I just hate the idea of someone defending a billionare or trillion dollar company for any reason. There is no legitamite reason for them to even exist, since there's no way to obtain THAT MUCH ammount of money without unethical deeds. And anytime you criticize them on ANYTHING, people will still do mental gymnastics to defend these evildoers to act like unpaid PR.

Example: "So what if shipping isn't ACTUALLY free? They HAVE to bake shipping costs into the actual product in order to make a profit!"

Like, congradulations! You are correct! What did that acomplish for you? Other than the fact that you succesfully defended false advertising and ripping people off and terrible customer service in general. Why even care that they make more profit to begin with?!

I like that answer.

I don't disagree with Mr Beast being a scammer and abuser, and I also don't disagree with a domain not being untrustworthy just because it's a .com domain.

That being said, I should point out that the news/media isn't exactly reliable. NBC is no exception. Even if the article is true (which it most likely is), I wouldn't blame someone for not trusting NBC.

Odd way to admit that you're the one being disengenuous and not me.

Thank you. I have no idea why my post is getting so many downvotes.

 

How is it that we managed to abolish slavery? How do we have an age of consent? How do we have minimum wage? Everyone in power is evil and hates us, but why are women still allowed to vote? How come minimum wage hasn't lowered or been removed entirely?

And more importantly, how do we get good things to happen again? Because it seems like no matter where someone is on the political spectrum, THEY'RE ALL EVIL and they hate us. (And even if they didn't, they're still controlled by evil billionares.)

"Mostly avoid it nowadays", my ass!

It's still a MAJOR part of the Pokemon franchise to this day! Sword & Shield, Scarlet & Violet, and even THE LEGENDS GAMES make all sorts of establishments where Pokemon are eaten, wether they're in Pokedex entries to the literal food you eat in-game. So saying "they mostly avoid it nowadays" is bullshit.

That's bullshit. Edible Pokemon are still a major part of Gamefreak's games to this day.

See? I told you Gen 10 is AI slop.

Also, the new legendary Pokemon don't even look like Pokemon. They look like AI trying to immitate Pokemon

The environments and the new starter Pokemon are obviously AI-Generated.

 

Seriously, it makes no sense! Pokemon have LITERALLY been established to be eaten ever since Generation 1, and Pokemon are still eaten in-universe to this very day. New food-themed Pokemon are made ALL THE TIME, and the eating hasn't stopped.

Know what the worst part is?

YOU CAN'T EVEN QUESTION THEM!

They get all angry and pissed off, and they refuse to answer the question. "People will find a way to ruin it, and you don't need to know how!" they say, as if literally ANY conversation can't be ruined.

Pokemon is a dark franchise that is LITERALLY about animal abuse and child gambling, and it's full of innapropriate themes. Despite popular belief, Pokemon is NOT an innocent franchise at all!

Why can't we talk about eating Pokemon if it CANONICALLY HAPPENS all the time?! Why the fuck can't we even question them?!

 

I hear that it's quite possible to jailbreak your kindle these days, and that sounds super cool.

But a lot of e-Readers tend to be quite expensive. Why would you purchase an e-Reader if you already have your phone? Even if you didn't, your average phone is still gonna be cheaper than an e-Reader. Depending on the phone you'll get, it's also more durable and portable, probably even waterproof. Phones also tend to have more storage than ereaders. They even come with color. (I know color e-Readers exist, but they're even MORE expensive, and they also come with their own issues that black-n-white e-Readers don't have.)

Yeah, eReaders have more battery life than phones, and they're also easier on the eyes. But overall, why buy an e-Reader to jailbreak if you already have a phone?

 

No, this isn't a case of different people having different opinions about different ways to obtain information during different times. More often than not, I find that the SAME people who act like Wikipedia is the most unreliable thing on Earth unironically trust the FIRST Google Search result they see, as well as everything they've ever seen in ChatGPT.

Need I remind you that Google is LITERALLY designed to cater to your biases? And it's gotten WORSE because the first result you see is NOW AI-Generated. Also, Google is not a source! And AI Chatbots cite THEMSELVES as sources!

Wikipedia on the other hand is curated by REAL VOLUNTEER HUMANS who strive to be accurate as possible. I'm aware that Wikipedia is no stranger to agendas or vandalism, but these editors are quick and dedicated to be as accurate as possible. So much so that whenever a building is on fire, they LITERALLY label it as "Status: Burning". Not burned... BURNING! ~~Meanwhile, Google tells you to put glue on your pizza...~~

And yes, I know that Wikipedia is not a source. Like Google, Wikipedia is a GATEWAY to sources, and not a source in and of itself. But at the very least, Wikipedia DOESN'T try to give you what you will like, because you'll get what is (most likely) the truth instead, backed up by several CREDIBLE sources that are constantly fact-checked by volunteer humans.

So why do people hate Wikipedia so much? And why do these SAME PEOPLE cite Google and ChatGPT as a source?

 

It’s no secret that the AI-Bubble is bursting, and nobody can deny it without lying. Sora-AI has shut down, Copilot has become less invasive, Chat-GPT needs ads now, Grok is desperately advertising on DeviantArt of all places, The Oscars is requiring human-made acting now, and even the Supreme Court has ruled that AI can’t be copyrighted. The AI-Chatbots and Image Genrators have also gotten worse at their jobs, and RAM sticks are also getting cheaper.

Which is something weird that I have noticed about the Five Nights at Freddy’s series. How have the animatronics been so smart since the 1980s. I’m aware that a few of the animatronics are possessed by children, but many are not.

Especially the Funtime animatronics from the 1990s. They’re all designed by William Afton, and none of them are possessed except for Circus Baby. Not only are the AIs of today stupid, but do you wanna know the smartest AI we’ve ever had in the 2000s? Frucking CLEVERBOT!!! That’s right, even before the big AI boom that every sane person loathes, AIs weren’t even smart back then.

So if new AIs are stupid, and the smartest AI that we’ve ever had was Cleverbot, then how are the animatronics in Five Nights at Freddy’s so smart, even if they’re not possessed by children?
