Dumbest AND most genius: Fake captchas that get the user to press windows+R, then control+C, then enter.

Dumbest because if you paid attention to what’s being pasted, it’s usually a call to power shell with an arbitrary script, and it’s being pasted into your OS’s run box which is basically like a console.

But also genius because there are tons of people that fall for it, and it’s a social engineering masterpiece.

This really highlights two systemic issues: tons of people don’t know what they’re doing with computers and don’t know basic security concepts like don’t run an arbitrary script from an untrusted website, and we should probably do something about that. Which brings me to the second point that Windows is pretty ass for making it this easy. Why can you run an encoded power shell script from your run box, and why would you make bypassing the execution policy as easy as a flag in the command you’re invoking? I can’t imagine those have a lot of legitimate uses and aren’t just being abused by criminals.

So it will fit right into Meta’s work culture then!

Computer speak is disturbingly similar to text message speak

Bugs are bioengineering masterpieces.

The most recent Zefrank video is a great example of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spuO7OpS6zw

This is so poorly written I have no idea if it’s sarcasm or not.

They have the same mentality as the people dunking witches in the middle ages. “It’s fine to kill them because they’ll go to heaven if they’re not a witch Jewish.”

Doesn’t Israel claim that Iran imprisons Jews? They can’t even pretend to keep their propaganda consistent, or worse, they actually believe it and wrote any hypothetical imprisoned Jews off as necessary sacrifices.

Nihilism. I’ve fully accepted that humans are definitely going extinct and I’m just along for the ride. It’s oddly comforting to realize nothing you do matters in the long run because your entire species and society has no future. I’ll focus on being a nice person to the few other humans that know me instead of trying to change the entire world, because realistically I can’t change the world. If I can make some positive impacts to a few other individuals before we all die, I’ll take that as a win.

Is that a healthy mindset? No. But I’m not a healthy person to begin with so I don’t care.

Don’t salt your food before you eat it.

Depends on the species. Some birds (usually birds of prey) are extremely territorial especially to members of their own species which are obviously their biggest competitors.

This is just pathetic and certainly not beating the narcissism claims.

Also, “smart” and high IQ are different things.

There’s no way to objectively measure how “smart” someone is, but if you think the bogus test and bogus score developed by eugenic pseudoscientists looking for an excuse to prevent the untermensch from breeding is the objective measure, you are in fact stupid.

A private condemnation is a commendation but they’re too afraid to outright say it.

It’s fitting because at the end of that episode, they learn that the US was in fact the alien invaders declaring war on other planets.

Genuinely curious: why use an AI image instead of the many real Constructivist buildings?

I especially this one, nice balance of raw concrete and ornamentation:
