I genuinely don’t give a shit about your “opinions”.

You’re literally defending trillion dollar companies while implying they’re essentially socialists.

You say Walmart profit margin is at most 4% and directly connect “money supply grow by 8% a year” to it HEAVILY implying those should be the SAME value thus implying that Walmart is essentially giving to charity because the profit margins don’t equal the number that money supply gross annually.

It’s the same shit as measuring your leg and pretending it has something to do with IQ.

You’re so disingenuous that I don’t believe it’s on accident. I refuse to believe someone like you is actually that dumb and not just pretendin.

Why are you genuinely disregarding everything I say about your points? Feels like you’re being disingenuous.

You showcase that profits are 4%, but growth of money supply is 8%, and then heavily imply those can be directly compared, meaning that Walmart is actually losing money with 4% profits when they “should” have that number at the 8%, even when those figures don’t correlate at all.

It’s like saying that since my shoe size is 44 that my IQ must be X or Y. Shoe size has nothing to do with IQ, even if IQ was objective and good enough to be valuable.

Because that’s how economies of scale work; you say a bigger number happens in another process, which implies that 4% profits are actually 4% socialist.

Man, I really didn’t think you were going for the “Walmart is actually socialist” - bit, I thought it’s beyond exaggerated comedy for me to even suggest you’d be dumb enough to argue that… yet here we are. Lol.

You’re comparing two completely different things; profitability per dollar vs. absolute growth of business.

They’re not the only one to blame, no.

The system is propped up by everyone simultaneously. Especially when there’s people like you defending giant corporations like Walmart.

Also I’m not American

Oh no, not less than 4%, that makes it all alright, because economies of scale for a trillion-dollar company definitely don’t make 4% a figure anyone could even think about protesting against.

Nooo, Walmart is practically socialist, because the profit margins are single percentages. That’s definitely how this works.

Walmarts margins are ass,

It’s literally a trillion-dollar company.

Why do you deep-throat capitalism so?

“I’m not reading your comments. Or the Wikipedia links. Because reading is dumb! >:(”

I don’t understand how people like you don’t realise how it seems to admit to willfully being ignorant online.

Just because you can’t read more than a single sentence without looking at your phone doesn’t mean we all do. Some of us enjoy reading and writing. And that “some of us” does not contain you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

onto your keyboard and reply with human words instead of having a clanker do the work for you. It’s obvious with your lazy replies

Gee, thanks buddy. I remember like 20 years ago when people used to be super snide much in a similar way as you are now. Only it was “it’s obvious you have wall hacks” because I listened a little bit better than they did. It feels just, so good.

Who the fuck would use an AI to write forum replies? You, probably. Or someone you know. See you accuse me of being friendly with machines when you call yourself “a real machinist.”

Your dumbfounded “I’ll not open your Wikipedia links without explanation”-ignorance is the reason I come to forums like these. I enjoy watching you get upset and project a ton. :)

Time enjoyed is time not wasted.

Oh noo, he insulted my profile picture and said to go be elsewhere. :(

Such brilliance of rhetoric, the mind is positively dazzled in your presence!

Ofc you won’t, you’re a real machinist. Duh.

Also, good call, never know what Wikipedia links lead to. Might mean you’d learn something, shudder.

No, you’re not. You’re just wrong on the internet.

Lol what a fucking strawman.

It’s not magic.

CDs and had this phone stuck up my ass

Kids will think you’re joking, but the vibration on those things was a proper… well, vibrator.

Nothing like getting a text from your crush with your phone in your crotch for her/him having indirectly caused you sexual pleasure.

(Also we did actually have contests on who’d throw their phone the highest without failing to catch it. And the throw were easily 5-15 meters high. And lots of misses. But not a single disabled phone. Small scratches on the covers maybe, but you could also buy new covers so it was no problem.)

It can be a zip file.

Or just a playlist you made on one of those streaming services. Ain’t no difference.

To each their own, but I’ve never changed an opinion because of the quantity of people who believe I was wrong.

Somewhat relevant or not:

(still doesn’t affect LLM’s being trained of stolen material by entities who get upset when you share even a mb of their IP illegally, and LLM’s being powerhhungry fuckers, but I believe some of those smaller and more economic models could perhaps be worthwhile, and some NPC LLM set in skyrim shouldn’t need as much training as Gemini trying to be omniscient)

“I’d purposefully avoid talking about gun control”

Found the American.

Gun control works as surely as antibiotics do and people denying it are brainwashed yanks >99% of the time

I’m literally just in the comment section now to post a gif saying something along those lines but you beat me to the comment so I’m just gonna post a gif here
