Because it’s like asking you for an ID to purchase alcohol. And you’re standing there with a full beard, some wrinkles in your skin and having an aged look. It’s insulting.
But I guess you wouldn’t know that because OMGVALVE!!
Oh no, I pissed off the angry little children and their alts. What won’t I do? :(
Oh, you’re welcome. I say as I’m not trudging through that whole blob of text.
People are stating the obvious answers, which is fine and fair.
But, McDonalds and Fast food. People can live forever by eating grease. Fried chicken too.
AI is simply a tool.
The problem is the techbros thinking it’s like a cure for cancer when it is not.
A Clockwork Orange
Don’t really think anyone would dare touch it.
I hate all age verification checks, I even hate Steam’s when they present me that dumb number drop list before I see a game’s store page based on its content. If you know my age, you don’t need to ever fucking ask me. If I’ve told you, with a straight face and no malicious intent that “I’m over 30” “I’m over 30” “I’m over 30” then STOP ASKING ME FOR MY AGE!!
Now something I don’t see some people talk about is that, there are people out there who have lied about their age. It’s nothing new. You’ve done it. I’ve done it. We’ve collectively been building a platform for this to eventually be coming and we’re paying some of that price.
With Discord going Public in March and this rolling out in March, it goes hand and hand.
Yes because getting all mad and raging is the key.
…No it’s not. There’s too much mad and raging, it’s fucking tiring. Chill a little on some things.
The reality is, is that we’re going to be the only ones who care.
Everyone didn’t go from GMail to Proton or others. Everyone didn’t go from Reddit to Lemmy. Everyone didn’t go from Telegram to Signal. Everyone didn’t go from Twitter to Mastodon (Bluesky I guess works?)
This is going to be no different.
I didn’t expect one of my friends to wound up working in supervisor roles in retail stores. I always thought she had the tools to be creative and would wind up in some animation studio or something.
It’s like the people who want Trump to go to jail.
Nah, he’s going to die comfortably before ever seeing an ounce of justice.
I am not giving up on the internet, but I have slowed down quite a lot in the past 5 years. I check very few sites anymore, I no longer game on multiplayer. In fact, I was even content being on a 50MBps internet plan. But, my ISP stupidly got rid of that plan so I find 100MBps too much for someone who isn’t going to utilize all of its speed. I don’t need anything beyond 100MB anyways.
Been online for over three decades, the internet has helped me in many ways, but it also has made me feel the worst of ways. Like having incredulous bouts of depression that yearns for yesteryear’s internet because today’s internet is all noise. It’s just noise and nothing truly innovative has been made that is interesting. Everything that gets made, all serve means to increase advantages for those that cause problems.
If it hasn’t happened already yet but I predict within the next 5 years, all I’m going to care about is just streaming and e-mail checking. I’ll just join the old crowd.
Realize and accept that time is going to move forward whether I like it or not, as well as not having that fruitful of a life. Then just hope I get a better life once this one is over.
This is overblown.
How about get mad when they start using AI tools to revitalize old games or use AI code to make old games compatible to work on modern OSes.
See? This is what I am talking about, this browbeating shit I see from linux users. It is insufferable and you all sound like advertisements and I hate advertisements. Linux technically has advertisers and it is people like you.
The difference with Windows advertisements and Linux advertisers is, I can close and ignore the Windows advertisement. With Linux, you fuckers just follow and hound on everyone that so much even mentions Linux and how they talk about THEIR computing preferences.
“WHURRT?! U NOT USE LINUX! U ARE SHEEPLE WHO DON’T USE LINUX!! UR DICK WILL BE ALL HARD IF U JUST USE LINUX!”
I never EVER hear this shit from Windows users, only loser no-life Linux ones. Fuck all the way off.
No matter what, I kept getting shadow-banned.
I’ve been banned hundreds of times on Reddit so whether it was my fault is either here or there. It’s hard to know some of the time, because of how rabid the users on Reddit are. People will do so much shit to you just to get the final say, up to revenge reporting to have you banned. So because of being banned on Reddit so many times, the only chance I ever have of getting back on there, is obviously an IP change with a different ISP. VPN doesn’t work. Every method I’ve done before to work around being banned, doesn’t work.
I’ve used Reddit since 2015.
Are you trying to defeat the purpose of this instance? I mean, anyone could just pop a question as the header and then in the body context, just state their answer.
Just avoid the charcoal toothpastes and brushes. That’s a stupid trend of its own and you’ll do more damage to your teeth that way.
I have the real quote here:
