We don’t make those references round here, this is a Radiohead post.

We’re living in an age of demagoguery, I don’t know why you wouldn’t use that metaphor instead of the relatively harmless advertising, it’s much more important and you can look around and see what it’s like.

Yeah I thought this would be a Radiohead reference, no surprises.

I don’t understand what you’re asking.

There’s too many dumb questions being asked on Twitter for Grok to get to all of them.

It’s a decentralized protocol. Elements of the Bluesky application on top of the protocol are decentralized, others aren’t. It is actually very easy to understand this.

But he’s also an actor which gives context.

And people posting pictures of AI getting things wrong is a very common meme. Not people asking random weird questions.

Why would you think that’s a normal question? We don’t refer to people being in “in heat”. And he’s dead anyway. Even if you didn’t know Heat was a movie wouldn’t you figure out from context it’s more likely asking about a movie or show?

One time I had to do a dance with a former employer when they wanted me to do some contract work and they couldn’t get me the right credentials but I still had them and needed to make sure they were cool with my not having purged everything. Everyone has to sign the exit paperwork saying they’ll delete everything, the employer doesn’t actually care, they’re just covering themself in the rare case you fuck them over with it.

Oh, word?

Lemmy has flaws, but Reddit is a fucking cesspool.

There’s not going to be a replacement for what Reddit used to be. The world is shittier now, that’s just gone. The right way to think of it is that the replacement for Reddit is a combination of Lemmy (or another preferred option) and being less online, being less attached to any one site.

Have loud sex with a woman his age to turn the tables.

I’m just saying, in life there are contexts where your disagreement is meant to be part of the discussion, like a best song thread, and then there’s other contexts where criticizing what someone likes, even in a non mean spirited way, subtly depresses the fun of the situation.

When I was younger I didn’t get that, my friends would talk about things they liked and I’d instinctively disagree. And at a certain age I realized I’d be better company if I didn’t interrupt their enthusiasm. Because the world sucks and enthusiasm is hard to cultivate.

Do you get, though, how it doesn’t improve a thread asking people what they’re most excited about right now when you reply telling someone they’re wrong?

Sorry I posted the wrong songs.

I’ve been listening to Metallica’s One and …And Justice for All repeatedly, their two best tracks.

I wouldn’t even say it was bad, it just felt like a Netflix show which is some intangible quality I can’t articulate that made it feel cheap and rushed.

Only 11 episodes total for 2 “seasons”? They picked the right showrunners for rushing through the end of a series. It was never going to end well when it was Netflix that got the rights.

If I had the freedom and opportunity to emigrate casually, I would. I can live with not turning my life upside down and leaving my family behind. I couldn’t live with still supporting Reddit and Twitter because I can get more clout there than on Lemmy.

Likewise, not ever being in public is simply impossible so it’s another worthless comparison.

You posted a lot of words, yes, but it was a Twitter-quality take.

Still being on Reddit in 2025 is a leopards eating your face situation.
