I feel like it’s can roughly comprehend the vibe of what you’re saying, but im losing you on the specifics.

I feel like you’re trying to apply a model of both young people and bots such that they don’t understand a time before the large scale proliferation of bots?

Anything is expensive if it’s unnecessary. You’d be surprised how many people won’t even pay me a nickle to cast a spell to protect them from the ghosts of ants they’ve stepped on.

People talk about that constantly?

I see it supports many cameras, but you need to pull them apart and use a serial hookup to flash the firmware… but for the wyze cams and a few others you can flash them directly with an SD card.

I liked how cheap the wyze cams were but desperately wanted to get them offline. This was my silver bullet.

For non cloud cams, someone posted here a while back about thingno firmware, takes cheap cams off the cloud. Works great on a wyze cam and was a gamechanger for me. Sttrroonngglllyyy recommend

At this point, I actually think the overton window has shifted so far that “avoid changes at all costs” sounds more like the Democrats. “Burn our institutions to the ground. De-orbit the satellites. Rip up all trade agreements. Sell pardons. Shill products from the oval office. Retry supreme court decisions”, those all are big changes.

Dems… Just keep trying the same exact same bland neoliberal candidates and viciously stonewalling anyone suggesting any meaningful change.

Sure.

But once you boil down absolutely any physical effect… gravity, light, sound, (literally everything) you eventually get to that point.

The answer to any “why”, after a certain number of follow-up “whys” is always always always “we don’t know”, irrespective of the original question.

Magnets aren’t at all special in this regard.

Seymour skinner, when the roast was ruined

Yeah, either of those helps. I agree it’s comprehensible.

Comprehensibility isn’t what defines a sentence fragment. I make this observation out of pure awe, rather than criticism. Modern day Cicero vibes.

That first “sentence” is the longest sentence fragment I’ve ever seen in my life.

About 6 months ago I started tariffing things and people just in every day speech. Kid won’t eat his vegetables? Tariff. 5%. Keep it up, see how it goes, buddy. Water cooler empty at work? That’s a 10% tariff MINIMUM.

It sucks when your crafted absurdity has such a short shelf life because reality seems intent on anexing it.

I disagree that it’s the only correct take.

The argument is “Data may cause people to behave in ways I don’t want them to, so I will assail the data to guide people to behaviors I do want.”

Like, I can understand and respect your position, but I don’t think it’s the only correct take.

I think that the structure of your argument is also used broadly by many groups to do terrible things. One can debate the merits of fighting fire with fire, but let’s at least do so with complete awareness.

Yeah, sure, but have you considered the feelings of the people who came here to just comment “AI slop”?

IIRC Bannons plans require the pres AND the VP to resign. Whoever is next in line at that point is where Bannon imagines Trump

Specific to his ability to keep the media engaged, i think it’s that he’s just exactly the right kind of stupid.

I think about how Ken M is so effective at dragging people into his stupidity…now that is BRILLIANT. Calculated. A true master.

Trump is merely a savant. Mozart to Ken M’s Salieri.

Rogan is one of the very few who I think is actually just the right kind of dumb to explain his actions.

I’m not a fan. Anyone who says they like him I appreciate, because they’re telling me exactly how much weight to give any opinion they voice from that point forward.

I weigh Rogan against other stupid people. People like Hulk Hogan or kid rock. Those guys would still be cheering for Trump if he was literally pissing in thier faces, not even for any benefit. They’re just helplessly stupid. Too stupid for me to reasonably even comprehend. Absolute enigmas.

There are others who completely understand how nuts he is but are just doing a bit to enrich themselves… like Owens or Coulter or Shapiro.

I’ve never seen anything from Rogan to suggest he’s got any calculus in what he does. I’m open to hearing examples, though, if anyone has any.

It must drive the others nuts that he blunders into a success they can’t engineer through methodical manipulation.

I think we’ve all experienced this to one degree or another.

It’s why I’m so baffled by people who can’t recognize it in others.

Yeah, maybe you wouldn’t let it go so far. But the process is familiar.

Why is it easier to justify another person’s irrationality as something completely foreign to your human experience rather than something familiar?

For me, it’s so much easier to say “they’re just like me if I were a little stupider, more insecure, and much more proud.”

I think this definition of an apology is too far from common usage to be reasonably expected to be understood, and too broad to be useful in general.

If you want to refine your definition so that it’s more than just an “explanation” (already have a word for that) I could maybe get on board.

And, to be honest, I’m a little bit worried about how one comes to equate an explanation with an apology. My gut tells me this definition creep might be a red flag of a victim of an abusive narcissist.

By this definition you have just apologized for Rose’s post.

I did a wyze cam 3 yesterday too lol.

So far so good!
