Or, the internet, the same medium upon which the noisome roots of social media depend, has some induced self-selection bias for increasing connectivity. It’s basically behaving like a weird superorganism and advocating for conditions to make it grow. At, I might add, the expense of the host species.

I want to make this perfectly clear. “You wanna make a bet?” died in fucking elementary school for me. Like it should for every mature, sane human. Gambling is for, and done by, the most immature, underdeveloped losers in our society. I’ve never once met someone who went to a casino and told me about that I didn’t instantly lose a measureable amount of respect for. I would have absolutely no qualms about levelling every casino on the planet and forcing the property owners to donate the land to public park space.

You are not “winners with no winnings”. You are losers.

The fact that it is growing in popularity and we now have douche canoes on polymarket every second commercial just tells me we’re devolving.

For some reason your comment reminded me of that ol’ Tim Robinson ditty.

The skeletons will pull your hair. Up, but not out.

Also wouldn’t his hair be like… permanently greasy? The only guy who’s hair might be worse (other than trump but that’s not hair as much as it is a region of spacetime that has a few more ppm of alpha helix protein than the hard vacuum) is Nutlick now that he has that gangsta-ass mullet.

Infinary.

Is it worth chiming in that I’ve personally never seen any image or facsimile of that thing that is in any way, shape, or form flattering to the subject matter? If I was making a catalogue of “shammies one would wash one’s car with” its complexion might make an appearance in the appendix but otherwise nah. No redeeming value from a photographic stance, or, frankly, from any other point of view really.

He’s not much good to humanity alive.

Morcheeba dropped a banger about this phenomenon some years ago

Fascism. They looove the taste of boot leather.

Sorry, who?

I checked, but the only memorable Kirk I can dredge up from my memory (which is where I store facts about people worth remembering) is that of James Tiberius Kirk, captain of the USS Enterprise.

The Romans devalued their currency too. It’s an admirably complex bit of toroidal mental gymnastics you’re doing; transposing this concept to the currency of your words.

All that happens is more gpus spin up though. Just more waste. It’s indefensible.

Yeah I also don’t notice it if we’re friends. It’s the assumption of familiarity that bugs me/feels disrespectful, I think…

“Bro” or any variation thereof that assumes familiarity where none exists.

The artifice offends.

That’s why all of us Americans can quickly tell when someone is just trying to start shit when they get angry online…

The abysmal state of your union somewhat belies your stated ability to “tell when someone is just trying to start shit”. Someone started shit quite some time ago, friend. They continue to do so and I don’t see any evidence that the body politic is even remotely aware.

I’m just saying the American shit detection algorithm might not be as sophisticated as you’re making it out to be.

…and it happened in a vacuum, just all by itself.

Ok but your not speaking to a Chinese, but to a Canadian, so don’t make me laugh any harder than you already have or I’ll need to go see a doctor for free.

Do you also teach your kids your unendurable arrogance?

Imagine how much more successful any given business might be by simply… ignoring Twitter.

Doesn’t America also have near universal healthcare then

Lol wut. Not even remotely.

Geez. Fire whoever hired that guy I guess.

And dig deep. This might go all the way to the top; we might have to clean the whoooole house here.

A much more original way to devalue your currency than the Romans.

May it go to zero.
