanding the concept of human dignity, we’ve got the billionaire international surveillance contractor stamp of the global elite approved neurodivergence!

To be clear, no hate meant towards the neurodivergent. I am one. All the hate to the fucking billionaires just transparently fucking over the world in every way they can.

Then you have to create a framework for evaluating the effect of the addition of each source into “positive” or “negative”. Good luck with that. They can’t even map input objects in the training data to their actual source correctly or consistently.

It’s absolutely possible, but pretty much anything that adds more overhead per each individual input in the training data is going to be too costly for any of them to try and pursue.

O(n) isn’t bad, but when your n is as absurdly big as the training corpuses these things use, that has big effects. And there’s no telling if it would actually only be an O(n) cost.

Don’t know why anyone would want to fart into a bong

I don’t know what to tell you beyond what I’ve already said.

I’m not denying that it’s a serious goddamn problem. I have acknowledged that in every single comment I’ve made about this. Please stop insisting that I’m saying otherwise.

Once again, I am only saying that despite the high numbers, it is not just some ever present part of life over here to the degree that every American, or even a majority, has experienced gun violence. Everyone from the outside seems to think that’s true, but it’s insanely, laughably not. The quite overwhelming majority of Americans have not experienced gun violence, and won’t within their lifetime.

Our population number is roughly equivalent to 3/4 of the entire European Union’s combined population. Any of our numbers relating to people are going to look high unless you bear that in mind.

Really everyone? Veracrypt encrypted psuedo-drive container, password protected, saved in a game’s install folder (to mask the size) with a filename that blends in. %appdata% could work too, but more likely to get purged by some overzealous cleanup script. Mount and unmount the vercrypt volume as needed. Won’t cause the risk of something showing up in the file browser search or recent files lists (or at least they won’t actually be able to open them from recent), and won’t immediately stand out if someone uses some sort of storage analyzer like WinDirStat. Just another big data file for some game. Could go sneakier and do a hidden volume in the container, or just encrypt an entire USB drive, but that’s probably overkill.

Then when you get your own computer/don’t live with your folks? Who gives a fuck. Clearly labeled folder. Media/Internet/Porn/

At that point anyone who snoops does so at their own peril.

Jesus. I don’t think an adblocker would help if she couldn’t manage the fucking volume buttons.

Lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink and all that.

Yeah, hence why I didn’t say anything to counter anything else, or that it was a good place to visit anytime soon.

Got any other mindblowing facts for us?

Perfectly valid, and thanks for not just jumping on the US bad dogpile and instead citing some stuff.

I’m just speaking up because I’ve seen a lot of people online from outside the US running with this idea that gun violence is like, a daily occurence that every US citizen deals with regularly, when that’s so fucking far from the reality.

Yeah, things are a powder keg over here lately and the accessibility of firearms doesn’t help, but I’ve met only one person in my almost 35 years of life who’s ever been held at gunpoint and they’re the only person I know who has ever been through any form of gun violence.

There’s plenty of reasons to avoid this place for a good long while unfortunately, but I feel like the gun danger has been overblown.

I have and do, likely more than you. Thanks for patronizing!

That doesn’t change my point, that the danger of gun violence is a problem, but is considerably made out to be worse than the reality by the media.

Like, we have states larger than some European countries. If you took the reporting on all the bad shit happening over the equivalent space/population amount in Europe it would be pretty fucking harrowing as well.

I’ve known multiple people fall into a life of constant anxiety due to overexposing themselves to the media. Convinced that every city was a fucking gun violence warzone. That horrible things were happening all the time. They didn’t know anyone who knew anyone who had experienced the things they were convinced were regular horrible occurences. And they knew more than one person (mutual friends) that worked and lived in the US city with the highest homicide rate at the time. None of those people had been even in the vicinity of gun violence.

I’ve been around for nearly 35 years, and I enjoy talking with people. I’ve met only one single person who had been a victim of gun violence, in that they were robbed at gunpoint while working nights at a gas station in a rough area.

There are fucking studies about this shit that are over 15 years old that show that exposure to news media back then caused people to ridiculously overestimate the frequency of crime (and especially violent crime). News has only become more emotionally charged since.

I’m not saying America is some amazing place. I’m just saying that the news would have you believe that almost everyone here has had a gun violence experience, or that visitng the US is unsafe because of gun violence, when that’s not the case.

How… how much gun violence do you think actually happens here?

There’s a lot by number, and that’s a serious fucking issue, but the US is also massive. It’s not a regular or frequent danger of normal life here.

Even those numbers are pumped up by the fact that suicide by gun is counted in the exact same “gun violence” statistics as gang violence, and the “school shootings” statistics include all from the “gun violence” stats that occur within a certain radius around, regardless of when it happened (summer break, middle of the night, etc) or if it was any danger to students.

News overfocuses on shit like that because it pulls eyes and clicks, and therefore ad revenue.

Again, it is a serious fucking problem, but it’s not the kind of thing you’re going to experience in daily life or as a tourist.

Depends on the officer you’re dealing with. There’s multiple stories, from before Trump ever took office, of people being detained for up to a day for saying this or refusing to grant access to their phone. I can only imagine it’s worse now.
