  • Hmm, I wonder if it is actually. I think it’s just a euphemism for it’s wrong how" or “it’s weird how we as people keep allowing this to happen in a democratic world”, but I honestly don’t think it’s sarcasm.

    I get the point and I write that way all the time too, but I thought to see what happens if I just stop participating in the pretense of it being weird.

    But yes maybe it is just sarcasm, but like the same sort of rhetoric is often used to talk about problems which are sort of too complex and large to easily assert something which should or even could be done.

    But yes. Sarcasm.


  • Bixby is better at basic tasks on the phone, like a calendar meeting.

    Gemini is better at controlling my lights and to talk about something not too objective, like asking about cooking recipes. Or it’s not bad if you need to calculate solution strengths while mixing drinks or smth. But aside from maths and other fixed constants, it’s really shit at any sort of facts.

    You can not get a reliable answer to as when a show/movie is airing because the times announced usually shift a bit and the datasets are old. In last December, before Kraven the Hunter was premiering, I asked it when that would be. It told me, in December 2024, that “Kraven the Hunter will premier in May 2024” or something. As in the future tense. And date 6 months in the past.

    So yeah.

    They’re useful for certain things but they’re still far from anything akin to Jarvis, lol. I’ve been meaning to give the one free month of Gemini Pro a go just out of curiosity at some point to see whether it’s equally shit.

    I can definitely see potential in these. It’s pretty nice being able to control my lights just by telling my phone what colour where, how much light. Also I use it for a smart plug on my screen so when I’m watching things in bed I can just hit pause and tell google to shut my screen off for me instead of having to get out of bed or put it on standby (because then the annoying blue led will stay on).












  • I’m not disagreeing.

    But I did have a thought. What if… what if… some of the kids actually aren’t doing it just for clout, but with the disguise of doing it “as a prank” and “for clout”, because teenagers are socially accepted to do shit like that. That’s a way for them to show the ignorance and hatred of their relatives or whoever with the guise of a prank.

    I mean, I don’t belive most are. But I had a hopeful thought like that and I’d like to think maybe at least some…? but I haven’t really manage to convince myself so…


  • You’re not taking a stand.

    That’s like me saying “hey, that guy there, he raped a person, I saw him put his dick into another person with force, against their will” and me asking you to be a witness and affirm that thing to the cops, and then you come in and say “well yeah, everyone who has a penis is technically a rapist, so yeah, I admit that that person is a rapist because he has a penis” which would mean you’re implying that you are not a witness to that rape.

    You see how this works? Like each and every time, I have to draw it out of you, and then when I do, you just skip and run. I told you, we’ve had this chat a dozen times.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_crimes_in_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine

    Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Russian military and authorities have committed war crimes, such as deliberate attacks against civilian targets, including on hospitals, medical facilities and on the energy grid;[1][2][3] indiscriminate attacks on densely-populated areas; the abduction, torture and murder of civilians; forced deportations; sexual violence; destruction of cultural heritage; and the killing and torture of Ukrainian prisoners of war.

    If you accept these to be true, I’d shut up. But you won’t. Instead you’ll keep whatabouting about Zelensky, hoping I’ll instead try to shift the conversation onto asking “why don’t you support Zelensky”, but that’s kinda obvious, so I don’t. And you won’t accept those crimes, like all the dozens of times before, and you won’t accept that Putin should be held personally responsible for those crimes either, I’d wager.

    Please, do prove me wrong.


  • So you admit he’s a warcriminal because of the crimes on humanity he’s guilty of, which Zelensky is not? You’re not taking a side.

    I don’t think you’re a state actor, you’re clearly not a professional in anything. But like… even if I did, do you think I’m actually trying to say that Russian disinfo wouldn’t be able to lie?

    Now you’re just doing the very same “oh I already admitted to that” thing, because you pretend like saying “all world leaders are bad” means the same thing as admitting to Putin’s crimes.

    You avoid being directly unpatriotic, because you think you can outsmart me. It’s like watching a toddler hide behind some curtains, not realising their feet are showing and that one can actually hear them giggling.

    Basically, you avoid anything that could actually get you thrown out of a window. You won’t actually take a stand against Putin. No, you’ll try to pretend to admit to criticising him while trying to criticise Zelensky. Zelensky hasn’t invaded a sovereign nation with his armed forces. He is defending his country though, and unlike Putin, he isn’t a low-test bald fattie hiding in a bunker.
