He doesn’t use Twitter anymore, even though they unbanned him. He pretty much exclusively posts on his own private social media network.

What are John Oliver’s problems? I haven’t heard any controversies as of late. Other than the Paramount Skydance thing, of course.

It’s like showing up to your kid’s recital long enough for them to see you waving in the crowd, then leaving to go to the bar before you actually have to hear any of the performance.

Heh, I was also banned for the same reason as you - quoting the exact text of the constitution to say what should happen to insurrectionists. My appeal was denied in seconds.

The time before that it was during the presidential debate live watch threads, and there was a portion of the broadcast where the camera dipped away from the speaker, so I wrote “kill the cameraman!”, an obviously non-serious statement in reference to the subreddit /r/killthecameraman, and got banned for that. That was only a three week suspension I think. The mod who banned me also handled my appeal as well, promptly ignored.

If they are passing legislation for things they believe are a myth, then when is the anti-bigfoot legislation coming? What about Chupacabra leash laws? Vampire curfew? Ghost noise ordinances?

My point is, I guess, that people typically don’t pass laws against things they think aren’t real in the first place.

This is pretty uncontroversial as far as reddit announcements go. They aren’t requiring identity verification.

I do this every time I see one of those dorks driving one around.

Slippery Slope Fallacy. It’s the same thing as saying Doom and Grand Theft Auto train school shooters, or marijuana is a gateway drug to hard substances.

This is not me defending paedophiles, I’m just pointing out the flaw in the logic here. Nothing says that having access to these dolls increases the likelihood of them carrying out their desires on a real child, or that by not having access they would never take that step regardless.

Are you telling me my virtual real estate is worthless?!

In a couple of years, the bubble may have already burst.

Also, the robot is not just an employee, it’s an asset that can be sold off to pay debts in the event of bankruptcy.

“Many people are saying…”

Bro, get this Trumpian rhetoric outta here.

I could see a very generous interpretation of that statement where “President of the United States” and “Gavin Newscum” were technically two separate thoughts, but trying to make sense of this moron is impossible so I’m just going to assume he said what everybody thinks he said and conclude that his brain is completely mush at this point.

I thought the war was supposed to be over in two weeks?

Congratulations, idiot Republicans. You’ve started another forever war, even after you specifically voted for the guy who promised not to start any more forever wars. What are you gonna do about it?

I had an idea pop in my head and I don’t know if it’s feasible or not, but maybe the next nascent social media network can try it out, who knows.

Private trackers for torrenting are notoriously hard to get invitations to, specifically because the only way to get in is through joining the community early, limited time windows to register, or some sort of lottery system, but most people get in when one of their friends sends them one of their limited number of invitations - which they don’t do lightly because if you invite a leecher it harms your reputation and both you and the person you invited can get banned even if you are still maintaining a positive ratio.

So what if we implemented a similar kind of system? Bots can’t flood a system if the registration is closed access, but regular people can still get invitations from friends and family. But if you invite a bot, that bot account and the account that invited it get terminated simultaneously, taking out two bad actors for the price of just one. Heck, if you really wanted to go scorched earth, every account that was registered via an invitation from the person who initial invited the bot should also get terminated. Know who you are inviting and you won’t have any problems, but if you use your ability to invite people recklessly, your entire social network gets kicked off the platform.

This would probably never get implemented in a serious social media platform because those spaces rely on explosive growth to compete with other more established networks, and limiting the number of users is counterproductive - I think at some point investors would just start telling management to open the floodgates and let the bots in already.

Trump playing Quantum Multidimensional Parcheesi.

AI wasn’t the NFT killer, right click > saveas killed it at the very moment of conception.

Digital scarcity is a complete joke.

They don’t just want the machines to create the art and music for us, they want them to consume it for us too, so that we’ll have more time to slave away at our jobs.

They won’t.

Someone with better aim this time, I hope.
