first of all you’re not shittymorph, and second of all, I believe we prefer meta shitposts about beans around these parts

don’t worry, gay people will probably buy you some time. I’m almost sure they hate us more.

ooh, I get what Windows Recall is for now!

in a not-so-distant future:

[Clippy rolls up smug as fuck] Windows Automated Trust & Safety has detected you may be attempting to [research certain delicate historical topics|plan a protest|subvert the will of the Party/ruling class]. Please wait patiently where you are, the proper authorities have been notified.

The idea nobody ever thought was a good idea that they went ahead and did anyways? Yeah, makes a lot more sense now! Cram an AI in your PC, give it full access to all the things you do on it through a series of screenshots, and be sure the system prompt includes “phone home if they act a little… Luigi-ish”.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

might be a bit pretentious to quote 1984 but boy, try telling me the right wing reality distortion field doesn’t exist.

I was gonna say, 4x the amount of RAM I have, made me feel inadequate. like, “am I really that poor now? is my 2080 now considered potato gaming?”

it’s simply been so long since I’ve gone “ok I need to upgrade” that I’m starting to get suspicious

if you say so, whatever makes you happy.

I’ll concede the data plan dent thing; I hadn’t done any math regarding that. Thanks for clarifying that to me and everyone else!

I accept your concession, better luck next time.

But you did say “none” so I just pointed out the fact that it’s not none. It’s some. I wasn’t wrong to point that out. No matter how much of a stickler you find me for that.

pedantry is pedantry, if you interject with “well ACKSHUALLY” over literally a couple kilobytes of data in this, the Year Of Our Lord 2025 where common storage device sizes are in the multiple terabyte range, and 100mbps down/10 up is exceedingly common, expect to be called one. It is functionally none, because it is not 1993.

Autistic or not.

can’t even come up with your own insult for me, just gonna steal that sad attempt at bait from the other guy? how… underwhelming, must do better. 🤡

what a rude thing to say, especially considering I wasn’t talking to you.

I’m gonna keep it that way, best of luck baiting someone else champ.

lol

furthermore: lmao.

you’ve got to try a lot harder to “rustle” me, but I like your moxie for thinking you did, sport

doing the math, even the cheapest phone plans that don’t explicitly exclude data, nowadays include at least 1GB of data for free. Usually more. Almost any reachable amount of outbound requests to click on ads would barely put a dent in your data allowance.

Okay, fine, not enough to matter. Are you satisfied with that?

so use a VPN? if you’re the sort of user using AdNauseam, and is concerned about tracking, you’re probably also the sort of user who already uses a VPN.

1. not in this way
2. not enough to matter

the way it works is sending an HTTP request that registers as a “click” to the advertiser (thus costing them money), but then doesn’t actually let the browser download any content and fetch the webpage, basically pi-holes the destination site and any attached tracking cookies. Combined with the fact that it does this to every ad, it would basically poison any click tracking.

edit: pedants

and before I get any more of you, this is just what I remember reading about adnauseam, do not take it as gospel, go look at AdNauseam’s FAQ.

you know that article is dated September 28th 2023, right?

now, I’m not saying Israel doesnt have a history of acting like bastards, but that’s just a wee bit before they started ethnically cleansing the Gaza strip.

who says I think Germany would be on our side?

at this rate, the US is looking more and more like it’ll jump into bed with Russia than the rest of NATO.

thaaaaank you, that’s goin’ in the seedbox

what is this from I must see this immediately

also, yoink.

That is absolutely gonna be a relevant gif in the near future, I can just see it.

I’d like to believe they’ll kick the Nazis out of the bar before they reach the levers of true power, but I’m American and you see how well having that naive hope went for us.

Having said that, I imagine the Germans are at least slightly more cognizant of the risks involved than we are. Difference between “It can’t happen here!” and “It has already happened here and it was bad.”

for the first time, Germany possibly gets to be the “good guys” in a world war! Quite a turnaround.

god, I miss when Ubisoft weren’t shit

can’t wait for them to go bankrupt. Then we can have another good Far Cry game, hopefully, when the rights are snapped up at auction.

It’s adorable you think “fair” matters at all to these people.

If anything, they’ll give him breaks to take emergency shots.
