How is this not terrorism if true?

You run it to see if your military tactics will defeat the enemy and then you keep running it until you find a strategy that guarantees victory. Who cares if some sim lives are churned through the simulation, our lives are at stake!

Reductionist but I feel like that’s how it would go.

Podcasting is going through the thousand cheap ads with the obnoxiously inserted interstitial ads. What they have accomplished is me unsubscribing to the worst offending podcast and beginning the journey of ad blocking on podcast with the help of whisper and LLMs. Also now I hate Shopify with the heat of a 1000 burning suns due to their obnoxious ads and the insane rate they get played.

So yea that one expensive ad would probably have a positive impact compared to a tidal wave of slop. Quality > Quantity after all.

I came to my opinion through experience, I’m sorry you’re offended but I did say that I don’t imply that you’re a pedo but my stats sure show a pattern.

That does not change what I have dealt with. I am not a “JavaScript fanboy” remember I made a community that could work WITHOUT needing JavaScript and that lead to a bunch of grief for me which made me understand the extreme naivety of that original idealistic idea on the internet.

I used to believe in that and would make sure all of my sites would work without Javascript until one of my projects (a micro community) got targeted by pedotrolls which lead to an awful time and now I associate people who are staunch no JS as pedos, I am not accusing you or anything but that is the impression it left on me. Ever since then I really don't care if the site doesn't work without JS, and if users can post stuff damn straight Javascript will be involved.

Unfortunately this idealistic principle (no JS) attracts the worst people.

You're on Tor? You have JS disabled? I might as well warm up fbi.gov/investigate/cyber for the probable report I'll have to do...

That's pretty interesting, thanks for the clarification and elaboration!

I always found it interesting that lead is sweet. I always heard the meme he’s dumb because he ate (lead) paint chips as a child and I could never understand why a child would eat paint chips until I realized the paint chips were sweet because of the lead. Also apparently lead was used by the Roman’s as a sweetener. The only true taste I think you should count on when eating strange food is bitterness, if you don’t trust the food and you have a strong bitter taste, spit it out!

That’s 5 people over the span of 9 years. Imagine how much vanilla ice cream is consumed every year.

- my procedurally generated fashion e-shop that has infinite designs for various apparel

- a micro community that a core group of people chat on every day

Both on what used to be digital ocean $5 droplets. Once I find the time and energy I will migrate everything away from DO, the price was raised but the quality and speed of their servers stayed the same.

Interesting but nothing on that bike felt like it was the cheapest, still one of the best rides I had even 20 years later.

I had a Shimano bike as a teenager and it was great, the breaks were amazing and I loved riding it until it got stolen right in front of a bank security guard. I still think about the bike.

There is a special place in hell waiting for these people and everyone who helps enable their greed and the misery they produce. I bet their system also finds who is likeliest to win and finds a reason to ban them like casinos have been doing.
