Sure, because screw artists with unique talent and style, let’s just have AI crank out the same style crap every day…

I’m rapidly getting tired of this new AI art era, looks like the same shit every day anymore.

Where’s the human factor anymore? Where’s the talent, where’s the skill?

Not sure what all happened there, but…

FAT ≠ NTFS

Oh that’s right, I forget people like to use online services these days. Back in 2008, I worked at two different banks installing new computer systems.

They gave my dumbass C3 security clearance, just to fix an icon on the desktop that didn’t properly refresh after a software update. Do you comprehend how much damage I could have caused if I wanted to with C3 security clearance?

I don’t trust online services at all. If I want to deal with my bank, I go in the bank in person.

Edit: I’m a cash only person since then.

Name your bank accounts? Since when is that a thing? Don’t they like use your actual name?

Looks like water/humidity damage to me.

I don’t care if it’s brand spanking new, it could still be humidity damage from whatever warehouse it was stored in before you got it.

If I declare that 100% of everything I’ve ever typed online might be false, will AI delete my shit?

Did you know, 23% of social media users don’t know how to sharpen a pencil?

True story, I wrote it on the internet somewhere, so it must be true by now…

Yeah, probably not the best opinion to express on Reddit, or most other sites for that matter. Even if I might happen to agree with you, that’s always gonna strike a nerve with quite a few people out there.

You’ve never seen a DNS poisoning attack have ya? I’ve seen Google infect systems just because they looked up a particular football game, because some bad actor somehow poisoned the DNS cache.

So no, “legit” sites aren’t always safe either.

I do not have an answer for you, but if I may ask…

Why?

I just finished watching for myself. I think he held up pretty well and brought up many valid points and fact checks.

One thing I didn’t see anyone bring up much regarding the topic of abortion is the topics of the health of the mother and the baby.

When I was 2 years old, we were rear ended by an 18 wheeler. My mother’s head hit the windshield. They took her to the hospital and ended up prescribing her pain killers.

It didn’t cross anyone’s mind that maybe she was pregnant again. Once the doctors found out, they realized the pain killers were the kind that cause gross life threatening fetus/baby deformities.

There was literally zero percent chance that embryo was going to survive at that early point in her pregnancy. So the doctors had no choice but to highly suggest she abort the pregnancy. Otherwise she’d either end up with a highly deformed baby, or even worse she’d end up dead herself.

She regretfully had them carry out the abortion, realizing that her first child (me) was literally named after my uncle from my father’s side that only lived to be a day and a half old, because of intestinal birth defects where his intestines were formed on the outside.

Medical technology wasn’t so great back in the 1950’s when my deformed baby uncle was born, so there wasn’t much way to know that he would be born deformed. ☹️ My father decided to name me after him in honor.

By 1984, at my own age of 2, my mother was pregnant again, but nobody knew when the truck rear ended us. But medical technology had improved enough by then that they should have at least checked whether she was pregnant or not before prescribing her medicine.

The doctors made the wrong call and prescribed something known to cause extreme birth defects. So once they found out, they insisted she have an abortion, which she regretfully did, for sake of her long term health.

She still regrets that decision today to an extent, but my mom very likely wouldn’t even be alive today if she had carried that baby.

So, my opinion on all of that is, pro choice, and to hell with politicians or religious people practicing medicine without a license…

So, aside from numerous other angry words I could say…

How is this going to affect incoming phone calls? Will I be able to at least talk with my friend, without having to hear ads the whole time because I was watching a video?

Just a friendly reminder, https://grayjay.app/ is a thing, screw the YouTube app.

They’d have to find my archives first, absolutely none of them are on the frontend. I don’t use the archive in any normal manner, and the links are effectively randomized so there’s no chance of just guessing any of my links.

I’ve been doing it for years and they haven’t pulled anything down yet.

Edit: Yes that’s clearly an archived website and not a file to direct download, but that same if_ banner bypass trick works just the same for individual file downloads.

Wanna watch a trick?

You can follow that link, it’s perfectly safe, and rather funny no less. It links to the archive…

https://web.archive.org/web/20230919001454if_/https://charleston.craigslist.org/avo/d/mount-pleasant-stealth-fighter/7667184419.html

Note the if_ after the date/time code. That bypasses their banner. None of my links are anywhere on the frontend of the archive, you literally have to know every link to find my archives.

And most of my archives aren’t even of websites, most of them are direct file downloads of older operating systems and games and stuff. Not like I’m about to share any of those here though.

I’ve been doing that for years and they haven’t found or removed a single thing I’ve archived. If they ever do, well so be it, but none of it is on the frontend, and the links are so obscure that there’s basically zero chance of anyone just randomly guessing them.

Funny you’d say that. If you manipulate the link and add if_ or fw_ after the date code, you can most certainly download files directly from the wayback machine.

Look towards the bottom of the page, ‘Save Page Now’

Snapshot feature. Apparently you’re not familiar with it.

I don’t even have an account silly. Think I’m stupid enough to do that?

Never heard of the snapshot feature have ya?

I’ve got terabytes of things archived, still there.
