    Season 1 GIF by The Simpsons

    The hint is that people should employ the ignore button. It’s not 100 unique people negging and being banned.

    Its 3 or 4 people who can’t use the ignore button throwing an emotional tantrum because they are mentally children. One guy in particular who kicked this off because he’s embarrassed of his behavior (as he should be) on the Succession TV thread where he completely shamed himself in front of everyone for days by showing he couldn’t follow a TV narrative. I guess I shouldn’t have cross-posted and brought it up in a DT thread is the lesson there.

    It’s the difference between popular vote and electoral college.

    Still cracks me up that the tipping point this go-round is people just being tired of you failing to post the goddamn link to what you're talking about, and then you getting pissy about getting called out

    Lesson learned. It’s like the Hindu or Buddhist being reincarnated back on to earth and with each past life you had to learn a lesson.

    In the past I learned who the militants are and who to stay away from, I’ve learned to not be strident in the CR, and now I’ve learned to post my links without snark.

    Dude wtf did you do today?

    This morning you were in positive territory. You'll be in purgatorio fairly soon at this rate.

    Awaiting your new rodent/mammal smoke themed name because this version is about done.

    All it takes is 2 or 3 motivated people to go back and neg bomb every post in recent history, irrespective of content or context, in an attempted flex. A tale as old as time around here, hence the reincarnation you allude to.

    love the “censor me” bullshit. And he claims to not be a fan of Elon Musk. They fail to learn the same lessons: freedom of speech isn’t the same thing as freedom from consequences. 

    Would you like to do the honors and pick the next name?

    Why the fuck are you guys engaging Chrispy? The dumb fuck can't post about hunting people at the border anymore, so he just does entirely transparent concern trolling that somehow still sucks some of you mfers in.

    Wrong. Think about this as a thought exercise:

    This whole argument was caused because I said, “wow, must be nice to be a billionaire” and posted a headline from NYT showing that Tesla has gained Elon Musk $48bn YTD. The implication being that he has unfair resources. He can (and is) tank a $44bn and still come out alright.

    From there a handful of people got upset because they think I love Elon, but there in particular @blacklab (no name, captain ant and chopper) are trying to censor/ban hammer me with an old fashioned neg bombing of posts irrespective of content.

    Shocking that once again you are talking completely out of your ass yet again.

    Fidelity, who led the most recent fundraising round for reddit 2 years ago cut the estimated worth of their investment by 41 percent last week. Reddit is trying to public. As part of that they are pulling the same move with their API as twitter in an effort to do the same thing as twitter which is require everyone to use their truly sub par first party app instead of the large number of excellent third party apps out there. 

    This allows them to serve ads to those people using third party apps and squeeze slightly more blood from the stone of their current userbase.

    This comes because their API pricing is so hilariously expensive it kills off third party users. For example it would cost the largest iOS reddit app (Apollo) about $20 million in API requests yearly. Reddit is charging $12k for 50m API pulls. For the same number of pulls from Imgur, Apollo pays $166. 

    The difference is that unlike twitter, reddit is a link aggregator who pays zero dollars for any submissions and in what is truly the largest scam going on the internet also pays zero dollars for moderation of its 830,000+ posts per day.

    Many power users and moderators use third party apps, frankly because the reddit first party app is garbage for both moderation and daily use.

    People are understandably pissed and reddit isn't going to change anything, but it's a horrible decision that is going to run off a lot of "power" users and old accounts. But they didn't care, they just want to make as much money as they can by going public some 17 years after being founded.

    Stop talking out of your ass like you know what's going on with a situation when you very, very clearly don't. Or did you ask Chat GPT to write that post above?

    What part of what I said was wrong, though? Regarding the API for LLM modeling that is absolutely true. Read about it here:

    “Reddit will also cash in on AI companies that scrape its posts for data and recoup the ad revenue it loses when people use apps to bypass ads.”

  7. Oof, reading Wikipedia entry I think I see how one could spy for 20 years. Sounds like the CIA/FBI can be pretty stupid:

    When the USSR disbanded in December 1991, Hanssen, possibly worried that he could be exposed during the ensuing political upheaval, ended communications with his handlers for a time.[31] The following year, after the Russian Federation assumed control of the defunct Soviet spy agencies, Hanssen made a risky approach to the GRU, with whom he had not been in contact in ten months. He went to the Russian embassy in person and physically approached a GRU officer in the parking garage. Hanssen, carrying a package of documents, identified himself by his Soviet code name, "Ramon Garcia", and described himself as a "disaffected FBI agent" who was offering his services as a spy. The Russian officer, who evidently did not recognize the code name, drove away. The Russians then filed an official protest with the State Department, believing Hanssen to be a triple agent. Despite having shown his face, disclosed his code name, and revealed his FBI affiliation, Hanssen escaped arrest when the FBI's investigation into the incident did not advance

    fuck him.  The final tally is unknown but for absolutely sure, he and Ames got 2 agents killed, and probably some more. He helped blow multiple counter-espionage plans, and was actively working for the soviets for almost 20 fucking years.

    He got to live 20 years in a cell, so I guess thats serendipity

    Just reading up on all this.

    He spied for over 20 years, at the risk of death penalty, which he ended up "only" getting 15 life sentences.

    You'd think he would have gotten an amazing package for this right? Comp would be great. Well, he did all this for...wait for it.....

    $1.4mm (and some diamonds).

    Or essentially $70k a year. The guy risked his life for an extra $70k a year on top of his take home as an FBI agent. 

    That's $93,333 per life sentence.

    I just can't understand and conceptualize that sort of evil, much less stupidity.

    Also I can't understand how, operationally and administratively speaking, one could be a spy for that long as well. But it sounds like this was not a case of letting the spy continue when you know they are, because the FBI paid $7mm from the KGB for the lead that broke his identity.

    it's a long sentence...i pride myself on writing like james joyce.  i'll break it down for you.

    telling someone else to get out of their "comfort zone" when you...

    • spend $1,500 a month for sugar doused fried chicken on butter doused white bread fast food...the very definition of "comfort" food;
    • you keep doing the same thing (that honestly is a bit pathetic) over and over and over despite being routinely rejected and refuse to grow out of posting in bad faith, if not downright trollishly, and acting like a martyr because everyone knows it;
    • it will never not be amusing that you try desperately to project your posting style as the lifelong learner but gave no critical thought to simply copypasting bard to bolster the notion that musk has gained a fortune on tesla stock since taking over twitter despite that being so demonstrably and incredibly wrong. 

    is going to warrant some sardonic mockery.  to a person with any honor or humility, that should make you re-evaluate your approach and try to "grow."

     

    so contributing to your tragically misunderstood victimized state, can you summarize what you think are your "counter-cultural" beliefs to this board other than an apparent preference to live in a christian theocracy than in the united states?

    I don't want to belabor this much longer but really quickly:

    • James Joyce is cool
    • $1,500 a month for Chick-Fil-A was because we were renovating our kitchen, I have a ton of kids, and it's the Lord's Chicken. Morgonn's satire out front shoulda told ya.
    • You are fundamentally misunderstanding (like the Sydney before you) on what the Bard copy pasting motive was. Go re-read.
    • Let's move on with the knowledge that few, if any, are interested in this sort of back and forth and we've already exhausted the patience of many of our peers here.

    You're a bad guy because you continually post in bad faith. Period. But I'll spare sidis and others any more of my badger-esque inability to let things go. 

    This is simply not true. 

    But because you believe it to be so, there isn't going to be much I can do to change how you feel.

    I would just leave it and leave you with this: I challenge you to consider that someone could earnestly post, in good faith, and simply have a differing point of view and perspective and think that, in a social medium where it is in the minority, to try and tastefully share that difference and that there is value in doing so.

    I think I'm getting better at the "tastefully" part (this whole page and exchange notwithstanding) and have more recently learned which overly emotional and hot button topics to avoid (My CR participation as all but stopped, in these efforts), to avoid the irrational wrath of the dumbest posters we call a part of this family.

    this thread has become dumb but i do have to laugh at this particular quote from someone who spends $1,500 a month at chickfila and who, despite being crowdsourced an endless number of times, keeps re-upping as if having someone to plagiarize bard's hot take summaries (not cited and unlinked) of whatever they find interesting for the day and ironically passing it off as their own despite being demonstrably inverse to the conclusion being proffered is critical to the well-being of the community.

    this is one of those where self-awareness can go a long way in avoiding this type of hour-long, pointless, and childish shit-throwing. /newmotto

    I'm not smart enough to get through the first paragraph without getting tongue-tied, so I'll just agree with you and buy you off with a pos rep and because I like your last sentence.

  12. Just now, SydneyCarton said:

    It's not rep bragging. Rep bragging would involve some sort of trumpeting. I'm simply showing how poorly your contributions are to this forum. It's why you've been banned half a dozen times. It's why it's so pathetic you keep coming back. You're wrong generally about everything, and/or you're incapable of reading a room. It's actually hard to post that many times with so few people finding anything redeeming versus the number of people who neg you and tell you to fuck right off. 

    But you do you, loser. The rest of just wish you'd do it elsewhere. 

    There is a whole conversation and explanation to the multi-banned usernames (and continuous use of the same syntax in effort to be transparent) but it's a) not germane to this thread and b) probably not something you'd be able to conceive because you already have your mind made up. I'm a bad guy because I don't have a ton of rep due to having a bit of counter-cultural beliefs (to this board) which I sometimes share.

    And with the bold, of course, you do. That's because you like to lap at your confirmation bias like a cat with cream. It's what unintelligent people desire-- a feel good compendium of all things that conform to what you think or want to think. lol, "loser".

    Ya know, you would have avoided getting called out for not posting your sources by simply posting the link in addition to the text that you're claiming was written by them

    Yes, I know. Self-inflicted wound in that respect, because it would have been easy to do.

    And I guess the "social capital" or "personal brand" I have is such that people assume the worst, despite my consistency in trying to be as objective as possible, so I have to remember to continue to over-rotate, which comes off as an "aw shucks" for a lot of you.

    Allow me to explain the below. I'm sure a man with your post count understands how this works:

    image.thumb.png.5397692154c79bb67bae3d5d39c7845e.png

     

    You see, someone can start writing a post, and another person can finish their own post before someone, say me, finishes mine. And if I choose not to interrupt my post by refreshing the page from a notification, well, I'm not going to see your post. But yeah, you just sit there like you've just had a mic drop moment. As usual the rest of us will recognize that the only thing dropped was another load by you on this thread.

    I'll close with another hilarious image, Mr. Banned 6 Times. You keep telling the truth, Cassandra, tilting at those windmills that apparently only you and almost no other posters on this website can see.

    I's that bad? Because I'm bad at math, but it seems like it's bad. 

    We are resorting to rep bragging now! YES! The circle of shame is complete. 

    Just please don't post a paycheck stub. That should be a bridge too far even for you, I hope.

    Ummm....the point is not that other sites had the story.  The point is that the site where YOU found it (that is, the site where you first went...and presumably a site you frequent, so as to have "found" this story) is a crypto site.

    "I don't look at porn!  See, this story about X is on lots of sites!  I just happened to find the story on Pornhub.  Wait, WHY was I looking on Pornhub?  Ummm...no reason.......why are you focused on the site I found it on.........Look, here's a story from the Dubuque Times Leader about a dude committing incest with his stepmom as well!"

    But again, the bold is only true in your mind.

    I gave you the link where I read it and where it was linked off of. You are just so adamant, despite having zero logic besides the emotional "I don't like crypto and I don't like hamster, so they must be related somehow" that I'm lying about it and read some random crypto e-mag instead of what is obviously more likely, which I am telling the truth.

    I truly think that if you were to try and grow instead of staying in your comfort zone that seems to be repetitious confirmation bias, you will see all aspects of your life get better and not be so dreary and depressed.

  16. Oh crap, I just now got it! Sydney did an early-90's, Richard Gere gay anal joke with my username!

    If I would have realized that I would have just sat down and taken the L and saved us all time because, wow, what a play. Ended this man's life. Roasted me. I mean, I think I'm NOWTHIS'ed after that one. Despite missing the post exactly before his, Brutus is an honorable man Sydney is a brilliant man.

    Correct.  In other words, a flat-out lie.

    You simply can't be an effective lawyer. I just don't see how you expect anyone to believe that.

    To begin with, you are way too emotional. But beyond simply being able to read and follow a conversation (such as post 11315), across this and many other threads you are constantly just confirming your own thoughts and conclusions, irrespective of reality.

    Other websites that came up when you google searched the copy and paste:

    https://www.thestreet.com/cryptocurrency/news/dogecoin-elon-musk-insider-trading-twitter

    https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-06-05/elon-musk-had-fun-with-dogecoin#xj4y7vzkg

    Not to mention the actual complaint, which was posted.

    You complain about others chasing irrational and delusional positions because it makes them feel good, but you are the king of it. The mediocre and repetitious king of the small people.

  18. One area I've been most pleased with and think Biden is doing awesome with is foreign policy, especially China.

    Biden has been pretty tough on China which has been awesome to see, especially in light of and compared to corporations and business personalities (like last week ELMO Musk and Jaime Dimon further cuddling up to CCP).

    Quote

    The era of corporate America influencing U.S. policy on China may be over. In decades past, Wall Street leaders like John Thornton and Hank Paulson of Goldman Sachs and Steve Schwarzman of Blackstone were reportedly able to temper efforts by Washington to take a tough line on China.
