The mission was to make them feel unwelcome. I think that was a resounding success and I don’t expect many will be staying in the US after graduation.

Worthy of a crosspost to wholesomenews.

…has caught the eye of major investors, reportedly including Jeff Bezos.

Goddamnit!

She has beauty, grace, and a body worthy of Botticello painting.

Someone was HEAVILY inspired by Contapoints’ videos.

Give him a break. Commiting ethnic cleansing and rampant genocide can be very time consuming and distracting.

That’s ludicrous. Personally, I could never flang someone under those constraints.

Poor Katy. The roasting is endless even though it’s the piece of shit Bezos who actually deserves it.

I was interested in Diablo IV when it was released which, after a few videos, led YouTube to recommend Asmondgold. I watched one or two of his videos and the next thing I know my feed is full of maga and manosphere trash. Most of it had innocuous titles and thumbnails but a few minutes in I was being bombarded with lies, bad faith arguments, logical fallacies. Don’t even get me started with where funny Garand Thumb videos will lead. All I could think of was how Al Queda and ISIS recruited people with videos posted online.

EDIT: For the most part, I liked Asmondgold, but the algorithm leads from him to very dark places.

I thought about getting an M4 MacBook Pro with all the bells and whistles for that same reason but I just don’t need it.

You can self host a lot on something like that.

The one place I see a huge leap is in MacBooks. The capabilities of a 2015 Intel based MBP are laughable when compared to an M4 based 2025 MBP. I use an MBP for my music production and I just cannot make it choke, no matter what I throw at it.

I maintain a work computer separate from my “everything system”.

I use noise cancelling headphones and play music that I know puts me in the zone (mostly electronic with basic beats and droning).

I have blackout curtains so that I can’t see out the window during work hours.

Ethnic cleansing.

Wait… that’s plastic?!?

Coffee knocks me out. Between the warmth and the actual ADHD relief, it is very hard to keep my eyes open.

Facebook Meta is a cancer.

I remember when a ten year old laptop was just trash, unable to even boot a modern OS. Current hardware capacity exceeds our actual demand by so much that a ten year old computer is still adequate for most users (assuming you aren’t on Windows).

My 8 year old 1080ti graphics card can run most games perfectly fine on a 1080p/60 screen (still the most common spec budget monitor). I would not be surprised if it that PC hits 10+ years of gaming without a real need for upgrade.

No way! Now that I noticed it, it is a source of entertainment.
