I used Airbnb once and I will never use it again. The host was an asshole and the place was filthy (and ironically the owner thought it was clean) and loud and fucking stupid.

I love you, my coin operated boy!

While I am sure he would love it if he had made it mandatory to have all children in the country submit nude photographs of their children to him (for health and scientific research, of course… and they need a set taken on their birthdays from ages 1 to 17 from multiple angles and poses in order to make sure that they are developing correctly you see. No perv stuff!) The part where he said he could diagnose the kids was not when they were naked.

Or maybe I didn’t hear the full quote, I don’t remember.

I never thought I’d be siding with 4chan.

Just to let you know I was never a 4chan user.

No it just the ever growing feeling of sameness and nothing new coming up.

As a young kid in the late 80s and early 90s I saw shit just go from big to bigger in only a few years. Jokes about computers becoming obsolete the moment they are shipped were everywhere. Graphics and computing power exploded in the 90s and all the way until the 2010s and… things didn’t seem to be that much different. A computer I would have had in 2000 would be aching for a replacement in 2005, and the same from 2005 to 2010 and so on. But now I feel like a computer I would have had from 2015 or 2018 would not be too far behind today.

Maybe things got more efficient. But it just seemed like things haven’t changed that much. I mean they did. Cloud computing has gotten huge, but in terms of users and usability things haven’t budged.

You are correct but also are missing something. As far as tech services go, the US is (but rapidly decline as due to Trump) a titan. But like I said, right now and especially in the last 10 years they have been going through some extremely serious enshitification of the internet, internet services, and a plethora of other stuff. As far as I am concerned the past 10 years have been extremely static in a lot of development.

I misread your comment as ‘eat their feces’ on a first glance…

Your description is not something I am worried about or what they want. It is an implant to do a very specific task and nothing else.

This isnt what Musk and other tech billionaires want.

I learned something new today.

I also did hear that girls go through puberty sooner because girls now are fatter than they used to be due to a number of factors.

If cyberpunk media taught me anything is that having anything in your body that isn’t 100% independent and only connects through a very secure wired network (no wireless!) On a need to do basis only.

And even with wired connections… you guys know cyberpunk 2077, right? In the corpo life path the introduction literally has your boss fry the brains of a roomful of foreign VIPs like it was nothing and when his half-assed scheme to have you murder his boss (your boss’s boss) you get hired and all the implants they put in you become internal deadweights and the fact that they were managing your sky high stress levels means you immediately have a break down and faint due to sensory overload.

This is not to mention the quick hacks in-game that can cause you great harm or even death if some script kiddie gets a hold of them.

I really need to get back to creative writing and write the cyberpunk novel I have in mind of people jailbreaking the unjailbreakable devices and showing how the elites used ‘necessary’ implants to straight up kill their users if they are acting all ‘uppity’.

Aren’t Argentinan soy farmers basically stealing American soy farmer’s sales? Its almost like American farmers voting for this City Slicker Real Estate loser hate themselves or something.

This is why I have long since stopped posting anything online with anything even remotely resembling my real name and identity. I don’t even use my ‘real’ email anymore except for official purposes or shit I pay money for. Even my lemmy accounts are made with temporary emails and no matter how much I use them, they are ultimately disposable. Good luck trying to conclusively prove who I am… yeah I might sometimes reveal a little personal information, but broad enough that I could be anybody.

Same thing for solar panels. When carter left, he installed the first solar panel on the white house and said ‘this will either mark a new beginning or a path untaken’. Reagan took it down.

Now China is kicking everyone’s ass in solar panels. And Trump hates renewables so much that he wants to shut down a windfarm in New England that is almost finished, had already cost a lot of money, would employ thousands, and provide a fuckload of cheap electricity to a lot of people.

Yeah but they were just kidding and pwning the libs… can’t you take a joke brah?

They don’t care.

Also they will claim that the death of communism is some widely agreed upon number that is corroborated by numerous organizations and sources.

In reality it is literally like the one single ‘study’ that proved the autism/vaccine connection. It came entirely from the Black Book of Communism in 1999, and all but the main author disavowed it, and despite the obsession with wanting to reach 100 million. The absolute max it could find was 94 million with a ‘most likely’ number of 64 million.

So when they give a death toll of ‘conservatively 100 million’ they are literally pulling it out of nowhere.

He just finds nekkid ladies to be icky. Also the men aren’t necessarily twinks or bears that he enjoys.

Damn fucking straight. I hope it starts an privacy movement so big they realize that all the laws passed since 2000 against terrorism were abject failures and repeal all of them.

Canada is trying to pass major surveillance shit on par with the patriot act on steroids and effectively nullify the need for warrants, all in the name of ‘strong borders’ and anti terrorism even though it literally gives many US owned and operated companies full and complete access to digital information on Canadians, ironically weakening borders in every way.

And for what? What is the terrorism threat? Al-Qaeda was a always a joke, and the fact that 9/11 happened was far more due to a monumental failure of all intelligence services combined and not due to a lack of resources. Terrorist schemes have been thwarted in the past without the need for extensive surveillance… and most plots are still thwarted primarily by informants and insiders speaking to authorities. The whole 'we need to be super proactive ’ has yielded shit results.

Most of the stuff that they claim was 'prevented proactively ’ was literally entrapment. They found some mentally ill and/or lonely people who would have done nothing on their own, but ended up being goaded into stupid crap when undercover agents flirted with them, encouraged them, and even offered weapons and explosives for them to use, and if they agreed… well, that’s when they nabbed them. No terrorism would have occurred if agents didn’t do shit.

Have you ever wondered why so many people are highly distrustful of people talking about doing violent shit? Fed posting? Its because agents have such a long ass history of doing that that you cannot tell who is and who isn’t a Fed.

Which they would laugh at. Even the Chinese government would laugh at such a request. It isn’t something that is considered universally a crime, like robbery and murder, but the type of shit they are asking for is so fucking unprecedented and unreasonable it’s stupid.

It would be like if the UK demanded that France immediately extradite all legal handgun owners in France (where handguns are legal) because it is a crime to possess one in Great Britain and therefore they are criminals. Makes no sense.

I agree, but letting a foreign government dictate what you can and cannot say on your site is dangerous. If 4chan capitulates then countless other sites are on the chopping block.
