It’s good but holy shit is it censored! Try generating any kind of scene on a beach…

Maybe they should fire some of the administrators instead of cutting research. There are 1.35 administrators per undergrad at Harvard. https://www.thecollegefix.com/at-harvard-there-are-2600-more... Many ”work” in DEI.

Never in history have so many immigrated to the US. Way to go screwing over your own kids.

This is supposed to be his ”manifesto”.

Doesn’t seem to me like he has a superiority complex. He is devastated by his mother’s illness and the actions of United Healthcare.

Just use the ”following” tab instead of the ”for you” tab, and you get that on X.

New comment by Melchizedek in "Valve says Steam users don't own a thing, GOG says its games can't be taken away"

Melchizedek — Sat, 12 Oct 2024 10:04:55 +0000

Recently the Steam client stopped working with old Nvidia cards. So now you can’t start your games anymore even though they technically still work because they have to be started via the client. And you can’t go back to an older, working, client.

Melchizedek — Sat, 28 Sep 2024 08:51:31 +0000

People abuse the flagging functionality by flagging submissions that go against their ideology or prejudice. I think it’s part of the current suppress/censor/ban/deplatform/demonetize/unperson zeitgeist.

I’m just using the same language as the Post on X. American hyper sensitivity to certain words is not universal. The point is that driverless taxi companies will eventually have to face reality outside of the relatively safe areas where they currently opeate.

New comment by Melchizedek in "Twitter/X will let people you've blocked see your posts"

Melchizedek — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 07:13:14 +0000

There seems to be an extreme obsession with blocking, banning, censoring, demonetizing, deplatforming, firing, unbanking, un-personing. And this is from people whose opininions already completely dominate mainstream media and all of public life. This is not healthy.

Not to mention huge benefits to the environment, reduced pollution, less traffic congestion leading to increased societal efficiency overall. And we can go on and on.

But it’s obvious corps only like to virtue signal about such things while in reality not caring one iota about them.
