  • Dude. Your first reply was some age based condescending bull shit. You’re really gonna play the ableist card at this point?

    You can do it. You can admit you hyperfocused on one sentence, started with some condescending comment, and then kept doubling down.

    I’ve given you so many opportunities to just say “yeah, I was nitpicking your comment”.

    I even reached out to you as clearly someone that is recognizing your own atypical brain in empathy. Like, it’s just you and me reading these comments at this point mate. You can admit you started this is bad faith; and I can admit I took the bait.


  • Holy shit the level of autism in you. I can’t compete.

    I’m autistic too, but I fall for this a lot trying to explain to other autistic people that don’t understand. You are being an asshole when you take every sentence someone says literally. Especially, in the context of a completely different point someone is trying to make.

    I said to rent a dvd. In the context of the post that is a suggestion to get media in different ways.

    You can pirate shit, you can go to the library (some have HUGE selections for free), etc. That was the INTENTION of that sentence. A neuro typical person would understand this. Hell, most autistic people would understand this. But you sure are going on another level to purposely misunderstand the point of my comment.


  • They’re still operating them mate. Doesn’t matter if they’re all universally owned.

    But, holy shit, this wasn’t even my point. It was about owning something! I used DVD to refer to owning physical media instead of watching a movie while paying for a subscription and watching ads at the same time.

    Pirate your media, buy DVDs at thrift stores or Facebook marketplace, or whatever. That was my point. It’s amazing to me that people pay for cable and pay for streaming services and still watch ads.



  • I can kinda get that. I probably see more ads than I think I do. Self adblock from your brain.

    I don’t know if it’s my spectrum brain or if this happens to other people. But I realized that I have literally mistlenly trained my brain to ignore REALLY OBVIOUS warning signs because they basically are designed the same as ads.

    I’m the idiot trying to figure out why something isn’t working with the big sign next to me telling me why.

    Small tiny text sign in black on white. Well, that looks important. I’ll read that. Big red bold and underlined sign. Can’t fucking see it.


  • I abolished it almost entirely from my life since I was about 10 years old. Have spent most of my media consumption on the internet with adblock. I honestly think it made me smarter. Not, in like a book smart way. But just having a better sense of reality.

    The Superbowl is one of the only times I see ads every year. It just shocks me. Not that “ads work on people” but that people don’t just go read a book or rent a dvd instead. Like, they are so fucking awful and ruin any watching experience.

    Its amazing that there is a large portion of the population that literally spends 10%-20% of their media time watch ads.

    To the common person. Maybe. But China seems to be pretty willing to fuck with America for the time being and keeps creating more efficient and more application specific AI models (while the US is just chasing some dream of a generalized AI that is hitting a brick wall hard).

    I think the actual useful AI models we use in 10 years will be much more like what China is focusing on; and a generalized AI will not actually be achievable.

    Don’t hate AI because copyright is being violated. Copyright was just invented and expanded to protect corporate profits. It has never and will never be something to protect artists.

    They will do the same here. Copyright will be changed to favor corporate profits. The only thing that will happen is that Disney and other big media corporations want a piece of the pie. No law favouring copyright protection with AI will EVER be for artists benefits.

    This is just corporate infighting. They’ll definitely say that it’s to “protect artists”. It’s not. Copyright never has been about protecting artists.










  • I literally never encouraged violence mate. I explained a real situation where thousands of people are being given the option of (1) get brutalized, kidnapped, or killed. Or (2) defend yourself.

    That’s it. You didn’t like that that was reality. I don’t like that either. But I understand why people will resort to violence as a means of defense from state violence. They will when all other systems have failed them. And they have. We are at the stage of SS troops door knocking for papers if you didn’t notice.

    YOU want people to keep choosing option (1). (Or are just ignorant which is clearly your issue) So you’re incorrectly labeling me as the problem for even acknowledging that (2) is an option.

    That’s not encouraging violence. It’s acknowledging reality of what happens when people are brutalized by the state. I don’t want option (1) or (2). I want an option (3) the systems of state government to defend citizens. But that’s not happening. They are offering NOTHING to stop people from being attacked.

    You took my criticism of the lack of any option (3) as being advocating for option (2). I’m just acknowledging reality. Are you in denial and think option (3) is “going to work later” or something? Later isn’t fucking helpful when it’s happening right now and (1) and (2) are the choices.

    I hope that clears it up. Because I’m not going to engage in your radlib identity bullshit you just tried to inject into the conversation for no reason.

    But, you are ignorant of what’s going on in the streets. Watching a video isn’t giving you an experience of reality mate. You say I’m wrong that you’re ignorant of this and then literally admit you can’t go out on the streets. You are by definition ignorant of the experience on the street. Like, holy shit, how can you say you’re not? You admitted it right after saying I’m wrong for calling you ignorant. Like, this level of hubris is shocking.


  • Excuse me, but why haven’t you started the (counter) violence yourself then?

    Asking such a dumb question shows your complete ignorance of activism or organization. But I don’t want you being turned off from it by a frustrated internet commenter.

    Maybe. I’m wrong. But you really sound ignorant. If you aren’t doing anything, instead of replying with another condescending comment, do something else instead. Go search for DSA, PSL, or any immigrant rights organizations in your area and go sign up for the next available meeting. Join a meetup IN PERSON some time this week or next. Find a way to help.

    If you’re not in the US. Then I don’t know why you’d even reply in the first place. So, I’m assuming you are.
