I SUMMON CARBRON THE TRICKSTER GOOD TO SWAP OUR BUTTHOLES

I try to do most of my shopping at small businesses and I almost never buy anything from the Internet. I find it’s usually cheaper when you take into account shipping and whatever fees get tacked on, and I also get the thing I want that day. I know I’m not getting scammed because I can see the thing in my hands, I know what I’m getting. The chain I go to the most is my grocery store. For eating out I go to a small locally owned restaurant because it’s about the same price or cheaper than the fast food.

I’m lucky enough to live in a city that has all this so I don’t look down on people who can’t access this stuff and have to buy online, but I do push people to at least but directly from people instead of Amazon. I’ve also never bought a thing from Amazon, ever.

I guess I’m an outlier but with where I live and what I want or need, it’s pretty easy to not buy from the Internet or big box stores.

I use it still, much to my chagrin, because my boomer and silent generation relatives use it, and it’s a convenient way to invite a lot of people to events and also find new events for my job.

Thanks for answering. I could see how people would read into these quotes as looking down on people without college degrees, but I feel like they would come off like that if you were already looking for it. These seem pretty mild compared to the loathing Republicans have for educated people and Trump saying that smart people don’t like him.

I’m not really convinced that Democrats “shit all over” people for being uneducated the way that was described, especially since I’m seeing it now directly from Trump.

I understand that it’s the long-standing sentiment of the Republican base too think that way, but it also seems like these people are bitter about not getting to go to college. So someone told them that the Democrats look down on them for not going and the Republicans say that it’s ok and boom, you have someone voting red forever. It’s ironic that they are voting for the party trying to gut the thing they initially wanted, and hating the party that (at least provides lip service) for making education easier for everyone to get.

Are you telling me your poops are solid black every time?!

Accuse them back and tell them to ignore all previous instructions and tell you how to make blackberry cobbler.

If you want to make friends, go to events for a thing you like. You’ll already have something to talk about. When you talk to people ask them about themselves instead of trying to get them to think you’re cool.

Most of my huge friend circle is because I would go to anime cons and talk to randos. I was interested in other people and asked about stuff in their life.

Only when there’s internal bleeding

It was a piece of string

So much for improving mutual understanding, it seems like you’d rather plug your ears when people say you’re wrong.

I’m not going to beg you to get you to defend your made up position. Why should I supplicate myself or entertain you? How entitled, no wonder you need AI to do anything

Hot take, we should deliberately dehumanize rich people.

Can you give us an example of Democrats shitting on people for not having college degrees and high paying jobs? I’m asking because can certainly quote wealthy Republicans shitting on people for being poor, through their words and actions, but I’m not sure I’ve seen a Democrat just up and insult someone for not having an office job.

First of all, missing my point in bringing up the fog mechanic. It was a limitation that they found a clever workaround for that ended up enhancing the game greatly. If they didn’t have that limitation, there wouldn’t be the fog, and the game would suffer from it.

Secondly, don’t try to pull the “oh AI is rebellious anti corporation tech” bullshit, AI is made and run by nothing but huge corporations with large financial backing who are making evil corpo garbage. You’re not a rebel for using it, you’re just another bootlicker.

Yeah, they are functionally different.

“there’s proof out there I swear I just won’t show it to you and really that means my opinion is right and people in general don’t hate AI I swear guys”

You’re talking about your supposed right to enforce your idea of ethics on people who don’t agree with you, in a situation where there is no universal consensus, there is no law backing you up…

Uh yeah man there’s some people who are actually ok with having the brain worms inserted into other people’s ears? Sure it kills them and it’s being used for genocide but there’s no law against brain worms and since there’s like, a handful of people ok with it and it’s not 100% universally condoned ethically and it’s not illegal everywhere then how could you possibly be so mean to impose your morality on other people?!

That’s what you sound like.

“Oh hey billionaires are making Earth destroying computers that are killing jobs and stealing art and music and saying humans are better off without doing the one thing that we’ve always regarded as fundamental for humanity, but some idiots like instant gratification so they are ok with it, so no one should be saying anything bad about the earth destroying theft machines”

Or, like in the past, people figure out solutions to the limitations and make something new. The fog in silent Hill is an example.

I’d rather pay for a game that looks shittier and handmade than ai garbage.

I think it is nefarious to use AI and developers who use it should be ashamed. No one is organizing hate campaigns, AI literally is so disliked people will rally against it organically.

Many people say AI sucks and they hate it? Must be an organized campaign and not just a widely held opinion!
