marked as rude, alas
If I'm being annoying, tell me. If I'm not doing it on purpose, I'll probably stop.
In memorial of #WorldAIDSDay I will repost the art exhibit I attended and posted on social media that people used to get me fired.

Daily reminder than there are no such things as incels. It's a nonsense term used to remove personal responsibility for being loveless losers.

Who is championing AI? Pathetic freaks like this dipshit.

I'd call them pathetic but I cannot muster the pathos

I bet that split second of spinal decompression when you're hanged feels so good.

These dipshits are not our allies and do not support us. They are just shitty scam artists.

What an historic and nonsensical attempt at a thought.

I cannot imagine functioning in this world being this stupid. It's almost impressive.
this is a bluesky bubble opinion. 800M+ people use chatgpt every week. I hate Facebook and Instagram and I wish they didn’t exist, but 3B and 2B people use them every month, respectively. it’s very hard to picture a mass or even a niche left backlash against them
i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills

I got the rabbits a new brown paper bag. Rexy is going absolutely ham on it.

Would we feel bad if an East German killed a Stasi? Why do we have to pretend we give a shit when a present day brown shirt gets killed?

I simply do not understand. But I'd like to.

There are 5400 data centers in the U.S. alone.

You have to go out of your way to be this niave.
The question to ask here is whether 5 million gallons a day is a lot by industrial water consumption standards

An acre of soybean farm consumes ~5,000 gallons/acre/day, so 5 million gallons is about 1,000 acres of soybeans - if an average soybean farm has 300 acres that's just over 3 soybean farms

Unless you intend to lie, I think trying your utmost to be as clear and comprehensive is very important and I do not understand people who feel otherwise.

if you use AI in any capacity on social media you are a dipshit scumbag, there are no exceptions

the only thing more pathetic than the president is all the chumps pointing out how pathetic he is.

oh wow, you caught him lying, thanks for passing that along.

Savatage's "Wake of Magellan" album is phenomenal, but not nearly as good as the linear notes. which I think are required reading to fully feel the album.

I, too, believe lying liars and the lies they tell. Aren't I so fair and balanced? So smart!
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.

I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

Legally changing my name to Hague so at least someone can start the trials.

There is no reason to act polite or understanding to people who operate in bad faith.

Make their lives worse (socially).

Everyone deserves food, safety, and the ability to grow, but they can also be a pariah until they learn better.
