Donald Trump indicted (again), the 1000% apolitical news thread (again)
maybe. maybe not. it's not surly's job to be the arbiter of information that people need to read. we aren't over here trying to determine what is newsworthy and what isn't. we're over here trying to keep politics confined to the politics board because it infects and destroys other boards that let it. if a news event is political, it should be discussed as political, not as a "news" topic so some of you so-called sneaky fuck trolls can try to get a rise out of each other like my teenage boys. yall do that to each other on dt over and over again. "totally not a political post but totally a political post" is a thing. yall do it for reasons that are beyond me. there are no tangible reasons for yall to fight like idiots over the forum where a discussion occurs. why does it fucking matter so much?

Donald Trump indicted (again), the 1000% apolitical news thread (again)
i guess the only thing i have to ask is what is accomplished by discussing political news in DT? i mean, there is virtually no fucking way to separate the politics from a former president being indicted. we can talk about nixon now in DT because it's ancient fucking history. this is real time history happening in front of our eyes, and it's highly politicized. sometimes a news story is just a political news story, and it cannot be separated. what's accomplished by having a "news only" indictment of a former president thread? what is it you'll get here you won't get in CR?

Shit posters - banning?
to be fair, @blacklab stays out of the politics side of the board for the most part, so he won't see what you are referencing. donkey's one of the weird ones. sometimes, he comes across as successfully sincere, but there are sooooo many bs posts of "aw shucks guys, i mean, i don't like x, but answer all these questions or address all these points" that it becomes difficult to hide after awhile. for those of you bitching about people coming back - it's amazing the time and effort people will put into burner emails and vpns to avoid bans or ip bans. it's massively mentally fucked, but people need the interaction. as to why we don't play whack a mole, it's because we rely on reported posts most of the fucking time. we don't read every post. i read WAY more than blacklab, and even then i miss hosts and hosts of content on this website. it's a big place. also, we do rely on crowd sourcing of trolls and spambots - so it's a powerful weapon you wield when you rep. 'just kidding, it's mostly bullshit, but seriously, stop chasing down old posts to neg, unless it's justified from a recently bumped thread.

Shit posters - banning?
i've said it many times before, but i'll say it again: my default moderator action is to do nothing. there is not a single thrill that comes with moderating this board. i hate having to suspend people for posting stupid shit. it's bad enough that we are dealing with old school spammer bullshit from time to time, but you goddamn legit posters need to take a breath. i realize that some of you are legit trolls, maybe getting paid for it, maybe not, but again, my default action is to do nothing, until i see repeated behavior. i'm far more likely to respond to reported posts, as those indicate to me that this post bothered someone enough to report it. sometimes yall report things like "he called me a poopyhead," or "he told me he'd pee in my wife's butt" which is all perfectly acceptable. but often enough the reports are close enough to one of the few lines we've got here (and yeah, we started with one, and maybe have a handful now, get over it and grow up) that i hit someone with a suspension. sometimes those people get butthurt about it, won't stop and realize that 1) i'd rather that fuck around with them in the time i spend here and 2) i know whoever gets suspended is going to bitch to high heaven about how "biased" i am or some bullshit. if i've banned you, i'd advise you to have a think and if you're really bothered by it, send me a message. i'll consider and respond. i will say, generally, i have better things to do than chase down whether a cadre of posters are harassing a particular poster via pm or rep fatwa, but given that it can end very badly, i try to spend some time on it. usually, the person getting the negs are fucking pains in the ass themselves and there are no good guys to choose from. so i get to be the bad guy. it's okay. someone has to be, i guess.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
it's well tilled ground so i won't go over it all again (shit, we are talking now in decade long time spans) but suffice it to say there's a good reason that's one of the only rules around here.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
i did want to address this also because it is super relevant given the age of our posters but also the continuity and 20+ years some of us have been part of this same community... things started changing "here" when shit got real and someone took their own life. i won't get into the details but the whole idea behind this community is to be edgy assholes (even back to hornfans). but there's a wonderful undercurrent of community and caring here. it's special and hard to describe. as such a self moderated and self policed community, what is acceptable has changed. and that's good. and it's going to keep changing for the better. and that's a good thing. this place was sort of founded on an ethos of go fuck yourself and die in a fire. that's changed and that's cool. tl;dr: go fuck yourself

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
the billy batts thing has always bothered me but i think I'm coming around to understanding. to me, batts always represented a generational divide and a perfect boomer representation of "fuck you i got mine i can do what i want get your shinebox kid" attitude. shit had changed while billy was inside but he was too self involved and prideful to see it. it's the perfect representation of a generational suicide and what our inner psycho would like to do with boomers sometimes when they still pine for the good old days when they could just do what they want. every good mob tale is the tale of the american immigrant and the tale of multiple generations handling success in their own way in their own time. and the good part usually comes when the younger generation asks wtf and shakes the tree even when they end up dead because of it.

AI Drone attacks human operator
so this is an amazing comment. somehow combined with your avatar, it's triggered something in my mind, but i'm not sure yet what. your point that we are more worried about the thing going full than the fact that it's capable of dispatching a human life without a real thought about it is monstrous.

all it is doing is highlighting how antiquated our means of human assessment really are. rote fact memorization is stupid and has been since the invention of the encyclopedia much less the internet. it's important not to think of chapgpt as a learning entity. all it is really doing is dressing up factual information on easy to digest language. it's far superior to a search engine at this point. but as far as interpreting information and/or "learning" is not doing any of that. everything it does is derivative.

The Business of Hollywood & Streaming
this whole netflix thing has been fascinating to me for years. admittedly, i never got it. the content was never worth the cost and i never had built in loyalty from the old dvd days so i was always an uphill sale on it. i still am. they are still using fucking subscriber metrics to measure growth for fuck's sake. so much so that they went on a punitive subscriber quest right during a writer strike and a dearth of content amd shitty content decisions. i never understood why netflix was always seen as such a market pioneer. now they seem to want to increase revenues with negative publicity. great idea dummies.
