oh my

[spare knoll]

lol isnt this on the wikipedia article for sexy clothing

[mild nacelle]

why were you looking at that leosefcik

[spare knoll]

😳

its there https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_and_PVC_fetishism

at the bottom

[stray tiger]

I hate those, makes it super hard to take quick photos

I wish they designed them to expose the camera but people would probably find it weird looking to have a big front cutout

[late ingot]

That is true but I rarely take photos

[stray tiger]

O yeah, then I guess it doesn't matter as much. I take tons and use the camera pretty often in general so it's stunningly obnoxious

[late ingot]

Phones should automatically take a photo if the camera application is open and the word "cheese" is heard

[mild nacelle]

ya that is where I got it. I was looking up pvc though. so my reason for being there was more defensible

[late ingot]

That way you don't have to awkwardly thumb the screen whilst trying to hold the case

[stray tiger]

I think mine does, there are a few trigger words. I think it might only work with the selfie cam though, which is dumb

[late ingot]

I feel like this is one I can just about grasp if I think really hard about it

There are some fetishes where I can't imagine the mindset at all

[late ingot]

Selfie cam should trigger on any racial slur and sent the photo of you to the police

[stray tiger]

I have the power button set to open the camera on double press, then I think the volume down button snaps a pic

[mild nacelle]

racial slurs are legal in the us though

[late ingot]

My Dad (who is retired now) stopped by today and spent a few hours planting some fruit tree saplings and bushes in my garden

Hopefully I don't end up killing them

[stray tiger]

Yeah, I mean liking the feeling and/or look seems pretty reasonable

I mean, I notably dislike the feeling of like rubber or neoprene sticking to my skin so I can imagine someone would like it

[late ingot]

I mean the wokeness police, or whatever the group responsible for cancelling people is called

[mild nacelle]

ACLU maybe

[stray tiger]

ACLU used to be radically free speech, to the extent they supported the right of neo-Nazis to rally

[mild nacelle]

oh shit

[late ingot]

I find a lot of civil liberties organisations moved away from radical free speech positions after the 90s

[stray tiger]

I don't think they tend to anymore, yea

Kind of unfortunate, there's another org that's just about straight up freedom of expression now though. Forgot the name but I saw a billboard for them

[late ingot]

Because there were cases in a lot of countries where civil rights groups would represent neo-Nazis or Maoist terror groups in court if they couldn't find other representation

[late ingot]

The issue I find with that is a lot of groups claiming this only really mean freedom of right-wing populist expression

[mild nacelle]

part of america we lost
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"

[late ingot]

And wouldn't lift a finger for anyone else

[stray tiger]

I definitely don't think they support terroristic incitement post-9/11 as one of the few categories of nonprotected speech in the US

[late ingot]

Incitement to terrorism is a situation where you can frame it as a type of criminal conspiracy rather than an expression of opinion imo

[stray tiger]

A lot of that is oddly left wing now, very weird bedfellows to have far right islamists and the far left coming together

[late ingot]

Trying to directly influence others to carry out acts of violence

[stray tiger]

Yeah, it gets shaky around the edges. Narrowly applied, that seems fine though

[late ingot]

It would need to be clearly semantically defined though, like "I wish someone would go and do X" vs. "You should go and do X"

[stray tiger]

That's where it gets shaky but also realistic, like if it's an actual established group vs. just yapping, they're much more likely to actually act

Nick Fuentes yelling from a loudspeaker to storm the Capitol seems like it should have gotten him in trouble, especially when they threw the book at random people who took an informal tour 🤔

Cough fed cough

[late ingot]

Given that the US prosecutes people as murderers even when they did not actually kill someone themselves, it seems to logically follow that someone who calls on people to riot who immediately go on to riot is not exercising protected speech, yeah

[mild nacelle]

two of the J6 pardonees have been re-arrested for pdf filia. one of them is arguing that if his phone wasnt searched for being arrested for J6, the evidence wouldnt have been found and therefore the pardon should exempt him

[stray tiger]

It probably should, though I don't like it : /

[late ingot]

I think the credibility of the threat is pretty important to shield people who angrily write "I'm gonna blow up <insurance provider>'s office" while posting a picture of a claim denial letter

Where the threat is clearly not real and is a reflection of immense frustration

[mild nacelle]

but cant they just raid his house right now on suspicion. anyone can call in a tip

[stray tiger]

Probably, that's definitely where it gets super shaky. I don't think they generally do prosecute that, though there's a lot of threatening

[late ingot]

In the UK the prosecution guidance also sets out when the threat is directed at someone clearly vs. being made without the supposed target of the threat having the remarks directed at them

[stray tiger]

Lol good point, I'll go do that now if so

[late ingot]

So if you @ some footballer on twitter and say "you are a <racial slur>" that does fit the definitions of malicious communication, whereas writing it on some random forum for fans of another club is less likely to be so

[mild nacelle]

the same minute they give his phone back.

"oh yeah while we're here, here's a search warrant for your phone. "

[stray tiger]

I'm pretty sure it's similar in the US, like the threats usually do have to be targeted and actionable

[late ingot]

I think the difference between the UK and US is just what prosecutors feel incentivised to target

[cursive kelp]

🇺🇸🇯🇵⚡️ — President Trump on Iran:
Japan is really stepping up... unlike NATO.

[mild nacelle]

america doesnt have any legit business in iran, why would nato

[late ingot]

Because you could build a harassment case against someone who repeatedly uses offensive language against someone online even if that's "speech"

In general your freedom of speech is qualified by another private individuals right to not have to listen to you

[late ingot]

Pakistan is busy fighting Afghanistan

Another reason why America should have given its allies and strategic partners a bit of notice not to start their own wars or training exercises

[stray tiger]

The internet can really amplify random voices and incite targeted harassment. I mean, I'm surprised how much that people with outsized platforms targeting non-public figures can get away with

[late ingot]

What really frustrates me about fake news in alleged "freedom of speech" cases is that they distract from real infringements of free speech

[stray tiger]

It seems like the only difference between ruining someone's life in that way and outright terror is affiliation with an established group in many cases

[late ingot]

If you apply the test of "who was the victim here and how were they victimised?" you can separate cases into quite distinct categories

A lot of the fake news reports about the UK are loosely based on cases where a person consistently harassed someone

[stray tiger]

I don't love it when it's very clear someone is trying to ruin someone else's life and they have the flimsiest of excuses about "just revealing facts" or "citizen journalism"

[late ingot]

The heavily edited videos of police turning up "out of the blue" to the shock of the person being arrested is usually far from the truth

[stray tiger]

u got a loicense for that tweet bruv

[late ingot]

"Citizen journalism" is a way to dodge questions about the ethics of reporting or a commitment to facts

It is fascinating fact checking the stuff our news correspondent here gets from Telegram

And working out how the story got twisted

[stray tiger]

Yeah, the fact that "real" journalists often similarly use out of context quotes and are aggressively biased doesn't help lmao

[late ingot]

Especially the ones about European left-wing politics, which crosses into my subject matter expertise and are easier to recognise as being flagrantly untrue

[late ingot]

All the sources for the thing that got posted about Die Linke in Germany having a "crisis" due to "antisemitism" were from Jewish news websites and papers

Every single source

No reporting on it from any other source

[stray tiger]

Oh wow, lmao

[smoky owl]

🚨BREAKING: Three boys who were accused of raping a girl in bushes when they were 12, 13 and 14 have been found not guilty on all counts today. 😧

Minshull Street Crown Court heard that the boys denied claims they had 'taken it in turns' and 'swapped positions' during the incident which was allegedly also filmed on a mobile phone.

Two of the youths, now aged 15 and 16, were standing trial at Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court. The third, who was aged 12 at the time and is now 14, had been deemed unfit to stand trial, jurors were told.

The three boys denied the charges and said at trial it was 'consensual'.

Following a two-week trial, the now 16-year-old and the now 15-year-old were found not guilty of three offences of rape.

[late ingot]

The real story was that an individual member of Die Linke who is Jewish and is an "antisemitism commissioner" for an eastern German state resigned from the party in protest at them passing a pretty standard pro-Palestine, anti-Zionist motion

Claiming without any apparent basis that it was antisemitic

many such cases

[stray tiger]

I used to watch Russia Today to see the kind of stuff they focus on and watched some Al Jazeera during the early war in Gaza and it was a little wild to see how they made these super marginal or nonexistent stories seem like they must dominate the global news cycle

[late ingot]

Russia Today is really insidious

I refuse to watch or listen to any of their content regardless of what it is

[stray tiger]

Like spending 15-20 minutes of each hour, then random hour long specials on things that were literally absent from the BBC World Service

[late ingot]

Its slow burn toxicity that undermines your sense of reality

[stray tiger]

I haven't watched it in years, what kind of things?

[late ingot]

Yeah, its a very long tested strategy

I used to socialise with Russians online a lot more and they were relatively open minded, but would ask me about events in the UK that I'd never heard of or have no corresponding news report here

Things that they made sound very significant

You can tell Johnny looks at similar news sources because he brings up the same sort of stuff about obscure far-right activists in the UK

[stray tiger]

They don't scream about it per se, but they do have op-ed people come in and scream, then the main newscasters just speak on it normally as if it was a huge story

Of course if there's a victim or supposed one they parade them in front of the camera

[late ingot]

The long running psy-op has been claiming western Europe has a far-right problem whilst also bankrolling the European far-right

[stray tiger]

They put "experts" on whose history is insanely one sided

But they talk about it a lot, so they muuust be an expert

[late ingot]

Sometimes not just one right-wing option but several, to hedge their bets

[gusty ravine]

@stray tiger going off

[late ingot]

Some of those same figures turned on them once they built their own powerbase which is funny

Like Meloni-chan in Italy

Was expected to be a Russian stooge but wasn't by and large

And you get populists being pressured to denounce the US and Russia alike due to public pressure, as they can't fully control the narrative and sometimes it runs away from them

Being a slow burn propaganda strategy, Russian propaganda networks sometimes struggle to keep up with rapidly unfolding events and offer a counter narrative that will stick

[gusty ravine]

or in other news
https://www.markround.com/blog/2026/03/05/returning-to-rails-in-2026

[late ingot]

The title made me think it'd be about investment in train infrastructure, boring

[gusty ravine]

boring 🛹

[late ingot]

Perhaps they are genuinely not guilty

[fervent basin]

The three boys denied the charges and said at trial it was 'consensual'. lol

filmed on mobile phone, well who knows what

[stray tiger]

Uhhh I mean I did that sort of thing quite consensually at that age, but I imagine it depends on what's on the video

[mild nacelle]

wouldn that be production of phild corn

[fervent basin]

ye, who knows if it was done or not though

[stray tiger]

They don't usually prosecute minors for that unless they distribute it, though even then if it's to other minors it's kinda shaky since they're clearly not who the law is meant to target

[late ingot]

Yeah, I think a lot of people don't seem to grasp that some kids do get up to that stuff at that age, and it being in the bushes is a result of not being able to get away with it at home

And there's an obvious pressure for the girl to reframe it as non-consensual retrospectively if it gets found out or she has regrets about it

[gusty ravine]

apt

[late ingot]

That's why you can't eliminate the burden of proof in such a case or default to taking her story at face value

[late ingot]

The UK can and does prosecute minors distributing videos of that stuff to others their age, though generally prioritising instances where the video was clearly distributed without the consent of a participant and especially in cases where their identity was clearly stated

[stray tiger]

I guess I'd have to sit through the trial, it could well be a horrible miscarriage of justice where these kids are legit predators. Or maybe it never should have even gone to trial and basically already has ruined the kids' lives. Could be either or anything in between

[late ingot]

Like "this is me and my ex, share it around and tell everyone what a bitch she is" is the sort of formula that can get someone on trial as a young offender

[gusty ravine]

reminds me i need a new watch

[stray tiger]

Yeah, I'd hope that gets prosecuted like any revenge corn case or maybe a bit harsher

I really don't trust the legal system to handle things like that consistently though

[late ingot]

My guess is that the crown prosecutor took the case as they figured it had a strong chance of conviction and may not have reviewed the full evidence at that point, (because obviously they wouldn't want to see the video) which gave them an unrealistic view of the defence strategy

Also I think in some of these cases they are literally relying on an expectation that the defence will be inadequate or they can arrange guilty pleas, as most kids in that situation are too intimidated by proceedings to actually go through a full trial

[cursive kelp]

🇳🇬 - Footage of the aftermath of the recent suicide bomber attack, which targeted a market in Nigeria.

[late ingot]

If they're told they could get a relatively lenient sentence for pleading guilty and potentially a very severe one if they're found guilty at trial, that makes life way easier for the prosecution

[late ingot]

The incentives are all fucked

With all the concerns about court backlogs and prisons being full I think people forget the hidden issues with due process and defendant rights

[stray tiger]

Yeaaah I don't lol, I cannot stand the fact that "plead guilty, get generous deal" is just the default

It means that innocent people are plea dealing all the time and the incentives are to drastically raise the stakes to disincentivize trial

So neither guilty nor innocent people are really getting due justice

[worldly loom]

UK prisons have space for people tweeting.

[late ingot]

I think banning plea deals for felonies would be needed (or whatever the equivalent term is per jurisidiction, in the UK basically for anything that reaches crown court)

[stray tiger]

Pretty similar yea

[late ingot]

Its actually a bit weird here, the Magistrates have far less sentencing discretion as they aren't really career judges in the same way, so it can be a valid strategy to have something moved to crown court so the judge can apply a lenient sentence after a guilty plea

[opal sentinel]

Can a christian guy like me date a satanist

[late ingot]

which is a strategy that worked in my brother's case

[stray tiger]

Oh damn, yeah I do not think that's ever the case in the US lol

[late ingot]

Seemed a bit risky by the Crown Court judge basically tore into the prosecution at sentencing and declined to impose any punishment

[stray tiger]

If you move something to a federal court it means you're almost certainly fuuuucked

[late ingot]

Just a temporary mark on the criminal record with any residual probation conditions lifted after a year

[late ingot]

Well in this case its about severity of the offence rather than legal jurisdiction

Like Magistrates Courts are there to prosecute low stakes cases for the most part

Like someone getting prosecuted for shoplifting or something

[stray tiger]

Damn. Frightening strategy to be at the whim of that judge though

[cursive kelp]

An Iranian missile strike hit the Haifa oil refinery, Israel’s largest and most critical fuel facility. The site supplies around 50-60% of the country’s fuel and processes roughly 197,000 barrels per day, making it central to transport, aviation and military supply. Power outages were reported across multiple areas of Haifa following the strike.

[late ingot]

They don't understand how British bureaucracy works

[sterile zealot]

they should attach goatse images to it

[late ingot]

If you reply to a British bureaucrat with random inaccurate historical claims and an AI generated image they will spend 30 seconds reading it and then just put it on file for later, and stick to their escalation timeline as if it didn't exist

You have to administratively stonewall back, just send the same message about lack of jurisdiction that is completely cold and emotionless, say their emails are being logged but any claims not related to jurisdiction will not receive a response until jurisdiction has been established

[sterile zealot]

in what way are these inaccurate or random

[fervent basin]

https://giphy.com/gifs/STRAPPEDUS-flightreacts-flight-reacts-team-stand-up-IfPE0x5gfa5ctKpph6

[late ingot]

Like always reply to every email with a boilerplate response with minor variations if they do make a claim about jurisdiction

[fervent basin]

4chan baiting

[late ingot]

The American Revolutionary War has no relevance to Ofcom's jurisdiction to regulate websites that offer services to UK users

[sterile zealot]

the fact that the uk doesnt have jurisdiction of the us does though

[late ingot]

If you wanted to waste their time, raise arguments about the regulation of American commerce visiting British ports

As that would be more relevant and suggest you have some degree of education

[late ingot]

That's not relevant to Ofcom's claim

Their claims are based on services provided "in" the UK

The nationality of the people providing that service is not relevant

The point of contention is whether 4chan is "in" the UK in a legal sense when it provides a service to a UK based user

Claims about that could relate to them actually selling things to them or benefitting from advertising revenue as a result of their visit

If you want to actually "troll" them then you have to misdirect about the substance of their claim, as British bureaucrats are not overgrown children who will be troubled by idiots writing in

Every regulator like this deals with weird and meritless submissions on a daily basis, they just share it around the office at laugh at the person submitting it

I've dealt with quasi-legal letters and emails before, you just reply with a template and ignore the rambling

[fervent basin]

it's basically semi-baiting to try and get them to accept liability when this stuff is on shaky legs in the first place

[late ingot]

Who to accept liability?

Ofcom is on solid ground legally

[fervent basin]

4chan

[gusty ravine]

2015 was the year i became political and stopped lying so much

[late ingot]

"Your laws don't apply to me, I'm AMERICAN" has never worked as a strategy in the UK or EU

4chan is free to block access to UK users at any time and communicate this to Ofcom

If it doesn't want to comply with the Online Safety Act which is pretty much the same provisions that apply in most American states anyway

[fervent basin]

this would be the best strategy, then people just use proxies lol

[late ingot]

And are rapidly coming to apply across most of the developed world

[late ingot]

Yeah

Have an arms length 4chan proxy that has direct sanction from them but they deny affiliation to

And allow all connections through that proxy even if they don't allow access on all VPNs and proxies due to the constant DDOS risks

4chan has had issues with DDOS attacks for years so they've often blocked access via VPN and proxies

[late ingot]

That may be part of it but I think its a broader human tendency to try to label everything and fit it into a system

Its a tendency that people criticised 2500 years ago

Its not actually anything new

At least it would be something less unneeded, not like "I'm a acxzf, that means i fuck goats but not sheep, and only when I feel a romantic connection"

It was often stuff about magic or supernatural states

Like star signs and divination in general have been a thing for a while

[opal sentinel]

I wonder when it is actually appropriate to create a specific label for a person's condition

[late ingot]

And people often tried to explain others in terms of sin or specific vices they had

[opal sentinel]

Because if you tried labelling everything that deviates about a person it's going to be unsustainable

You would have thousands of conditions

I think most of the time

[late ingot]

It shouldn't be done

You can describe symptoms or personality traits without placing them within a system though

You can bring people close to enlightenment through words but true understanding comes from within

[cursive kelp]

🇮🇷❌🇮🇱 — Iran has increasingly used cluster-warhead ballistic missiles against Israel, continuously scattering dozens of small cluster munitions over wide areas, creating a challenge for Israeli defenses, The Times of Israel reports.

➡️ The Israeli Air Force sometimes chooses not to intercept all bomblets to conserve interceptor missiles, as the submunitions are less dangerous if civilians are in shelters.

➡️ Since the war began on February 28, Iran has launched over 350 missiles, with roughly half, and possibly more recently, carrying cluster warheads.

➡️ The cluster warheads release 24–80 submunitions over a radius of up to 10 km, some of which fail to explode and remain hazardous.

➡️ The attacks have caused at least nine deaths and multiple injuries, with over 100 impact sites in populated areas, while Israel says its interception rate for major threats is about 90%.

I believe so yes because she's worked in the US before

In 1987, with sponsorship from Matsushita Institute, she moved to the United States to work as a congressional fellow for Democratic congresswoman Pat Schroeder.[6][12][13][14][15] In 1989, upon her return to Japan, she worked as a legislative analyst with knowledge of American politics, and wrote books based on her experience.

you don't get money from nothing, you give funds to a company so they can run operations in and in exchange they reward you for your trust in the form of dividend

there's nothing wrong with that imo as long as you tax it at a reasonable rate

[late ingot]

This is why I find gambling morally wrong

I have more of an issue with gambling and speculation than I do with actual traditional investment though

Putting money into a company and getting paid dividends until you cash out isn't really "something for nothing" in the same sense

[worldly loom]

Shorting is money for nothing.

maybe in south america

dividend rates are usually 2-3% here

might be higher in the usa

Day trading is yeah but putting your money into a few stocks and taking the dividends isn't gambling, its low risk exposure

Its a shame crypto at large became the focus of degenerate gambling and ponzi schemes

Because its actual original use case is fair enough

I'd rather see crypto go into a kind of partial collapse where only coins intended for use as an actual currency stick around, and others just go to zero

idk, the thing is that some jurisdictions are just advancing digital banking services and there's no financial reason for companies to get on board with crypto rather than just modernising along with that trend

A lot of the pain points people describe with normal money that makes them prefer crypto are not relevant or are fading from relevance with improvements in tech

The framing that crypto will "replace fiat" is still a scope creep and imo it should only ever have been understood as a substitute and a mechanism for frictionless international transactions

It's ultimately not about what people perceive to be "super great" but what there is momentum towards

And there is momentum towards payments in normal currency being very frictionless anyway

It doesn't work like that here

It biometrically locked

Having my card details wont help

Yeah

It inserts a message from my bank saying to provide biometrics on my phone

Or other agreed 2FA credentials

So I open my phone and give the biometrics, and then I click a button on the browser to confirm I did this

And if the credentials were actually supplied it goes through, otherwise it gives an error

You would fuck the money supply if you took that away

Endless lines credit for everyone is bad for sure, but you can't have a functional banking system where banks can only lend from money that isn't attributed to another customer's deposit

If you have a lender of last resort and properly underwrite deposits then you can insulate people from the risk of bank runs

[mild nacelle]

where would the liquidity come from, inflation 😮

[late ingot]

There is also no alternative that provides liquidity

Deflationary economies are fucked

If you opt out you would presumably receive 0 interest on your deposit though

As you can't have it both ways

In which case you essentially can just put your cash in a deposit box and pay fees to keep it

But that would cause your money to depreciate even without accounting for inflation

The other thing is that money is fungible so you can't describe a loan being made based on the balance in any one person's deposit

"opting out" doesn't really make sense in that regard

Like if you put your money in the bank you can't demand that the exact same serial numbered notes are returned to you upon withdrawal

I'm going to have to check but I feel like there basically are accounts of that nature in the UK where the internet is pretty much just 0 and they don't issue loans

Ok so you could use a Sharia compliant account lol

As they don't issue loans, but they do make investments to generate returns for depositors

Which is based on the same moral objection to loaning for interest

Credit unions only issue lines of credit to members which tends to be a more closed structure, and that's made clear to people using them

It's actually not though, provided I can pay the same value back to you in a reasonable amount of time if requested

[opal sentinel]

Lmaooo if you watch indian news you would start believing that the world is going to end every day

[late ingot]

I don't think you can successfully argue that some money you gave to another person "to keep safe" has to be returned to you with the same actual notes/coins you handed over

[opal sentinel]

This news channels are some of the worst

[late ingot]

You accept risk to your money if you keep it in a safe at home though

Or stuff it under your mattress

🇲🇽❌🏴💊⁉️ — Rumors are circulating online about the whereabouts of Mónica Zambada, daughter of "El Mayo" Zambada, the captured leader of the Sinaloa Cartel.

▶️ Local reports suggest she was captured during an operation in El Álamo, Sinaloa, but was released after locals harassed army units into liberating those detained.

▶️ Other unofficial versions claim that she was loaded into an army helicopter but was later released. No official statement has been released by Mexican authorities.

▶️ Mónica has been sanctioned by the U.S. Department of the Treasury for being part of her father's criminal network.

[late ingot]

And the amount of risk to your money is significantly less in a bank deposit

Since if the bank gets robbed they can't deduct a proportionate amount from your account to cover those losses

Risk is spread out massively

These banks also have banks they can borrow from in emergencies to pay back depositors

Even if they rarely use these lines of credit

If you consider that against alternative ways to store your money, you have to consider what is relatively more risky

imo putting it all into silver or stuffing it into a safe in your basement is actually more risky

You implicitly accept it at a bank

Well, explicitly since it'll be in their terms

And of course there are prepaid cards you can use which don't expose you to the risk that the money will be lent out and the borrower will default

No

[lethal finch]

https://tenor.com/view/growtopia-incident-growtopia-incident-growtopia-january-growtopia-2026-gif-2783921380043476714

[late ingot]

That's not how fractional reserve banking works

Your money is considered on a balance sheet, its not "your money" as a non-fungible pile of cash that gets lent out to any given person

But there are regulations to create lenders of last resort and also regulations to make depositors whole to a certain amount prior to anyone else being repaid

Plus insurance products coming into play

So risk is highly distributed

There's a reason why wealthy people only fill any given account up to a certain level before opening a new one - they don't want to exceed the legal threshold for full repayment of their deposit if the bank fails

Because having a deposit of £7mil and only getting repaid £500,000 or some shit would fucking hurt

[spare knoll]

did they give gorillions of world locks to everyone

[late ingot]

This is a regulatory issue though

You simply need to place ordinary savers on #1 on the list of people who have to be repaid when the bank becomes insolvent

even if that means they get paid by literally selling off all the equipment in every bank branch and selling the properties themselves

In the US one person sucessfully foreclosed on a bank branch after winning a judgement against them for wrongful foreclosure on her house

[lavish vale]

[late ingot]

Bailiffs started carrying out computers and stuff before the manager panicked and paid the money

Well in that case you would need to pay fees for them holding it otherwise it wouldn't make sense

And the effect would be the same as just 100% underwriting deposits up to a given threshold

As surely you wouldn't allow people to deposit millions into these zero lending accounts

Strangest person I have seen in quiet a while

[late ingot]

Yeah, but the same sort of type does seem to reappear for sure

People who are just unresponsive and can't seem to have two way conversations

But do seem to be saying something really vaguely related to something someone else said

[opal sentinel]

I don't think this is a linguistic issue, seems like this is how they behave online or have developed some sort of mechanism like this for interactions

Because I am sure that's now how they behave in real life

Even if it's odd

Well hey have a github account

[lavish vale]

are we slowly realising me is a bot? its always the ai enthusiasts to see it last

[late ingot]

I think sometimes it is, even if irl its less extreme

I've met people who just seem to talk at other people and only vaguely relate their remarks to what the other person says

irl they can see body language cues and other social feedback which means they don't yap quite as much

And you can interrupt people mid sentence irl

Not having any social feedback except text must be disorientating for someone who struggles to follow conversations at the best of times

[opal sentinel]

I am sure they are functional enough though

They have the capability of maintaining an online account

Which boomers cannot even after decades

[late ingot]

[coral bane]

hi

[opal sentinel]

I don't think they can follow up what we are saying

[late ingot]

And is it like sudden bouts of exhaustion of does it just build up

[late ingot]

It was just an example of a speech/language issue

Aphasia is interesting because its often temporary due to swelling in the brain

[lavish vale]

i am reading up on modafinil, is so boring i am falling asleep

[late ingot]

You can have it for a few days and then go back to normal

But he can't talk much

Then i find a new one

[opal sentinel]

And had difficulty understanding deeper

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Bærum_murder_and_mosque_attack

[lavish vale]

you should stop drinking caffeine, for at least 45 minutes after waking and 6 hours before going to bed

[late ingot]

A holistic approach could still be valid, it could be a nutritional deficiency for example

This is an insane case, a brother killed her adoptive sister who he was very close with after he was radicalised and killed her for not being ethnically norwegian

[mild nacelle]

I do be eating like shit

but its cuz im too tired to cook 😉

[mild nacelle]

I did try factor for a bit. and it was gross but maybe a different one will be better

[lavish vale]

arent most meal prep foods filled with sodium?

might be better off eating turds

[late ingot]

They can be

[opal sentinel]

I think the amount of Brits in this chat outnumber the Americans

[lavish vale]

the good meal prep places have like 2-3 day shelf life

[late ingot]

Imo the main thing is to avoid ones with ingredients likely to be covered in shitloads of preservatives

So yes the ones with short shelf life or ones that come frozen and urge you to immediately put them in the freezer on arrival are better

[lavish vale]

the irony of trump is that he doesnt even realise how offensive he is

he truly thinks himself charming in this moment

[inland hill]

YOOOOO

[late ingot]

Idk how self aware he is

[inland hill]

WHAT DA HEEEL

[lavish vale]

i guess lack of self awareness is a super power

alwo what is composer

[inland hill]

cursor's model

[lavish vale]

oh cursor ai bleah

[inland hill]

nah it is a good model

[lavish vale]

surprise surprise cursor ai runs well on cursor bench

[inland hill]

0.5 in 2.5 out

nah irl it is like sonnet 4.6 level

for a lot cheaper

and faster

kinda good

[lavish vale]

everything is sonnet 4.6 level but cheaper and faster

[inland hill]

no?

oai anthro and cursor

nobody else has

[lavish vale]

minimax m2.7, kimi k2.5, glm5... in my experience is basically sonnet 4.6

[inland hill]

eeh

notch below for me

they are like 4.5

[late ingot]

I mean, he might be more self aware than we realise

[inland hill]

sonnet 4.5 vs 4.6 was a nice jump

[lavish vale]

thats what i wanna know. is he the luckiest idiot, or the greatest conman

[late ingot]

I say stuff impulsively and internally realise it but don't show that to others

[inland hill]

composer made cute mobs

[gusty ravine]

ols is nailing it to the cross

[late ingot]

I think he's the sort of liar who lives his false reality

[lavish vale]

ok lets be real... is me just a v2ray experiment ?

[inland hill]

it is also ranked on swe

[late ingot]

He premeditated his lies but now it's integral to his life

[gusty ravine]

i am ai not a bot don't quote me

[late ingot]

I think they're just a mentally unwell person with language processing issues

[lavish vale]

thats how i would describe an llm to someone new

[inland hill]

cursor is a goat

not even losing much cash btw

enterprise net positive

retail slightly negative only

[late ingot]

The thing is that a lot of antipsychotics and other meds can induce language processing issues, and people can also just develop those issues without being insane per se

[lavish vale]

i will hand it to cursor, their marketing easily manipulates the masses

[inland hill]

https://tenor.com/view/crocs-crocodile-gif-26712618

ANthropic be like

we are good

[late ingot]

You see it people who just seem to be talking to themselves online, there's a bit of a pattern where they just latch onto a word and write some garbled remarks about it

[lavish vale]

garble garble garble sqawk!

[inland hill]

NEW CURSOR

[lavish vale]

does qpdv impression for a bit

[inland hill]

GLASS

LIKE APPLE GLASS

OMGOMGBUYBUY

[lavish vale]

isnt apple glass a mega fail?

[inland hill]

y

[lavish vale]

like everyone saying its harder to use and stupid dumb?

[gusty ravine]

if he is truly honest about his remarks then it's a no brainer

[late ingot]

Augmented reality in general just seems to be a losing proposition

[lavish vale]

oh i am thinking of the apple translucent ui schit

[late ingot]

Oh liquid glass?

[lavish vale]

yeah that bs

[late ingot]

Or whatever it's called

Idk I hate Apple slop regardless

[inland hill]

except neo

macbook neo is 700iq

https://tenor.com/view/crocs-crocodile-gif-26712618

[lavish vale]

macbook neo is the worst thing for the apple brand

[inland hill]

no

[lavish vale]

steve jobs is groaning from the grave

[inland hill]

no

[lavish vale]

imagine building an empire that projects highest quality, then bringing out an ugly brick

[late ingot]

Apple stopped innovating after his death anyway

They just repackage things as "new"

[lavish vale]

its worse... apple tries to innovate without jobs resulting in butterfly keyboards and other bs

why dont we put a notch on the screen? why dont we lose the function keys? stupid stupid stupidf

[late ingot]

Yeah but when they make shit things it just gets rejected by the consumer or gets regulated away

[inland hill]

?

[lavish vale]

jobs saved apple, without jobs apple dies (at least creatively)

[late ingot]

Like appletards still seethe about usb-c becoming standard and lightning getting regulated away

[inland hill]

https://www.wired.com/review/apple-macbook-neo/

[late ingot]

That much is true

[inland hill]

why is it a brick

[lavish vale]

check the weight

[late ingot]

It was a weird niche thing in 2005 or so

[inland hill]

tf cares?

not that heavy

[lavish vale]

apple is like the Guccie of tech, and now they are pushing walmart

[sterile zealot]

i want my computer to be made out of reinforced titanium and weigh 50 kg

why isnt anyone making this

[inland hill]

???

they have the same weight

neo and air

tf r u talking abt

yes

10/10 move

[lavish vale]

you truly dont appreciate why apple is popular. its not because of the tech, its because of the social status

[inland hill]

became the boring status

since even homeless men have it

in the usa tech is not much of a flex

when rent is 3k+

yea

poorest 10% uses iphones too

but is in debt

[lavish vale]

being an apple user is like being a vegan, it only matters when you express it to other ppl

[inland hill]

yeah and they will

[lavish vale]

now imagine the vegan is proud of eating a big mac

[inland hill]

neo is the new cool and now ppl will buy air to outflex neos

the ones who buy neo would've never bought air

[lavish vale]

exactly

[inland hill]

so u will see more neo

AND more air

[gritty perch]

I got blue messages you got green you android peasant- apple users be like

[inland hill]

[pine patrol]

new model?

[inland hill]

ye

the best tool user is still 5.3 xhigh imo

[mild nacelle]

apple is Naturally Intelligent, Gorgeous, Generous, Exemplary, and Radiant

[inland hill]

far cheaper than 1.5 too

0.5 in 2.5 out at api rates

[lavish vale]

you mean apple is Negligent, Inept, Gross, Greedy, Embarrassing and Repulsive

[late ingot]

https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/s/8GQjwcsGfh @slim coral reaction pls

I think this explains my point better than I can

It's not "decel", it's just an explanation of why AI alone can't solve major problems

[inland hill]

it could

if u let it edit the human dna

[late ingot]

Read the article first

[inland hill]

and agressively spread it

[late ingot]

Read the article first

[inland hill]

I agree

this is why i said dna

So read it

okay

https://tenor.com/view/crocs-crocodile-gif-26712618

[late ingot]

And don't chuck it in an AI to summarise

[inland hill]

I don't do that

[late ingot]

Just wanted to be sure

—🇭🇺/🇷🇴 UPDATE: Although these measures may appear drastic, in October of last year both Hungary and Romania experienced serious acts of sabotage targeting critical energy infrastructure. — Dunav Intel

On 21 Oct, a fire broke out at MOL’s Százhalombatta refinery, Hungary’s largest and most modern facility, which receives Russian crude via the Baracsag pipeline.

Hours earlier, an explosion struck Petrotel-Lukoil refinery in Ploiești, Romania one of the country’s largest, with an annual capacity of 2.5M tons.

[undone lake]

could be the same people that blew up nordstream 2

or perhaps it's just a coincidence

[inland hill]

hungary mentioned

[inland hill]

no way maan

total coincidence

that was a shark

[late ingot]

For both to be targeted id say it's not likely to be Russia

As Ukraine has no reason to target Romanian oil

Russia has a long history of false flags

At march 26th (next thursday), this game will become free to claim forever: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/havendock-64983e

[lavish vale]

that happens every week on epic store for like 4 years now, catch up

(and mobile for past year)

[golden yacht]

i know, and that is awesome of epic to do :)

[mild nacelle]

paws we're gonna bloody up that pretty face of yours

[lavish vale]

the epic game store game is collecting games you never play

[golden yacht]

i play them

and enjoy them

[golden yacht]

Let's not get too hasty.

[gusty ravine]

what is the topic over today are we still talking about ukrain

[lavish vale]

i bought 1 game on epic game store, and now i have a pile of shame that challenges my steam

[golden yacht]

i never bought any game at Epic, but still have boatloads of stuff

[lavish vale]

well yeah the game i bought ended up becoming an epic freebie 2 years later anyway

not motivating me to buy any more games, epic

[golden yacht]

oh, but i bought some games at Steam, which i also found free at Epic :/

(at least at discount, all Steam games i bought)

yeah, Epic is only good for their thursday-freebies

(nothing else)

[lavish vale]

technically they are good at making unreal engine

[fervent basin]

balatroed

[lavish vale]

that joker that lets you get straights/flushes with 1 less card... cheating

[violet herald]

@crimson pagoda @willow socket pulling apollo-level quarters using 5.4-pro harnessed around a deep research architecture
The one datapoint where it didn't beat market was from Iran war fear
So I can ironically claim the same as him

[fervent basin]

not that joker

i didn't have that i think

i had to use 5 cards for flushes

[lavish vale]

theres also that joker that turns cards into wildcards (or is that non joker i forget)

[fervent basin]

but i was just playing flushes

i don't have a wildcard joker there lol

[lavish vale]

i once made a deck full of sick wildcards then the boss was like no clubs

so i rage quit and never played Balatro again

[gusty ravine]

imagine a picture handed over to the authorities for persons publicly shaming another group of people, does the authority get blamed for not showing any involvement whatsoever over the issue

[fervent basin]

you gotta either have played all your suit bosses already or have the boss exchange voucher

in that situation

[lavish vale]

i dont understand Balatro enough to game bosses

i just accept my loser fate

every time i used a boss exchange voucher its ended up worse

i'm gonna stick to simpler card games like mtg

Romania

Wallachia has oil

It was a really important strategic resource in WW2, not sure since then

[merry bluff]

we've been inside this guy's house for like 30 minutes trying to sell him Internet

[cursive kelp]

Uh

[merry bluff]

isn't that character a minour in the show?

[cursive kelp]

Yes.

I reported it

[merry bluff]

that's fucked up

[cursive kelp]

How does it get sponsored

In my opinion it's both

[merry bluff]

wrong

age matters.

[cursive kelp]

You have weirdos looking for either one

[merry bluff]

opposite

[cursive kelp]

What's a loli

[merry bluff]

if it looks like a minour or is a minour, stay away

[merry bluff]

minour hen thai im pretty sure

og

ok

either way, stay away

[cursive kelp]

Isn't that a problem in a lot of Anime where it's young girl who's canonically old

[merry bluff]

yes

[gritty perch]

Um actually thats just the dog slobber from the alien Ben turns into, Wildmutt. Get your mind out the gutter dude.

[cursive kelp]

That's even worse 😭😭😭

[cursive kelp]

Why is bro slobbering on his cousin

[late ingot]

Fictional underage girl

[lavish vale]

i have a solution that always works here: everyone is wrong

[late ingot]

Based on the book "Lolita" about the same

[late ingot]

It's not that common really but it's a stupid defence

[merry bluff]

it's been 45 minutes in a strangers house

[cursive kelp]

Agreed

[gritty perch]

Why did i meet a girl who had am american psycho poster above her bed and posted herself reading Lolita all the time shit was weird. She was actually hot tho but that shit was red flags

[lavish vale]

take advantage of the situation and go through their stuff, start with the bathroom

[merry bluff]

what no he's buying our Internet

[late ingot]

Either it's defensible because it's a fictional character and the reader/viewer is imagining it as though they were young again, or its abhorrent either way

[lavish vale]

tell them to buy internet security to protect their privacy, will be hil-larious

[cursive kelp]

This is what you're supposed to do on dates not strangers

[merry bluff]

I'm not selling it, my leader is

also I have a date(?) tomorrow

[lavish vale]

a date with your internet victim? super villain

[merry bluff]

it's not really a date

it's like

[gritty perch]

Become an internet installer and create a secret bot net farm for the chinese government

[merry bluff]

me and my future roommate are going out for drinks

non alcoholic drinks

[merry bluff]

don't spoil my plans god damn it

[gritty perch]

Already in contact with v2ray hes getting the contract set up

[late ingot]

The thing about that book is that the titular character begins to experiment around the time some young people do and it disgusts and enrages the much older protagonist who didn't have such experiences

[merry bluff]

@willow socket send me the executables for the china botnet so I can sell some routers

[gritty perch]

Is there like any real lessons drawn from the book or is it some weird gooner book ive never given it the time of the day because of the topic lol

[merry bluff]

i tried to catch them and they ran away :(

[undone lake]

why does it feel like almost any nation in europe has oil except for mine

[late ingot]

Khazaria has oil

Oil rich in fact, the Caucaus is full of it

[undone lake]

whether something is good or evil is a social construct according to him, probably one of my favourite religion critics

[undone lake]

my people should've remained there, instead of going to that stupid tiny desert plain because some old temple supposedly existed until it got cucked by a mosque

[late ingot]

I think it does a good job of showing the bizarre ways in which men can fixate over women and apply really unrealistic expectations to them

Well "girl" rather than "women" but yeah

[undone lake]

imagine if israel was the size of khazaria, my god...

[late ingot]

Since you get his own perspective you get to see how warped his mindset is

[late ingot]

Israel should be relocated to Khazaria

Their true homeland

[undone lake]

indeed

would much rather have that than give it to the slavs

[late ingot]

imo that mosque should be demolished and the temple of jupiter should be restored

[late ingot]

Why can't be just have based civic religion and mystery cults rather than bullshit cooked up by Canaanites

Imagine how cool it would be to initiated in the mysteries of mithras in the modern day and having to chant "fuck foids, fuck staceys" along with your brothers at the temple

miss u so much mithas just want u back

[undone lake]

you might be joking, but it wouldn't surprise me if incels/femcels started their own religion in the next decade

[undone lake]

having a religion surrounding the unknown workings of AGI also sounds interesting
