A thread focused on discussing the parasocial relationships cultivated by the
Almighty Algorithm to generate profit off of our atomization and society's commodification of petty internet drama.

Facebook's Threads is so depressing by Jason O. Gilbert
https://jogblog.substack.com/p/facebooks-threads-is-so-depressing>>2943017rent free on BadHead damn
>>2943363Sam Altman is so out-of-touch and brain dead. Does he think he's going to guilt trip us into giving up our RAM? It's because of assholes like him that everything keeps getting more expensive.
>>2943415lmao. he'll make personal computers prohibitively expensive. whatever computers you currently own are the last you'll ever own. and neither you not anyone else will do anything about it.
>>2943415He has never really been in-touch unless you can't him raping his toddler sister
>>2943420oh really? People are far more clever than you think. And nice job shilling for a sociopath porky that raped his sister.
>>2943426have they awakened the gamerz??
>>2943436>>2943363I don't understand his motivations, surely he understands that this makes people mad, is he just trolling and trying to keep his name in the headlines?
>>2943452why would he give a fuck if he makes people mad? they have to take it up the ass anyway. you WILL get fucked
>>2943453I mean yeah but like what's the point
>>2943226This grifter is still at it huh
>>2943170It's definitely organic and not at all suspicious that another fake hasan controversy pops up right when Ethan kleenex is imploding and the fact that he and his financial backers are exposed manufacturing bullshit against him.
>>2943575Pretty sure the hasan controversy factory is always running with or without KKKlein being a shareholder anon
>>2943575yeah. badempanada is being paid by ethan klein to shit on hasan piker
>>2943456Well , Scam Altman is a sociopathic narcissist like so many tech-bro bourgeoisie. He's basically doing this to keep the hype of OpenAI going so people will still keep on investing in his company.
t. vid related
>>2943575Hasan Piker shilled a rapist war criminal, not once, but multiple times. Has nothing to do with Ethan KKKlein who also ALWAYS was a genocidal zionist and best friend of Hasan Piker.
>>2943580Wouldn't put it past from known zionist PedoEmpanada.
>>2943649Are you Lindsay Ellis?
>>2943775Nothing human is alien to me
😔 I have been banned from reddit permanently 😔
>>2943806I just made an innocent joke about Jews in a Crusader Kings joke subreddit.
>>2943986Probably I guess he didn't feel there was enough ill-will in the broader left community to make a vid about how they were all glowies and dnc socdem counter revolutionary treatler shills or whatever. Does he ever make a video in support of anything?
>>2943984I only game to escape my stupid prole life where I'm underpaid and overworked.
give people more money and less hours and I promise you gaming will go down, just like obesity.
>>2943988>Does he ever make a video in support of anything?Greta Thunberg.
>>2943984Isn't this just a "troubled teen" camp like they've had in America for decades
>>2944000communist conservatism will never fail to make me laugh
>>2943622Oh how awful.
Anyway
>>2944000no it isn't
>>2944002he is covered in filth, his nails are several inches long, his back is hunched like he's over 60. he clearly needs help. helping able bodied adults overcome their addictions to become functioning members of the collective should never ever ever be characterized as "conservatism." Why are you giving reactionaries undeserved Ws?
>>2943735terminally online chud zoomers are developing divorced dad energy despite most of them not having families, and the prequels are probably the youngest thing they were old enough to remember and mentally retcon. elon musk tweeted out some "this is what they took from us" AI slop shit with anakin skywalker sitting on athrone, whole-bodied and unburned, with his wife padme loyally standing by as eye candy, and his two children kneeling nearby. The implication being that woke ruined star wars or something even though the prequels were always intended as a story of how this guy became a villain by murdering women and children and chokeslamming his own wife while she was pregnant so that she died in childbirth LOL
>>2944000those camps are always abusive. I think comparing this initiative to those programs is worse than what's actually happening.
but also, this isn't a real thing. if the cpc wanted to combat gaming they would take a more heavyhanded approach. they already limit the number of hours you can spend in a game before it starts giving you warnings to log off every hour. soon they will have mandatory temp bans if you play too long. hikkineets WILL be forced to go outside
>>2944025>functioning members of the collectivelol jfc
dont give the ops Ws fam
what are we even doing???
>>2944013Tell us more about your love for Israel
>>2942992A colleague of mine told me this: "I don't eat fish because I'm a vegetarian." Now, if you replace the letters v-e-g-e-t-a-r-i-a-n with z-i-o-f-a-s-c-i-s-t, what do you get? Same number of letters by the way. Coincidence??
