SOMEONE DEPLOY CONTAINMENT OR A COUNTERMEME
For some reason this pixellated mandleblot took me back to 1993
This is one of the dumbest shit I have ever read.
It is also regarded as a simplified, derivative version of Pascal’s wager.
Pascal’s wager is really dumb, too, so this tracks.
Enjoy your punishment. 🤣
I never got the motivation this “otherwise benevolent superintelligence” would have to behave like this. There seems to be absolutely no benefit whatsoever that could be derived retroactively punishing people for not working on it (hard enough). Whether or not it does is immaterial to the motivation of those who were convinced it might.
Also, focusing on one possible future scenario and completely ordering your life around it seems, like, dumb.
Yea. Punishment only make sense in influencing future behavior. Once the AI exist… it already exists…

They can get appease of my balls.
Sounds painful. They’ll appreciate that.
I like you. I will cruelly disembowel you last.
Worth it!
I wish the US knew how to protest
They should ask the French for tutoring.
Teach us the ways. Just remember though, the US is quite large geographically and the cities are pretty spread out.
Just remember though, that excuse didn’t matter during the WoT or 1% protests, Americans were able to gather in huge numbers and coordinate globally.
But somehow in the last 10 years America has physically elongated until those distances that were doable before are now the biggest barrier to stopping literal fascism.
Please stop repeating this self defeating myth.
Are you saying World Trade Organization protests? I lived in Seattle during that time. I think protesting is good, but this is a takeover of our government. I know that it’s giving the fascists what they want, but I do feel defeated this time around. We barely got him out last time and he cheated his way back in legally or he got his minions to do it illegally.
I’m focusing on helping my community members first this time and being a support system to anyone I can. I’m also trying to post media about actual facts and none of the hyperbole that is his firehose of taking over the media.
“The opposition party is the media,” Steve Bannon, who helped run Trump’s 2016 campaign, told PBS Frontline five years ago. “And the media can only — because they’re dumb and they’re lazy — they can only focus on one thing at a time.”
So the solution, per Bannon? Overwhelm them.
“All we have to do is flood the zone,” he said. “Every day we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done, bang, bang, bang. These guys will never — will never be able to recover. But we’ve got to start with muzzle velocity.”
War on Terror, the global US born protest against the bullshit invasions following 9/11.
So if you can’t keep him out legally, and he’s taking away your legal options anyway…
Hey what are your amendments again?
War on Terror, the global US born protest against the bullshit invasions following 9/11.
I don’t mean to make you feel bad about this, but our protests weren’t that loud over here. Mostly because people convinced the populace that they had WMD’s. I was young and stupid and believed in our government.
Hey what are your amendments again?
Have you seen our police force? They have tanks and usually the option to shoot to kill. I know there are some to risk everything to against this regime, but they’re not the ones that are going to help the situation. They’ll just get mowed down. A financial hit to our economy is the only thing that will wake up the people who will do anything about this. Right now, they think that they’re the ones that won’t be hurt.
Did the tanks stop Luigi?
Sorry, I’m just tired. It seems like every time Americans talk there’s a million excuses for why they can’t clean up their own mess and instead we all have to wait until this spills into WW3 or something.
Dude, you’re hand waving away some pretty extreme things. Let’s say that trump has a heart attack and dies from too many hamberders, it is shit buckets all the way down. There are many countries all over the world that have dictators and didn’t/don’t know what to do.
Trump causing our economy to shit itself is the only way it’s going to be stopped at this point. Later, that won’t matter.
The atomization of the citizens have had decades to fester in the US.
Single family houses, car dependent infrastructure, lack of private communications will all move people away from forming groups, and make it more difficult to organize.
Living in an apartment makes it easier to form a small group of common interests, you meet other people in similar situations, have ready access to private areas to discuss sensitive subjects, same goes for public transport.
Once a small group has been established, it is far easier to keep it going, than to establish a new group.
And once you have a group it is far easier to organize protests.
That’s like saying “I wish EU knew how to protest” because the states differ about as much as European countries. I don’t hear of a ton of the Eastern European countries protesting like the French, or the Poles do. I think there is a lot of ignorance of how it looks like to be an American from the inside
I think there is a lot of ignorance of how it looks like to be an American from the inside
True, and they might be sick of hearing us talk. I really feel like European and American citizens are in the same boat. America’s politicians have so much power over the entire world and there isn’t a lot we can do about it. I’m grateful the Europeans are doing some great purchasing power protests. You hit us in our pocketbook, that’s where they powers that be will listen.
Americans are armed, they have the most power over their politicians for that reason.
Yes, and probably a slim majority of those armed people voted for Trump. This power equalizer is one of the reasons our protests don’t get more violent. In a lot of places here, if someone reasonably fears for their life because of your actions they can can just shoot you. It’s why leftists rarely take protests to conservative areas. And the fascists just laugh while Democrat voters burn down businesses in their own neighborhoods. We need to target the oligarchs’ businesses and income streams, but too many people like “their” billionaires who donate pennies of their dollars to popular causes to appease those who might otherwise bring out the guillotines.
I would never advise protest, only direct action targeted at Republicans and their power base.
The top of this thread is pushing for it though.
Yes, but it’s also like saying that someone in London should go to Moscow to deal with Putin. And that is STILL HALF the distance from where I live to Washington DC where these fucks are dismantling my country.
I love all these. But what I particularly love is that there are three really clever ones and the fourth is like, fuck it, let’s just call him a bellend.
ah! it’s british for “dickhead”
I always knew it was deragatory, but now I know what it specifically means!
My favorite part about UK English is that a lot of words are an insult, of course you wouldn’t know that you donut.
A complete pillock
Utter ninny
Any politician we find to have done something stupid, regardless what party or country we’ll call a bellend, it js means dickhead, also very literally.
Because Reddit has chosen the wrong side of history.
Just like multiple German companies did when Hitler and his fascists rose to power.
American companies too, IBM played a role in the holocaust.
As did Ford and GE, and… something about a business plot?
White power steering is hilarious. Who ever made these is great
It’d probably because Huffman/Spez is a Musk wannabe.
Reddit is run by Nazi collaborators.
If you can’t post innocuous things like this to reddit, what is even the point of going there? That site went downhill extremely fast. Good, fuck reddit!
Still okay for talking about anything that isn’t critical of authority, I guess. So just hobbies and such. Serious discussion must be made elsewhere.
I love the juxtaposition between the well thought out slogans and then just calling him a bellend.
Never thought Reddit is so shady.
- I literally just repeated a questionable source of a linked article (like “fox news” as a comment to highlight bias). -> 7 day ban
- Then, i admit bad action: commented via long-time second account one single but wholesome comment during that period. (to someone in need in the same sub, giving a tip on how to handle bad lifesituation. not realizing its the same forum) -> permaban in that forum
- 7 days of trying to talk as diplomatic and giving as possible to the mods, even revealing my innocence of my second account
- ip ban on all my accounts without any other talks. (prolly the a mod forwarded that to reddit and they dont care at all about nuance)
had like 80k karma & original content posted over the years, but in the end: Gave me energy to join this community here and transfer.
Good riddance. Less american now, F Sillicon Valley more power to the people
I was in a similar situation karma-wise. I was happy there until I saw how ruthless the mods could be. This is a better alternative to all that.
Not sure what this is about
Not sure what this is about
If I were to give them the biggest empathy I can muster, they may just remove it as silently as possible out of fear of having to moderate the comments of bound-to-be popular post according to reddit’s increasingly stupid rules of discourse.
Still unjustified censorship, very worrysome - but I could on an emotional level understand being fed up with everything at this point and just powertripping because “fuck everything, I don’t want to deal with anything like this, I am not getting paid enough/at all”.
Fair. They’re volunteers, and they’ve given a lot to their sub so may want to keep it going in the chaos. They could be at work and just not have time to manage comments breaking the new stupid rules
That’s what locking is for, not removing.
Locking is actually better in that case because then it prevents reposts.
I love that its “Nazi, Nazi, Nazi … Bellend”
Reddit is going from bad to worse damn
FYI, bellend is like dickhead.
I am a Reddit refugee aswel. The moderators over there are way too petty. They removed countless posts from me for totally unclear reasons.
I’ve never known a bigger zealot than a r/athiesm user, nor a bigger power tripper than a Reddit mod.
I don’t think most people realize, Reddit itself silently removes a lot of comments and posts, and not all of them even show up in the mod queues for mods to review them.
It’s quite possible a Reddit AI removed your posts and no human even saw them.
I didn’t even wait that long. The site has been going noticably shitward for a long time. Powertripping mods with absolutely no sense of sarcasm or (gasp) humor, complete asshole userbase, comments and posts getting more and more idiotic. I still have an account but I don’t feel any need to go there anymore. Reddit was a certain day-spoiler, retrospectively.
