This is basically the one line version of Metal Gear Solid 2 is a post-modern deconstruction of 21st century culture.

My friends are addicted to League of Legends. I often ask them how they can put up with such a toxic culture and they said they like being toxic themselves. Just reminded me of Monty Python’s “I’d like to have an argument, please”.

Rattle 'em, boys!

YouTube, for now, doesn’t show any ads. Twitch bombards you with them. I can’t stand it so I don’t watch stuff on Twitch.

I feel bad for Indian people. India is one of the most populated countries in the world with an amazing history and culture and all you ever hear is that their men cannot stop themselves from sexually harassing and raping women and their government not only doesn’t do anything to stop that but actively encourages it.

The middle east has some of the most valuable natural resource stores in the world with a large and young population. If they got their shit together they’d be economic power houses. Iran has the world’s largest zinc deposits yet ranks 30th in the world in zinc production.

Have you noticed gum has gotten mintier lately?

Google translating “aaaaaaaaaaaa” as “ah ah ah ah ah ah” always makes me laugh

For years my dad has unknowingly been doing an Uncle Roger impression every time he orders Chinese food.

Yes! My parents make more than average and I never realized it until I started hanging out with friends as a teenager. I once had a friend who would always come over to play games on my PlayStation/Xbox/Gamecube. I asked him why he didn’t ask his parents for a console and some games since he loved playing mine so much. He just responded “dude…my parents can’t afford it.”

I didn’t get it. How could two people working full time not be able to afford a few hundred dollars? His parents were nice enough to tell me their hourly wages. I then asked my parents for theirs. That’s when I realized the difference. My parents made 3 times what his parents made. When I mentioned this to my parents, they told me it was his parents’ fault for choosing bad jobs. They should have chose to make more money! Obviously! That’s when I learned my parents were rich jerks.

To save you and others a click. It’s describing anyone who acts like the sealion in this comic

Because AI needs a lot of training data to reliably generate something appropriate. It’s easier to get millions of reddit posts than millions of research papers.

Even then, LLMs simply generate text but have no idea what the text means. It just knows those words have a high probability of matching the expected response. It doesn’t check that what was generated is factual.

Isn’t Persona 5 the one where the dude sleeps with his teacher?

They believe every american at birth is given a secret bank account tied to their social security number worth millions of dollars and this is how you “authorize” someone to draw funds from that account. It gets even better when you ask why would the government create secret bank accounts for people: it’s because the government sells babies to cover its debts since they ran out of gold.

Remember the basics of CQC

“And being financially irresponsible”. He took the £1 million he made and blew it on luxurious items and now it’s all gone. He could have won the lottery and it’d be the same story.

Just two bros chilling in the movie theater, 5 seats apart because they’re not gay!

When I made the last payment on my student loan I got a similar letter. Something along the lines of “it appears you have made your last payment, but we still need to review the account to confirm. If you dont get another invoice from us then it’s all good.” I then got an invoice for about $1 which was the interest that gained on the account from the time I mailed the last cheque and the time they cashed it.

I’m going to assume this person sent in something that looked like a payment which triggered the “looks like you made your last payment” letter but then accounting realized the payment was phony and sent an invoice.
