On Firefox it's doing a whole lot of loading and not much else.

In real life, or in ARMA 3?

Kinda funny how perfectly they're described by the phrase "wolves in sheep's clothing", knowing its origin and context.

Tankie begone

We're still in the uncanny valley, but it seems that we're climbing out of it. I'm already being 'tricked' left and right by near perfect voice ai and tinkered with image gen

Skill issue

When Oblivion came out there was no shortage of shitposters screaming and crying that it was too bright and cartoonish because it had green grass and blue skies. I guess if your experience with graphics comes from the Piss Filter era, and you don't go outside, you'll think everything that isn't muddy brown is unrealistic.

The fake jobs are euphemisms for having a trust fund.

What's the point of wrestling with a pig? You both get muddy, and the pig likes it.
Maybe it's because I grew up with the old, "mean" internet, but my response to communities full of trash is to leave them alone and let the blind lead the blind. Seriously, what the hell is arguing with them going to do? They expect to be challenged, they will not see reason, they will not suffer to be helped, and you are not going to be the person who changes that.

For real, I was shocked it was as many as seven drones they shot down. I saw $200M and figured it meant two.

Easy, just use your mouth.

"I just want to know why you have such an objection to sea lions"

Future generations will look at people who think there will be sapient general AI the same as how we today view people who thought there would be a microfiche machine in every home by now.

That's in interesting point of view, but I was just making a joke about goats.

I think that kind of approach is pretty me-e-e-e-e-e-eh

I did acknowledge Lebron, and Kobe, and others when I said Kareem is the only one who comes close. That's their place in that conversation: incidental mention as part of a collective.

Are they trying to look scared shitless to undermine the whole farce, or do they actively want to create a martyr? Those are the only two options that don't require a room temperature IQ.

While this is all of course incredibly stupid and incredibly reprehensible, I also have to point out the author's disrespect:

one of the greatest basketball players in history

One of? Jordan is the undisputed greatest of all time and Kareem is the only one who's even near his level, but it's not really arguable between them.

Also it isn't funny. Not in the "boo hoo that's NOT FUNNY!" crybaby sense, but in the "99.999% of all standup comedy" sense. I've heard that in Foreign Lands you can't pull a prank once the clock strikes noon, or else you are the April fool and presumably get put in a stock and pillory till sundown.
