Imagine pitching an article to a magazine in 2026. It's about dating and trying to find a partner, your struggles with the opposite sex etc. Editor: "great, women will love to read it!" You: "actually, I'm a man..." Editor: "Ick. Sorry, we don't do manosphere content here."

I may be biased because I'm from Newcastle and old enough to remember when Greggs was a family-owned local bakery. I still feel people wouldn't say these things if Greggs only had branches in posh southern market towns, charged 4 times the price, and called themselves "Gregory's"
Greggs is actually awful and incredibly bland but everyone just pretends it’s great because it’s quintessentially English. It isn’t great. It’s pretty rubbish. Dogfood wrapped in stale pastry.

More would-be Gerald Ratners really helping to sell the benefits of AI. "It's only generating rubbish because YOU'RE rubbish!"

Brand's appeal was 99% towards women, but there will inevitably be an attempt to rewrite history and portray him as an Andrew Tate-style figure who appealed mostly to Bad Men. Just watch.
It doesn't excuse his crimes of course but worth remembering Brand's appeal at the height of his career was mostly to women. His reputation was that women would throw themselves at him. Men of the 2000s mostly thought he was a pretentious irritating ponce.

This is obviously fake, but this is clearly why you have a duty to provide directly for your children, rather than leave everything to "informal arrangements" with your bitter and twisted bit on the side. Ask Julian Lennon.
My husband left me everything in his will but with an informal agreement that I'd ensure my two adult step children were 'well looked after'. Transpires that he was bonking some tart from the golf club for a decade, both his kids knew and are now getting absolutely fuck all.

I'm frankly in favour of the French system where biological children have a clearly-defined legal right to inherit their parent's estate, rather than potentially being disinherited just because one of their parents committed adultery.

Email from Loganair: "Still planning your escape?" No, because you cancelled the flights I'd already booked and withdrew all the routes I actually found useful, you cheeky gits.

None of the people who sided with Brand over Sachsgate, or hung out with him for years during his heyday, will cop any flak from his conviction. Meanwhile some minor right-wingers who invited him onto podcasts are going to be smeared by association, because that is how this works

Are people like this secretly anti-AI or are they doing a Gerald Ratner job on their own cult? I mean, the average human being has barely even heard of AI and they already hate it. Posts like this will help to make that permanent.
Watching an average human being trying to prompt AI is absolutely mind blowing Gentle reminder that most humans are legally retarded beyond comprehension

"You can smell a masturbation addict from a mile away" - just say they smell of spunk, you don't need to concoct a multi post thread of "red flags"
You can smell a masturbation addict from a mile away they all leak the same red flags. The first sign is:
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Scientific evidence does not support the listed behaviors as specific signs of masturbation addiction that one can detect from a distance. Masturbation is normal for most adults and the symptoms can have many other causes such as depression or anxiety. mayoclinic.org/diseases-condi… healthline.com/health/masturb…

If you put it up a girl's bum without her consent that is, in fact, rape. Call me a raging feminist, but just because she's into you does not mean every hole is a goal. I've had girlfriends who were horrified at the idea of doing bum stuff.

Can't believe the poverty, man. $200K+ for a food service manager at a petrol station in middle America that doesn't even have sit-down food service. Real austerity, right there.
There’s a real political story here, but reading reams of commentary from British journos about how people in a country more prosperous, with an incomparably stronger economy than ours, are “hurting” and “feeling pain” because of the Iran war or whatever is unbearably tedious.

Perfect illustration of why using gen AI is bad for research i.e. it just blatantly makes shit up. It's insidious in that if you ask it about a thing you know nothing about, it seems plausible. It's only when you ask it about a topic you're an expert in that you see how bad it is
[Thread] [1/6] Someone recently asked me what the point of my books is when ChatGPT can just do everything for me now. To demonstrate why, I went to ChatGPT and asked it this:

And this is just getting basic facts wrong, not even getting into the inaccuracies arising from conflation, misunderstanding of context, or political biases (which in most cases are the political biases of the owners, baked into the model).

My go-to example of this is the Abbey Road zebra crossing. There's a myth that the crossing was moved. It wasn't, and this can easily be proved using *just* the album sleeve and Google Streetview. But AI doesn't know this, and uses unreliable written sources that repeat the myth.

"Public health" now just means the moral panic du jour. If they were using this language 30 years ago they would be saying it about horror films or violent video games.

And an issue with branding things "manosphere" is that public policy and the media landscape is so female-focused that any attempt to tackle men's problems from men's perspectives is labelled "manosphere" by default. (See: any dating advice by men for men.)

The internet is changing? Which one? Reminder: @Wikipedia @Wikimedia donate $25 MILLION a year in 'endowments' to random bullshit projects that have nothing to do with preserving mankind's knowledge. If anything, harming it. Literally a money laundering scheme for faggots.

Nearly three years later, I had a chance to actually look in the book since it is now being sold in a museum in Devon! Many lies in here. DNA shows "11% of people in Roman York were black" - there are literally NO confirmed black samples from Roman York! They just made that up! Early European Farmers in Britain had "dark brown skin" - No. The page depicting Tudor England is a joke!

This seems fair enough imo. People must just blatantly take the piss with this stuff. And why on earth would you bring a random guitar to be autographed? That's like turning up at an author's book signing and presenting a different author's book for them to sign.
Jays, I've just booked my first ever 'meet & greet'. It cost me a fair few quid, and I was so excited about meeting my favourite band ... and then I received this!

"If you don't speak English, you need to find a different community" Wow, I didn't know the open source community was this based!
The r/OpenSource subreddit has officially banned anything using AI. In any way. Violators will be permanently banned. Which means… r/OpenSource will ban anyone submitting anything that, in any way, involves… the Linux kernel. reddit.com/r/opensource/comm…
