Hi, there!

💆

I was born in 1989, so I am an ancient grandpa and demand respect for my lawn. (/s ya right like I own a house)

(P.s. I am not a sexy hairy ripped daddy bear, but I do own a cat named Tammy 🐈‍⬛)

  • Tldr: youtube forced ai into video monitoring and it keeps killing videos it shouldn’t, so instead of saying Ai is bad they’re blaming af blockers because why not lie when there’s no repercussions?

    YouTube views are dropping because they are using AI to vet and cull age innappropriate content from minors. the problem is the ai is very bad at its job and marks way too many videos as not advertiser friendly, which effectively kills YouTube promoting that video in feeds. this is the default view for new accounts, so you have to specifically turn off parental controls to see a normal feed. this started happening about 4 months ago. a number of channels I watch have made comments about this, including Redlettermedia

    this developer is a big prick. i had an issue (that turned out to be user error after getting help from another source) with the android version of duckstation so went to their discord for support. instead of offering any aid or insight, i was immediately stereotyped as “an android user” and told “we don’t offer tech support for android” basically for no other reason than “because android users bitch too much and then give you a bad review,” which is just kind of insane imo? there’s no downside to bad reviews like you’re not going to get delisted? anyways, completely not surprised to hear this from that ass. it genuinely seems like this guy hates developing duckstation at all and i am confused why he bothers. give it up man, sounds like you’ll be happier


  • i am poor myself and am fully aware of the assistance options available in my area. sitting on the corner with a sign is not a good solution to poverty. i will happily pay 10$ for a rose or cup of mango slices, but sitting around and guilt tripping money out of people that are just trying to get to work or focus on the road is not an ethical use of peoples time imo, no matter how poor you are.






  • we constantly ignore atrocities as a species. it is not new. it is not every persons responsibility to play morality police and risk their lives to defend other people. people were not evil just because they DIDN’T fight the nazis. fighting FOR the nazis? yes. but condemning people for not fighting is fucking asinine and not something ANY person is obligated to do and I’m tired of people acting like it is


  • i see this posted a lot. so why don’t you go do it yourself? i know why: because you KNOW that taking up arms and attacking ICE will make Trump send his army at you to kill you, and all this will accomplish is make you a martyr they can use in propaganda OR ignite a full on civil war. i am tired of seeing this post. stop encouraging people to do things that YOU YOURSELF find unreasonable to do. and if you find it reasonable, than put up and shut up and stop fucking posting about it to look cool. we’ll see you on the news.


  • i live in a really great location for getting onto a bunch of different highways. because of this, ubers circle the area because they are closer to more things. it shows you the ubers in the area, and I will see like 8 or 9 going in circles, waiting. so i select the “wait and save” option on the app, because it’s 3 dollars less and figure the wait won’t be long because demand is low and there are plenty of drivers. nope. it literally just enabled a timer that didn’t put my order through until it was over. it wasn’t giving me a deal for being flexible with my pickup time, it was CHARGING ME 3$ just to have the privilege of them not withholding my service order arbitrarily.

    fuck uber man that made me so mad
