Some people even suggest typing a longer password over a simpler one with more special characters. It's harder to brute force.

It's enough to learn when you are being gaslighted about machine gun ammo consumption. Yes, it eats ammo faster, but it is also more dangerous. Furthermore, being fully automatic doesn't mean you spam it until it consumes the whole cartridge, it means you have more control how many bullets you can track with each trigger engagement. It's why burst mode exists, but better. People do have an idea in how to control ammo consumption, it is a core game mechanic with most games with guns.

I like how you are acting like most of us haven't played an FPS. The biggest difference is that there is no balance nerf between the damage an automatic bullet does and a semiautomatic bullet does. It's certainly leading to more gun deaths in Mexico, where a lot of these weapons are getting exported down to, although it is refreshing to act like school shootings still aren't a thing.

I fully expect for police to have to fear being "suppressive fired" soon enough, there are enough militant groups within the US that will enjoy the news, specially given the number of their members that were pardoned for Jan 6th.

It seemed to tangent off so I had to circle back around.

If people need to be warned that they might be scammed by someone with an Indian voice asking them for gift cards, I think that they should be reclassified as AI mounts instead of people at that point.

People do become more senile as they get older, but they need to recognize it as well as prepare ahead of it in time. Who knows, maybe being an AI pet mount then wouldn't be so bad, as long as it was with an offline localized LLM-like AI vetted openly and widely, not the transparent excuse for abuse this is.

There's a reason the American revolution wasn't just a group of people known for just peacefully protesting and criticizing until a new king rolled over.

The bigger problem is that politics today isn't BS association to what "left" is versus BS association to what "right" is, it's becoming those that are willing to work within a system versus those that are just willing to exploit it. Trying to map out left and right is a concept so absurd no amount of coordinate systems is going to make people across language barriers and international barriers agree on how you label them.

Reasonable people that disagree are going to have more disagreements than an echo chamber masking a defrauding scheme that is open to be bought by the highest bidders.

Fun fact, I once alluded to this on reddit's worldnews and they associated me with Hitler because apparently trying to say there is more than one dimension is trying to whitewash Nazism.

Troll factories can get defensive, don't touch what they work with.

Not only does no one give someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return, they also don't give it away for free unless they know they are dealing who they know will give something at least comparable back in return. You can tell who Trump doesn't grift by things like this.

I am used to listening to streams while walking, but I've been noticing the most annoying ads pop-up when I'm interested in something they are saying. This isn't going to make me pay attention to those ads, it's going to drive me to the plethora of other services I can use. The worst thing about it is that it doesn't even pause and cache the stream, meaning that if I was listening to something interesting, the ad just causes me to miss it. Google just keeps eating its own tail.

It also serves to dismantle and pacify any possibility of actual opposition growing a pair. When just saying something is "ripping" someone, it has the effect of making it seem like something that is actually effective is being done. When the cult does it, it works for them because it is intended to build cults of ideology that oppose reality by appealing to egos, but they also call for their base to mobilize in ways that are effective. Here, people and politicians just don't want to face doing what would be effective, so they just add stronger language for their usual fallback.

Imagine if the American revolution had been about people just waiting for the British parliament and King George III to roll over with peaceful protests while they waited. The side with the gullible personality cult is the one getting mobilized and radicalized while the opposition is pacified with the illusion that due process will suddenly materialize again and that everyone will acknowledge how right they were.

All these headlines make the relative pacifism that is happening seem like activism that is being effective. People need to realize how bad things are going to feel bad enough to do something about it, not be told that just pointing out "that's bad!" is ripping anyone a new one just because it comes from another mouthpiece. There's nothing wrong with the news getting out or pointing out how bad it is, it's the language that suggests that more is being done against it than actually is.

Couldn't agree more. On YouTube I'm particularly sick of MeidasTouch, not just because of this exploitative use of headlines but because their sponsors are usually equally bad gimmicks.
