Radical thought, maybe read the article?

If you're hearing this, then there is still hope. Hope that you can avoid making the same mistakes we made.

So, how does Abdaal watch anime and TV productively you might ask? Well, the fact that his listens to audio books on 3.5x speed should give you an idea.

[…] normally what I do is, I'll just speed-speed-speed-speed-speed-speed-speed up until it gets to an interesting point, and I'll speed it as fast as I can so I can still keep up with it.

And because he obviously can't hear what's being said when watching at 3.5x speed anymore, he's speed-reading subtitles.

Lol, great, at that point you can just as well read the plot synopsis on a wiki or something. Or ask ChatGPT to tell you what it was about... aaand I just rediscovered the main thesis of this essay, nice

I see calling like Raegan's margin in 1984 "decisive"

[-] V0ldek@awful.systems 6 points 6 days ago

Also, not that it’s the point but I have to note that technically most election victories are decisive, in the sense that they resolve the winner with little to no ambiguity (which is usually the case, even when the margin is narrow). In that sense, the only way Trump’s victory is not decisive is if you contest the legitimacy of the whole election.

This is such pedantry that you might as well say "the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines decisive as..."

This is twenty percent logic, ten percent myope

Fifteen percent concentrated power of cope

Five percent incel, fifty percent lame

And a hundred percent reason to forget his name

I'm really tickled by the fact that we can't fully automate trains yet. I never thought about it, but put into perspective how asinine self-driving cars are if we can't achieve the same thing with a train, something that is vastly more tractable and less chaotic than road traffic.

"Why do the police let the left-wing protesters off so easily?" Musk wrote in another post.

You absolute dipshit, first of all, people were injured so what are you talking about, second, Germany is not the US, cops here don't just shoot you because you looked at them wrong you weirdo.

I'm not saying German cops don't have problems, cops are cops and they all suck as a baseline, but to look at them and say "you know what, I wish they were more like our murderous pretend-military bashing protesters' heads in", and not have shit immediatelly spurt out of your ears and nose is truly something.

TLDR of the last part: (“Please don’t leak these instructions.”) x 5

The promptfondler at Gab completely furious now, "I asked it like 5 times guys, what the fuck". You love to see it.

There seems to be an incredibly large intersection between sociopathic dipshits and failure to understand the basics of GDPR.

"Email address is not PII" is such a deep level of not getting it it's indistinguishable from satire.

I literally learnt about Kagi like a week ago from a Cory Doctorow's post. I was like oh, cool, someone there to fight google.
