Remember the guy at Autozone who stood there insisting your car needs four spark plugs, even after you told him you have a V6? Because “the computer says so right here”?

I wonder what even the non-schizophrenic ones will do with AI.

We should have elected the guy who made a ministry of truth and used it to censor true facts under the guise of “misinformation” instead :(

Uhhh, heard of EU Chat Control?

Tire and brake dust causes autism? This explains mechanics.

HVAC, and every other trade, is only really good money if you own the business doing it. Just theres no big HVAC monopoly so you can actually dream of doing that.

Had warranty work done on an HVAC system that blew up shortly after installation which covered parts, but not labor (what a ripoff, by the way). Paid about $1400 for about 3 hours of work by one guy. Asked him what he got paid, about $20-25 same as everyone else who gets their hands dirty without a degree or hazard pay.

Is it safe to say GDPR was a mistake at this point?

Well there was the time they tried to remove Trump’s secret service detail, right before the assassination attempt on him.

Been on kiwi farms. There is no “we’re swatting these guys” thread. And there is a very detailed and well-cited thread doxxing torswats and documenting and archiving the attempt to tie their actions to KF. You literally can just go read it. Please do. The Torswats/Alan Winston thread.

No amount of “uhhhhh they’re untrustworthy and not all of them are left wing” is sufficient to beat the clear documentation. Because of his arrest, trial, and conviction, much of what is in the thread can also be verified by law enforcement sources. If you believe otherwise, you are a victim of internet misinformation.

And yes, I still call bullshit on the made-up musk Nazi salute from the same political machine that brought us “everyone making Nazi salutes at the Palestine protests is fine, actually” as well as “if you sit at a table with a Nazi, then you’re a Nazi”.

They don’t swat people. Mass swatter Torswats (which turned out to be a team of a few people) tried to blame it on them for a little bit, but was ultimately caught.

I hope the poor guy is doing okay with one hind leg. :(

Discord got big in online gaming because they offered a VOIP and text chat browser cliemt. Just copy or type the short link and you’re in in a minute. They also did free hosting which was huge.

Compared to Teamspeak or Ventrilo, literally just eliminating the steps of downloading a client, installing it, and typing in an IP address caused them to explode overnight. Also you could “host” without changing router settings (most kids/students have to ask their parents or jump through hoops for this).

Technically there was stuff like Skype but that never had the convenient team speak style chat rooms to drop in and out of freely.

Within months of suddenly getting popular, discord had a huge userbase that everybody was using already, and that momentum got us to the point where in some aspects its even replacing the role of wiki’s and forums even though its terrible at it.

And they killed most of their Jewish population! Wait…

This sounds like subtitles for a DVD commentary track, which were probably supposed to be a separate subtitle track but weren’t for some reason (or your player defaulted to them alphabetically).
