I think most of the “real” ones died in the attack on Kiev in the first three days of the war.

It’s both marketing and psyop. Prepping the populace for what will soon be commonplace.

Worked for me. Never officially diagnosed, but I know I’m neurospicy because my son was assessed and I tick basically every same box as him.

Can’t stop the people pleasing, it’s the only reason I don’t have 0 people left in my life. I already don’t have any friends.

Basically, there are no good guys left anymore. They were either killed, usurped, or they had to change to survive. Our current system does not allow for such deviations at all, and never will.

Well, if China’s ever going to make an attempt on Taiwan, this would be about the time to do it.

That was never the objective in the first place. Blanket surveillance and getting people used to the idea of zero privacy, ever again.

I was the only one cut from my team of about 10 for AI. I had been there the longest (10 years). It’s all very transparent, but there’s nothing we can do against it.

I already got cut. Lost my 10-year IT job to AI last year. Now I’m working in a factory, packaging waffles 8 hr/day. The irony of me doing drudgery that could be fairly easily done by a machine, while a machine is doing something that requires agency, decisions and creativity, is not lost on me.

I want to get off mr. Bones Wild Ride. Forever.

The whole Stop Killing Games debacle clearly showed us that the EU, despite its rhetoric, isn’t interested in championing consumer rights in the slightest.

GTA5 was out for like three years on PC before I bothered with it. I found it to be… fairly mediocre. There’s nothing in GTA6 that would make me feel otherwise. I’ll eventually play it… at great discount, or not at all.

Good! Fuck Google.

Willing to bet a nonzero amount of Western journalists/activists’ phones are equally compromised. In 2026 you simply have to assume that a smartphone is a 24/7 spy center trained on you if you’re of any importance at all.

That’s quite obviously the end goal here.

Major respect for taking one for the team.

It’s actually the other way around I’m afraid.

I once got a 2k camera + gear + extra (Sigma!) lenses for three fiddy. No Loch Ness monsters involved tho.

Well fuck. Add another contender to the apocalypse bingo, why not.

Nothing a quick pill won’t fix.

Now, convincing your wife to take pills for YOUR illness, that’s another thing.

The longer this goes on the more it seems like the explicit goal rather than a side effect.

Still running Win11 on my gaming rig. The very first time an update breaks something again it’s gone.
