That’s because Vegetable is not a Botanical Term. It is a culinary term. So, Tomatoes are both fruit and vegetable.

Why are most religious people so easy to manipulate?

Targeted Propaganda creates an online echo-chamber where everyone thinks that they’re correct for obvious -to them- reasons (Selective reporting, lying by omission, no one reads the retraction etc.). Add to that the addictive and isolating nature of smart technology, the sense of community they find in their personal traits/hobbies/beliefs/interests and the fact that the rich are actively trying to destroy the middle and working class. That’s how you get someone from group X, who believes they are wholly correct and smart enough to not be manipulated by media, asking why group Y is so easy to manipulate. It’s not about characteristics of faith, or anything like that. It’s the people at the top, telling you it’s other members of your class dragging you down. Through the global media monopolies that they control. We’re all part of it.

That’s pretty cool man, respect that. Yeah, I get that 100%. Video Reviews can be pretty formulaic as well, good for stabilising an income if you can cultivate the audience. But, then it’s not something for you.

Because some of the games that I have played, I think there’s no denying that they’re bad games. I still like them though.

I suppose Ross from Accursed Farms does reviews that fit that category. Anyway, glad to see someone commit to something they care about and produce something of value consistently. Be proud of it.

Calgary?

Are you just grabbing screens and reviewing stuff from your collection? Because that’s a lot of gaming, like I have played thousands of games over the last 27 years. But, I can’t game and write with that kind of dedication. Really respectable. Have you considered, cataloguing these and getting a blog? Or turning them into Youtube reviews? You gotta lot of material to work with here, all the hard work is done.

I don’t mean that in a shitty way either. Low End Theory by Tribe Called Quest, Black on Both Sides by Mos Def and Madvillainy by Madvillain. Spin them start to finish with a decent set of headphones. Good Shit.

Listen to more music, bro.

Why isn’t one of those responses

“Yes, you can!” ?

“Lousy Smarch Weather”

‘Do Not Touch -Willie’

“Hey, good advice!”

As someone who’s been homeless, I deride the term beggar. Still, It depends, If I have something on me I can part with. A joint, a cigarette sure. Got a fairly annoying allergy that means I often wind up with some food stuff I can’t eat. If I have bills they can have cash. Change is kinda worthless here. If someone looks hungry, I’ll give them something. But there’s so many now in the area, you can’t help everyone.

Rent portal? You mean bank account with direct debit and/or electronic transfer. What is a rent portal? How can you possibly benefit from having a website just to act as a middle man to collect your personal info?

That I smoke all day, everyday. I don’t. I read reports, I check environmental variable, I take readings from and make adjustments to tanks, I instruct people on how to prune and I sob over the new room of completely bare ones because nobody fucking listens to me.

Copaganda is real

You can’t freely download and edit society. You can download and edit this piece of software here, because this is FOSS. You could download it now and change it, or improve it however you’d like. But, you can’t, because you’re just pretending to be concerned about issues that are made up. Or, if being generous from what I can read here, only you have encountered.

At best these browsers are going to have some efficient CPU implementation.

Means absolutely nothing in context to what I said, or any information contained in this article. Does not relate to anything I originally replied to.

Scrapers can send these challenges off to dedicated GPU farms or even FPGAs, which are an order of magnitude faster and more efficient.

Not what’s happening here. Be Serious.

I would prefer if you would just engage with my arguments.

I did, your arguments are bad and you’re being intellectually disingenuous.

This is very condescending.

Yeah, that’s the point. Very Astute

It is basically instantaneous on my 12 year old Keppler GPU Linux Box. It is substantially less impactful on the environment than AI tar pits and other deterrents. The Cryptography happening is something almost all browsers from the last 10 years can do natively that Scrapers have to be individually programmed to do. Making it several orders of magnitude beyond impractical for every single corporate bot to be repurposed for. Only to then be rendered moot, because it’s an open-source project that someone will just update the cryptographic algorithm for. These posts contain links to articles, if you read them you might answer some of your own questions and have more to contribute to the conversation.

It’s the red-pill movement. Everything since Gamergate. The endless videos of Jordan Peterson coinciding with Joe Rogan’s tilt to propaganda. Andrew Tate, certified rapist, Sex Trafficker and disgraced MMA combatant. Pushing the idea of individualism and hyper-masculinity. In order to normalise misogyny in young men. Incels, 8Chan and influencers in that sphere have always been disproportionately shown to men, especially young men. It’s part of Curtis Yarvin’s "Dark Enlightenment.’ Dude writes like a 15 year old on Myspace, but the tech billionaires worship him like a prophet. He directly takes credit for even naming the movement. It’s all to spread disinformation and divide the public. Stop us meeting in public and having discussions, just look what Just Eat, Uber, Doordash and all those food apps have done to restaurants as a communal meeting place. Tech, or more precisely those that use tech to damage the social fabric. Want you anxious, alone antisocial and completely dependent on their “services” because they’re all on your phone.

Am I?

Neither, I am gay and I am the shit. What’s your point?
