I just turned 45. But I have 1 point. I’d happily pretend to be 39 though.

1 point because cheques have always been rare in my country.

2 if you are strict with the Blockbuster thing, we had Videoland instead but I have rented video tapes from a video rental store like Blockbuster.

It’s a perfect 5 out of 7

Is no rock, is troll kid!

There’s a U.S. base in Greenland. That’s what the Vances visited

This image is proof that it was a fantastic idea from the citizens of Nuuk to not allow the Vances in their town. They’d have been abused for an image like this. This is the only reason why Vance wanted to visit Greenland.

So now they’re using their soldiers as backdrop to pretend they’re Greenlanders.

People have a brain. Well most people. AI is no replacement for brains.

The big problem with that is potentially: you get one crank against one serious person, the crank can just gish-gallop and the serious person will need hours just to untangle the web of lies.

the original intent he had of letting people defend their weird positions is a good one imo.

If people were meant to defend their weird positions, that would mean that Rogan was supposed to give pushback.

That was clearly never going to happen, because he’d need to seriously investigate his guests claims beforehand.

So instead we got a podcast that’s filled with obvious misinformation with hardly a critical note from Rogan. Dumbing down his audience with BS. Causing more distrust for experts, and anti-intellectualism.

His privilege is shining brightly though.

Gamergate was at least easy to ignore.

Except if you’re a woman and operated in gaming spaces.

This dude doesn’t like cheese, I’ll leave it all to women to eat.

Good point, but given that I don’t say anything in my bed room (I live alone, and I don’t date), I wish it good luck hearing anything.

Succumb… Scorn… Sob… (but in fancy lettering)

Yeah it kinda sounds like it. The eier kind of sounds like hey, and koeken sounds a bit like Google.

I’ve had a few other accidental activations, that I couldn’t explain that easily, even from podcasts, that I decided that I didn’t need it. But in Android Auto I couldn’t find to option to turn off the activation phrase, so instead I turned it off completely.

My Google speaker only hears me say “hey Google, set an alarm in x hours” and “stop”. Good luck profiling me.

And I turned off the Google assistant in my car. It was more a nuisance than a blessing. It would trigger if you said “eierkoeken” which was hilarious when we were talking about those things during a road trip.

Please clean up the mess. You can’t just go nutting everywhere you please!

The fact that Meta is so desperately trying to destroy this book and its author must mean that it’s factual to a tee. I hope we can Streisand Effect this into the NYT Best Sellers list.
