“You owe damages of $3M, Mr. Trump.”

“Well, she’s a nasty person.”

“You now owe $3.2M.”

“And a liar.”

“$3.5M.”

“She’s not even…”

“$4M.”

“This is horse…”

“$4.2M.”

“But I…”

“$4.8M.”

“You’re a nasty person, too.”

“$5M, Mr. Trump, plus you’re now in contempt of court. I can do this all day.”

a) discussions aren’t a crime.

b) what are studios going to do to the hundreds of millions of daily pirates? Write stern letters?

c) they tried identifying us and sending us stern letters in 2001 and we all laughed, then kept pirating anyway.

Yup. About 7 years ago I used to darkweb pretty hard in the drug scene (I haven’t in years so have at it, Mr. FBI).

Anyway I used Reddit subs a lot for info on new markets and onions, reliable sellers, and news on exit scams etc, but I only lurked - never commented. Anyone with a brain in their head knew they were honeypots.

Let’s just call this what it is, and what it will always be until the end of time. Two religions forced to live in a shoebox together.

Religion is to blame, both sides having their fairytale that is incompatible with the other side’s fairytale.

I’m done arguing, fighting, defending or taking sides in any of it. Every ten years we rinse and repeat this bullshit and it’s over nothing more than the fictional stories of two man made books.

And have no illusions, NO MATTER THE OUTCOME here we will be arguing about this same shit again in ten more years.

New research is suggesting caffeine’s stimulant effects are caused by the placebo effect anyway. The idea of decaf is kind of void if true.

Drake.

Wanker.

You dummies. You know he says this shit intentionally, yeah?

1. He knows his fan base won’t care and probably agree. They’re locked in.
2. He knows the media with cover his outrageous statements, so that means…
3. He gets another front page/headline/viral bump to get another small piece of the swing voters.

He is an absolute master PR-man, and no one has ever respected that fact to their own detriment.

Disclaimer: I hate the dickhead.

I’ve been saying this for years. The internet was better when you had to be a little bit more intelligent than the average person to access it.

Back when you needed knowledge of computers and software, modems, anti-virus, hardware etc, it kind of meant you needed a brain in your head to gain access. I’m not saying that made the internet an overtly-intelligent space, but it was more intelligent and measured than it is today.

As soon a smart phones and data plans entered the game, you could be as dumb as a second coat of paint and gain access with a single button. That opened the flood gates for the stupid. Now the stupid are here en mass and internet is just a dumpster fire full of retards.

I can offer you a very small example of a difference in thinking that I experience.

I’m a grown ass man and I can’t easily tell my left from right. The best example of this is when I’m gaming and the tutorial tells me to press ‘left thumb stick’, I usually fuck it up. It took me a long time and a lot of thinking on it to realise what was going on. For me, left and right is not instinctive like up or down, but rather, it’s either a feeling, or not a feeling.

The reason for this is because when I was 5 I nearly lost my left index finger in an accident. It was reattached, but during the healing process I was constantly told my left finger was the one I hurt, so I literally learnt left from right as ‘injury’ or ‘no injury’, which I then attributed to as ‘hurt’ or ‘not hurt’.

So now, when I have to choose left or right, my brain has to remember an injury and where it was, then kind of feel that injury and tell myself that yes, I feel it so that’s left, or no, I feel nothing so that’s right. These steps take more time than a normal person’s automatic reaction to left or right direction.

Imagine someone touching you and saying, “does this hurt”. It takes time to figure out if it hurts or not and then reply. Thats what I’m doing every time I need to identify left or right, and if there’s no time for that, like “quick, make a right turn here”, I’m forced to guess.

And there is no way for me to unlearn this.

I said I’d leave Reddit on July 12 and July 12 is when I left. Sure, I miss it, but it was an unhealthy, 4 hour per day/8 year addiction that’s been broken.

Now I scroll Lemmy for maybe 30 mins a day.

I listened to a science podcast recently that said anyone can learn to do it in a few hours. The trick is looking in the mirror and trying various things until you get it, then practising that thing.

But it has to be in front of the mirror.

Compound interest has been a thing since the Babylonians, 2,000BC, and they understood it from clay tablets.

If you don’t understand it 4,023 years later with a iPhone in your pocket, you’re an idiot.

I hate this argument.

What happened to being an adult and not signing your name to stupid shit you can’t afford?

ITT: I’m fat. I don’t wanna.

How did you party back then?

EDIT: you all missed a perfect setup. None of you are cool.

Marketing Exec here. I specialise in generation segmentation. I wrote this recently for my employer:

Gen-Z

Are recession learned, young, with low disposable income and low income. They are in education, are career starters and living at home.

They are lonely, single, and spend 10 hours p/day online (hyper online consumption / always logged in) with the least attention to ads. They are engaged in people-discussing-products-and-services, prefer information over ads, and use ad blockers.

Otherwise known as ‘digital natives’, Gen-Z are highly socially consciousness (body image, cyberbullying, mental health) and highly environmentally conscious. They have a strong focus on saving and responsible spending and are quite frugal. They are study and career minded and prefer money over perks and benefits in employment. They dislike having their time wasted. They have a low attention span.

Millennials

Have long-term debt (mortgage/car/student loan) and have young children. They are not at full purchasing power, are the most adaptable generation ever to pre-and post-technology, are delayed in marriage, delayed in independence, and came of age through globalisation and economic rollercoasters.

They prefer texting/messaging, are high use smartphone users, and sleep with their phone. They are the most active and health conscious generation, environmentally conscious, and the highest consumers of web content. Learning is more compelling than buying to Millennials as they spend an average of 4 hours p/day online or with phone/apps. They prefer advisors, advice, and opinions over a corporate story. They prefer sharing economy (access not ownership). Prefer e-commerce as entertainment.

Millennials are impatient, have reduced brand loyalty, and are extremely tech savvy. They are researchers of ideas, thoughtful and seeking expertise, and love to collaborate and help companies or causes achieve. Online they use acronyms, slang, and respond to authentic but complex language. They prefer honesty and being empowered. They are price aware.

He’s never not going to be a billionaire. He could liquidate tomorrow and live off $30M a year in interest alone.

People don’t quite get how insane the number $200,000,000,000 is. If you counted out one dollar of Musk’s money every second and never took a break or slept, it would take you 8,000 years to count it all.

Personally, I’m hanging out for Fast & Furious 27.
